WTF: The Toaster Edition
The trusty Cuisinart toaster my mother gave me when I graduated college died this week. I guess that might be a leading indicator that I’m aging… Anyway, as a new mom I suddenly buy everything on Amazon.com (carbon footprint be damned) because I have a Prime account with free shipping. Believe me when I say, someone at Amazon.com knows what they are doing. In looking for a simple straight forward toaster on Amazon this evening, the funky egg toaster is the first thing that popped up. The egg dish some how yucks me out. UPDATE: The on-the-ground report from readers is that this toaster works and the eggs aren’t bad. So, it just goes to show you that you shouldn’t judge a toaster by its egg cup.

i can’t tell if it’s more yuck, or just plain stupid.

Almost as rad as this one:

Clearly, as a nation, our food preparation skills have devolved solely to the toaster level!

What exactly are you yucking about???? The design, the concept, or that you dont like eggs & toast? They’ve sold a gazillion of these, so it cant be too stupid. Seems perfect for a single person on the go.

My boyfriend insisted we buy one of these, and one night it started on its own and almost burned the apartment down. good times, good times…

My husband wanted one BAD for his bday one year, so I got it for him. It does make good Mc-whatevers. He has enjoyed it. It works fine as a toaster.

It’s pretty funny, I would use it if I got it as a gift!

I thought the picture was a joke…surprised to click the link and see that Amazon does indeed sell! Funny.

What a weird idea? Hmm…I love a good, standard toaster. Oh and I LOVE Amazon too…it’s so easy and just plain great.

I still just pop eggs in the microwave for a minute in a small bowl (creates perfectly round egg pattys that fit perfectly on my english muffins!)

sometimes things just shouldn’t be combined…

My toaster has, in that exact spot, a single serve coffee maker. Which I have never used because it seems INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS (pardon the caps) to pour water over a toaster.
Just sayin’.
