Be afraid. Be very afraid. The personal pie maker makes individual sized pies in less than ten minutes. I’m obligated to quote Jim Gaffigan: “Oh, I’ll just have one or twelve. They’re so small, they hardly even count. They’re like [pie] vitamins.” He was actually referring to mini muffins, but with all of the other brilliant (read: dangerous) kitchen appliances from the company responsible for the Personal Pie Maker, SmartPlanet, you won’t be at a shortage for any tempting treat, miniature or otherwise.
Cling to your vegetables, folks. That, or simply succumb to the magnetic allure of these life-simplifying devices that fall under the same subcategory of “convenient” as Betty Crocker Warm Delights. But I can sit here and sensationalize all I want — the best thing to do is look… at all the gadgets for your dietary amusement.
They call them home innovations. I call them ticking time bombs of temptation. What’s your take on having a device specifically for making yourself tiny pies?!

Damn. I need all these “maker” machines. Bake sales would be a breeze!

They are a pain to clean!

I have the circus waffle maker! Bought it at Urban Outfitters. Not sure if the other mini appliances are there. It’s difficult to make though, trying to get the batter to the elephant’s trunk, you kind of have to make the batter thin. There’s no timer, you kind of just have to wait until you see steam coming out. No temp changer either… But they’re small waffles so if you have one or two you don’t feel so guilty lol.
@SweetNGuilty@xanga - They
are! I wish the heating plates could just pop out. If you have the original
George Foreman grills, you’ll know how that is. I used it about 3-4 times. It’s just a whole process.

Knowing me I would buy one maker, like the pie one, and make all the other ones possible in it which is most.
guest
I would totally buy these makers. Also, they come in pretty colors so it just makes them all the more awesome. Sigh, marketing.

PIE MAKER?
YESYESYES!!

While I think all those mini dessert/treat makers are super cute, I hate to think that there is no room in my kitchen to store all of them…especially since they are all used for only one function. Will be sticking to my muffin tins and oven.

Why would someone clutter up their kitchen with a million useless appliances, when you can make most of those things in an oven, using trays? I mean, we have a LOT of cabinet space in our kitchen, and there’s still no room for all of that stuff. The breakfast maker seems kind of useful, because it’s a toaster oven and coffeemaker combined, so it might save space, and the waffle maker, though I personally wouldn’t go through the effort of making homemade waffles enough to warrant buying one – I prefer eggs for breakfast. As for the donuts, mini cupcakes, mini pies, etc, it makes so much more sense to just buy baking trays made for these items and use your oven. Even the brownie bars, you can buy trays now that divide the brownies up so every brownie has four edges. We do have one of these, a quesadilla maker that my ex-boyfriend gave my mother as a gift. It’s been sitting in our basement collecting dust for 5 years, because we can easily make quesadillas in a frying pan, and then just stick the frying pan in the dishwasher instead of scrubbing it clean. And those things are a pain in the arse to clean – I had a George Foreman countertop grill in college, and I ended up only using it occasionally because it was so annoying to clean.
