By now, Emmy must have a large museum of obscure kitchen gadgets.
She has given several away to viewers. 😊
And not sure she keeps the ones that dont really work well....but Gadget Vids from Emmy are among my Favs ❤
She has her own Storage warehouse at this point in her career I'm almost certain lol. Or atleast a Very big Rented storage
She needs a folly fork.
😂 Doesn't everyone? If you buy them at thrift stores and yard sales, it's very inexpensive--and so much fun! 😊
My Daughter In Law's father, and a good friend , is the Flying Saucer Master for the Hongwanji's (Buddhists Temples and/or schools) here on Kauai. And whenever there is a Bon Dance, he is at the table preparing and cooking the treats. They sort of disappeared from temple, fundraising and carnival events on the other islands, but still hold a nostalgic presence here.
Wahiawa Hongwangi sells them.
We used to make these in the fire when we were camping on Cape Cod beaches. We would fill them with chocolate and marshmallows, ham & cheese, pie filling, hot dogs. Great memories, thank you!
As a child we camped every weekend all spring until late fall. We called ours camo pies and made them over the camp fires. We did pizza, burgers, pie fillings, and hot dogs also. The '70's were great. My favorite memories were the camp pies and grape ni-hi's.
Ours was square and we called them hobo pies... Usually pizza filling (sauce cheese and whatever toppings you like) and then dessert ones with marshmallow chocolate and graham or sometimes peanut butter and marshmallow and chocolate
We call them mountain pies... delicious...yummy!!!
@@MrsMur725 Now, how you come up with that name? When hear "hobo", I think of a homeless person.
Spoiled lol
As a kid in the 50's, we called them pudgy pies and made them in the campfire. Mostly made with apple or cherry pie filling and sprinkled with sugar after toasted. Span 20 years and we started making more savory pies. Pizza was a favorite.😊
Such a cute name
the flying saucer name probably came from the mid 50's with aliens movies becoming more mainstream
We did a lot of blueberry pies or ham&cheese. I think we've got 4 of the cast iron ones in the garage still. We've brought them camping with my niblings but never plan far enough ahead to think of bringing fillings, lol.
Round > Square IMO.
They were pudgie pies for me too, growing up in Wisconsin. We made them every year when we went camping in the early to mid 80's. Used to have pb & j's that way which btw, food NAPALM!! Lol 🤣
My family called them pudgy pies too.
I like watching Emmy when I'm stressed out. She's just so calming. 🌻
She is a large part of any comfort I've felt since March of 2020. ❤❤❤
Emmy is very therapeutic
Yum!!! ❤
Hi Emmy, here in South Africa that gadget is called a jaffle maker. My granny used to make us these toasted sandwiches on a Sunday evening when we were not in the mood to cook. :D Its an amazing gadget, the only downfall is that you can only make one at a time. Thanks for the great episode.
It’s known as a jaffle iron in Australia and New Zealand, too.
Jy kry nou 3-in 1 jaffle makers ;)
@@jentinanaude2659ja, but it's not the same, especially the electric one. It just doesn't taste the same as when you put over the gas burner or wood fire.
I have an electric one and it gets used frequently. And you get 2 at a time!
We have something similar. It was a square iron and we used them camping. They were called mountain pies. We always made pizza filling.
Yes, this is how I know them as well. We've done many filling both sweet and savory but pizza was always my fave!
Oh a jaffle iron! We’ve had those in Australia for over 50 years. They are delicious. I remember growing up my mum used to make us cheese jaffles yummm
“Mustard blood”. Good one, Emmy, good description! You are such a joy to watch and add fun to job being done.
We call it something a lil different. (Mustard pee!🫣)
Pretty sure every girl scout will remember these, and how to do various recipes in them. Pizza for dinner and apple pie filling for dessert.
In South Africa we call this a jafel and it is still a great favourite in South Africa especially at flea markets, bazaars and church sales. We mix our mince with mix vegs and sometimes we will flavour the mince with curry and chutney.
In South Africa we call those Jaffles and we call the little machine that makes them a Jaffle Maker. We usually have curried mince in it, which is a traditional Jaffle but you can have whatever filling you like.
As a lover of sloppy joes and a a hater of Manwich, please allow me to share the recipe that my family has used for more than 50 years, since I was a small child. It's a hit with anyone we serve it to even today!
For each pound of ground meat (which I cook with diced onion and garlic for additional flavor), combine:
¾ cup Ketchup
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp white vinegar
Pour over cooked meat, and simmer for 10 or so minutes, then serve!
Super easy, you know exactly what's in your food, and there have never been any leftovers in our house.
making this tn 🙏🏼
We here in South Africa have something called "Jaffles". They're made using a device exactly like this and done so exactly like this- two slices of white bread filled with mince. Our Jaffle iron comes from our grandparents/great grandparents alone. To my understanding, Australia also has a large culture revolving around this food? I am not entirely sure on the specifics, however.
It's fascinating to see how many cultures have some or another version of UFO-style toasties in them!
Some canned lemon pie filling with a big marshmallow and you've got a lemon meringue pie! That was always my favorite when we were camping.
awww, A big thumbs up with a big *yum,* 😋for the great idea since the flavor of lemon ANYthing is one of my favorites...Funny side note...Many years ago on a Girl Scout camping trip, the daughter of our Scout leader burnt her braid when she leaned in a little too close to the flames to check her S'more...🔥 *: )*
Forty years of making jaffles/toasties, and that is a spectacular idea for a filling. Not sure where I find lemon filling, unless one used lemon curd, but great idea. Thanks.
Canned spaghetti, or baked beans work well for these jaffles.
Y.U.M.
@@Janmification I NEVER would have thought of that! Sounds... like you'd want to warn people. On the other hand I always have those things around, so it won't be hard to try!
We had one of these in the 50's/60's. I don't remember where or who we got it from, but I did have an uncle from Oahu. We put all kinds of stuff in it. Even spagetti, peanut butter, chili, you name it, we tried it! Also, after cutting the crusts off we opened the thing back up and added them on top. Back then we didn't waste anything! 😸
I was wondering about that! It seems like you would accumulate a bowl full of bread corners if you got into this at all. Just now I imagined putting a pile of the odd bits and some butter in the gadget, and just closing it, and seeing if you could make them stick together... HM have to think about it a little more.
I can't imagine how good this would be with Nutella and marshmallow spread 😭😭 maybe some bananas or strawberries
or toasted pbj :9
I’m so intrigued you’ve never had a Sloppy Joe before! They were a staple for my family growing up, ALWAYS paired with nacho cheese Doritos! They’re essential to me!
Was looking for comment!
We had Sloppy Joes as a kid. I really didn't like them, but back then, we were on a tight budget and hardly ever ate any fast food.
They were always a treat when I had them growing up!
We used to make these in cub scouts in the State Park for desserts, usually with two slices of white bread using fruit/pie filling from cans, cherry, apple, and blueberry.
Those are called Jaffles in South Africa and they're awesome. You can put any filling in there, bacon & egg, curry mince, cheese & tomato etc
You can even buy a triple jaffle iron that makes 3 at the same time.
In South Africa we call this a Jaffel maker and we usually fill it with curried mince (ground beef) or cheese and tomato. i think i know what im having for lunch today. thanks Emmy 😊😋
We used to have similar things as a kid. We called them campfire pies. My dad also was my Cub Scout leader so he brought them with us on camping trips there too. We used to get some basic white bread and butter in them, then fill the middle with basically anything. Pie filling, spaghetti o’s, pizza sauce & cheese sticks. We didn’t have a lot of money to spend so it was a simple treat that we didn’t have to have money for. Just a couple bucks and a stack of wood.
Brings back memories eating jaffles in South Africa in 60s as a child.
So delicious with cheese and tomato with lots of black pepper and salt. Live on Oahu in Hawaii now but have never seen them here.
👍😋❤️
Love the UFO animation! 🛸😂 Thanks for all the videos you do, love watching all the fun unusual gadgets you get. ❤
I thought that was cute, too.
The tool for cooking ground meats was a game changer with the problems I have in my hands. It is a go to gift for all of my chronically ill friends.
I agree. Just like the dough whisk, it’s easier to use an overhand stabbing motion than the usual utensil hold. if you know what I mean? it’s hard to describe.
I love mine and it gives such a consistent grind/crumb. So much better than using a spatula of wooden spoon.IMO
Just bought my own a few days ago! Avoided it for a long time thinking it was just gimmicky. Jokes on me! It’s a fabulous tool, makes quick work of a tedious job!
@shelleybowman
I bought one years ago and my wife thought I fell for a useless gimmick. But it's definitely a game changer.
I LOVE mine! I saw one online when I was buying some other things one day and now I don't mind browning hamburger and ground sausage at all! It is so much quicker to get nice smaller consistent sized crumbles for tacos and sloppy joes!
On wow! We had this growing up in the West Indies in the 1970's. It must have been a wedding gift to my parents in the 60's. Never had the instructions so as kids we just made grilled cheese sandwiches sometimes with cold cuts. Thanks for the info. I'm sending your video to my siblings. They will also get a kick out of the A-ha moment!
Here in Wisconsin we call that a pudgy pie maker. They also make square ones. Is good with savory and sweets. Especially assorted pie fillings. Great on campfire😊
Rome , which makes an assortment of pie irons, is based out of Madison, WI. 👍🏻😎🔥😃
@CheezeheadChris yes I know :)
We have that in South Africa as well and it is very popular. We call it a Jaffle maker and it makes Jaffles. The filling is usually a savory minced meat with sometimes some veggies added. In Afrikaans it is also known as a Knypkoek (pinched cake). Enjoying your videos all the way from South Africa! ❤
I love your channel because it's just so calming, fun and carefree to watch a recipe being brought to life with the use of kitchen gadgets 😍
Thank you. 🧡
In NZ we call them toasties, but they’re usually square. A popular filling is canned spaghetti with cheese 😅
First, I'm surprised that you'd never eaten a Sloppy Joe!
I remember using something *similar* to this when i went on a camping trip with my school. It was square and we used it to cook our dinner & desert over the fire. I hadn't thought about that in years. Thanks for bringing back such a sweet memory.💜
Round > Square, IMO. I'm not sold on the big UFO dome as we mostly did blueberry pie filling or ham and cheese sandwiches and I think the dome would be too much fruit filling so the ratio is all out of whack and wouldn't work so well with flat slices of ham and cheese. UFO shape seems perfect for a sloppy joe though!
If I am remembering correctly the Manwich sauce in Canada has little chunks of pepper, onion and tomato in it too. That one you just opened just looked like plain tomato sauce to me.
I live in the Midwest and the Manwich sauce we had when I was a kid had chunks of peppers, onions, etc. The one I bought a couple of years ago did not. I don't know when the recipe changes.
It still has peppers in it in Canada; I wasn't allowed to eat "unhealthy" food growing up, so I missed out on Manwich. When I moved out at 20, a group of co-workers got together and my friend pulled out a couple cans of Manwich. I got so excited; I was ready to try something forbidden.
I immediately loved it and would often buy it for a weekend meal. When my Son was young I introduced him to Manwich and he hated it. I would still buy it for myself and I assume people were thinking I was feeling my Son crap.
Now I haven't had it this year so I'll be buying a tin of Manwich tomorrow. I'm so juvenile 😂 but they'll be on Costco brioche buns 😋
@@paolonergelo2941 ya but I am talking about our original version.
Alabama here. I like the chunky one but my family does not! So. When I brown the meat I add chopped onions and finely chopped yellow bell pepper! Also, Manwich Bold is yummy!!
I live in South Africa, and here we have a snack called a jaffle. Its basically exactly the same things as the flying saucers, but here we fill them with chicken mayonnaise OR beef mince and bobotie (another South African spice combo/dish) . Its sooo yummy and its a South African classic. The jaffle maker looks exactly the same as your tool in the video. Interesting
That's what it really is: a jaffle. It's an Australian invention from 1949, just up the road were I used to live in Bondi. Never really knew that. We had one in the 60's. And indeed it's also very popular in South Africa also. You can let your imagination go wild with these things.
Those are very handy, the possibilities are just about endless.
My brother and sister-in-law had a few of these gadgets (with the longer handles and I want to say they were cast iron, for campfires) in their standard camping gear. Regular old white bread and pie filling made nummy little pies. I want to say they were square in shape, though, not round. Obviously, shape didn't matter. They were just one of the awesome things about going camping as a kid in East-Central Illinois.
As for Manwich, I want to say that the recipe was better than it is nowadays, but it might just be my tastebuds having matured. Loved Manwich as a child when my mom made it
As always, love your videos! Thank you for sharing this!🤗
Yep the square ones are what I remember ..
I LOVE how you described every dish you make! You are a verbal artist!
Makes me think of the Hobo Pie maker you demonstrated a rew years ago
Thank you, Glenn! I love it when Emmy gets excited!
Who is Glen? Last name?
I have one of those, I suppose mother got it ages ago. We made grilled cheese in it, and also peanut butter and jelly. PB&J is amazing, the peanut butter is like molten lava, you've got to try it!
I made a grilled PBJ once. It was exceedingly tasty and VERY messy! The contraption would cut down on the messy quite a bit. 😊
When I was a little girl my grandma had one of those and made grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for me. It was so good! Happy memories!
We call them Jaffles in South Africa and is a fete and fair favourite snack and great to take a "Jaffle Iron" camping for toasted cheese over the fire. Interesting the jaffle iron actually comes from Australia, invented there in the 1930's. We use a mix of ground beef and onions ( maybe added chopped tomatoes) traditionally for the filling
I travel in my RV with my toast-tite. I had no idea it was popular in Hawaii.
This brings back such lovely memories! My 4th/5th grade teacher loved the earth. He deemed us “earth keepers” and so he’d take us on all kinds of field trips, one of which included a two day overnight trip to a farm/nature center. We milked cows, gathered eggs, learned about the stars, and the extra fun part, used these flying saucer things to make warm Pb&js over a campfire!
I've never seen a tool like that before, the thing you used to break up the turkey I mean. Both of those gadgets are neat 👍
It's a hamburger chopper. Betty Crocker teamed up with Hamburger Helper years ago to sell them. Now there's a bunch of knockoffs. Also, I believe the tool was around for years before Betty Crocker stole the idea.
I found mind thru Amazon
We used these at Girl Scout camp in the 60's and 70's to make desert with white bread, butter, and pie filling. Loved them! Good to see it used for savory fillings.
>Good to see it used for savory fillings.
Ham & cheese was common in my neck of the woods. The sealed edges stop the main problem with trying to rush ham & cheese toasted sandwiches on the stove: leaky cheese.
Hell, I've got a gas stovetop now and I really should grab the irons in the garage the next time I want to make one (which is fairly often, tbh.)
We had something like that when I was a child! had totally forgotten about it. You just made me really happy
Can use all sorts of fillings. From fruit to egg salad or ham salad. Cheese and bacon is yummy. Any thing that fits is good. Never knew about the Hawaiian connection before. Thanks Emmy
Ohh, the Toas-tite. That brings up old memories! I grew up in the 50's and 60's with that and yes, those look like the original directions, etc, too. This repro like it is made of a lighter weight metal, and ours had wooden handles. Of course, we made them the "normal way" too, but we mostly made grilled cheese sandwiches with it, sometimes throwing in a couple slices of leftover cooked bacon or a thin slice of tomato. My dad was still using it when I moved out of the house. I think it lasted at least 60 yrs if not more.
We had this saucer mold from Mexico, which we used during my childhood. Great grilled cheese and bologna sandwiches.
How'd that work out? I wouldn't think the dome would work well with flat sandwiches like a grilled cheese or a meat and cheese grilled sandwich. Does all the cheese melt and conglomerate into the middle? I've only used the flat irons.
I love my toastite. They're popular in Alaska too because residents of our sister state (Hawaii) bring them. I use a recipe from Eastern Washington called "space burgers" for my husband, who grew up there. It's very similar to what Emmy made, but the sauce is ketchup, mustard, Velveeta, mayo, and chopped pickles - like hamburger soup. I like spam in mine. Pro tip: make sweet ones filled with jam, chocolate, etc and top them with a big scoop of ice cream :P
Tell your husband "hi" from S E Washington!
I love the retro gadgets!
Sounds like LOTs of people have happy memories of making all manner of these around the campfire. thank you for sharing!
I always look out for one of those at good will
Emmy, thank you for bringing back memories. I was born and raised on Kauai. Growing up on Kauai, I worked and attended Bon Dance at most of our temples. You are absolutely correct, flying saucers is specific to Kauai. I live on Oahu now and have never had flying saucers here. You could also use an electric sandwich maker if you can’t find the gadget.
Came to see how many people call it a jaffle pan like we do in South Africa! Super popular here for camping. I grew up with one, my dad used to make curry mince jaffles on the stovetop ❤❤❤❤ I literally told my husband the other day we should buy one cuz you can stuff so much in it! Quick meal sorted!!
My Dad loved to take thin slices of peaches or apple, spices and a bit of butter between the bread which he buttered on the outside.He toasted them over a gas stove. Thank you so much for the memory!
That's a nifty kitchen gadget. And I can't believe you've never had a sloppy joe, they're one of my favorites. Ground beef(in the sauce), fresh onion, kraft singles, on a sesame bun. So simple and so delicious. Heaven!😋
Love sloppy joes!
We have these and our Scoot Troop also. We call the Pie-O-My irons and put anything that will fit inside. Meat, cheese, pie filling, peanut butter, jelly chocolate and pepperoni, sauce and mozzarella.
Love how much fun you are having with this recipe and device! That sci-fi scene was the best! ❤
We still use one w longer handles. My husband’s family has always gone camping and brings them to make campfire pies. Prep sliced bread like for a grilled cheese, but add a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar before putting it in the maker. For a quick camping dessert fill with canned fruit pie filling- blueberry is my favorite!
I grew up with a Toast-tite in the 40s &50s. I still have and use it. Mine is made of very cast iron. Not aluminum. We made the sandwichs by buttering two slices of bread, placing on slice, butter side down, put in a spoon of jam or jelly or preserves. Top it with the other slice, butter side up, trine the excess bread. Then over a stove flame turning when one side I’d done. Dang! So delicious.
I'm slightly astonished that you've never had a sloppy joe - they're great fall or winter food, and can be a very easy and economical way to feed a crowd!
In South Africa we call these Jaffels :) We put a curry ground beef mixture in them and sometimes add some apricot preserves in there too. They are really good!
When I was a teenager, there was a restaurant in Miami named Polaris that was open late night that served Platillos Voladores (Flying Saucers). My favorite savory one included a fried egg inside and my favorite sweet one had guava paste and cream cheese. Many an after party took place at Polaris!
Glad you mentioned this. My dad was Cuban and he made these all the time. They're great with picadillo or guayaba y queso inside! I still have the one he used to use.
@@sylvia_golightly yes!! Picadillo with cheese were amazing! Now I’m thinking Picadillo and fried egg would be also. I still have a plancha from Miami. I remember when those things cost $4 or $5 at Navarro or Sedanos…not anymore!
Bingo! That's the one! I would have thought of it... EVENTUALLY. Yeah, I'm from Miami and miss the coffee and pastries... I sometimes make a grilled cheese sandwich of guava paste and cream cheese... NOW it can be a little closer, more filling, more hot and squishy. It's going to be great! Then there's the famous Helen Ruth ("Helena Ruiz") sandwich... Then I guess one could put something in there that would remind you of an empanada? I don't miss Miami, but I miss EVERY bakery I ever went to down there. Special shout-out to Party Cake, but I loved them all.
I have one of those ground meat chopper things and when the meat gets stuck in it, I just tap it on the side of the pan and it usually falls out.
This gadget would be so great for breakfast on the go & kids lunches! It really seemed like a gadget for 1 particular thing but after seeing you use it, i could think of so many uses that makes it a kitchen staple, especially for households with kids!
We in South Africa call it a Jaffle Iron. We fill it with various fillings. Meat, fish, chicken & and leftovers. You name it and it is a delicious way to make on the go food for the kids lunchbox or for a road trip. I make a lot in advance and freeze. So when in the mood it can just be re-heated in microwave.
I have one for camping. I used to make the most epic breakfast sandwiches with it. French toast or pancakes, then stuff it with savory filling or sweet filling. I made the best campfire Monte cristo this way. Also great with left over pie crust, biscuit dough (even the can stuff), cookie/brownie/cake/muffin batter,and pizza dough. My husband’s favorite was the personal calzones I made. Just make sure you preheat the pan before you lay down the circle of dough. Have a thinner crust, precook your veggies/meat, and don’t put sauce into the calzone for optimal dough consistency. I serve it on the side. The possibilities are endless with that gadget.
Hi Emmy, I was watching your episode on the toas-tote, My family has used them for years and years I have the original. My mom had back in the 50s what she used to do is take out a lot of the taco leftovers from the night before I throw it in a bowl and use that in a filling for the toast delicious just delicious. Also You can make desserts like s’mores excellent.
Also, another note when you’re cooking ground, beef or turkey if you add a little bit of water to the pan, it will help break up the meat into smaller pieces. Hope you enjoy the toas-tite!!!
Wow! Thanks for posting this. I've had one of these for at least 30 years. My grandmother gifted it to me after purchasing at someone's yard sale. I don't think mine is a replica. Ha! We mostly used it to make flying saucer pies - buttered and sugared bread, canned pie filling. Easy-peasy, but fun for the kids.
Ok you need us more of these flying saucers! They look great! I want that Tos-Tite thing too now lol.
I have these as they are the stove design for the cast iron pie irons. Although the original design is the 1920s, 1949 for the Jaffle, they really hit their stride in the 1960s. Rome makes the most common cast iron models. They are mostly used for getting kids involved in camp cooking through families, and Boy and Girl Scouts. There are even pie iron cook books. The aluminum are great to use on a camp stove when you in a hurry or there are fire restrictions. Get one for each child and show them how to make meals on a camfire and they will never forget it.
My family has one of those. We bought it in 1975 in preparation for a camping trip in the western US. When my mother was young, she’d used one to make personal fruit pies. Slice of white bread, big dollop of canned cherry pie mix, second slice of bread. Close it down tight, hold it over the fire for a few minutes on each side. Voila! Better than Hostess Fruit Pies.
Here in northern Minnesota we refer to them as tonka toasters. Tonka toaster is a Minnesota based company and made them in cast iron. These were commonly filled with fruit pie filling and cooked over a bonfire. After eating these things for the last 50 years we’ve collected about 30 of these things, round ones square ones and some shaped like fish.
I so love the monotone to your voice it’s so comforting 😊❤
My mom used to make grilled cheese, ham and cheese, or hot pb&j with this! Loved them.
We used these when we went camping. They are called pie molds and ours were made of cast iron and made to be used in a camp fire. We made pizzas, chocolate chips or bits broken off a Hershey bar and either marshmallows or Fluff. We had all kinds of toppings for the pizzas. Never thought to use them for breakfast food.
You are SOOOOO amazing and calming I love watching you create and produce these delicious and not so nice treats and foods 💙
That ground meat tool we also use to break up refrigerated rice when we are cooking fried rice! The best tool for the job!
We had those at home, but ours, was square...exact same thing , just an other form! I love when my mother use it. She was making delicious grill cheese with ham and stuff inside too! it was in the 80's! Any sandwich with cheese in it, was amazing with this! Mac$cheese ham pockets too... Miss my mom!!! :)
Hi Emmy!! Greetings from the Dominican Repúblic 🇩🇴. 🤗🤗✨
Flying saucer kid from the 60s and 70s. It was always a blast making them.
Nothing wrong with "moist." You always want your food moist.
I had 3 of the same Stearns & Foster mattress ads during this video. Between these and Helix, they must think Emmy really puts people to sleep!
I remember that when I was a Scout we had a wooden box that contained numerous items of kitchen tools and equipment that had been donated to the group usually from the leftover items when someone had passed away and the items were donated either to sell in a rumage sale or specifically for the group to use on camp. In our box we had two of these toasted sandwich makers unfortunately we didn’t have any of the packaging materials or recipes for them so they were not put to use and eventually we had a reorganisation of the storeroom and they were disposed of along with several other items that we had little use for.
So lovely that she celebrated Glens mother Katherine, classic Emmy 😊
These were HUGE in cafes in Argentina when I was a kid, but with ham and cheese. My grandma used to make them too ♥
In South Africa these are called Jaffels. It was normally filled with left over food mixed with cheese and mayo and presented as after school lunch.
Sometimes the jaffle iron travled along on camping trips. Just incase we did not catch any fish for dinner.
My mom made jaffles anyway. Cheese, mayo and whatever she could find. If there was fish she would clean it for lunch the next day. I was her helper so I knew her routine.
Brings up so much memories.
Sorry guys.
Here in Australia we call this a jaffle iron. You can get them in this shape and also square. Great to make snacks on an open fire or on the gas stovetop. I guess it was the precursor to toasted sandwich makers. I have an original from the 1950's which I still use. The most common snack is baked beans. Thank you for such a great channel, I love the things you do and make and create. Cheers from Toowoomba, Queensland.
Before Manwich was canned, moms had to make Sloppy Joes the hard way, follow a recipe. From what I remember its sauted minced onion and green pepper, minced garlic, tomato paste, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, water and my mom would use some left over home made baked beans to give it some substance. Heat it till bubbling, take if off the heat and taste it to adult seasonings, then use a blender or spatula to mash/mix the beans into a paste and stir it thru. Bring it to a boil and turn it back to a simmer, add in cooked meat or well cooked mushrooms.
Growing up, we used these “irons” when camping and made fruit pies. Cherry were my favorites!!
Emmy, I was spazzing out when you used the ground meat tool back in on the cooked meat. It still had a chunk of raw turkey in the far tines. Once the ground meat is mostly browned, inswirch to another utensil that hasn't touched raw meat.
That jaffle iron reminds me of some pocket sandwich makers they used to sell on TV. It made 2 triangle shaped hot pockets in a Teflon device kind of like a Foreman grill. Never bought one, but I was tempted back in the early 90s.
We used to make flying saucers when I was a kid, in Puerto Rico. My mom actually had that same gadget you used, Emmy, she had 4 and my brothers and I would help her make them. We would butter the bread and help her fill them up and she would place them on the stove to "cook", and enjoy. Thanks for showing this, it brought back so many wonderful memories of my childhood.
Thank you for the shout-out to the island I was born and raised on! I now live on Oahu and when I first moved here back in the early 90’s, there were no flying saucers at the bon dances I went to. Hope you can return to Hawaii soon! 🌺🌈🤙🏽
Grew up in the 70s eating fruit pies made in them over the camp fire. The brand was Tonka, so we called them Tonka Toasters. Just white bread and canned pie filling, then when they were done, dipped in sugar. YUM! We never did try savory sandwiches, though there were recipie suggestions in the little booklet that came with it.
Disco Voladores! I grew up on these in Miami. It was very popular in Cuba and my mom would make them all the time. White bread, ham & cheese or guava paste and cream cheese filled.
It was one of my biggest cravings while I was pregnant.
My grandfather used to make all kinds of "flying saucer" sandwiches for snack in the early '70's in the Philippines. I don't remember where the "flying saucer" came from but I do remember that we even had two. Our favorites included ham and cheese or just cheese. I'm ordering one from Amazon just for the sake of nostalgia and for the love of flying saucer sandwiches!!!!
awsome episode - now i gotta get one
We call them jaffles in South Africa. Its a big thing here, and people do all kinds of fillings, even a custard type sweet filling
Emmy! Our family uses a version of this when we camp as well. I've actually purchased pizza dough from my local Italian market and we made little mini calzone and stromboli! We've done every kinda sandwich but never like this! So cool! I find Manwich a bit sweet for my liking so I usually cut it with a bit of tomato soup. I'm not a religious person, but Hawaii makes me believe there is something FAR greater than myself. I've had the privilege to go to Oahu twice! I had a 'religious' experience at Hanauma bay. I spent both vacations in true awe and wonder. Thanks for brightening my day always Emmy!
I have, & love, both your tools today. However, my “flying saucer” makers are super old, we always called them pie makers. We often made grilled cheese, leftovers were a biggie too. Mashed potatoes, gravy, veg, & pot roast is great. A few tablespoons of leftovers makes a great kid meal. Wheat & other whole grain breads are wonderful too. It also makes amazing sweet pies, a little canned peaches, or whatever are great.
I have one of those choppers. Tapping it on the side and rotating it will usually get the pieces stuck in there to fall out. Coincidentally, I'm watching this while my ground beef is defrosting because I'm making Whimpies tonight. It's like the flling for that, except without Manwich. It just uses more ketchup, mustard, sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire. But I'm definitely getting one of those Toas-Tites! They look FUN!
