Steve Passmore wasn't just a hockey idol, he also was a man. A man with with a hand. A hand that used an Eagle Odyssey blocker. A blocker that I now own.
So I took the blocker from the yard to my kitchen. My kitchen isn't too fancy, just typical small house kitchen with black Kenmore Elete appliances all around. Not Passmore quality by any stretch, but nice enough for someone who buys equipment off ebay.
Doing Dishes:
Honestly, Steve Passmore dosen't do dishes, so why should his glove? I didn't bother with taking any dirty dishes from the filled sink, the blocker board made that hard to do. Plus soapy food filled water and leather gloves are not a clean mix. My only option was to open the dishwasher and see if it was clean or dirty.
The glove opened the dishwasher easily plus I got to see the legendary "Passmore" name as I reach for a clean glass. Kinda feels like Steve Passmore is getting me something to drink... what an honor.
GRADE: B
Cooking In The Oven:
Steve Passmore pwns Betty Crocker. Who does she think she is?
The glove makes grabbing the oven door a breeze. Nothing like the warm air rising out of the oven and passing by Steve Passmore's glove. Is that brownies I smell? No, that's Steve Passmore's blocker I smell. What a treat!
On the downside, the blocker didn't match any of our cooking aprons but the leather palm did allow for quick grabbing of hot items without burning my hand.
Damn that Passmore pinky mod! I have a burnt pinky now. But I guess it's my fault for cooking. Steve Passmore dosen't cook... why should I?
GRADE B+
Can Opening:
This cumbersome task was improved with Steve Passmore's blocker. The pro palm allowed me to grip the opener with greater force than bare hands alone. The glove added protection from any can opener mishaps like cutting my finger with the sharp edged top.
Added coolness is the fact that I get to again see "Passmore" as I open the food. The pro sized board makes counter work easier since I don't bang into the other crap on the counter.
GRADE A-
Fridge Opening:
This wasn't much of a challenge for the glove.
Although obtaining anything from the fridge with the glove on was damn near impossible. Steve Passmore must have personal servants that get him his food right?
GRADE: A+ (For the personal waiter aspect)
