Speaking of useless potentially useful...
So you want an Egg McMuffin. I don't blame you, they are delicious that's for sure. But do you want one badly enough and often enough to buy a piece of gear designed solely to make Egg McMuffins?
You put some water, an egg, a sausage patty or round of Canadian bacon and a split English muffin in this Egg and Muffin Toaster from Back to Basics and before you know it - bam! You've got McMuffin-like goodness. (Once you add a slice of American cheesy goodness, of course).
Clearly, this is a ridiculous device. Sure, you could use the toaster portion as just a toaster, and the egg poacher is nice for those of us who can't poach an egg consistently to save our lives, but - Well, now wait a minute.
Easy poached eggs whenever you want, eh? Hmmmmm... Maybe, just maybe I-
OK for Pete's sake don't let me buy this thing. I have no place to put it and it would end up next to the bread machine in the "objects collecting dust" portion of the kitchen.

I can't stop laughing! This has got to be about as useful as one of those hot-dog maker and corn poppers:

Oh dear! That's just too funny! I'd be tempted to buy it just for it's egg-poaching qualities too!

As stupid as this is, the Dork Fork (pizza-cutter) takes the cake for the dumbest invention I've seen in a long time.

But can it make Hollandaise sauce? If so, I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!! (Please pass the Canadian bacon...)
