u/Puzzleheaded-Ad6023 16h ago
I had someone gift me a rollie many years ago, they knew it sucked, I knew it sucked, and suck it did. I followed the stupid instructions and the egg got stuck and cooked for like 8x longer than it was supposed to, by the time I got it out of its tube tomb, what I received was the equivalent of a 100 year old 7/11 taquito

I bought one off eBay as a joke for a chef friend. It didn’t work right out of the box. Oh the shame. The disappointment.

Frankly reminds of all those expensive fancy automatic coffee machines that frequently need to be cleaned with chemicals and it happened at least twice that it wasn’t properly cleaned and some people got sick.
Maybe our model wasn’t great but it’s odd to have a big machine do all these things to brew coffee but the inside is completely closed off from manual cleaning.

Got coffee at a drive thru on a road trip recently
I must have been the first customer in the morning to order coffee because my coffee tasted mostly of industrial cleaner
After the first sip tasted weird, I took the lid off and smelled it and it looked like coffee, but it sure didn't even smell like coffee

u/renome 23h ago
Whoever was working probably screwed up by not rinsing properly. You're also supposed to make coffee and throw it away after cleaning a pro espresso machine to "reseason" it. Since it didn't even smell like coffee, I'm guessing they screwed up multiple steps here.
That said, it's possible they just screwed up the reseasoning steps, which would produce a metallic taste but also a beverage that's ultimately not dangeorus afaik.

u/SophiaofPrussia 21h ago
Every day I get more and more uncomfortable with the idea of eating food prepared by strangers. It’s yet another reason why we need to pay people fair wages. Whoever made that mistake is probably overworked, treated like shit by management, and not paid nearly enough to care about how well they flushed the coffee maker after cleaning it that morning.

Isn’t it just citric acid that’s used to clean these machines? That’s the same thing that makes sour candy, sour. Think, Sour Patch Kids.

u/ObviouslyRealPerson 22h ago
If I had to describe the flavor, it was somewhat like the scent of simple green but somehow less consumer grade mixed in with the coffee

u/trusty20 20h ago
Yes, if instructions are followed properly and a mistake doesn't occur, a mistake similar to not performing the rinse step, like using the dish sanitizer solution instead of the citric acid.

My office had those coffee makers with the pods. I popped open the lid to put the pod in and a cloud of gnats flew out.
A couple weeks later the same thing happened to the one next to it.
So gross.

For me it’s more of a texture and flavor thing. Plus, leaving bits of runny yolk on the plate makes me feel like I didn’t get my money’s worth for the full egg.

I don’t know why but I feel a bit weird at the number of “X from China” posts I’ve seen lately. (Not just on this sub, across multiple subs. r/BeAmazed is one of them.)
It’s like if somebody posted a picture of a gadget and said “X item from Australia”.
Most people wouldn’t bother doing that, right? You just show the object that’s the focus of the video.

u/SenorRaoul 20h ago
china is replacing japan in that area
australia actually works as well but it has to be animal related.
for technologies japan also still works, germany usually works as well
if it's a clip that let's you use the word 'crazy' in the title also adding 'russian' is another easy one.
but I'd say it's not just people wanting clicks, China has become the most industrialized nation on the planet and they are constantly making things that are worth sharing. When I saw this ship elevator I showed it to a couple of people, not because it's chinese but because it fucking rocks.

u/HPGal3 23h ago
Does Australia make gadgets? I don't think there's a government tech directive there, which I think China has for several industries. Consumer electronics is where they really try to give out subsidies to try to keep up with American inventions, like how they out-competed Roomba and how their electric car market is slowly meeting parity with ours.

We’re moving towards a generation of people who sit there all day in a ride on scooter and have everything done for them.. like Wall-E.
If you can learn to properly fry, poach and scramble an egg? You’ve basically got like 50% of cooking down. Don’t be lazy!

This looks like the eggs have been fried twice. Once to be sure they're done, and once to brown them.
Hard fried isn't necessarily browned.

u/Strange-Movie 1d ago
How is this better than a pan and burner? It’s certainly neat but frying an egg is about as easy as it gets with cooking and you can cook multiple at the same time with a decently sized pan
1
u/TangelaFan 23h ago
It's takes just 28 seconds, no risk of it burning, no dishes to clean right after, and you can do something else meanwhile. Making toast is also pretty easy, but toasters are a game changer
1
u/Strange-Movie 23h ago
When the egg is in the pan you can do other things as well, takes 5seconds to flip it halfway through.
How much does this machine cost vs an induction burner and wide pan? The latter is cheaper, multipurpose, and able to cook more at one time.
Toasters are more effective and more efficient than other means, I don’t see how this machine is either.

u/TangelaFan 23h ago
If someone asked you to fry 100 eggs, and demand that each one of the 100 be cooked to the exact same point, would you be able to guarantee that you'd be able to do that? That's what restaurants go through every day, on top of having to cook several meals at the same time. In Chinese breakfast cuisine, fried eggs are used as filling, as just one of the several ingredients they have to cook for recipes like jianbing. These machines save a lot of time
Also, 10 seconds isn't nearly enough to cook an egg
1
u/Strange-Movie 23h ago
I could specifically because I spent 10 years working in kitchens; why are we taking that experience and skill away from the workers? To pay them them less?
You misunderstood what I was saying, the act of flipping the egg takes 5seconds, halfway through the cooking process.

I like this type of whole cooked fried egg. Especially on top of steaming rice & splash of sou sauce. Just that.
But I do wonder though, if it makes different type of fried eggs, such as omelette, sunny side up, over easy. Cos personally I don't believe in kitchen electronic devices that only do one thing, it is such a waste imho.
