opinion, please. is this silly or do you want one?

Can't have a bar without a Grill... So here's where we discuss great (and no so great) food. The good, the bad and the "even the dog won't eat it" mistakes of our culinary attempts...

opinion, please. is this silly or do you want one?

i saw an ad for a spatula with a built in light. for outdoor grilling at night. i'm interested in knowing whether y'all think that it's the silliest thing ever or want one.
and still i persist in wondering whether folly must always be our nemesis. edgar pangborn

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun. william shakespeare

No no no!!!
You should have plenty of light when cooking. That's very important.
A spatula with a light is just not going to cut it.

Get a stainless steel spatula that's silicone coated.
They are rated to 600DegF and safe on non stick surfaces.
We just ordered one because I'm tired of the cheaper nylon/glass ones melting.

I think it's a novelty item. I would probably never get one.

With a built-in targeting light? Perfect for squashing the skeeters that land on the burger platter... :ak:

Mostly silly. I might spend $1 or $2 on it, just for the fun, but not more than that.

A spatula with a light without a sound suppressor is a waste of money

it sounds to me as though he wants one. 'i would probably never get one.' what's unsaid - 'but i'd be thrilled if someone got one for me.'
