I'm pretty sure it will grab and lift any meat items you can put in the

If I am around on trash day (Thursday) I can usually tell from the sound of the
hydraulics when the truck stops if it's a solo. Or lack of hydraulic pumps
whining if it's a team.

When did you last see a large corporation fast-track anything? They'd be late
for their own bankruptcy proceedings.

      Title: Glacier Bay Smoked Salmon Omelet
 Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Mushrooms, Dairy
      Yield: 2 servings

      1 tb Melted butter
      6 lg Eggs
        pn Salt
      1 tb Chopped chives
           Pepper
    1/4 c  Alaskan smoked salmon
           Sauteed mushrooms & onions
           Sour cream & capers

  Beat eggs and salt in a bowl until light.

  Heat butter in a skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Roll
  eggs around the pan and cook until the omelet starts to
  set up. Tip pan to the side and lift up the edges so the
  uncooked portion can slip under the set eggs. As eggs
  start to firm up, add the goodies like sauteed onion and
  mushrooms, chopped chives, and the crumbled smoked salmon.
  Fold over the egg mixture so you have a proper 1/2-circle
  omelet.

  Serving your omelet with sour cream and chives is a nice
  choice. Portions vary, based on richness and amount of
  salmon used. Good served with sourdough bread, toasted.
