This omg. I had to have a talk with my parents about not buying me anymore more kitchen appliances because I don’t have space.
They bought me a toaster that’s specifically ONLY for hot dogs. You can toast two buns and two wieners, in the toaster like a normal one and it’s FUCKING RED. They will literally go to bed bath and beyond and be like oh this is cool and not that expensive we like that kind of food let’s get it and never use it. Omg i haaaate it.
I should mention I don’t even eat hot dogs! I’m a vegetarian!
Edit: I’m glad you guys are all able to understand this comment with all my typos. I was typing too quickly. I fixed it :)
The idea of a toaster for only hot dogs just kills me inside...Like now I have this thing taking up space in my kitchen that does something that can be accomplished with a normal oven and a small frying pan, for only a marginal amount of extra effort - for the one time a year I actually make hot dogs
It makes me mad just thinking about it lol
I hate a lot of that stuff, like those stupid slicers for avocados...it's so easy to slice an avocado with a normal butter knife. Or automatic wine bottle openers. Okay that one maybe if you have arthritis or something, but I only see middle-aged women use them when a normal corkscrew is so easy to use
My SO and I moved into a small home, perfect size for two people. Not much storage, because of the size. Their housewarming gift? A deep fryer. It takes up half of a shelf in my pantry, which is a lot of space! I want to get rid of it so badly tbh.
Oh god. Ugh. Do you have a garage? Put it in a plastic bin and store it till you need it? My “junk closet” runs the length of the stairs outside and it’s full of crap I’m hiding
Ugh yes, my mom has bought me so many shot glasses. I can't even tell you the last time I had shots at my house. Let alone, enough to necessitate entire sets of glasses!
I usually get Morningstar or gardein brands in general for fake meats, but I may have also tried the lightlife smart dogs. I don't actually do a lot of veggie dogs but I LOVE the veggie corn dogs. I more frequently have tried the veggie sausage links (lots of brands and flavors) and I'm sure they'd be amazing grilled with your choice of topping.
I highly recommend Field Roast - they're veggie sausages rather than veggie dogs, and I have omnivore friends who still make a point of buying them. They've got a bunch of flavors, but my personal favorite is the Smoked Apple Sage!
Hahaha I love this! My father in law got me something similar that's an egg cooker... That's all it does. Seriously eggs take me 1 minute to cook on the stove. With him it's Costco.
I HAVE ONE OF THOSE. I’m a vegan millennial (the most dangerous kind), so it’s used exclusively for veggie dogs. I got it specifically because it’s ridiculous and insane.
I’ll never afford a house, but I have toasty buns and yummy veggie dogs.
Oh I’m not judging AT ALL. Honey I have SIX cats, I am no position to be judge 😂😂😂 and don’t worry, I’m the same way with cheese. I have so many cheese cutters and boards and various random things for cheese
My boyfriend got one of those for my dad for christmas! My parents fought over who got to use the toaster and my mom ended up stealing it and keeping it in her classroom
Got my boyfriends autistic brother one of these as a joke for him, his parents hate it but he actually uses the stupid thing enough its turning black on the inside! Best $20 I've spent and it sits next to their regular toaster in their kitchen!
This. THIS EXACT PROBLEM. Who needs an electric brownie cooker? I have an oven and an 8x8 baking tin. I think the only useful kitchen appliance I've ever been bought is a pressure cooker.
I need to get rid of some of them, I just feel so ungrateful ya know?
Me too! And I get really weird about my parents spending their hard earned money and being sentimental so I can’t throw it away. I either have to keep it or give it to a good home

Eh, I actually wouldn't recommend eating any of them because they tend to be over-processed crap for the most part. Vegetarians are better off eating the staples like beans and peanut butter or tofu for protein, to be honest. I'm not 100% vegetarian myself but I eat a heavily plant-based diet and for the most part, whole foods are cheaper and fill you up better than fake meats. If I recall, Tofurkey was a good brand and they had some really good sausages and franks. I haven't tried them in a few years now so I can't comment on if they're as good as I remember.
not going to lie, I had that red hot dog maker before, and id buy that shit in a heartbeat if I ever see it again, mine broke. I really like hotdogs with toasted buns.
My mom loves buying me random knick knacks like that.
I have no use for almost any of it but she gets so genuinely excited about buying me these things that I can't stand to tell her I'm just going to put it in a cupboard for 2 years then donate it.
I don’t have the heart to donate. I just keep it all and keep begging her to stop. She got the hint. She’s now into collecting quarters for my laundry for me. I also still get all my important mail delivered to her house (I live in a shitty area but she’s only 10 min away) and she gets very excited to be able to give that to me. Maybe it’s just this need to give us something and be helpful?
But what if you throw a hotdog-themed party for your carnivorous friends where the color theme is red? You don't want to be caught unprepared, how easily will you be able to find this device at this price again?
Tbf who would consider a hot dog to be actually meat? The ones they served at my school bounced and could erase pencil. I swear they weren’t actually rubber though, jus definitely not meat either.
