You could just stick soft foods in a processor and call it a day. Half of it's going to end up your baby's bib anyway, especially if the peas and spinach. Amazon

There's got to be a better and less expensive way. Oh yeah, there is. For around $30 at Lowe's, in fact. Go for the cheaper option unless you're planning to start a dehydrated food business from your kitchen. Amazon

At a cost of nearly $10,000, this juicer better have a secret compartment that pre-mixes mimosas and serves them in 24-karat gold champagne flutes. Hamacher Schlemmer

Again, it's like we live in a world where food processors and blenders don't exist. Spoiler alert: They do. Amazon

This makes sense for someone who's arthritic...and a billionaire. You're better off using the $187 towards a personal assistant or live-in nurse. Plus, who eats that many jarred foods anyway? If the answer is you, it may be time to re-evaluate your diet. Amazon

Hamburger Maker ($90)

Can someone page George Foreman? We need the boxer-turned-infomercial genius to a) one-up this contraption with his much cheaper and versatile alternative and b) punch this and punch it hard. Amazon

Frankly, we're not sure how many dirty produce-related tragedies are happening in your life, but if you're a germophobe who's tired of seeking immediate medical attention because you think everything you eat is riddled with flesh-eating amoebas, this tool's for you! Amazon

God forbid that one piece of popcorn doesn't have the same amount of melted butter as its kernel neighbors. Now you can stop the madness with this Kickstarter-backed device. Biem
