I'm thinking "No". However JCPenny seems to disagree. They have this nifty one here (see photo to the right) for a mere $129.99. It's even on sale. Save $170 off the original price. WOW, $170, that's a lot of donuts! It's called the Dough-Nu-Matic, now that's a cool name.
Ok, back to me...do I really need a donut maker? Probably not, I only eat about 3 donuts per year and they are usually the Dunkin' variety. But this is tempting. I'm kind of a kitchen gadget whore. I've got a Cuisinart Mixer, Quesadilla Maker, Snow Cone Machine, Toaster Oven, Toaster, Magic Bullet and a bunch more I'm too embarrassed to list.
So getting the donut maker would not be totally out of the realm of possibility for me...my husband likes to buy me cool gifts (fish tank, sock monkey kit, rock tumbler) I'm hard to buy for so I guess I could hit him up. The other problem is I'm not sure where I'd put this behemoth of a gadget. It's big because "A mechanical lever pushes the donut through the oil and flips it for perfect browning". Makes sense doesn't it! Maybe I could put it next to the Snow Cone Machine.
Anyway if your looking for an interesting gift for someone (me) who has quirky tastes in kitchen gear consider a gift that keeps on giving tasty treats throughout the entire year...or not.
