Pros: Super easy to use, fast clean up, yummy breakfast
Cons: Larger than your average toaster
A couple of months ago, hubby saw an ad for the Back-To-Basics Toaster and Egg Cooker. "LOOK AT THIS! ISN'T IT COOL?!" I did my patented roll-eyes in the back of my head look and said "Sure....". Repeat this scenario several times over the course of ...

Makes Great Breakfast Sandwiches - But even more impressive, just great eggs and toast

by cathyanne1 , Mar 14 '06
Pros: Works exactly as advertised, perfect results every time. Golden Arches? Who needs em?
Cons: None here. People with large families may be arguing about who gets to go first!
I am a gadget fanatic and an egg fanatic, so when I saw this on a "best-seller" list at Amazon.com I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Naturally, I expected to read nothing but bad reviews about the product being a gimmick, not working properly, ...

Works great but made of fragile brittle plastic

by omnibus , Apr 23 '06
Pros: Works as advertised
Cons: Two plastic parts broke in normal use
Being the veteran gadget freak that I am and often having to leave the house for work at 4 a.m., long before the convenience stores open, I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough to order one of these. The UPS truck showed up at my door in record ...

Pros: Perfect eggs, perfect toast, set it and forget it for a perfect breakfast every morning.
Cons: Only cooks one egg at a time; not for hungry families or hearty appetites.
When I said that I wanted this appliance for Christmas, my family laughed. I had to convince them that I was serious. I am so glad they believed me, because it is one of my all time favorite gifts. Not only is it something that I use every single day, ...

Great Breakfast with little effort

Pros: Just a little larger then a regular toaster, very convenient and a great time saver.

Pros: Simple to use, Simple to clean. Makes a sandwich quick. Takes up little space.
Cons: None!
I love devices that simplify my life. This does just that. While the commercials do say that this device cooks a sandwich in 4 minutes, I find that it's really closer to 8. It is almost as easy to clean as the commercials say. I have also noticed ...

Perfect Toast, Perfect Egg
by pezcop ,Mar 08 '06
Pros: Perfect Toast - Perfect Eggs
Cons: Didn't do well with English Muffins
