Nov 26 2008Thanksgiving Made Easy: A 2-Hour Turkey
Well folks, if you haven't noticed by the lack of people at work or canned pumpkin at Kroger, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. The day we Americans celebrate Jesus's first bite of whole foods (some say it was a wise man's camel) and the subsequent decimation of the Native American population via laced cornucopia. So, to help you get in the spirit of it all, a Thanksgiving-ish post!
The Nuwave Oven Pro is a $120 portable oven that can allegedly cook a 10-pound turkey (or small sibling) in a mere two hours. "NuWave performs this miracle using three kinds of heat: Conduction, convection and infrared, turning that raw bird into a golden brown beauty in no time flat." Oh really? I bet we could cut the cooking time down to an hour by adding a fourth type of heat -- my body's. Did that just turn you on? You're lying if you say it didn't. Anyway, as a notorious one last minute man, I'm gonna have to use the NuWave, seeing how my turkey isn't even thawed yet. Or purchased for that matter. I'll let you know how it goes.
UPDATE: Mmmm, raw turkey with salmonella gravy, love it.

How do you make a turkey float?
Get two scoops of ice cream,

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadows are all wrong.
This thing looks like the container that they use to hold Nixon's head in the movie Never Back DOwn.

Wow. Not only is this old but I remember watching an infomercial on this about 4 years ago when I was still in high school.
Anyways, good job Geek-o-loogie writer.
And no, that's not a typo.

I miss my rotisserie - set it and forget it, that thing kicked ass!!! My mom now has it, and won't give it back...

What would you get if you crossed a turkey with an evil spirit?
A poultrygeist!

Destroy all of them now. I see a future where rampaging, human hunting, killer robots swarm the lands relentlessly capturing hapless humans and shoving them into their portable ovens that each manculling bot is equipped with.
Let's nip this in the bud people.

stupid meateaters! (jk) Vegetarianism is the way, you think cooking a turkey is hard, try cooking a f***ing venus fly trap!
BTW the jarthing does look like a head tank from like futurama

You don't deserve shit from this world!!!
You are an embarrasment! I wouldn't f*** you for a million dollars. or even suck your joiner!
Ass-sucking prick! Niggerf***ing retard piece of troll-f***ed wanker-bitch!
You define debauchery, grotesqueness, eternal damnation, and hell.
May Torah cast you eternal damnation! Burn in f***ing Hell, you f***ing cyst.
But I don't want you to die though. I want you to see what it looks like taking a plunge at Satan asshole. FUUUUUCCCCCKK YOU my brother.

I can't wait another day, damnit!
20. Mr. Sausage - November 26, 2008 4:51 PM
Would you please help me I bought a 10 pound turkey. Could you tell me how long to cook it in my new microwave?
“Just a minute,” the shop assistant said, as he turned to check his reference book.
“Oh, thank you,” she said. “You’ve been a big help. Good-bye!”
21. ahha - November 26, 2008 5:46 PM
I wonder if you could cook a turkey just by stuffing it.
22. ahha - November 26, 2008 5:48 PM
everyone needs to drop what they are doing and watch the "Happy Thanksgiving" video posted over on I watch movies. Awesome. Man dressed up as turkey is psycho killer.
23. Dekatsu - November 26, 2008 8:47 PM
Oh please please please don't buy a New-Wave. Im a professional chef and I can assure you that it will not come out pleasant. Follow a simple recipe online, and use a good old fashioned oven, trust me on this.

26. Aaron - November 26, 2008 10:54 PM
Come on, it wasn't a camel. Jesus ate kosher. It was probably a matza ball.

I own two Nuwaves (one for the kitchen, one for the camper). This is by far the best kitchen "gadget" I have ever purchased! Meat comes out crispy, browned, moist and delicious. It makes the best chicken wings possible, brown, crispy, moist and not a drop of added oil. Bacon comes out perfect with no grease splatters to clean up. The unit cleans up surprisingly easy. Nothing burns on, everything just wipes clean. There is a new version of this oven out called the Morningware Oven that also has halogen heat. I want to buy one.

f*** it, deep fry that bird. be done in 45 minutes. theres no sci fi waves involved. just fire a pot of grease and the bird. easy peasy...japanesey?
29. Jon - November 28, 2008 2:15 AM
hahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
My mom owns one of these. So damn awesome, you can cook f***in steaks in there.

@23
Why would you exoect a turkey to come out a pheasant? They are completely different kinds of birds.
PS This thing is great I highly recommend it.
