My lack of a sense of taste appears to have people intrigued...so I'll elaborate here, rather than answering all the individual questions. I lost my sense of smell a couple of years ago and the taste went at the same time. Doctors have made a number of attempts to sort the smell out (which is where the problem lies). I've been on a high steroid dose three times and each time smell & taste come back, but the steroid course can only last a few days and as soon as it stops I lose the senses again.
Just wondering, has this changed at all in the past 9 years or is it a similar situation today?
"I like the Sausage and Egg McMuffin"
"I don't have a sense of taste, I haven't for a couple of years now"
Suddenly everything becomes clear.
+docthebiker yep
lol
+litven Mucky D breaks the yolks of the eggs in the B and E McMuckin so it gets cooked solid. Be that for health or so someone doesn't sue them because egg yolk gets on their tie I don't know, but it makes them horrible (even more).
As I'm in France the best thing I can get in Mucky D's is beer :P
try a breakfast wrap so good
docthebiker that's the best part of it for me lmao
I am just going to take a moment to step back and ask myself why I am watching a video about a breakfast sandwich maker when I have a pile of papers to do
+Alexander Shu I'm in my final year of masters now. I just accepted these things happen, and don't wonder why anymore these days. The way she goes
+Alexander Shu perhaps it's an indicator of how little you want to do the papers like the saying, reading the writing on cornflakes packet indicates bordom
+MethewsEmbeddedSystems I discovered and got addicted to many, many youtube channels while procrastinating during my Master's degree. Now I am broke and unemployed with a useless degree and a ton of debt-- but at least I can still enjoy these channels I found. That's what really matters.
I have to finish a whole roll of film by tomorrow morning, it's night
I've just taken a moment to step back and ask myself why I'm replying to a year-old comment on a four year-old CZcams video about a breakfast sandwich maker. Unlike you a year ago though, I have absolutely nothing to do.
"And then an english muffin. Or as we call them in England, a 'muffin' " 😁😁😁
Too bad he doesn't speak AMERICAN ENGLISH, or as we say in USA.. English.
Speaking BRIT must hurt the mouth?
Do the Scots and Welsh call it an "English" muffin?
S H why must it hurt the mouth?
It reminds me of that "Simpsons" episode when they travel down to Brazil, and Homer asks one of the locals if he can get some "Brazil Nuts", to which the man replies, "Yes you can, but here we just call them Nuts."!
Peter Huang No Just called a muffin or called a breakfast muffin
No sense of taste? Did this happen after a head impact incident? Keep in mind that we do have square sausage (lorne sausage) in parts of the UK. Or you could make a cheese, black pudding and egg McMuffinish.
You heard step up and clicked
A sinus issue, he answered in another comment. Sorry for being 6 years late hahaha
Hello big Clive, strange to see your comment from years ago on another tech channel I watch.
You can tell he has no sense of taste by some of the shirts he wears, ;-)
Mine been in cupboard for 6 years 😂😂😂
Mackie's bout mile away but Neva go that way 😂
"Non sticking coating" *egg got stuck on the sides*
lol, this is s silly device. just use a griddle and an egg ring. simple.
+leon vdd I have an off-brand version of this (aldi sells them under a different name) and the instructions for that one say to spray the inside with cooking oil before using. it makes the egg slip out muuuuch easier.
leon vdd Well, I don't believe it is nonstick. The instructions for mine call for a coating of nonstick spray.
I have one of these. The hot plates at the top and the bottom must have some kind of really good non-stick coating, because nothing ever sticks to them.
The rings .... not so much.
Brits can't read or speak ENGLISH! Its simple to step DOWN voltage from 240vac to 120vac. He doesn't know what he is talklng about.
I’ve made probably about 100 or so breakfast sandwiches using this machine, I love it, a cup of coffee and this thing, perfect breakfast!
"...They must know what they are doing," sound like famous last words.
Kinda like, "trust me, I am a professional."
This a great channel. A Technology channel that ISN'T just about about computers.
I keep rewatching this video everytime I see it in my home page and I don't know why
So in England an English muffin is just a muffin. Fascinating
Clever Brunozoid I wonder what they call regular muffins, like choc chip muffins for example.
LolToalNoobs Well, through context its easy. Its not that common to mix the two, one's a fairly uncommon bread, one's a cake.
Clever Brunozoid and, most people say "english muffin" for the savoury bread. We also call a typical fried breakfast a "full english".
"English Muffin" is an Amish term, and anyone familiar with the Amish knows exactly what it means.
dirty muffin?
wait, this isn't ashens.
My thought was exacly.
Nope, of course not! There's no couch and no one said "tat"
This guy was shown rarely in The 8-Bit Guy as a guest host
One of the last places I would expect to hear reference of someone like Ashens, well played good sir
Hello!
The UK versions are trying to push these as burger makers, which is silly as you still need to precook the burger :S
I guess the people too lazy to just make a burger by heating the buns in a toaster and frying the meat will be using pre-cooked patties from the freezer section?
The best way to toast the bun (imo) is to do it on the same surface you're using to cook the burger. Toasters make the bun too dry for my tastes, but a quick heating on the skillet gets you a crispy outside and a soft inside.
Larry really does come up everywhere.
Precooked patties are available at the grocer.
@@johncoops6897 one word, John. Rustlers.
guy just dropped "I lost my sense of taste" and just went on
😂💀
😂😂 init, no elaboration at all
I am sorry for your loss of taste. May I ask how that happened?
+MarvelDcImage it just disappeared just to sinus issues.
That's kind of a cruel blessing in disguise
+Techmoan Have you noticed your eating habits change because of that? I can imagine you'd just focus on eating what's healthy for you rather than what used to taste good.
I remember being really sick to the point where I couldn't taste my food. It didn't bother me that much because I could still smell it
+Techmoan I hate it when it happens with a bad head cold but at least it's only 1 or 2 days of no taste/smell
6:21 wait, what?
I know right, just noticed
I always thought he sounded nasally, but I thought it was a regional thing. I guess he does have nasal related problems.
I know, poor bloke :(
I just thought he was a Yorkshireman.
Brother had one of these in college (actually a double sandwich maker)
Even if you can’t get your hands on a precook sausage you can always cook up a batch of sausage patties and have then in a container in the fridge.
This doesn’t toast your muffins but what you can do is run just the muffins cut side down in each compartment (buttering the cut sides ever so slightly) than setting things up.
If you don’t want your egg to soak into your top muffin cook without the top half of the muffin , just remember to break the yoke. I worked at McDonald’s in high school and halfway through the cook cycle you had to pop each yolk with a spatula so that it hard cooks.
And even though it says non stick, it does hurt to give it a light coat with some cooking oil and that eg will slide right down
UK mains versions of these are available via the Sadovision shopping channels that one finds at the higher (numerically speaking) channels on digital TV platforms, for those whom have lost not only their sense of taste, but also their human pride and will to live.
Could also be used on those ghastly Rustler's precooked burgers in buns. Would only take twice as long as using the microwave.
Apologies if it looks like I'm ignoring the questions - but I covered the lack of taste issue earlier ...just scroll down a bit. Also this video was just a bit of fun - reviewing something different for a change. I can take or leave McDonalds breakfasts,I do think that they are the best thing on their menu (in the UK), but that said, I only eat perhaps five a year, so I'm not exactly obsessed with them. Thanks for the tips on how to use this, but it's pretty unlikely that I'll be using it again.
I bought one of these in December 2017. I found that using a spritz of cooking spray (like PAM in the US) on all the surfaces makes things slide easier. I also found that 4-minutes is plenty. Also, when I crack the egg into the cavity, I break-up the yoke a bit. All in all, I'm happy with it.
By the way, I bought it after seeing your video. As soon as the video finished, I ordered one from Amazon... :-)
I bought one of these cheap at a thrift store and it works wonderfully.
Personally I scramble my egg before I put it in, but to each their own. And you can switch the meat and cheese around if you like.
Not a problem, that's what I'm here for. Things often look a lot less enticing when you actually see them being used.
Thanks Capt. Dave......at least I've still got my sense of humour.
You get these things as gifts and then you try them once and never use them again.
I guessing there are 2 heating elements, 1 in top, 1 in bottom wired in parallel 110VAC, You could wired them in series for 220VAC.
That's the plan. I originally tried to review a US coffee machine last year and got a cheap up converter....it all went up in a puff of smoke and got binned without ever making a single cup of coffee.
Good news then - I've got one more kitchen gadget review to edit together. I wanted to see how well this went down before starting on it.
Not something I've come across. But IOS 7 has better support for controller, so I'm sure that more options will appear soon after it gets released.
I remember these, the shelf next to them always had the motorcycle ash trays.
I did buy a device like that the other year and plugged an imported Hamilton Beach Single Serve coffee machine into it and it went pop. I didn't want to risk a similar result with this. I may try it again sometime though.
Sausage and Egg McMuffin is definitely great. I've tried the similar breakfast sandwiches at a lot of fast food places in Canada, like Tim Horton's, A&W etc and I still like McD's the most, though Tim Horton's is decent and has good hashbrowns too. I used to think that if I worked closer to a McDonald's I'd like to have one every day for breakfast, but I thank my arteries that I didn't. Also, don't know if you know or care, but I find that breaking an egg on a flat surface like a counter top is a lot less messy and you often get a better break - bits of shell and goo seemed to fly everywhere when I used to use the edge of a dish, but with the flat surface, the halves can usually be pulled apart intact.
True about a better break on a flat surface. Also you have to hit that sweet spot, and it's not the exact middle of the egg, it's a bit higher up than that. So satisfying when you get a clean break with no shell bits!
Mate, I will say I truly enjoy your posts/reviews! Very informative, easy to follow, good humor added and coupled with your northern UK accent, all fantastic! If you're not a professional radio or voice over actor, ya should be! Cheers and "keep'em coming!"
It's amazing how much your voice has changed in 7 years! Or the audio equipment is capturing you much better now haha
A tip for the dedicated UK Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker fans ....... In the chilled section of supermarkets Aldi and Lidl you may find a magnificent German cooked pork pattie product called "frikadellen" ( 5 for about £1.90 or $ 1.20).
The little pork beauties are delicious, even if microwaved for a minute, each, with some cheese (and then thrown, haphazardly, onto a toasted muffin with a fried egg) - The big snag, however, is that the frikadellen is about twice the depth of the patties showing out here - so you may have to source the "Hamilton Beach frikadellen slicing- in- two time saving device", in order to make the grade! - You can usually find it in stores, next to the "Ronco remove your underwear from the crack of your bottom rotating probe" ($49.99 + tax).
I'm not sure where to find "non-stick eggs" tho' :))
+truthtrumpsdumbness A useful and funny comment on youtube, this may be a first!
aKunacme
You are most gracious - and I agree , we really should try for more humo(u)r on here - keep smiling :))
Funniest CZcams comment ever!
they sell pre cooked patties in the US, that would fit that model perfectly, as well as round cheese. Sargento makes a lovely line of round pieces of cheese, probably for that type of machine. i buy the round provolone slices for Steak and cheese sammiches.
Yeah, precooked patties are sold in the US, but we don't particularly like them. They hardly sell, but something like this makes them more attractive.
The thing about the precooked sausage is, people are becoming more paranoid of ingredients in things, and it being precooked makes it worse. Most precooked meats have an 'off' taste that suggests it is indeed more than meat and spices.
Well I hear they are looking for a new Dr Who... (it's a choice between that or cooking or dancing shows, and I can't do either).
Just trying something a bit different. No need to worry though, I've been out on the bike testing two new cams today.
Well as an American viewer, I definitely want to try this out after seeing how simple it was to make. I appreciate you taking the time to do so, as well as the shocking information that the power supplies between the US and UK were so different. It's never been something I ever thought about. I just figured it was the same throughout the world to be honest.
Yeah about that… the US and Canada are the only ones doing 120V. The rest of the world does 240V. The rest of the world also has a safer power system. I recommend the US Power System Video by Technology connections.
Yes...and I later regretted setting the place on fire in the first place. ;-)
I managed to get a good price for the orphans, so it's not all bad news.
Flippin Eck! Brilliant! Your irony and humor flies way above 99% of all CZcams commenters
I have the double muffin version in US. It helps with cleanup if you apply a light coating of cooking oil to the non-stick surfaces. Now I can cook breakfast without my cats attacking my food.
I'll probably get the double one--with an on/off switch!--when ours conks out. I won ours--a red one--at a church raffle last year. Husband loves it, especially since I make the sandwiches for him every morning. I watched a few videos on this gadget when I first got it, and it seemed everyone had their own special technique for making their sandwiches with it. After a while, I had it down pat the way we like it. I like to use a beaten egg, and put the cheese in just before the upper sandwich drops down to the bottom at the end. Otherwise the cheese makes too much of a melty mess! Also, you don't necessarily have to use a sausage patty; 3-4 sausage links cut lengthwise work quite well. Only thing I noticed is that the excellent nonstick coating gets less effective over time. And if you had to make more than 2 sandwiches, it takes longer for the 3rd and so on egg to cook properly... I'll own that his has been wordy, but I am a recent fan of TM, and I am just amazed that he did a review on this gadget! :)
Or get rid of the cats.
or train the cats
Or turn the cats into pre-cooked sausage patties.
I hear cat is pretty oily when cooking, should help with the non-stickiness on the wok
I bought one of these in the end a few months ago, after resisting the temptation for a very long time. And it's actually very good!
I got this as a birthday present and it's actually useful if you really love breakfast sandwiches and have to make them really fast in the morning
I used a sausage I'd cooked earlier, it hadn't been frozen.
Quite a person question so please don't reply if I shouldn't ask but; What happened to your sense of taste? you've mentioned problems with your ears too in other videos. Should we, your audience, be concerned? All the best and thank you for all your great videos!
+James Badger It just went - that's it. Could happen to anyone.
Techmoan That sucks but at least it is not your health :) I had no idea that was a thing! Thank you for the reply.
Ya know, Dewy Cox once lost his sense of smell!
Techmoan-Loosing your sense of taste much be terrible. I'm sorry to hear.
I could watch you review stuff all day. You brits are always soo thorough with your reviews.
Now that's actully not a bad idea. I used to enjoy Black pudding every now and then.
Raw egg on bread is gross... Well how the heck do you think French Toast is made!! O_o
It's not very common over here.
+George Jordan It isn't? I didn't know that O_o. It is very common here in America and sooo yummy :-)
JasonBrazen Nope, it's one of the those stereotypical American foodstuffs that just never made it over.
+George Jordan They've been made in continental Europe since medieval times (earliest known recipes are from 4th and 5th century). So it's not really American thing as such, but they have adopted it with great enthusiasm.
tylisirn Yeah, that's kinda irrelevant
Thanks for the upload! I just got one of these for my birthday and had no idea how to work it. Naturally, I threw out the instructions ;)
Throw it all away
I watched this video almost 10 years after it's been released and bought one. Hope you still get commission!!
I guess it's just a heater with a thermal cutoff, so a simpler approach to halving the voltage (e.g. diode divider) might work?
i didnt lose my sense of taste but once i had the flu and it was weird like my tounge got re-wired spicy things tasted sweet and sweet things tasted salty and weirdest of all bread tasted like milk lol but once i had recovered from the flu my taste was back to normal it was a strange experiens also i was at a local militairy prooving ground and they had a bunch of scrap tanks to fire at for target practice (i was there delivering parts and was curious and watching them) they were taking some tanks away that had been hit already to part them out and they had one that had just recently been hit with a H.E.A.T. shell and the metal had been like vaporized and you could taste like a weird metalic taste in the air didnt bother me i was only near it for like a minuite to look at it but heard later from one of the mechanics that were taking the thing apart that all he could taste was metal for a month.
Punctuation is a wonderful thing. My eyes are winded from reading that...
Still... lends a different meaning the term "metal mouth".
Partially due to your sense of smell being affected from flu. Some flu medications can effect your sense of taste. Zicam is one of them
Are they going for some kind of dorm room appeal for this thing?
Mike Like 100%. Just like electric brownie maker and electric grilled cheese maker (it even cuts the sandwich diagonally for you)
I always spray egg compartment with Pam so it doesn’t stick. Then when it’s done I slide egg down the open middle part to push down and then open bottom to get it out. Flawless everytime.
Wow was actually wanting to buy one of these but this review made me rethink that
you forgot to put cooking spray and after the egg is cooked you need to put the English muffin
You do put the cooking spray on, but you are supposed to put the muffin in before the egg is cooked
I honestly feel so bad that you can't taste. I guess we all take things for granted.
Great review, I would love to see more of videos like this.
I've covered it a few times in the comments now - scroll down a bit for more info.
Sal Manilla? I went to school with Sal! An odd chap, he was.
Damn no sense of taste? That's got to be bad. Although I'm sure you're used to it now. Must be in great shape since you can eat all the bad tasting healthy food :D
Md Device I'm guessing you think all we eat is haggis, spag bol and mushy peas all day, everyday, right?
No of course not only scottish people eat haggis all day every day 😁
WallyWinka
Lmao
@ロボット鳥山 bs
I would imagine that it makes diets easier since foods can't tempt you.
"An English muffin, or as we call them in England, a muffin." I laughed so hard when he said that .
"It Doesnt Look that Bad" It's in every video Love it
No pre-cooked meats? Step-Up/Step-Down converters? Screw that!
I'd rather just get one from McDonald's!
Hell yeah!
Only pre-cooked meats
Losing your sense of taste/small is an early warning sign of Parkinson's. See your doctor.
I’ve had three operations dozens of appointments and constant medication for years.
Glad to hear it! I'm sorta in the same boat with "Dystonia" and didn't know the warning sighs for years.
Techmoan well sorry that you lost your sense of taste.
Charlie Mopps rather might be than is an early warning sign
Shame about your lost sense of taste, but at least you're managing things well enough. You're one of the quirkier and funny tech-and-device review youtubers out there.. along with LGR (Video Games and Tech) and 8BitKeys (Music Keyboards and Retro devices)
I like that, the egg got stuck to the non-stick, says it all really. You can't beat a good greasy spoon or the roadside equivalent.
For stuff like that (basically a heater that doesn't rely on the frequency from the mains) you can put a diode in serie with the power lead and cut the voltage in half. No power converter needed.
HOW DID I GET HERE FROM WATCHING MOTORCYCLE CRASH VIDEO!?!?!
+Galactic Weasel The wonders of youtube coupled with procrastination!
+Galactic Weasel WHY CAN I NOT STOP WATCHING....
Just the screwed up way CZcams recommendations work as some pay to get their videos to the top of the list then you forever get recommendations linked to something you have no interest in.
I mean I choose to watch Techmoan but do get some ridiculous recommendations like fish surgery.
+GalacticWeasel Gaming Because CZcams knows that food can calm you down.
+GalacticWeasel Gaming Well, there is some connection between Techmoan and motorcycles as he reviews plenty of helmet cams, so I'm guessing that somehow influences yt algorithm as people into motorcycles probably tend to watch both.
Nobody here sells precooked sausage patties for the simple reason that no-one wants them.
@@freshstartfitness8875 damn chill, you're so angry please relax.
You can get frozen or fresh one's though
I love your videos but I laughed almost of my chair when you said you have no sense of taste! So funny!! Made my day! Keep up the excellent work!!!
Saw the video about an hour ago. Thought to myself, I need it. And now I have it.
what is the mainvoltage in the uk i tought 127 volts here in the netherlands 230 volts
+dannyjaar it was officially 240v in the UK, but more common nowadays is for devices to state 230v +10%/-6%
"Or as we call them in England: muffins; sassy- yes! Ya' snuck that little zinger in there!
Here's another, the heavily processed squared "cheese"? American Cheese.-no wonder the French are jealous- or why they hate us, I can never keep it straight.
Compulsor we still call it American cheese, and it usually comes in a packet with each slice separated by plastic to stop it all fusing together in one mass of goo... It's the one cheese I can't eat, ever, the texture makes me want to vomit
Hate on them americans! Any updates now England has become a Muslim country? Got to be some lovely spicy, goat milk, recepies? Thanks for posting this video.
I have this is I got it from Amazon it comes with a UK 3 pin plug and I haven't stopped using it may I point out that you are supposed to prick the egg first before you close the lid
I use a Samson GoMic at the moment.
I have managed to live for nearly 61 years, without eating anything from McDonalds. After watching this hilarious video, I suspect that I will live the rest of my life in the same vein.
McDonald's Corporation manages to survive without your patronage, somehow....
I know some nuns/clergymen that have gone 61 years without ever having sex with another person. I feel the same level of sympathy for you. Screw the space shuttle or the polio vaccine, the McGriddle is mankind's crowning achievement and shall forever be preserved in the annals of history.
It's ironic that your name sounds like something they might serve there. They have good fries
Lack of experience is something to be proud of? Ok
There is a little rule of thumb I use: If a kitchen device is created for one single purpose only, it's a useless kitchen device.
+Sheepy007 like a fridge?
+Techmoan not a gimmick
So I should throw out my blender and all of my can-openers?
Does your fridge only make milk cold? Or lots of things?
Does your blender only blend smoothies, or lots of things?
Do your can-openers all open different types of cans? You probably only need one, Wally
My blender only blends,
My can openers only open cans,
They are "kitchen devices created for one single purpose", as the original comment said.
I said nothing about a fridge, try to keep up.
Thanks for that, I'll have a listen.
I lived in England for a couple years and absolutely missed bacon egg and cheese biscuits from McDonald's. I set on a mission to reproduce, making American style biscuits from scratch. Finding the yellow melty American cheese slices was a challenge, but eventually nailed it.
seems like so many kitchen gadgets - it makes your chimp brain go "ooh ooh exciting must buy one!" but then you get it home and use it and your sensible brain concludes "this is a major pain to use/clean/etc - yet another waste of money chimp brain fail."
No precooked sausage. . . that's sad.
Ha ha ha ! The requirement for the step-up and step-down converter reminds me of one of my favourite English words ....NO! , not "gusset" ...."PALAVER"! fantastic presentation
because thats got 2 elements (one top, one bottom) , it would be possible to re-wire the elements in series to make it usable on 220-240 volts.
+voltare2amstereo If you want one in the UK now it's on offer (02 March 16) for under £14. amzn.to/1TQa9gc
600w?? Jesus
Tularis 600W isn't that much for a home appliance, my shower is 9kW, my PC has a 700W power supply, my bass amp has a 100W RMS rating and my kettle is 3kW
KETTLES whent out in the late 60's
Dylan Collins 3kw kettle!? You mustn't live in north America unless you got that thing hooked up to a double phase outlet!
@Zayd Abbas
2kw kettles are pretty normal in Europe. How else do you heat your water? Don`t tell me you microwave it.
Bullshitvol2 I’ve always microwaved water to boil it. If I’m cooking, I use a pan on the stove. Being an American, I’ve never heard of having a kettle to boil water until I started watching British youtubers. I guess it doesn’t make sense to have a dedicated device for boiling water when a microwave can do the same thing.
I have no sense of taste! lol classic!
I think he was being serious
he is
He doesn‘t
He was not joking .. I wonder if he still has that medical problem
Thats horrible
No it's not a joke. I can sense that something is sweet or sour or savoury, but couldn't tell you what it was with my eyes closed. A banana tastes this same as an apple...steak, chicken or salmon all taste the same etc. It's not much fun.
I live in the US and I am thinking of getting one of these for my dorm room. Great review and I can't wait to try one of these and not have to worry about McDonalds breakfast times (Which change frequently depending on where you live in the US)
This machine sounds useless. I mean, come on! How hard is it to make a breakfast sandwich by just cooking each ingredient and put it together!?
less dishes to wash ?
I dunno, I wouldn’t say it’s useless. Maybe useless in a full kitchen but I’m sort of interested in it for my shop. Instead of stopping for breakfast on my way in I could make a sandwich once I get in. Doesn’t look like it takes up much space and seems like it would be easy enough to clean.
you could cook the egg and sausage in one pan, cheese will melt on top of a hot sausage, additionally this looks harder to clean than a pan
It's for people who want perfectly round eggs. And everything heats up at same time.
It probably is useless, but he doesn't review everything because it's convenient. Sometimes just trying a new piece of tech is the thing.
Why can't you sense taste
Robbie Edward's MASSIVE business SayersTMt not really because he wasn't the one to bring it up
Using my double maker now...for several years. Buy this thing. It’s a gadget that actually works really well.
I've got one of these an I actually quite like it. I have to get up at 0300 in the morning and start work not too much later do I find this very useful.
sorry if this has been asked before....but why do you not have a sense of taste? Not trying to be rude or anything but I'm genuinely curious
+Maria Ferguson I see this hasn't been answered. There could be many reasons, but I believe the main cause tends to be influenza. I had a bad flu in the 1970s and lost my sense of smell (and therefore taste) for about six months. I was lucky, because it came back, but ever since then there is a group of flowers whose perfume is very fragrant to others, but to me smells like a blocked drain.
Lang Jones so now it's hiposmia :) that's very interesting but also I'm very sorry for that!
i lost my sense of taste from medications, after i broke my spine. nothing tastes good anymore.
A guy I used to work with was involved in a bad motorcycle accident. He suffered a severe head injury, from which he recovered but never regained his sense of taste or smell.
it is always fun when you review something unexpected :D
Thanks for the video, once again very entertaining
Thanks for the video. Just picked one up at a rummage sale. I would suggest breaking the yoke (sorry if already posted) and stirring it a bit so that the top muffin lays evenly.
Most people think you can't cook meat on this but the truth is the heating plate is like a little skillet. It's hot enough to cook a couple half slices of bacon or a sausage patty.
I lay the slices on the bottom plate, flip, toast the muffin in the toaster, remove bacon, cook egg and cheese in the middle, and then I add the bottom muffin as recommended to drop the egg on top.
Americans love you TechMoan! Keep up the awesomeness.
Old or not, you always seem to do a great job with your videos
omg i used to have this and i used to love it
I don’t know if you are still using this device, but I’ve had one for the past year and learned some tricks to it.
1. Use butter! A thin sliver on the bottom, then on top of the bottom muffin half another sliver, ingredients (I highly recommend ham, that should solve your precook meats problem) then before cracking your egg, a thin sliver, then top off with the other half of the muffin, and as this makes both muffins crispy, a thin sliver on top.
