Detailed information
Salton's Cook N' StirSalton, who made the Hot and Cold Tray, also made this Cook N' Stir, in about 1984. Dick got his from Hammacher Schlemmer. A self-stirring saucepan with a motorised rotating paddle to cook and stir your sauces, puddings, and naturally, the all-important gravies, while you go and check on the meaning of the "vernal equinox".
Tefal made a similar product called Le Saucier. Still available is the Stir Chef, which does not cook, but sits on top of a saucepan stirring the pot, while the pot itself is being heated on the stove.
Gizmo™
Salton's associated company Black and Decker apparently owns the Gizmo brand. I hope Dick gets his share of royalty on the use of the name.
Dick's Gadget Warehouse ...
... was built in about 1920, Dick reckons, with 7-foot thick stone walls, and built like a fortress. Its size is about 10' x 10' x 10' (see Episode 5, the first Warehouse Friday).
The Jerk Store
Kelly from the Jerkstoppers Store in California wants their Jerkstoppers (Episode 507) back, namely Dick and Leo. A take-off of the Seinfeld Jerk Store.
