Cook, in 7 minutes or less

August 1st, 2009

I put Elliot down for his nap, while Siena turned on the tv and picked out a movie to watch. I went downstairs to find Siena watching an informercial. And scene:

Matt: Ready, sweety? What movie did you choose?
Siena: Daddy, this thing is amazing. The Redi-Set-Go can make anything.
Matt: I’ve watched some of this before. Looks like it makes cooking easy, doesn’t it?
Siena: Yeah. Maybe I could do it, if it wasn’t hot. It can make any pizza…and it can make a chocolate thing with bars of other chocolate stuffed inside of it.
Matt: So it’s chocolate stuffed chocolate?
Siena: And I saw them making a chicken that you could eat.

We watched another five minutes of the infomercial, as they showed this little device making upside-down pineapple cake, steak with mushrooms and wine reduction, pancake balls, not-fried fried chicken, an omelette, and more. If we would have called in the next 18 minutes they would have taken one payment off and given us an extra cooking insert. Almost had us, but we watched Madeline, instead, satisfied with the two microwaves we already own.
