A Good Quality Smores Maker

I'm sure that we all remember sitting around the campfire while on vacation making smores.  This is one great childhood memory that almost every one has.  Unfortunately, it is difficult and unsafe to try and make them at home.  Sure, you can go into your backyard and start up the grill or fire pit, and roast some marshmallows, but then you have to deal with cleaning up a fire, and who wants to do that?  Fortunately, there are certain smores makers that will make your job much easier.

Basically, a smores maker is a small kitchen appliance that is exactly what it sounds like: it makes smores.  Buy before you run out and but one, you should definitely know a few things.  There can be a lot of cheap ones out there that will only last a month, if they ever work at all.  So here are few things to look out for:

1.       Price – there is no reason for these to be expensive.  Believe it or not, you can find them for as little as $5.00, though I personally would shoot for one between 10 and 20 dollars at the cheapest.  After all, you can only make a product so good for only $5.00.  Probably the best smores maker on the market is Micro S’mores. They are currently running a buy one get one free offer as well.

2.      Easy to clean-the more parts that it has the more difficult it will be to clean.  So try to find one that has as few parts as possible, if it has a lot of parts, make sure that is easy to take apart.  It doesn't make any sense to buy a product for convenience if it takes 45 minutes to clean it, so make sure not to skip this part.

3.      Appearance –while this isn't a big factor when you buy most appliances, it can become one determining factor for smores makers.  This is important because most people who are buying a smores maker have small kids, and so it doesn't make much sense to buy just some small gray box.  There are all kinds of colorful and fun shapes that will entertain the kids, so if you have small children be sure and shop around.  If you want to, I would even recommend taking the kids with you to pick one out so they feel like they are helping.  They will also have a lot of fun picking which shape and color they want.

The issue is still that nothing beats makings s'mores and marshmallows on a fire, but s'mores makers are the answer when I don't necessarily have time to go into the woods and build a small fire or when starting the grill is to much of a pain.  So, if you love toasted marshmallows and s'mores as much as I do, look for a maker that is easy to use at an affordable price such as the Micro S’mores Maker.
