Obscure/Weird Grill Accessories

I did a Google search this morning for grill accessories and came up with some pretty wild stuff. Here's the best of what I found, the ham dogger.

Product Description
Now you can please both the hot dog and hamburger lover. You will never have to buy two kinds of buns when you have Kitchen Art Ham Dogger. The Ham Dogger is easy to use and makes 1/4 lb. hot dog shaped hamburger patties. Make specialty dogs using ground sausage or turkey.

This one doesn't need any explaining

What is the weird accessory that you have found or that has been given to you?

Ok. After I was done laughing I think I will be looking for one of those wiener holders. It just has me laughing.

I got a bunch of weird stuff ......I'll get some pics & send in.......

Here's the "Speedy" potato cutter & dicer.....not all that strange, more functional than some things......I do like the elongated burger maker.......could run with that ...........

Here's some snazzy tongs I found for deep fry on the wok:

the expandable potato nails thing:

the 5-up Bakelite handle slider press:

the taco shaper for frying:

the hanging shish kabob rack (some assembly required)

Ham dogger? No thanks. Hamburger has to be a patty!

I'm with you! The ham dogger end result would basically be meatloaf, and while I love meatloaf I don't want my meatloaf and hamburger additictions to become intertwined.

Mostly agreed, after I think about it.......

However.......

you could switch buns, deftly, when no one was watching................

the taco shaper for frying:

I wonder if this could be used to shape soft shells without frying them.

You do know what I'm going to try with this little item, don't you?

Bacon Weave Tacos....................

T.hardy.....I think so, but maybe some kind of heat to help them keep their shape......?

Bacon weave shells sounds like something that should be attempted ASAP. Check out the Food Dude - http://dudefoods.com/bacon-weave-taco/

As for flour shells, I'd think heating over direct heat in the form would work.

Thanks again, now I need a taco shell, bacon weave shaping device. I probably need like six of em cuz I can knock out a twelve pack from Taco Bell with ease!

Ken you might have some of the cooler/stranger accessories I've seen. That being said, I want them!

No...because I'm not completely crazy yet.

Hmmmm, ham dogger... you know, I've been able to make the shape of a hot dog since I was like 1 or 2. You know, play-do, mud, etc. If you can roll something into the shape of a snake you could make your own ham dog.

But yeah, if I saw one at a garage sale for a buck, I'd probably buy it. Who am I trying to kid?
