Kitchen Gadget Question

[sraun]

Anyone have any experience with this appliance - Back To Basics Egg N' Muffin Toaster? The two customer reviews at target.com are glowing. The write-up included confirmation of an assumption - I had assumed I could used scrambled eggs / egg substitute.

From what I can tell, it's basically an automagic generic Egg McMuffin maker. I did some checking at the grocery store yesterday - in small quantities, I can get the English Muffin, Canadian Bacon, pre-sliced cheese and egg product for right around a dollar - this is somewhere in the $0.50 to $1.50 cheaper than what I can find to microwave that makes an acceptable breakfast, and I can get 25% calories from fat, versus the 50% (if I'm lucky) calories from fat for the microwaveable stuff. I assume I'd be able to beat that unit cost if I buy stuff in larger quantities.

It's about the limit for the amount of work I'll put into week-day breakfast. It would be a definite win in terms of the healthiness of the breakfast I eat. We're very likely to get one sometime before the end of the month, unless I hear something really awful.

radparker got one of those for Christmas and brought it in to work. It is currently sitting in ande2713's cubicle (the cubicle next to mine) because she's using it the most. The one English muffin and egg product sandwich that I had from it was OK. The egg was a little underdone for my taste but, as laurel will tell you, I tend to like my egg done a little more than most folks.

What a wonderful idea to have it at work! Depending on sraun's review, I may buy one. If work lets me, I'm parking it in my cube. Yum.
