OMG thanks Boing. I totally forgot about the ‘broil’ setting on my oven.
Now, I don’t have to bother with that button to push and just make room on the counter top for this useless thing. No more adjusting oven racks for me, I’m just a button push away from perfectly broiled steak.

It is propane, so I don’t think you would be using it in your kitchen anyway.
There are several companies making propane steak ovens like this, mainly for a lot less money, though TBH if I were even slightly interested in buying one I would strongly consider getting this one just for the safety factor, since it is manufactured in Germany. The extra $300 is cheap compared to the cost of replacing my house.

Is end stage capitalism when SkyMall, Amazon, and Alibaba become self aware and merge forming a machine of ordering and delivering prosucts without you even being aware?

I could see something like this happen… algorithms getting stuck in a loop of ordering stuff from each other, human management not stepping in because this increases revenue, market capitalisation and, of course, bonuses.

Yes because when I think Safety and Ovens. Germany is the first thing that pops into mind.
Interesting. I can’t imagine how much time and money I’ve wasted using my $15 cast iron skillet to sear my steaks for 5 minutes per side. And then there is the chore of getting rid of that disgusting (I mean delicious) pan sauce I make after searing the meat.
Clearly I’ve been doing the wrong thing.
