The Coolest Toaster Ever Made!

Posted: Nov 28, 11:45 AM

Thanksgiving has come and gone and in my household there is a small tradition we have to help ease the pain of waiting with baited breath for almost a full month until we get our grubby little hands on our presents. What we like to do is give everyone in our house a small gift, what we like to call our “After Turkey Present”. We usually try to make it something under $30USD and it has to be something that is not only totally awesome, but amusing and fun as well. This year the little lady gave me one of the most awesome presents I have ever received. In fact, it is hands down the coolest thing ever! It is more amazing than the Nintendo Wii or even, shall I dare say, more awesome than Installing Linux on a Dead Badger! I know exactly what you’re thinking, “Rocco, what in the world could be more awesome than VüDü Linux?!“ and guess what, it’s a toaster! This isn’t just any toaster though; it makes eggs for you too!

Back to Basics Egg-and-Muffin Toaster and Egg Poacher

This kitchen appliance from heaven functions as a toaster, egg cooker, and meat warmer. It makes a breakfast sandwich in 4 minutes and has wide toaster slots that are perfect for bagels. It also has an automatic shut-off switch for individual toasting and poaching functions and runs on pure magic! Well… I just made up the magic part, but this toaster has definitely revolutionized the way I eat breakfast!

    Oh my god…. you have to be kidding me. Does it make OJ for you too? ;-)

    Alright, I will admit that it’s a pretty cool toaster. I wonder if they have a larger 4 slice and 3 egg version.

    Mira tells me that they had one other at Target, but I can’t find it online. :(

    I’ll try looking again later!
