As I was waiting for Cory to call me about our weekly Old Man Breakfast Invitational. I was absentmindedly considering finding a replacement toaster. I had accidentally thrown out my old one a few months ago (I had glued eyes on it- many of my kitchen have eyes, it was a Pee-Wee Herman thing). I was hoping to find either a really old one or a nice one or something. And then I found this:

“Hotdog Toaster – $20 (NW Portland)

The Pop-Up Hot Dog Cooker.

Operating much like a pop-up toaster, this unique kitchen appliance lets you easily prepare two hot dogs (complete with heated buns) in minutes. Its 660-watt electronic heating coil has time settings for heating hot dogs and buns to your taste preference. Crumb basket removes for cleaning. “

I have been obsessed about this thing all day! I don’t want to buy it, but I want to read the manual. Some guy had to try and not be dirty when he wrote about how to put hot dogs in the hole. Also, can this be remotely sanitary? Don’t you have to clean things that you cook meat on/in extremely regularly?
