Barry over on Sandwiches of History uses a Slice-A-Slice occasionally when the day's sandwich calls for thinly sliced bread. It does what it says on the label, it lets you slice a slice of bread into two super thin slices.
In “Saucepans & the Single Girl “ (Jinx Kragen, Judy Perry) 1965, include a “small newspaper-burning grill” as item to include in your kitchen supplies. And as it is 1965 and this cookbook is slightly tongue in cheek, they suggest that hand the man of the hour the newspaper, grill and meat let him cook outdoors. After all they say, … men tend to be insufferably proud of any food that passes through their hairy hands. Tongue in cheek- oh yes.
back in the day there were ads for a device, you took your used newspaper dampened it put it in this mould/press took them out and allowed to dry, then you had flammable bricks for the fireplace in your home
I had a round one of these back in the 80s. Since I worked the crew that packed the buses we would take it with us on band trips. When we stopped at the park for lunch everyone else would eat sandwiches out of their paper bags and we'd be eating hot burgers and Bluebell ice cream.
Emmy, I bought one of those metal wedge gadgets 40 years ago from the Lillian Vernon catalog and I still use it. It is for bread slices. You open the wedge and place a slice of bread between the sides. Close the wedge at the top and run a knife from the top to the bottom. Voila. one slice becomes two thinner slices. It was a handy gadget during the early days of Weight Watchers when you could only have one slice of bread. Ostensibly, it sliced that into two so you could have a sandwich.
The best burger I ever had was from a restaurant here. It had peanut butter, jelly, bacon, lettuce, and an overeasy egg on top. It was a sweet, salty, and savory concoction that shouldn't work but did. 🍔😋

My dad had one of these cookers from early 90s where it was cylindrical. He used it everywhere, brought back some memories. The original instructions didn't have you cover the grill with foil so that the fat of whatever you were cooking would drip into the fire and burn longer.
I'll tell you what happens when you cook with newspaper number one you don't end up with banana pudding. There are no banana pudding recipes that involve newspaper
I grew up on miracle and still prefer it over mayo but I remember when I was a child and did a sleepover at a friends house and they used proper mayonnaise on their sandwiches, not knowing why I didn't like it but now it's clear because it's the sugar. Lol 😂
The slice a slice looks similar to a camping toaster I once had; could also be used as a stove top toaster. Open it to a wedge triangle; place bread on each side with the bottom opening over the heat source. Turn the bread when the first side exposed to the heat source is toasted to toast other side. Edit: Nope. I was wrong. I looked it up. One puts a piece of slightly toasted bread between the two plates. Close the plates. With a sharp bread knife, carefully slice the bread in half the long way, making two very thin slices of bread. I still think it looks similar to a folding camping toaster I once had.
Interesting burger, except, I don’t like Miracle Whip or peanuts, so I’ll stick with the old fashioned burger done medium, with ketchup. Thanks for the demo.
Naw, putting that meat-side down with combusting newsprint ink, acids, bleaches, dyes, etc., that's in burning newspaper doesn't sound too healthy. I'd keep the foil in place and just flip the burgers, even if way more cumbersome. Never tried Miracle Whip before, 'though on burgers I tend to put more mayo than katchup most of the time. It gives it a mellower creamier taste+texture vs just the raw acid from the katchup.
I can’t imagine cooking on a newspaper fire. I grew up learning how to cook on a wood fire from an early age. Newspaper is ….not wood. It’s smelly, burns too hot and quick.
@telebubba5527 75% of newsprint is recycled... at some point it was wood but that could have been years ago. It doesn't burn like wood at all. It's like the difference between a chaff of wheat and a Twinkie
Hamburgers with peanut butter = goober burgers (at least that's what they call them in the midwest). I don't like...hubby loves. My Mom bought whatever was on sale -Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise. I use both.
What's with all the Miracle Whip haters? I grew up with it. I don't love it, but then I don't love mayo from a jar either. Homemade mayo is hands down the tastiest, assuming you can eat the eggs.
Back when I was a kid,my family was given a similar newspaper fueled grill. About the same size but round. It fit neatly in it's box. Quickly became a staple of our camping equipment. I recall there was a caution to use only black ink news print.😮😅❤
In the US most news print ink is soy based and safe. There was a big campaign to change to that in the early 90s because the previous inks were toxic to the people using them and the environment.
Newspaper... in this day and age? Hmm... maybe an old copy of the yellow pages or the white pages might be a decent stand in... nope, don't have anymore of those. Might have consider the old Encyclopedia Britanicas from 1986, which we never really used... and if that's not enough, i still got a stash of old paper junk mail i can throw in the fire.... some expired Omaha Steak and Burger King coupons i'll never use... one for Domino's Pizza... Little Caesar's... oh, Publisher's Clearing House! There we go!
@@emmymade We got about 5-7 neighborhood weekly newspapers that are 100% free. My bank usually has them in a segmented rack, and deliveries are usually on Thursdays. They're easily a few dozen pages each, with great puzzle-pages, but also let you know what's going on locally. Also at bus stops, at least the bigger ones / transfer points, you might see those newspaper boxes with the pull-down glass door in front. I'm hip-deep in papers I haven't gotten a chance to finish reading.

The slice a slice is for slicing one piece of bread into 2 for very thin bread!
Use the Slice-A -Slice to make two grilled cheeses and then make a burger sandwich with it.
Yum!
Miracle Whip’s claim to fame was not that is a little sweeter but that it was “Zippy” to quote it’s old commercial. 😄
With the cost of printed newspapers today this is no longer as economical as it was originally marketed as. Neat idea back then though.
we did this to get rid of a bunch of old newspapers, it was pretty cool, nothing beats a wood fire though, adds flavour
I use pro-pane. _"Taste the meat, not the heat!"_

Ah, I see. Thinner bread = fewer calories. Some things never change, no?

As soon as you started mixing the Cool Whip into the peanuts, I said, “That looks like natto!”
my immature mind wants to giggle at nut sauce
Mature thing to do is hit delete.

Wouldn't you worry about fumes from the ink?
😋
YES. yes. did i mention yes?
mostly cadmium, but so many others.
but as a professional printer, maybe i'm just silly.

We grew up eating peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwiches..yum!!
I freakin love George Motz 😂❤
I had one of those in the 70’s, it worked quite well, took it on picnics mostly
I want a Skippy burger! Who knew, in the 1990s that newspaper would become obsolete.
Just how I like my burgers...well read.
💀
😂😂😂
Awesome video Emmy!! the newspaper balls! technique was interesting.

Have you done a solar cooker yet?
Holy heck! Memory unlocked with that product.

I would NEVER put peanuts and miracle whip on a hamburger! Emmy is right----comes down to preference.
Miracle whip 😢
Viva Heilman
The burger it looks....nutty
the Slice a Slice is to cut a slice of bread in half to make 2 thinner slices. saw it on another review channel
I'll have to try it out. Hmm...I imagine it would do a good job of it.🤔
Emmy i dont know if you manage that translation thing but the "Spanish emmy" is very good 😁, sounds a lot like you.

Coty’s Lab did a video a while back where he deep fried chicken successfully in bees wax instead of oil. You should try that.
Lol, I got distracted during the nut burger and thought you were adding miracle whipe to ice cream...
Nowadays, people may be able to use cardboard packaging?
I can’t imagine cooking on a newspaper fire. I grew up learning how to cook on a wood fire from an early age. Newspaper is ….not wood. It’s smelly, burns too hot and quick.
Actually it is wood. Wood pulp spread into paper.
@telebubba5527 75% of newsprint is recycled... at some point it was wood but that could have been years ago. It doesn't burn like wood at all. It's like the difference between a chaff of wheat and a Twinkie
I would just use charcoal in the grill lol
Paper is okay but the burning fly always are dangerous lol plus it gives no flavor like treee wood 👍🏾
Love this video

I’ve never liked mayo (or Miracle Whip) on burgers; ketchup and mustard are awesome (with lettuce and an onion ring or two)!
Miracle whip sounds rank, sweet mayo!!

I thought newspaper would make the food toxic. I am interested to see how this goes

@@Christian-is-thriving Oh that's awesome! I had no idea about that.
@@ramdom_assortment I'm still hesitant. Google, for what it's worth, says it releases heavy metals and other toxins.
@@ramdom_assortment They're not toxic to handle but some of the metals release toxic fumes when burned. Not a great idea.
The info comes from several chimney websites. Black and white ink is ok, but not the colored ink.
that nut burger was actually vile
😆

@@lipstickzombie4981 Nah, i'm good... my Aunt left some copies of Readers' Digest, lol!
Miracle whip sucks 💯
The original George Foreman grill was a similar newspaper grill.
We used to have the Quick Cook grill! Just don’t try it for chicken….
Whyyy
@@GGray. it cooks too hot and fast. Burned on the outside, raw inside.
Instant death?
mmm ink...
Curiouser and curiouser😅
Being that newspaper is hard to come by nowadays how would you grill???
I know, right? I'd probably have to resort to collecting supermarket weeklies.

Miracle whip is gross. Use more page 6 for seafood to get a more authentic taste.
so, yeah... yikes AF.
there are a lot of toxic things in newspaper ink.
don't do that.
I've never seen it say 'no views' before! But at least two comments, lol
