Yupp, I was thinking the same thing! It's a George Forman grill, I have one in my cupboard. Trying to get into the Christmas gift market too. Also taking advantage of the blue diamond/granite rock craze. SSDD.
I have the big George Foreman with removable plates for ease of cleaning. You can cook 4 good sized chicken breasts on it and it has waffle plates so you can make waffles. It's come in handy pretty often.
Why are we going backwards instead of forward in grill evolution?😂 Come on, they could have put at least the removable plates and a little power switch probably costs 5 cent to them. Great video Viv❤
What’s for dinner? Blanch white chicken with browned dots. Searing? Caramelization? What’s that? Sorry Granitestone, my cast iron skillet still wins and it’s well seasoned so it’s pretty well nonstick. As for those s’mores, if the marshmallows haven’t been properly toasted over direct heat or flame, there’s no flavor. Just my two cents.
I love getting off work and checking phone and seeing a Vivian Tries episode waiting for me. You should do a "then and now" episode and let us know how some of your most favorite products are still holding up.
Cheese will stick. However it shouldn’t stick on a brand new anything. I want them to use that thing for a year or two and then we have a conversation about stick.
Just a fun fact: trypophobia isn’t a recognised phobia as it doesn’t meet the requirements of the emotional or psychosomatic responses that recognised phobias do. Feeling “disgusted” or “grossed out”, isn’t a phobia; it’s a response. Still has biological implications; but it isn’t a recognised phobia. A more adequate title would be “tryporesponsive”. No hate - just pointing it out
I have this company's pans, and I absolutely love them. I can make eggs, wipe the pan out with a paper towel, scrub with soapy water, wipe dry, and there is no eggy smell! I cooked a salmon in it in ten minutes, same thing. Salmon was crisp on the outside, how I like it. Ohh, magical. If I had a need for this, I would buy it, yet I am very satisfied with my pans.
Vivian, my husband and I have the same argument during most of your videos. He thinks you hire someone to do a voice over when you show clips from the actual infomercials. I told him most infomercials are narrated by the same guy. I enjoy your videos and get your humor.
@@shannoncrutchfield4410, it can be at temp and still pale. That browning that’s missing is called the Maillard reaction and it’s what gives browned food its flavor. Without the browning, which they claimed by showing browned food in the infomercial, you might as well boil that bird in plain water because that’s how tasteless it’ll be.
@@ItsJustLisa Yes, I learned all that in culinary school. I mentioned it because I read the tone of your comment to mean u thought it wasn't cooked enough, in response to my comment. Personally, I like it just this way. I have an issue with crunchy textures on certain foods. I'm weird, I know. 🤭 I just make sure I season it well. Oh, and yes, I agree it's definitely not as brown as advertised in the infomercial.
Fried cheddar cheese on a griddle until brown and crispy is delish..like the sudes of a grilled cheese sandwich that dripped out and was on the pan & crust..yum..
I want to know how those infomercial folks make any money. Seems to me everything they sell is either an inferior copy or just plain crap. Or both, in fact mainly both. Well done VT for exposing these rascals. Not all superheroes wear capes.👍👏😊🇬🇧
Oh wow, finally somthing I can melt my cheese in without it sticking. That has always been such a problem. LMAO thank you Vivian, yet another great video. Love from Australia, oxox.
That thing looks like a medieval food torture device- "Hang on Reginald, I must throw our chunked flesh of bovine in our heated Iron Maiden to sear and tenderize it in time so we can eat supper before we head down to our torture chamber for some bonding time.'
I put a piece of newspaper in bowls and jars when they have a garlic / onion smell after washing . I bet you could put one in that thingie when you store it and the shrimp smell would be absorbed . Of course you give things a quick wash after having the newspaper inside .. I want one of those grills !! 💞😊💞
I love how they just poked some holes in the top of the burger and pretended they lifted the lid off of it like that cheese wouldn't have been torn tf up
Have you ever thought about doing a Vivian Tries Life Hacks videos? I see life hacks all over the internet and it would be really cool if you put a bunch of them to the test!
Oh snap I get to see a new video = ) Here's a Hint from the informercial everything is color corrected so the items looks very appealing to the buying public. I know this so I'm passing the secret.
Vivian: You might have mentioned this before, but ddo these companies ever reach out to you after you give them feedback like this and try to correct you?
I’m so glad I found your channel when I did lol you’ve really helped my mental the past 2 days by making me crack up. Wish you were my tia or sister or something lol
I think you pour a little water on the still plugged in grill I do that with my george foreman grill and it usually helps clean off most things. This would be great for cooking bacon, but not so good with eggs my GF grill is making me bacon and eggs for breakfast and it was $20.00 at bedbathandbeyond and wipes down with papertowels
hey @vivian tries girrrrrl i have a question for you :) we have been buying a lot on amazon lately and get tons of mails to review stuff for free ... the thing is, it sounds interesting but they ask you to buy it and get a refund as soon as i reviewed it? idk if you ever had a mail like that and tried it. im VERY hesitant to try it (i dont want to think to try something for free and end up just that i bought it :) )
Hello thank you for all your videos they are fantastic! Please please test a ninja foodie frying pan. They apparently have a new set of non stick pots and pans out. I just want one of them lol. Just a frying pan that actually lasts for more than 6 months.
It for the most does look similar to a George Foreman and all grills out on the market. Look at this way this sure gives a a whole new other name to your food, Holy Roller Food!
Love your videos... if you happen to come across the "Easy Kabob" during your shopping I'd love to see it tried on your channel! Such a strange gadget but I'm dying to know it works and if it's worth the money.
not gonna lie, I would have eaten that giant cheese crisp
Def
If i had to guess, the spikes are a way to make it just different enough so they dont need to pay george foreman any royalties xD
I thought the same. I still have my small george foreman grill
😅😅😅
Yupp, I was thinking the same thing! It's a George Forman grill, I have one in my cupboard. Trying to get into the Christmas gift market too. Also taking advantage of the blue diamond/granite rock craze.
SSDD.
Thats what I came to the comments for. Thought the same thing.
I have the big George Foreman with removable plates for ease of cleaning. You can cook 4 good sized chicken breasts on it and it has waffle plates so you can make waffles. It's come in handy pretty often.
You could make polka-dotted grilled cheese sandwiches! OR, you could save $40 and live without the polka-dots.
Who gave our Vivian a downvote? My money is on the people at GraniteStone!
Why are we going backwards instead of forward in grill evolution?😂 Come on, they could have put at least the removable plates and a little power switch probably costs 5 cent to them. Great video Viv❤
They should have called it "The Iron Maidan Grill".
Lol this is a great idea
YEEESSSS..lol

You have my vote!
It's a waffle iron with spikes! :)
🤣🤣🤣
I love watching you with my 12 year old daughter Sami! We rate everything with Vivan heads! We're trying to become MF'n professionals!
I rate things too, it’s brilliant
This thing looks like a George Foreman grill without the spikes.
Great minds think alike.
Thank you soooo much for always taking one for the team & testing these products out! You don’t understand how much it’s appreciated ❤️
I'm so mad at myself. @9:40 You said close your eyes and I did, LMAO 🤣
Same!! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🧡
It’s Big Block of Cheese Day! Leo would be so proud.
I love getting off work and checking phone and seeing a Vivian Tries episode waiting for me. You should do a "then and now" episode and let us know how some of your most favorite products are still holding up.
Where did you get those Vivian Emoji’s??
@@S.E.C-R if you are a paid subscriber you get them to attach to your comments
@@Mrs_2556 I had no idea... you mean paid subscriber to Vivians channel or TH-cam as a whole?
@@S.E.C-R paid subscriber to Vivian
@@Mrs_2556 Thank you!!
Even my old ass George Forman grill had a timer and power levels
I don't see this as being any better than the other type of grill - one has grill lines, this one has spikes - I think I prefer the grill lines
If the spikes pierce the food, won't that release all the juices during cooking?
Hello I'm a cook and yes your right you should never pierce meat because it will release all the juices.
You’re right. I was thinking the same thing.
Cheese will stick. However it shouldn’t stick on a brand new anything. I want them to use that thing for a year or two and then we have a conversation about stick.
This thing's gonna give trypophobiacs nightmares 😂
It certainly did. I got chills throughout the video lmaooo

So excited to watch my good friend Viv!

They should make a mini version of that to take on the cruise. Midnight poptarts 🤣👍
Love your t-shirt! I need one of those!
My guy got no replysssszzz
*So you should Buy one*
how i get a good moment in my life Vivian Tries is the answer
how are you sapose to get it clean after cooking?? I dont have a sprayer . Would you just put running water over it?? im so confused
Mmmm, I'm kinda on the fence with this one. It didn't seem too bad. I agree with pros and the cons u pointed out. Thank u for sharing, as always. 💜🌞
That chicken seemed pretty pale to me.
@@ItsJustLisa She cooked it to perfect temp. I guess if u like it more brown, cook it a bit more.
@@shannoncrutchfield4410, it can be at temp and still pale. That browning that’s missing is called the Maillard reaction and it’s what gives browned food its flavor.

Heeeeyyyyyyyyyyy it’s ya girl Cathy. You wait I’m come up a version INFUUUUUSED WITH COPPAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Now I want grilled cheese! Also, her face when she says "smells like...seafood"...that's the same face I make when I smell seafood! Love you, Vivian!
I was ridiculously happy to see a picture of Jedi 😊
The George Forman reinvented🤦🏾♀️
gjoraya Yep, that’s the exact feeling I had!
Vivian, if you are eating cheese that is made from oil you are eating cheese product and not real cheese. Real cheese is dairy only. :)
Glad u said this
What a day.....I found myself hoping that there would be a Vivian vid...and YES...there was! Luv U!
It's basically a punk rock George Foreman grill.
Love watching u before work. Girl!! U make me laugh😂🥰
I want to know how those infomercial folks make any money. Seems to me everything they sell is either an inferior copy or just plain crap. Or both, in fact mainly both. Well done VT for exposing these rascals. Not all superheroes wear capes.👍👏😊🇬🇧
The cheese! Now I am going to do that with my George. I love baked crispy cheese!
Oh wow, finally somthing I can melt my cheese in without it sticking. That has always been such a problem. LMAO thank you Vivian, yet another great video. Love from Australia, oxox.
Seriously I had to laugh at that part of the commercial.
Nope they lost me without removable plates.
I'm seriously concerned about running water over an electric appliance to clean it.
Same
I almost always know how many Vivian heads you're going to give items. Still loving your reviews!
When something random is recommended to you and it's exactly what you needed in life.
That thing looks like a medieval food torture device- "Hang on Reginald, I must throw our chunked flesh of bovine in our heated Iron Maiden to sear and tenderize it in time so we can eat supper before we head down to our torture chamber for some bonding time.'
Kind of a mini-Iron Maiden.
It's a George Forman grill with spikes!! As seen on TV items only cool because of you....😋
honestly even with nonstick pans I still spray with cooking spray just in case....all food you see are always staged and not even the real deal!
Spikes. Just another gimmick to bump the George Foreman grill outta line.
Love you Vivian, your videos always make me smile :) stay fabulous. Xx
Same here!!☺ I just love her!!❤
I so look forward to your videos! You always make me laugh! Keep up the good work!
😊 thanks
On the smores test, should you have used minature marshmallows ? On these types of grills, I use a power wand with an off switch.
Hi vivian I liked the grill cool love your videos helps me alot take care cant wait for more your fan phil
you should have tested a Forman grill at the same time.
That thing is corny looking AF. You’ll be seeing those on the clearance rack. Sure isn’t worth $40.
It's rare that I watch a recommended vid but I must say Vivian ur alright with me lol👍🏾☮&💖✌🏾
I put a piece of newspaper in bowls and jars when they have a garlic / onion smell after washing . I bet you could put one in that thingie when you store it and the shrimp smell would be absorbed . Of course you give things a quick wash after having the newspaper inside ..
I want one of those grills !! 💞😊💞
That looks like a jacked up George Foreman Grill I give it and F! I agree with Viv Give it a timer and on and off switch!!!
Would love to have seen you do all of these tests side by side with a Foreman grill.
Just found your site, love your sense of humor
It’s a crappy day here is PA. So happy to see your face! ❤️
That is the driest chicken I've seen... 🤣
I love how they just poked some holes in the top of the burger and pretended they lifted the lid off of it like that cheese wouldn't have been torn tf up
Have you ever thought about doing a Vivian Tries Life Hacks videos? I see life hacks all over the internet and it would be really cool if you put a bunch of them to the test!
I get so excited about new videos from you! My boyfriend started using your fungalitus phrase haha. Keep up the awesome videos! :D
You should totally do a Vivian tries for Puerto Rican based items
Pretty sure your sandwich press could do that
I'll stick with my George Forman grill that was under $20 and actually grills properly.
Those spikes make me think of some torture device from the Spanish Inquisition. Then what you get is "holy" food. Mission accomplished!
Oh snap I get to see a new video = ) Here's a Hint from the informercial everything is color corrected so the items looks very appealing to the buying public. I know this so I'm passing the secret.
Agree George Foreman!!!!!!! They all are crazy!!!
How is this not just a George Foreman grill?? 😂
The Foreman is a lot better. George put out good stuff, and that’s why they’re still selling.
It's not nearly the quality of a Foreman. The spikes probably are an effort to avoid a patent suit.
Spikes will cause the juices to drain out.
Gordon Ramsay tells you to flip w tongs
Jedi is super cute.
Vivian: You might have mentioned this before, but ddo these companies ever reach out to you after you give them feedback like this and try to correct you?
Love your videos!
I can't wait to watch this tonight!🙏
I’m so glad I found your channel when I did lol you’ve really helped my mental the past 2 days by making me crack up. Wish you were my tia or sister or something lol
Another great video! Jedi is so cute!
Do you think it's better than any others ones like George Forman?
I think you pour a little water on the still plugged in grill I do that with my george foreman grill and it usually helps clean off most things. This would be great for cooking bacon, but not so good with eggs my GF grill is making me bacon and eggs for breakfast and it was $20.00 at bedbathandbeyond and wipes down with papertowels
These As Seen On TV products aren’t even trying anymore. I’m late night channel surfing and I’m not stopping to watch this infomercial, click.
hey @vivian tries girrrrrl i have a question for you :) we have been buying a lot on amazon lately and get tons of mails to review stuff for free ... the thing is, it sounds interesting but they ask you to buy it and get a refund as soon as i reviewed it? idk if you ever had a mail like that and tried it. im VERY hesitant to try it (i dont want to think to try something for free and end up just that i bought it :) )
It’s like a funky version of the George Foreman and that one comes in different sizes
That melted cheese. 😍 💙
The spikes are there to keep the food from sliding around
I think if the spikes went right through, the meat would lose a lot of it's juice and be dry.
did you notice the spike pattern on the perfectly cooked food doesn't match the spike pattern of the grill in most of the tv shots.
Did you see QVC has a TSV for your ninja air fryer toaster oven? It’s $169 in three different colors with a bunch of extras I believe.
Hello thank you for all your videos they are fantastic!
Please please test a ninja foodie frying pan.
They apparently have a new set of non stick pots and pans out.
I just want one of them lol. Just a frying pan that actually lasts for more than 6 months.
Hey Mo Pho Pro 👋,
Do you think the spikes are to keep from being sued by George Forman?
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Woohoo Vivian is on🎊🥰
Yay!!☺🎉
My George gorman still work just fine even though I don't use it alot.
It for the most does look similar to a George Foreman and all grills out on the market. Look at this way this sure gives a a whole new other name to your food, Holy Roller Food!
Always good for a laugh!!😂 Thanks for sharing!!❤✨
Who would dislike this video????!!!
Ok ummm no thanks! As always thanks Viv!! Not wasting money! Have you checked out the stackable pot and pans or the Foodi pans?
New sub and I definitely will watch your content I love your energy
They have the blue granite cookware set out, now.
Well heck now I know that I do not need that grill. Thanks 👍👍
Frozen shrimp should cook in under 7 minutes, no matter what size or how you cook it.
Love your videos... if you happen to come across the "Easy Kabob" during your shopping I'd love to see it tried on your channel! Such a strange gadget but I'm dying to know it works and if it's worth the money.
