Meet the Rollie: Vegan Vertical Cooking Technology

Panda With Cookie headquarters has a long standing fascination with As Seen On TV products, dating back to the days of the Ronco brand food dehydrator. I loved watching those half hour segments of endlessly dehydrating fruit or roasting chicken or ribs or vegetables. Versatility! Just set it and forget it! And though long quiet, I still love the Semicircular Vegan blog. I thought it brilliant to veganize recipes for the GT Xpress and when I found a more recent As Seen On TV invention I knew I had to try my hand at it.

I present to you, dear reader, the Rollie!

rollieIt is the latest from Kalorik industries, and introduces us to Vertical Cooking Technology. The Rollie is primarily used in the introductory infomercial as an egg cooking device. But I saw that as a challenge and thought I would try to create some fabulous  vegan recipes that use patented Vertical Cooking Technology.

rollieThe Rollie comes with

-a few wooden skewers which are essential for pulling out your rolled food as it rises up like the Great Pumpkin over the pumpkin patch on Halloween night

-a plastic tamping stick for tamping down the filling to ensure proper cooking density

-a cleaning brush to make sure your Rollie stays in pristine condition, ready at a moment’s notice to produce some fine pancake sausage wraps

rollie brushThe Rollie comes with a handy recipe guide and I will be veganizing some of those as well as coming up with some of my own culinary creations. I will be documenting all my experiments here on the blog and I hope you will follow along. Have some suggestions for foods you think will cook well in the Rollie? Have you made the best dang vegan quiche ever in your Rollie?  Leave me a comment and let me know!
