Look around. You probably have soda cans, pizza boxes and take out containers lying all over the place. Come on man, just because you are a lazy bachelor doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little home cooking every once in awhile. So, with that in mind, check out the following list of gadgets. You too can eat like a king at home-and save a little money while you are at it. Breakfast:
Say now, what's that sizzlin' on the skilllet? Why its delicious pancakes of course! And they come in a can! Indeed, a few sprays of this Batter Blaster and you are in for some fantastic phony flapjacks. Plus, Batter Blaster is organic, so you know it's good and good for you. [Batter Blaster via Link]
What are pancakes without a side of bacon? You might as well feed it to the dog, I say. Not to worry though, one can of bacon holds up to 50 slices of salty, fatty goodness that the whole family will enjoy. So stock up and grab a case of 12 for $110. You and your cardiologist will be glad you did. [MREdepot via Link] Lunch:
How do hot dogs sound? Sure, you could just pop them in the microwave and be done with it, but this hot dog maker does so much more than cook your wieners. It can also make popcorn, boil eggs, heat up your buns and steam your steamables. Available for $30. [Spilsbury via Link]
Maybe you prefer a hot sandwich? We have you covered there too with these reusable Tostabags. Just place two slices of buttered bread and some cheese in one of the Toastabags then pop it in a toaster with some wide slots. When all is said and done you will have a delicious grilled cheese sandwich with minimal effort. It works with all kinds of sandwich ingredients as well. Two bags will set you back about $18. [LatestBuy] Dinner:
You've already had pancakes and bacon in a can, now try the infamous cheeseburger in a can! That's right, if you can keep it down, a soggy McDonald's-esque flavor sensation will be your reward. And hey, it [probably] won't kill you! Priced around $6 a can. [Link]

Sometimes burgers and pizza are just not good enough. When you are feeling like something a little fancier, give the steak toaster a try. Just place the steak in the vertical heating unit and watch in awe as your mouth watering meat cooks to perfection. Plus, all the fat and grease drips to the bottom tray to prevent smoking. Available for $220. [Ariete via Link] Dessert:

Who doesn't love s'mores? Unfortunately, we all can't make perfect s'mores by the campfire all the time, so this bizarre looking little contraption can do it for us right in the microwave. The manufacturers claim that it can make two perfect s'mores in under 30 seconds flat thanks to the little arms that keep the marshmallow from overexpanding. Available for $7.
