Even though Homer Simpson weighs-in at a gargantuan 238 lbs (that's 107.957 kilos in new money), he and his little yellow family are still partial to the odd doughnut or six. And it's no surprise if they're employing this dinky technical marvel, which is capable of churning out crispy dough rings like nobody's business. Homer's doughnut fixation is most likely due to a malformation of one of the o-rings in his DNA, where a discernable 'o' shape forms in centre of the double-helix. But that's quite another matter. Let's get back to the batter. The Simpsons Doughnut Maker - or should that be d'oh-nut maker - is able to flawlessly produce a batch of six perfectly turned-out doughnuts in just a few moments, with a non-stick coating to enable slick production and easy cleaning, and a heat gauge so you know when the internal temperature is tikkety-boo.

The chaps at The Simpsons have even produced a handy technical guide to doughnut creation, with detailed instructions about how to prepare the most delicious batter and toppings. All of which is not inconsiderably generous of them. Now, when you feel an o-ring malformation forming in your DNA and you get an irresistible urge, you know just what to do.
