Trying out a Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker in the UK (2013 Video - Old Info) 

Just wondering, has this changed at all in the past 9 years or is it a similar situation today?

+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

+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 RU-vid video about a breakfast sandwich maker. Unlike you a year ago though, I have absolutely nothing to do.

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 😂

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.

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

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.

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?

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!

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.

😂💀

😂😂 init, no elaboration at all

Could also be used on those ghastly Rustler's precooked burgers in buns. Would only take twice as long as using the microwave.

+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

Flippin Eck! Brilliant! Your irony and humor flies way above 99% of all RU-vid commenters

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.

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!

+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.

+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 RU-vid 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.

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

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

Throw it all away

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

Mike Like 100%. Just like electric brownie maker and electric grilled cheese maker (it even cuts the sandwich diagonally for you)

You do put the cooking spray on, but you are supposed to put the muffin in before the egg is cooked

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.

I'd rather just get one from McDonald's!

Hell yeah!

Only pre-cooked meats

@@freshstartfitness8875 damn chill, you're so angry please relax.

You can get frozen or fresh one's though

+dannyjaar it was officially 240v in the UK, but more common nowadays is for devices to state 230v +10%/-6%

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)

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.

+Galactic Weasel The wonders of youtube coupled with procrastination!

+Galactic Weasel WHY CAN I NOT STOP WATCHING....

Just the screwed up way RU-vid 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 RU-vid 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.

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

+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.

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.

+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.

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.

Robbie Edward's MASSIVE business SayersTMt not really because he wasn't the one to bring it up

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
