If you demand every tool and appliance in your kitchen to more than pull its weight, you'll want to check out this multi-function wonder from Italian company Ariete. Its new 4-in-1 kitchen miracle combines a microwave, a grill, a toaster oven, and a bread maker into a single stainless steel covered metal box.
With a 25-liter cooking capacity you can nuke almost anything, or whip up two pounds of delicious fresh-baked bread using one of ten different presets. There's also a handy child lock which presumably keeps little ones from accessing scalding hot food, or irradiating their favorite action figure. And at just over $170 if you crunch the numbers you're actually saving quite a bit of money, not just counter space. [Ariete via Appliancist]
DISCUSSION
Mine has a setting for warming milk, an oven setting, a microwave oven setting, and a warming button for food bought from a convenience store. I don't think it could bake bread, though. Haven't tried.
