Mean Machines
Design-porn site Oobject presents a lovely catalog of “extreme kitchen machines” such as a gargantuan egg-breaking number that can crack more than 46,000 eggs an hour, and the automatic asparagus-peeler, about which Oobject sensibly asks, “Why would you want to peel Asparagus, let alone buy a ginormous machine to do it?”
As a buyer of those loaves of unsliced “artisanal” bread, I’m personally very attracted to the Robot Coupe bread slicer, which can slice 360 pieces of bread in a minute. Imagine the toast points! Oh my. Submitting to gadget lust, Boing Boing’s Joel Johnson says the industrial kitchen machines “make me wish my spring-loaded jaw were rated for a higher snack-per-second intake rate.”

Umm...somehow you doubled the number of slices you can get out of that baguette from 180 to 360, which would require a loaf over 9 feet long. Even to get 180 slices one needs a baguette roughly 4.75 feet long, which is a great deal longer than any loaf I've seen for sale in Boston.
“Why would you want to peel Asparagus?"
There really ARE two kinds of people in the world: those of us who peel our asparagus and those who don't.
