Meet the Retro Nostalgia Frankfurter & Bun Toaster

Here's what Amazon says it. The Nostalgia Retro Series Pop-Up Hot Dog Toaster is great for entertaining and as a fast meal solution for the whole family. The large hot dog cage fits two regular-size or extra-plump hot dogs. Adjust the heat setting to cook hot dogs to your preference. Easily remove the hot dog cage and use the included mini tongs for removing the hot dogs. Color: Retro Red.

And the Giz Wiz says: Well, I thought this was a pretty good idea at first; then I used it. Watch the video in this week's show to  see the initial results... like buns not toasted but burned on the edges. Also I found it strange that it includes a metal tong to remove franks or buns from the toaster. (MAKE SURE THE TOASTER IS OFF, OR YOU COULD GET ELECTROCUTED if you touch the elements while it's on.) After making a few more franks, I thought that while adults might think this device is crappy, kids would probably love it. But you need to realize you're buying an appliance that only does one thing: make franks & toast buns, sometimes unevenly. It does get some points for it's looks. It looks smart on the counter, but may end up as a smart-looking dust collector. The price is low! I paid $19.67 for mine, check the link for the current price. You can also buy a version that cooks four franks and four hot dog rolls for under $30.
