Big Lots Is Selling the Perfect Summer-Friendly Gadget for Under $30—But It Won't Last Long On Shelves

In terms of classic all-American eats, it doesn’t get much better than hot dogs . Truly one of the easiest meals to whip up in a pinch, hot dogs can be both simple by design or loaded with delicious toppings. The summer season wouldn’t be complete without at least one hot dog cookout under your belt, and Big Lots just made the whole process even easier than before.

Gone are the days of boiling a pot of water or tossing cold franks into the microwave, Big Lots has arrived on the scene with a toaster that can heat both the hot dogs and the buns at the same time. The Nostalgia Pop-Up Hot Dog Toaster is a super convenient 2-in-1 appliance that makes mealtime as quick and easy as possible. The toaster comes in a lovely shade of aqua blue and retails for just $24.99.

Now, before you write this summer-worthy appliance off as a gimmick, you’ll be relieved to find out that it works just the same as any average toaster. Users can toast up to two regular or extra-plump hot dogs and two buns at the same time, as well as use an adjustable toasting timer and a stop toasting button to allow for optimal dog cooking. A hot dog cage and mini tongs are also included in the box to help keep your hands safe while removing hot franks and buns from the toaster.

Other features include a removable drip tray that catches excess juices and crumbs and an easy to tuck away power cord to help keep things tidy for storage. The entire appliance weighs 2.5-pounds and stands 8-inches tall with a 10.5-inch length and a 5.5-inch width. Users can either fit it in with their current countertop setup or simply keep it stored in the pantry between uses.

This specific hot dog toaster has a comparative value of $34.99 everywhere else, meaning you’ll save at least $10 by shopping with Big Lots. The toaster also works well with pre-cooked chicken dogs, turkey dogs, veggie dogs and both sausages and brats alike, giving users all the excuse needed to have a hot dog summer.
