I haven't done that, but I've set the wrong channel or time (AM/PM)... Then when I watch the show, it's like "WTF is this crap????" :hehe: :inlove:

I forgot to change the channel on the cable box once. Instead of HBO, I ended up recording some informercials....2 hours worth. :doh:

:lol: :lol: Were they good infomercials at least, like those Time-Life music collections? I'm surprised I haven't bought any of those yet: I seem to always sit through those informercials. :beaten:

Or were they for knives or vacuums, or portable barbeque grills? :bleh:

OT: the Ronco rotisserie (sp) works pretty good.

Yeah, but they never show or tell you if it's easy to clean or not. :sweat:

Hmm, I think there was a Ronco rotisserie, some cash flow thing or real estate...., the Video Professor, among them.

it's not hard, if you clean it relatively soon after you use it... once it's dried and caked on... well.. get out the sandblaster.

It'd be nice if you could remove some of the panels so you could wash 'em in the sink or the dishwasher. :)

true that. oh well.

Sorry 'bout that. I was thinkin' like a dweeb again. :sweat:

The same could be said with the early George Foreman grills. I rarely used it in my apartment in college because I was (am) too lazy to check that thing. A wet paper towel?...Yeah right. :shakehead:

Maybe it's not wet with water... Simple Green? Bronzo? :hehe:

my mom just got the Foreman grill, and i was like...

WHAT?????? WHY!!?!?!

she said her friend had one, and it was easier than using the propane grill outside.
So yeah, she used it twice, and it's now in the closet.

I use mine from time to time, but it's a PITA to clean. I don't think they did their focus groups. Either that or the people who tested it were morons.

And that is why you would never find one used on Dotch Cooking. It would be embarassing.

It isn't bad, what i dont like is how you have to have the same thickness food. the thick ones get charred, and the thinner ones are still raw.

or maybe im an idiot.

Nope that's exactly how it comes out.

That sounds about right. ;)

yeah... i'd rather scrape the charcoal grill with a brush than use that Foreman grill.

yeah, that foreman grill, cooked wonders.....easy to use, even for me. I cooked salmon, steak, polish sausages, and chicken on it, but to clean the grill was a pain. :hehe:

It really needs to be designed better, the handle is in the wrong place, everytime i lift the top off, the steam follows the top and my hand gets hit with a blast of hot steam. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

yeah, and to use and cook it, is ok, convenience, but the cleaning part is a pain the arse.

but i got my for $10 at fry's so that atleast was a good buy.
