The Robo Stirรขโยข is the new way to make kitchen work quick and easy. It’s the tool that let’s you stir your food without actually having to stir.
Stirring food is such a chore! Obviously I need a Robo Stir.
The commercial for Robo Stir really makes it look like it is something that rotates in a whisk-like motion, so I was a little surprised when I got my Robo Stir in the mail and found that it really just vibrates.
Vibrates in a circular motion.
I was sure that it would be MUCH better in a pan and solve all my stirring needs, so I gathered a little help (Jana & Andrea) and we prepared to make white sauce to test out the Robo Stir.
We melted the butter.
We added the flour.
We set the Robo Stir in the pan to relieve us from the strenuous stirring duties.
I grabbed my camera and took the picture above and then grabbed my video camera to accurately demonstrate the rotational component:
Despite the missing ability to stir, the Robo Stir continued to jiggle and jump in one portion of my pan for a few more moments until…
…all three of the Robo Stir feet fell off as well.
So, if you are satisfied with a product that will give you 45 seconds of marginally helpful use, then Robo Stir is for you.
As for us, we have found a better use for the Robo Stir.
It delivers a mildly effective back massage.
you may have just given robo-stir a new idea for their product! i have a weakness for infomercials too! recently bought a nuwave. it’s great, when it’s working . . .
Ugh! Thank goodness it wasn’t a super thick sauce, imagine rushing someone to the ER with that stuck in their throat!
They always look good on TV and the we have the experience of using them in person. Sometimes I have had good luck and sometimes they have been complete duds as you found here. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Would you believe, my teen and I were watching that commercial and thinking “maybe we need this”? Both of us really really dislike having to stand over the pot and stir. But know what we like even less than stirring? Biting into plastic! Oy!
NICE! Thanks for starting off my morning with a laugh ๐ And, sorry your new gadget didn’t work out so good.
Yes, but imagine all the other household tasks you could have completed in those 45 seconds!!! LOL
That is TOO funny. My daughter is the infomercial stuff up though and would love it if I bought one though ๐
This made me laugh out loud. I showed it to my hubby, who was amused as well. His mom is an “As seen on TV” addict. ๐ She’s got a few of these stories too, I’m sure!
Shame I’m not much of a chef, but I’m sold on the back massager idea! And there’s nothing wrong with infomercials. Thanks to them, I now know that I need ProActiv, the Total Gym, the Thighmaster and a collection of the best of music from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Scary that they sell these! I wonder if anyone has managed to use it successfully. Perhaps you should suggest they rebrand it as a back massager. ๐
