Underneath The Chocolate Fountain

Ovente SBL-811 Chocolate Fondue Fountain

Behold!

This rare shot of the elusive chocolate fountain shows the creature in all its naked glory. This fine specimen is called the Ovente SBL-811 Chocolate Fondue Fountain and can hold up to 2 pounds of chocolate — which is certainly more visually appealing than the raw, naked beast you see before you now.

Rarely seen in this state out of its natural environment of the all-you-can-eat restaurant, this magnificent creature can now be yours to have in your very own home — just don’t forget to feed it.

Charlie Brown & Snoopy Waffle Maker

Peanuts Snoopy & Charlie Brown Character Waffle Maker

Peanuts characters are breaking out of their two-dimensional world! No, I am not talking about the fact that the upcoming CGI Peanuts movie is going to give the Snoopy and the gang depth perception. This is a kitchen blog, so I’m talking about the Peanuts Snoopy & Charlie Brown Character Waffle Maker. Specifically, big, fluffy waffles made to look like Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Snoopy’s Sopwith Camel, err, dog house.

The “Peanuts” movie doesn’t come out until next year, so meanwhile, kick back with some waffles. Don’t forget to share with the Little Red-Haired Girl.

10w Stainless Steel Automatic Food Slicer Cutter Twister Machine

There is one thing that every food stall in every carnival or fair must provide: fried food. Once this understanding has been understood, the next step is to decide what to fry. Naturally, potatoes come to mind for having a good ratio of deliciousness to cheapness. But still, one needs to put a spin on things to stand out.

The 10w Stainless Steel Automatic Food Slicer Cutter Twister Machine is exactly what the carny ordered.

For the low, low price of $169.99 you too can be making tornado potatoes from the comfort of your very own food stall. Or perhaps even the home, it being time for back to school and all — which in that case this little rotary cutter is a double bonus! Use during the school year might not provide the healthiest options (oh, just put an apple in there or something), but when summer rolls around next year, the family will be all set to rake it in from the rubes.

PS: One order, please.

PPS: The last time BTKS featured a similar rotary slicer it had a price of over $500!
