Freakin’ Awesome Microwave Omelet Maker
February 21st, 2012
My job has me traveling consistently. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to visit new cities, but frequently, I find myself between a rock and a hard place when it comes to maintaining my nutrition on the road. I work out almost everyday, so it’s vital that I get the proper amount of protein, fats, carbs, etc. As most of you know, hotel breakfasts (especially the free ones) are often quite low on “healthy” scale.
Microwave Omelet Maker Email
The other day I received an email from a company I bought a headset adapter from, only this time, the email wasn’t for headset adapters. They’ve made a killer little product that is essentially a silicone microwave omelet maker. Now there are plenty of microwave omelet makers on the market today, but the problem is that most are made of chemically-laced plastic, which, according to numerous resources, can actually leach chemicals into your food when you put that stuff in the microwave. Silicone, on the other hand, does not. So I went ahead and ordered this bad boy and was pleasantly surprised to find that, as the name Squish suggests, it’s squishy (duh, it’s silicone). Now some people may view this as a flaw in product design, but for someone like me who travels frequently, it’s very easy to throw the microwave omelet maker into my suitcase. Since it’s silicone, it isn’t going to get crushed, which is awesome. Additionally, most hotel rooms with have a microwave, but few will have a stove. I can buy eggs anywhere, but rarely is there something in the room that I can cook them with, so this product works exceptionally well for me.
Who Should Buy a Microwave Omelet Maker?
Now, this product probably isn’t for everyone. At $14.95, I consider it a steal, based on the value that it’ll provide for me, but I can see the price for other people being somewhat of a stopping point. Consider this…you can purchase a microwave omelet maker from other places online for $5-$10, but they are going to be made out of plastic. Now, if you’re someone who’s looking after your health (which you should be), then the $5 difference should be a steal, knowing that you’re not going to get any nasty chemicals leached into your omelet. It’s certainly not the most ideal way to start off your morning. You can buy the silicone microwave omelet maker here, directly from Amazon. If you do end up purchasing it, please be sure to throw a comment below and share any recipes you’ve discovered with other readers.
Cheers.
