Back to Basics Egg & Muffin Toaster really works!
My husband received the Back to Basic Egg & Muffin Toaster from my parents as a gift. Mom and Dad had seen a similar product on an infomercial and thought it was just the thing for Nick, as he is a big breakfast sandwich person. After only using...

The Return of Breakfast!
My husband likes to have egg and cheese sandwiches. He usually just cooks the egg in the microwave using a dinner bowl. Leaving the stuck on egg for me to clean up. After purchasing new dishes, I made it clear that no eggs were to be cooked in my dinner...

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,...

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!
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...

Pros:
Perfect eggs, perfect toast, set it and forget it for a perfect breakfast every morning.

Only cooks one egg at a time; not for hungry families or hearty appetites.
Bottom Line:
It's my new favorite kitchen appliance - a must-have for anyone who enjoys eating eggs and wants to simplify their morning routine.
