Unfortunately, while adorable, this toaster looks like it barely browns in the panda image and leaves the rest of the bread untoasted. They’re supposed to hit the market in June.

I’m not sure if I’d actually want to cook in this, but I definitely want to own it. This skillet is beyond adorable. The panda face along the outside of the skillet would make this a display piece in my kitchen. In fact, it may just start a new theme.
