Yay or Nay Wednesday: the USB George Foreman iGrill

Comments (7)

IgrillVideo calling didn't seem to inspire much opinion last week, so many this week's Yay or Nay will cook up a bit more controversy. The question is: do you really want to be cooking on your desk? Like, proper cooking? With heat, and meat, and perhaps some marinading? If the answer is yes, then you might want to look into purchasing the George Foreman USB iGrill.

I'm not convinced that when George loved it so much he put his name to it, he envisaged plugging it into his USB 2.0 connection. However, now the wondergrill has pretty much taken you out of the equation - the software means you can enter the food type and the degree of 'doneness' you want and the grill will control itself. Not only that, but you can set it to warm up over an internet connection whilst you're on your way home. So, without ever having to enlist the services of either a willing partner or maid, your dinner can be practically on the table when you get home.

So, will you be cooking remotely? Or does the idea of cooking near your precious computer fill you with horror? Vote NOW!!

The rest of today will be spent crawling into the hole that we I conveniently have located next to our my desk for occasions like this. However, don't let this put you off commenting - feel free to let us know whether you would ever fall for such a trick...]

Oh. My. God.

That is... beyond fabulous. I vote YAY.

Seriously? Can the power supplied through USB be adequate to heat a grill? I know that the recent MacBooks can fry eggs, but that's from the overheating of the battery.

But a USB grill? It might WARM a burger or whatnot, but grill it? I'm sceptical.

I can just see me activating it on my computer in the library as I set off home from work, getting stuck in traffic and arriving to find my house burnt to the ground

Definite No

Try buying one - you may find things aren't quite as the appear... :-)

Eh, what month are we in?

LOL - if only it were true! It would still be a NAY for me.

that would be a nay as its a spoof... its from their April Fools Day product list, 2002:

(with other fine gems as a lazerjet/shredder combo, and "Executive Atom Collection")

in 2004 they offered a 'habitrail' computer case, and an easy bake oven drive...

but last year, I REALLY wanted the USB fondue set..

all of these are fake, fyi, aside from the t-shirt which was a one-day-only freebie.
