To be filed under “WTF” and “Please, No” is a new gadget called the Egg Master that provides a novel if unsettling approach to preparing eggs. Because eggs have long plagued man as an immensely difficult food to prepare, the folks behind the Egg Master came up with this simple tool where all you do is dump eggs into a silicone “vertical grill” and within minutes, your eggs come oozing out…ready to, er, eat.
Watching the video of the gadget in work, however, you may be reminded less of eggs and more of…well, something else.

[The] gadget describes itself as “a new way to prepare eggs”, which is accurate in the way that chopping off your legs could be described as a new way to lose weight. Let’s start with that name, its unsettling taint of S&M, an overtone consistent with the design.

[As the ‘cooking’ starts] a bulging yellow sac peers back at me. Minutes pass; the smell does not. Then, without warning, a flaccid, spongy log half jumps from the machine, writhing like an alien parasite in search of a host body. It’s horrifying, like a scene from The Lair of the White Worm.
Watch the video for yourself and see if you can stomach the Egg Master:
