As you know, I have a weakness for the infomercial. Pajama Jeans, anyone? So, when I saw the infomercial for the Robo Stir, I couldn’t help myself:
The Robo Stirรขโ€žยข 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.
Robo StirStirring 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:
Yes, if you watched the video to the very last moments of the Robo Stir’s first minute of use, you saw that the stirring mechanism fell off.

Robo Stir stirring part falls offDespite 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…

Robo Stir Completely falls apart…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.

  1. Ha ha ha! Oh my goodness gracious, that is just too darn funny! My mom has seen this advertised and often considered buying it. Her wrists just kill her off when she stirs anything these days but so far, she hasn’t taken the bait. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I’ll have to share this post with her – hee hee! Thank goodness you had the forethought to record this epic failure for all the blogosphere to see! You saved us from impending doom, O Mighty Stir-Impaired One! And we so humbly thank you for it….

  2. that’s a shame I really like that robo stirrer thingy. I was thinking how awesome it would be if I could put that in my pasta sauce.

    I hope they improve on it cause it really looks like it could be a great product…. or a back scratcher any how lol

  3. Bummer I actually love making sauces, and was actually hoping this thing delivered the goods, as for your ‘secret’ it’s safe with me! ๐Ÿ™‚
