Maverick Hero Hot Dog Steamer


The Hot Dog is America’s favorite food, and you’ll just love this Maverick Hero Hot Dog Steamer. For “barking good” weenies, all you do is place the cooking tray on the base, add water and up to six (that’s right half-a-dozen) of your favorite hot dogs, then cook for about nine minutes. The thermostat goes off and the steamer actually barks when your dogs are ready to eat!

As a matter of fact, if you want a treat, here’s MY recipe that’s Nacho Ordinary Hot Dog! ENJOY!

I don’t know about you, but I love my electric skillet! I used mine all the time and, believe me, I’ve gone through many of them over the years.

With the recession upon us and harder economic times ahead, you can save money by growing your own herbs (and more) indoors, Lets face it, store-bought herbs are expensive, have a short shelf life, and they’re really NOT as healthy (or tasty) as if you grew them right in your kitchen! For example, the AeroGarden 6 Elite is studry, yet stylish, with its genuine brushed stainless trim and unique stainless accented base. It also has a 24-hour light cycle that accelerates growth rates. This a handy feature, particularly if you have a special occasion coming up or just want things to move faster in general.

Bialetti 6-Cup. Moka Express Stovetop Espresso Maker

I have to admit, I just finished a nice morning cup of espresso. Believe me, I love the rich and full-bodied flavor. However, I didn’t have to even leave the house to visit an expensive retail chain. The whole process took about 5 minutes, or so, and I did it right on my own stovetop. Personally, I think the home-made taste and aroma is much better than “store bought” - PLUS (here’s the kicker): Its definitely cheaper.

I used Bialetti’s 6-Cup Moka Express Stovetop Espresso Maker, This aluminum stovetop espresso maker produces authentic espresso. Here’s how it works: You fill the bottom chamber with water, place your ground espresso coffee in its filter insert, screw the pot together, and let the steam do its work as thew water boils. You can savor your cup on its own or with some frothed milk.

Bialetti, by the way is recognized around the world as an industry leader. A majority of families in Italy own a Bialetti product. As a matter of fact, if you look closely, you’ll find most of the chefs and cooks on television’s “Food Network” use the exact same espresso maker as this one.
