That's right, it's the Meat Toaster. Brought to you by Presto! What a great name! I mean "Presto," not "Meat Toaster," obviously. Because when you think of meat, you think "broil," not "toast." At least, that's how my brain works. But not those super geniuses over at Presto! And good thing, too, because otherwise we wouldn't have this fantastic invention!

I mean, seriously, how awesome is this? You put your meat between the two racks, then just slide it vertically into the toaster. It cooks it from both sides, so it's twice as fast, and you don't have to worry about flipping it over in the middle. So convenient! And all those fatty juices just drain right out into the handy drip pan. Which I'm totally sure isn't a fire hazard at all, even though it's probably right near the heating coils. Plus, you've gotta love those old-fashioned appliances that are made out of metal with those dangerously sharp corners. It's a wonder any of us made it to adulthood!

What I also love is that in the actual ad copy, they refer to this appliance as "The Presto Vertical Broiler," which sounds much better, but clearly isn't as catchy for ad copy, hence "Meat Toaster." That grabs your attention... although possibly not in the way they intended.

Also, while sometimes I see ads for these kinds of appliances from my youth and recognize the products, I think I can safely say that my parents never owned a Meat Toaster. Can't live without my modern George Foreman Grill, though! Love that thing!
