Make a USB barbecue

Food hacks can be simple or complex, and this miniature tabletop grill made with a USB hookup tends towards the complex end, however it is the perfect experiment for anyone who ever felt that their inability to have shabu shabu while typing was making their life less fulfilling. Found at the MAKEzine blog, the original device was documented on a Japanese website, so those of us who aren't fluent will have to trip through the translated instructions instead of the original version if we want to make our own. Apparently, the meat tasted of "just a little electronic part" but that seems like a small sacrifice for not having to get up to cook or eat.

Of course, here at Slashfood we all know that anyone can get a George Foreman griddle for less than $40. Personally I love my Cuisinart Griddler ($129) but I keep it away from my computer.
