      A grease fire in an electric toaster? Nothing a bowl of water couldn’t cure. /s

      (/s because it would explode and could electrocute you at the same time)

        WTF is the point of making a joke, putting an idiot-“s” then a disclaimer?

        If someone takes you seriously that’s a Darwin award waiting to happen and the human race will improve slightly

          I used to hate the /s but we live in a global world where there may be young people and non native english speakers reading these comments. What is an obvious sarcastic joke to you and I might get lost in translation and on a case like this where actual fatal consequences could follow the joke being misunderstood there’s no harm in the community self policing a little to help keep everyone safe and in the loop.

            As an ex-young person and a non native english speaker, definitely agree. Back when I was younger and on Reddit I have missed satire on many different jokes cause the intentions of commenters would be hard to deduce.

            Thankfully I wasn’t stupid enough to do something like put out an electric fire with water, but there has most definitely been a case of someone killing themselves because they couldn’t tell whether a comment was a joke or not.

    Other than the fire hazard, I don’t see the problem.

    The meat being suspended gives it an even dry heat. Cooking both sides simultaneously should result in an even cook equivalent to constant rotation.

      It’s unlikely that a toaster would be able to produce even remotely enough eat to make this worth your while.

    When you said “hot meat”, I expected a very different scenario. :(

      Yeah, this seems like it might actually be brilliant, until the grease catches on fire underneath the steak. I think we need to invent this thing, with a grease capturing mechanism. I’ll see if George Foreman is interested in making another $383 million dollars to promote this thing. Nice!
