The Weird and Wacky (But Awesome) Appliances
When it comes to your modern kitchen appliances, don’t be afraid to think a little bit outside the box. Whether it’s an appliance that helps you satisfy your sweet tooth or one that just makes cooking your favorite breakfast easier, here are some of the best wacky kitchen gadgets on the market today.
The Kitchen Top Hearty Breakfast Sandwich Maker is perfect for those that love a big breakfast in the morning but have a hard time finding the energy to actually make it. To say that it is over the top would be an understatement. It’s big and will probably take up a good chunk of space in your kitchen. BUT, if you love breakfast sandwiches (and who doesn’t?), then this might be a fun and wacky investment for your kitchen.
The Automatic Mini Donut Factory is actually a pretty cute appliance that is baked in nostalgia. The ability to make dozens of mini donuts on command is quite dangerous, but breaking this bad boy out only for birthdays or other special occasions can help you avoid overindulgence. With this fun little appliance, you can bring the smells and tastes of the state fair home with you!
Love soft pretzels? Then the Smart Planet SPM-2 SuperPretzel Soft Pretzel Maker is for you. Another appliance that is probably best reserved for special occasions, you can enjoy everyone’s favorite bar snack whenever you want! (Again, probably best reserved for special occasions. Too many soft pretzels cannot be good for your health).
Okay. This one is just downright awesome—especially if you have someone in your family who is a big Star Wars fan. The Star Wars R2D2 Toaster is a fully operational toaster that possesses some neat features. This includes the ability to chirp and blink in a 10-second sound sequence when toasting (might want to mute the little guy early in the morning), a holographic projector illuminates the toaster body during toasting, and two wide slots accommodate bagels, english muffins, and thick slices of bread.
We know, we know—we should stop tempting you with all these unhealthy kitchen appliances—but we have one more on this list that those who have sweet tooths should consider. The Electric Tabletop S’mores Maker for Indoors is perfect for those nights when it’s raining outside, and the camping trip has been canceled. Bring the camping traditions inside with this safe tabletop s’mores maker!
Hey, our furry friends deserve to have a little fun in the kitchen too! The Dash Dog Treat Maker allows you to make homemade treats for your dog with ease. For dog owners that love to spoil their dog, this is the perfect kitchen appliance for you. The countertop cooker comes with recipes for drool-worthy dog treats, including Peanut Butter Pumpkin, Cheddar Bacon, Chicken and Wild Rice, and Grain-Free Greenies.
This kitchen appliance isn’t wacky or weird, but we felt we should offset some of the more unhealthy options on this list with the NutriBullet Pro. It’s a very highly-rated blender that comes in all-matte (oooh fancy). With seven colors to choose from, the NutriBullet Pro personal blender allows you to fuel up for the day or post-workout by deciding what goes in to get the most out of every ingredient.
The options for modern appliances are nearly limitless. Just remember to choose appliances that fit your kitchen’s overall design to create a consistent look throughout!
