Fingerslicers often come with superfluous accessories, but you don't need them to slice your fingers to the bone.

I used to use knives to slice my fingers, but I found that once I'd sliced them enough, I couldn't hold the knives any longer. The fingerslicer is an elegant solution.

Because "What's worst than cold food ?"
The butt-warmer is in my opinion a must have for anyone who wants to experience fine dining.
Its pretty easy to use, just turn it on and sit on it, it will able you to keep the food warm at every stage of digestion.
I only have electrical ones because I couldn't find a technician able to set 6 gas pipes in my dining room for a decent price, but I find them really satisfying.
Try to invest into durable ones, I heard terrible incidents happenned with made in china butt-warmer.
