Looks like a miniature cement mixer, but instead of producing cement, it makes perfectly cooked scrambled eggs.
Here's how it works: crack in the eggs; add a little milk; drop in a knob of butter, and switch it on. As it churns away just like a regular cement mixer, its teflon inside drum also heats
up, gently cooking the mixture as is slops around against the angled agitating blades.
When it's done, just tip the scrambled eggs out unto a plate, and get someone else to clean it.
Part of this complete breakfast.

Will this also be available in a brass-and-mahogany Stemapunk version ? |

//get someone else to clean it// I wonder if you could
scramble an egg in situ by sonicating it in the shell. Not only
would solve the cleaning problem, but the egg could be both
scrambled *and* soft-boiled. |
|
| |
Crackin eggs in the cement mixer?...
you know that's a paddlin. |
|
| |
do you have a model that actually moves around the
table delivering scrambled eggs from plate to plate? |
|
| |
For cleaning, you could have a number of miniature broken
bricks which you throw into it and leave, dislodging residual
egg whilst annoying the neighbours. |
|
| |
Is this full size, I hope. |
|
| |
Um, how do you get the drum to heat up? Electricity through slip rings? Flame on the outside? |
|
| |
When scrambling eggs, I put the butter in first, just to slick the pan a bit, and leave out the milk, as I was told it toughens the eggs (although the butter is also a dairy product, as is the cheese I always put in). |
|
| |
Love it. A perfect application for induction heating, too, as it could both rotate and heat the drum from one coil. If this is how it worked, the drum could be completely removed and cleaned in a dishwasher, but I feel this would be detracting from the idea somewhat. |
|
| |
Seeing as scrambled eggs are the least difficult type
of preparation, this idea is delightfully
overcomplexicated. [+] Would be practical for big
batches, however. |
|
| |
I'd long been thinking of something like this as a stir-fryer, but I got hung up on trying to keep it from spattering all over, as well as on getting the heat to it. Induction heating, eh, [mixtela]? Gotta look at that. |
|
| |
With the right lid this would work for popcorn, too. |
|
| |
I love this. Especially if it could come with cookie-
cutter-style moulds to turn your toast soldiers into
spades. |
|
| |
Or, for tube-shaped omelets or crepes, tilt up
vertically and set to 'centerfuge.' |
|
| |
Scrambled eggs...yum. Done in a cement mixing
truck, double yum. (yum-yum). |
|
| |
I love this idea, because I've been trying to find a
way to cook really good SE's without all of the
attention. |
|
| |
The flavor really comes out in SE's when they are
cooked at really low heat in a teflon pan and
stirred constantly with a silicon spatula. This can
take 20 minutes for five servings, but the results
are really something else again. |
|
| |
You really only have a couple of options to keep
them in motion: tumble them and let them stick
to the pan, or have some sort of gentle scraping
device to dislodge them from the surface. |
|
| |
Because I am a UF who will probably never do
much with any idea, I will follow up with a realted
idea that I thing will work, without the cleanup. |
|
| |
+ can I get one delivered by tomorrow? |
|
| |
Does anyone know if this would really work? Where's the
turmeric? |
|
| |
Maybe it will work. I'm one who manipulates the eggs maybe
more than they need to with the spatula. I do it so they won't
burn into the pan, though. |
|
| |
The kit simply must come with a small shovel, and an apron that shows the top 1" of builder's cleavage. |
|
| |
//Where's the turmeric?// Never put that in my scrambled eggs before. Must try it. |
|
| |
Very good - and it needs an accompanying skip of toast. |
