What the heck, I needed to buy something anyway to change my CC number. I guess if it can help me make a few decent sausage & egg biscuits for breakfast, it will pay for itself.
You should get Xzibit as the celebrity spokesperson. Yo dawg, I heard you like grillin and counter culture. Well now you'll be chillin and grillin on the Xzibit Xpress Platinum Countertop Cooker.
Bought mine when it first came out on the tube.. Had I known Meh would have offered it three years later for a Hamilton, I would have waited.. MY BAD!!
@connorbush ... Good for one, maybe a couple but on occasion otherwise it's no different than hitting fast food every day. You can experiment with many different foods but bottom line they all come out the same way. I like it because it saves time and once you perfect how to actually prepare and cook it can be enjoyable but again not on a daily basis unless your used to just munching on poptarts then it becomes a treat. Someone said it has no timer and that's basically true but following the books recipes will be just as accurate in the final product. I would think it a bargain for college students but a family of three or more, just use it on special occasions because it's made for no more than two, any more and something is going to be cold once the eating starts.
If this had adjustable temperature controls, I'd be grabbing several for gifts. That's the one key function that takes these grillthings from eh(not even worth a full meh) to ooh!
Not sure if I want this or not, and as the reference to the Krups Coffeemaker, (btw bought 2), I did smell plastic when I opened it, as well as when I brewed the water through, but this Morning when I woke up, I SMELLED COFFEE!!!!!!!!! Awesome Sauce!!! My Mr Coffee was nigh unto impossible to set program.. Go Figure, I am a Nurse, and not stupid, but it was mentioned frequently when I googled.. Anyhoo..Trying to talk myself out of pulling the trigger on this badboy..
@mick Well, yes. But in the summer I prefer to cook out on the back porch where the heat can waft away. It got a bit tiring having to drag the kitchen stove to the back porch, so this might be a bit easier on my old back.
@mossygreen I found the image on Pinterest, and became fascinated by her work. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I haven't found any current exhibitions, but my search started with some yarnbombers in Jacksonville, FL. She lives in Moscow; https://www.facebook.com/yulia.ustinova.3
likely-meaty-magician brought up some REALLY odd images. This was one of the safer ones. Suckered in for three. Merry Christmas, extended family members!
OK Grabbed two of these one for me one for a friend, steal at this price , and just for the record the 2 Krups coffee makers are AWESOME, and look great on my counter ty very much MEH love everything i bought from your sight so far and feel like i stole them ....
@mellowirishgent tell your friend to come to the site and buy their own stuff and then to tell their friends about the site and buy their own stuff and then those friends need to tell their friends...
@shawn Nope- I won't not neither nohow because: 1) I get friendship points for buying cool stuff for my friends, and B) This way only a VMP fee per month gets wasted [on the "Meh"- merch days]. My friends and family come and look, and then I buy for them... Unless there's too restrictive a limit... Now. if you'd let us share a VMP otherwise that could change.....
@PhysAssist Shippooling, as I call it. I do it more often at another site with my coworkers; it also helps assure that the odds of 3 of us wearing the same shirt on the same day is very slim.
Devious-marketable-bait sums up pretty much every purchase I've ever made from Meh. This cooker looks like it'll be a great wedding present for that co-worker who you don't know SUPER well, but that invites you to their wedding anyway, so you don't want to spend too much on the gift, but you also don't want to LOOK like you didn't spend too much on the gift. In summation... Meh hits the sweet spot!
This thing is perfect to both justify the VMP and add a bit of dramatic elan to the marriage. Wife commented on someone's Cuisinart panini maker 3 months ago; I bring home this. No, it's not the same. It's better because it's worse! Just like when you picked me, honey.
How do you "grill" anything on this?The George Foreman has raised ridges so fat can drain away. This looks like it's just a frying pan. The manual and recipes didn't help. Can somebody advise?
I'm in for one. We are going to be redoing our kitchen and be without a stove at some point this summer. Even if it is used for just 2 or 3 weeks it will be worth it. Then it will be packed away and forgotten like the fajita grill I purchased from Woot nearly 10 years ago.
Got my life-changing Platinum Express this afternoon. Lack of manual leads to a journey of self-discovery. Today's meh aha: determining that you have to simultaneously press the Min and Start/Stop buttons on the timer to reset it. Tomorrow's challenge: ascertaining actual functionality, if any, of Sec button on timer.

No name Meh
First to buy. For $10, it's worth one try when things aren't cooking fast enough in a pinch
@brandon I do believe that I was the first
@fantom2993 You dishonor my family with these claims. There is no alternative but to duel, or call upon the Meh High Courts to rule on the matter!
@brandon Good sir, I challenge you to pistols at noon-ish!
Shark soup!
@ruouttaurmind Considering Hank Harlin's comedy career, I wonder if he tastes meaty-yolker.
Aren't those non-stick surfaces illegal starting 2016?
@saodell Reference please.
Fantasy football trophies?
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
@jrwofuga No Georgia Foreman. For that alone, meh.
@jrwofuga Stop being so picky and just settle for one out of two. You have 1) Georgia and 2) plenty of Red states.... See? Problem solved LOL
Is that Hank in there???? NOOOOOO

Did Meh get toasted or what? The main page is so dark I can barely read the text.
@OldCatLady I just lightened up the background. Now you have to go back and read it.
@Kylethephotoguy Much better, thanks. Never think we don't read what you guys say, even if it's a little eccentric. Okay, a lot eccentric.
@Kylethephotoguy Not really
Meh. Might be useful if I was single with no kids. Even then this thing looks ready to break on the 2nd or 3rd use...
@marvelljones It is actually very solid.
@marvelljones Oh god I love being single. Oh, did I just believe in god for a few seconds, whoops...
You Meh blurb writers are slipping. A celebrity endorser named "colon," a food-related product, and no bowel-related joke?
Disappointed in Denver
@dcc1079 I think Saturday is "bring your own joke" day at Meh.
Ok you got me dont need it but like it and will find a use and by the way the Krups coffee maker is AWESOME TY MEH..
@mellowirishgent Love the coffee maker! Best 10 buck purchase this year!
What the heck, I needed to buy something anyway to change my CC number. I guess if it can help me make a few decent sausage & egg biscuits for breakfast, it will pay for itself.

@unkabob very thorough thank you
Bartolo Colon: funniest description ever.

tainted brunette hammer??
@Pufferfishy JFC I need to just start going to bed earlier. Why did I need this? I can't even blame this on liquor or weed.
@Pufferfishy I sort of liked the text [web search] result better. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=taint+hammer
@PhysAssist BWAHAHAHAHA! no
@Pufferfishy I wasn't espousing the idea, but it was a new thing I'd never heard of before... I mean shocker, OK, but taint hammer- I agree is a NOT!
@Pufferfishy cocaine or OxyContin?
@PhysAssist I don't think I would've laughed if not for their use of the word 'pummel'.
This is all I can think of right now.
Not sure if I want this or not, and as the reference to the Krups Coffeemaker, (btw bought 2), I did smell plastic when I opened it, as well as when I brewed the water through, but this Morning when I woke up, I SMELLED COFFEE!!!!!!!!!

@PocketBrain That's a neat site.
@PocketBrain
This is awesome for those kids headed off to college in the fall.
@mommacomet An upgrade to the hotplate!
Better off with a frying pan, on a stove, you know a stove, like a real stove, made to cook food on. Good Lord.
@mick Well, yes. But in the summer I prefer to cook out on the back porch where the heat can waft away. It got a bit tiring having to drag the kitchen stove to the back porch, so this might be a bit easier on my old back.
The dark orange page is hard to read..not even worth a meh.
Grill looks interesting, but so does porn at first.
@Tadlem43 Now with lighter background. And you can hide your pot in it.
This looks like one of those $10 portable CD players that are still being made in a Chinese factory somewhere.
The infomercial product w/o the infomercial tactics seems more appealing.
The price helps too: formidable-versed-lilac
Now that I can see it, I guess I want it, or something. pale-formidable-shake
@OldCatLady I must go to this art exhibit. From where is this image?

@narfcake But if you buy a really really big shirt, you could theoretically...
@PhysAssist TeeTurtle doesn't offer 6XL, so that idea is out.
@shawn FIRST MIND YOUR BIZZZNAZZ SECOND ITS A GIFT ..
@narfcake Understood! Say no more.

@curtw4 It is not for hamburgers. It is for eggs, baked goods, things inside tortillas... No hamburgers or steaks
@Pamtha Thanks. I guess the "grill" part is just marketing-speak then. In that case, Meh for me.
I'm in for one. We are going to be redoing our kitchen and be without a stove at some point this summer. Even if it is used for just 2 or 3 weeks it will be worth it. Then it will be packed away and forgotten like the fajita grill I purchased from Woot nearly 10 years ago.
where is my 10 dollar waffle iron?
Wedding gifts! (Yup, I'm cheap) In for three.

The Goblin king is the law of the goblin world. That's the legal part.
@Mehrocco_Mole as someone that is going to have a wedding sometime soon, I would be very, very disappointed by this gift.
i'm seriously debating another buy right now..

@lehigh Alas my voyage of self-discovery has terminated prematurely; one week in and the battery is dead.
What a POS.... It's flimsy and CHEAP.... Not worth the 10 bucks...
