Ok, So normally I really like infomercials ( I used to love the wonder mop when I was a kid, that and the furniture refinishing stuff. I watched that whenever it came on) (Yes, I am prefectly aware that I am weird. First lets have remembrances for the infomercials gone past. The Ron Popeil Food Dehydrator ( I actually borrowed my aunt's, and I was severly disapointed) the Ron Popeil Pasta Maker ( I still really want one) the oven bag thing ( I don't remember what it was called, it was this paper bag with foil in it and it cooked things really ast in the microwave), those crappy sandwich makers that all you need was 2 sliced of white bread and you could make thanksgiving dinner!
So, my mahor beef is that damn new Sonic Blade. Ok, yes, it does seem really great, and can cute fast and what not, but I get so annoyed when they show you why it is better than a normal knife. Like when they try to cut bread or an angel food cake with a chef's knife. HELLO?!?!?! Duh! For soft items like bread, cake, and tomatoes you need to use a serrated knife ( or as my aunt calls it a segregated knife) and gently push down whil eusing a sawing motion. It's that damn simple! Argh! I always I (not an exageration) yell at the tv. Something else that annoyed me were those rocket chop commercials. It has a voice over talking about how hard a food processor is to use, and then shows a woman putting it together.
1. There are about 5 pieces to a food procesor. The base, the bowl, the blade, the cover, and the thingie that goes in the spout thing on the cover. And they pretty much fit together quite nicely. You can also have the other attachment that can grate things which brings me to
2. That stupid lady puts the bowl on, then the blade, then the grating attachment ( which you obviously can NOT use with the blade) and then the top, and then gets all frustrated. I honestly want to bitch slap her!
If this goes over well I will rant tomorrow about those stupid pots with the holes in the top so as to alleviate the need for a strainer.
Well.. I suppose...

I can't believe you mentioned Ron Popeil without mentioning the showtime rotisserie. How could you not mention that you just "set it and forget it?" Ron Popeil: singlehandedly changing the way we work in our kitchen one unnecessary appliance at a time. Oh Ronco!!
My bad. I did totally forget that one.
