Alton Brown fan?

Have you ever noticed how many "unitaskers" he uses on a daily basis? Or how his most cherished dishes can't be made without one?

Yes. You are looking at a picture of a camping iron. It has one purpose: put stuff between bread and throw on a fire. However, that one purpose is fucking awesome. Much like popover pans only make popovers, much like tagines only make tagines, much like paiellas only make paiellas, it is a device of limited utility. Yet each example listed has been the subject to its very own edition of good eats.

As a gentle reminder, you were espousing the virtues of a fucking waffle iron not 12 hours ago... and if ever there were a useless does-only-one-thing device for the kitchen, it'd be the salad shooter. But beyond the salad shooter, the waffle iron.
