The world of gadgetry is awash with things you don’t need, and we thusly ignore.
Era-defining computery phoney things, TVs bigger than the studio sets on which programs were recorded, crude smashings together of three letter acronyms to bring together previously useless whizbangery into ever-more-unimpressive, disposable plastic geewhizzery – most of the time, we couldn’t care less.
Until a gizmo proves itself worthy of our attention through its style, usefulness, innovation and a certain je ne sais quoi, we don’t care.
Today, however, we saw a piece of convergence gadgetry so amazing it may eclipse every other consumer electronics announcement this year. For us, at least.
The egg poaching toaster is every passionate breakfasters dreams come true – in four minutes flat.
The wide-mouth unit perfectly toasts two slices of bread, an English muffin, a bagel, or a croissant, while simultaneously poaching or steam-scrambling an egg. An egg-toast setting automatically schedules the eggs and toast to be ready at the same time, and the device comes with a warming tray to steam heat pre-cooked breakfast meats.
The sad news? It’s sold out. Forget those high-demand game consoles, point me at the ‘egg toaster’ line and I’ll just wait patiently until they arrive.
