Cool Gift of the Day
Wednesday, September 07, 2005
What it is:
A pair of special toaster bags that allow for cooking messy and drippy items in the toaster with ease.
Why we love it:
We all know at least one bachelor (or bachelorette) who is so hopelessly inept in the kitchen that they've managed to burn a bowl of Cheerios. At the very best they own one, sad, dingy little frying pan, probably given to them by their parents. Venturing into the kitchen, or worse yet, their refrigerator, is an act of supreme bravery. To them, making dinner isn't an adventure, it's a war.
Today's cool gift isn't fancy, and it isn't flashy, but it is likely to save your kitchen-impaired recipient a lot of money in takeout. Toastabags are a remarkably simple solution to the problem of totally inept cooks. They're heavy, heat-resistant fiberglass bags that can be filled with most things and popped into a traditional toaster to cook. Grilled cheese sandwiches, eggs, just about anything can be, well, warmed, fairly effectively in the toaster with a minimum of fuss. Save your college student or helpless young single from a diet of nothing but Poptarts with this handy, if a bit odd, invention.
Who we'd give it to:
Starving students, anti-cooks, hopeless bachelors, teens.
