Our archive is still down, but in the past we’ve shared with you George Foreman grill-like countertop appliances with very specific purposes. These include mini pie makers, donut makers, and cupcake makers. Now Sunbeam Pets is about to expand the monotasking across species with a new machine designed to make homemade dog treats right on the countertop.

The device has nonstick plates and goes on the counter, right next to your half-dozen other highly specific baking appliances. It comes with recipes, including recipes for dog-friendly frosting.

It is not clear whether you can use it to make bone-shaped cookies for humans.
