The Egg-Bot is pretty awesome, we must say. But if you have one, you end up with lot of delicate, round things rolling around your abode and getting underfoot. Warmer weather is just around the corner, so segue from spring gaiety to hot fun in the summertime with the MarshMallowMatic kit from [Evil Mad Scientist].
The MarshMallowMatic is a CNC oxy-fuel precision marshmallow toaster based on the Ostrich Egg-Bot design. Constructed from flame-retardant plywood, it is sure to add an element of delicious danger to children’s birthday parties and weekend wingdings alike. You don’t have to get too specific with those BYOM invitations because this bad boy will torch standard and jumbo marshmallows like a boss.
The kit includes a 5000°F oxy-fuel torch and a 20 ft³ oxygen tank, but the tank comes empty and you’ll have to supply your own propane, acetylene, or hydrogen. It comes with adapters to fit disposable propane and MAPP cylinders, which are also not included. However, you will receive a fine selection of sample marshmallows to get you started. Watch the MarshMallowMatic fire up some happiness after the break. You could toast a special message and load it into this face-tracking confectionery cannon to show how much you care.

MADNESS, SHEAR MADNESS!!! I’ll take two.
Wood and oxy torch. What could possibly go wrong?
“Constructed from flame-retardant plywood,…”
From their 4/1 sales “literature”: [t]he oxy-fuel torch is a precise instrument capable of producing an inch-long flame with temperature in excess of 5000 °F (2760 °C), hot enough to toast even the most reluctant marshmallow. In fact, marshmallows aside, you can even use it for light-duty soldering, brazing, and welding applications.
No plywood is that flame retardant :)
I think Kristina was trolling us with the flame retardant remark

This.
I don’t know… The video is very convincing.
Turns out it has a setting for well done too:

If they had an attachment that replaced the burner on a gas stove, it would all be *_much_* easier to believe.

It’s obviously real, but just as obviously not a product EMS could sell for reasons of product liability.
