Just to be contrarian... I know, this is a blog about the love of gadgets. But this one... when I think about manufacturing it in some far-flung corner of the universe, shipping it to my local Big Box O' Stuff store, and selling it to me (complete with non biodegradeable plastic bag) for $29.95... kinda makes you wonder. I have a toaster. I have pans. I have no space on the counter, since it's already full of other gadgets (coffee maker, grinder, etc.) Do I really need this one? It reminds me of the hot dog machine in the Sky Mall magazine... looks like a toaster for warming hot dog buns and cooking the dog.
I mean, it's cool and all. Maybe great if I lived in a college dorm room with no kitchen. But I think I can give this one a miss.
