Back to Basics Egg & Muffin Toaster really works!

The Return of Breakfast!

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

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,... read entire review

  • 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!
  • The Bottom Line: If you love egg sandwiches, or just eggs in general, run, don't walk, to your nearest retailer. This is one gimmicky looking product that really lives up to its promises.

Works great but made of fragile brittle plastic

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... read entire review

  • Pros: Works as advertised
  • Cons: Two plastic parts broke in normal use
  • The Bottom Line: Strong enough performer to serve as your primary toaster but oh so much more.

Makes My Mornings Sunny Side Up!

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,... read entire review
