Faux Old Snack Stoves

The S'Mores Maker Brings Campfire Treats Indoors

— July 1, 2011 — Lifestyle
A favorite camping activity is roasting marshallows over an open wood fire, and those who crave the comforting snack but have no fireplace at home can rejoice in the existence of the S'Mores Maker.

Nostalgia Electrics manufactures the 'Old Fashioned' oven, as if the practice of toasting sugary gelatin candy in this way is an age-old tradition. The enthusiasm for preparing these sweet snacks may go back a couple of generations, but this new kitchen appliance makes the process as sophisticated as it's ever been.

Having said that, there's little wrong with the establishment of a falsely evocative product, for the S'Mores Maker and the 12 treats you can cook on its skewers make it a charming contraption regardless.
