WE KNOW THE SERVING SIZE
IS ABOUT THREE OF THESE,
CORRECT?
CORRECT?
CORRECT? >> Guest: CORRECT.
>> Host: THE BEST WAY TO
PREMIERE THESE WOULD BE
IN AN AIR FRYER?
>> Guest: AN AIR FRYER
OR A CONVECTION OVEN.
IF YOU WANT IT REAL
CRISPY FOR APPLICATIONS
THAT YOU HAVE FOR HAVING
IT ALONE, THE AIR FRYER
IS THE BEST WAY TO GO.
AND IT IS SO CRISPY WE
ARE OUT OF THE AIR
FRYER.
FRYER.
FRYER. >>
FRYER. >> Host: SO THESE ARE
AUTHENTIC EGG ROLLS.
>> Guest: RIGHT.
>> Host: THE DIFFERENCE
HERE IS THE WAY THESE
ARE MADE AND THE WAY
THEY TASTE.
THEY TASTE. THEY DON'T HAVE FILLERS.
>> Guest: NO.
>> Host: SO YOU ARE
GETTING REALLY THE MEAT
AND THE VEGETABLE ON THE
INSIDE, THE FLAVORS ARE
SO WONDERFUL.
SO WONDERFUL. THEY ARE TASTY.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE SKIN
ON THESE EGG ROLLS.
THAT'S A GREAT CAMERA
SHOT.
SHOT.
SHOT. WE
SHOT. WE HAVE ALL PROBABLY
TASTED AN EGG ROLL AND
USUALLY THE SKIN IS SO
THICK AND CHEWY.

THE SKIN.

IS.

BECAUSE YOU GET TO
APPRECIATE ALL THE
PROTEIN AND THE
VEGETABLES ON THE
INSIDE.
INSIDE.
INSIDE. >> Guest: AND IT IS NICE
AND CRISPY.
AND CRISPY. JUST IMAGINE YOU'RE
COMING HOME FROM WORK,
YOU HAVE SOME FRIENDS
COMING OTHER, RIGHT,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
SERVE?
SERVE?
SERVE? YOU NORMALLY GO TO YOUR
GROCERY STORE, YOU'VE
GOT EGG ROLLS,
DUMPLINGS, THINGS LIKE
THAT, AND YOU GO HOME
AND YOU COOK IT, THE %
FILLING, IT'S NOT TO THE
CORE LIKE THIS.
YOU'RE DIPPING IT IN AND
THE MEAT FALLS OUT, BUT
NOT OURS.
NOT OURS.
NOT OURS. EARLIER YOU WERE SAYING
NO FILLERS, RIGHT?
AND SO WHAT THE BIG
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OURS,
WE DON'T ADD ANYTHING
LIKE TVP AND WE DON'T
ADD ICE.
ADD ICE.
ADD ICE. >> Host: AWE.
>> Guest: A LOT OF
OTHERS, THEY HAVE ICE IN
THERE JUST TO FILL UP
THE WEIGHT, RIGHT?
THIS DOESN'T.
THIS DOESN'T. >> Host: I LOVE IT.
I'VE BEEN HOLDING UP THE
PACKAGING AND I WANT
THEM TO COME BACK TO ME
BECAUSE THIS IS HOW IT
WILL BE SHIPPED.
>> Guest: CORRECT.
>> Host: WE WILL SHIP
THIS TWO DAY GROUND.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
YOU'LL HAVE IT BY THE
END OF THE WEEK.
FREE SHIPPING ON
EVERYTHING IN THIS SHOW.
THESE ARE AVAILABLE ON
FLEXPAY.
FLEXPAY.
FLEXPAY. WHEN WE GET THEM HOME,
DO WE POP THEM IN THE
FREEZER?
FREEZER?
FREEZER? >> Guest: YES, RIGHT IN
THE FREEZER.
THE FREEZER. >> Host: WHEN WE GO TO
COOK THEM, DO WE PUT
THEM IN THE FREEZER OR
DO WE NEED TO LET THEM
DEFROST?
DEFROST?
DEFROST? >> Guest: RIGHT FROM THE
AIR FRYER OR THE OVEN.
WE HAVE A BATCH COMING
OUT OF THE OVEN RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. >>
NOW. >> Host: AWE.
>> Guest: YEAH.
>> Host: I'LL MAKE SOME
ROOM FOR YOU.
>> Guest: YOU WILL COME
HOME AND POP SOME IN THE
OVEN, GET READY FOR YOUR
FRIENDS TO COME OVER.
YOU HAVE A COCKTAIL IN
HAND AND PUT SOME THINGS
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. >> Host: THAT IS WHAT
THESE ARE SO GREAT
ABOUT.
ABOUT.
ABOUT. WE
ABOUT. WE WERE CHATTING A
LITTLE EARLIER ABOUT NOW
FOOD DELIVERY IS SO
EASY, RIGHT?
EASY, RIGHT? YOU HAVE ALL THESE
DELIVERY SERVICES THAT
ARE THERE, BUT ARE YOU
EVER REALLY SATISFIED?
AND OUR GOAL HERE AT
HSN, ESPECIALLY DURING
GOOD EATING WITH MARLO
IS TO PRESENT YOU WITH
FOODS THAT ARE THE
AUTHENTIC FOODS.
AUTHENTIC FOODS. SO MOST PEOPLE HAVE
TRIED AN EGG ROLL, I
WOULD IMAGINE MOST OF
US.
US.
US. HAVE
US. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED
THESE?
THESE?
THESE? LOOK AT THE INSIDE OF
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. REMEMBER WHAT YOUR
CHOICES ARE.
CHOICES ARE. VEGGIE OR 24 OF THE
CHICKEN AND VEGGIE OR
YOU CAN CHOOSE 48 OF THE
PORK AND VEGGIE OR 48 OF
THE CHICKEN AND VEGGIE.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MIX
IT UP, GET WHAT WE ARE
CALLING THE COMBO.
THE COMBO WILL GIVE YOU
24 OF THE PORK AND
VEGGIE, BUT THE COMBO
ALSO GIVES YOU 48.
I MEAN 24 OF THE CHICKEN
AND VEGGIE AS WELL, SO
YOU GET BOTH THE PORK
AND THE CHICKEN WITH THE
COMBO OF 48 COUNT.
THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE
MY PICK.
MY PICK.
MY PICK. THE FLEXPAY IS $12.49.
THE FLEXPAY FOR THE 48
COUNT IS $19.99.
SO IT IS NOT -- IT'S A
DIFFERENCE OF $7.
>> Guest: RIGHT.
>> Host: I WOULD RATHER
GET DOUBLE THE AMOUNT
FOR THE $7 DIFFERENCE IN
THE FLEXPAY PER MONTH.
IT IS JUST A SMART WAY
TO GO.
TO GO.
TO GO. SO
TO GO. SO JUST VISUALLY THE
FRONT PORTION IS WHAT
THE 24 COUNT LOOKS LIKE.
THE 48 COUNT IS GOING TO
BE GREAT FOR A PARTY.
BUT YOU CAN TAKE THESE
OUT AND EAT THESE AS YOU
WILL, RIGHT?
WILL, RIGHT? >> Guest: ANSWER THE
DOOR WITH SOMETHING LIKE
THIS, DING-DONG, YOUR
GUESTS ARE SERVED.
>> Host: THAT'S PERFECT.
>> Guest: YEAH.
>> Host: GIVE US AN IDEA
OF WHAT TYPE OF SAUCES
THESE R.

AN ASIAN SAUCE THAT YOU
CAN GET AT THE GROCERY
STORE.

FOR A GAME.
PUT IT ON A PLATTER LIKE
THIS OUT THERE, RIGHT?
AND THEN PACKED WITH SO
MUCH FLAVOR THAT YOU
REALLY DON'T NEED THE
DIP, BUT IF YOU WANT TO
ADD SOME THINGS, THEN
USE A DIP.
