> Wow, I didn't realize it but that family has been selling this stuff for most of my life, and I'm only the age of 37 which we all know. Some relative passed on a used Veg-O-Matic to me and I used it maybe twice. It just really wasn't worth the effort to get the thing out and to clean it afterwards. I have never learned a good knife technique (and I worked on this at one time) nor do I own fancy knifes. I have a couple of carbon steel knifes from a wedding gift and they have served me well. I can't chop like Yan but I seem to manage. We went to the local dive tonight to see the Avs versus the Wings and the guy from next door joined us. He said that he would like to try borscht. I might make a batch of that tomorrow. I don't do it fancy like someone like Victor would, but just the neccessary stuff for a quick beet soup fix. Now, this guy's wife is pregnant and if I give them some borscht I might get something going for the next generation. |

My kids gave it to me for Father's Day sometime back in the 1970s. I'm sure lots of other men ended up with one in much the same way. I've never caught a fish with it and haven't used it in years, but I always take it along on camping trips, thinking I might give it another try. Rich |

Don't laugh, was on fishing trip with Ol'Whiskerface, friend & our boys. *I* caught dinner with my minnie mouse rod (and tackle box with ears). Them flyfishers are catch & release, eat hotdogs for dinner people. Edrena |

I tasted some commercial stuff and was not impressed. I'll have lots of beet trimmin's when I make fancy pickled beets and had planned to freeze up some borscht for mom. Edrena |

His products may not be glamorous but I've yet to find one that didn't perform as promised. The only gizmo that I don't have yet that I'm a bit curious about - but not $20.00 worth LOL - is his 'inside the shell electric egg scrambler. If I were into fishing his Pocket Fisherman would be nice to keep in the car or camper... but I usually picnic or read books during fishing trips. Cyndi |

Don't you have his LP record cleaning system? ;-> I'm 39 and have been laughing at Ronco products for as long as I can remember. Now, since I've found this NG, I'm almost tempted to try the rotisserie but three things are holding me back: 1. Its from the Ronco dude! 2. I just don't have enough space to store it. 3. Its kinda pricey for something I can also do on my grill outside. But, that's just my opinion.
