7. Omelet Maker
Could be replaced by: a pan.
The Omelet Maker is a classic one-task wonder, designed to accomplish what should be one of the simplest tasks in cooking. But it's also easy to screw up an omelet, and the culprit is typically impatience. Successful omelet-making requires one key factor: low heat. Just slow it down, egg buster, and you won't need this thing, regardless of what Sylvania wants you to believe. Omelet-making is a valuable skill, and one worth the time to cultivate. You can do it. You don't need plug-in training wheels. Just reach out with your inner self and cook those eggs.

6. The Quesadilla Maker
Could be replaced by: a pan.
The racist stereotype of Mexicans as stupid and lazy is, like this appliance, a Gringo invention. If you can't figure out how to make tortillas and melted cheese taste good together without the help of this muy estúpido machine, then maybe you don't deserve a quesadilla.

5. Electric Dip Warmer
Could be replaced by: Sterno.
If the nacho-cheesy heated dips depicted on this item's box are such a frequent staple of your diet that investment in this product is really warranted, it might be time to reassess, perhaps atoning with a New Year's resolution. Just sayin'.
