A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Take that, kicthen counter!
...but can it make julian fries?
Thats amore!
Does it have wifi?
No, but I wouldn't be surprised if they released a USB-powered one that actually DID spin....
I've had practically the same thing in my kitchen for a couple years. How is this special?
The same way your condescending comment makes you special.
It would make "practically" become "actually"
"I've had actually"?
That's even worse then it was before!
The name "Pizza Pro" is dumb as you say.
I'm guessing "The Pizza Saw" is already taken?
I guess it was...

Pizza Saw = Epic win!
So basically its a plastic/rubber moulding that theyve plonked on top instead of the traditional handle?
How exciting....not to mention how much more fun it will be to clean underneath in all the little nooks and crannys.
Is this even a gadget? Or does Engadget now encompass cooking utensils...you should employ Martha Stuart.
I guess he got excited by the "currently unpriced" bit.
Actually I have one of these types of pizza cutters (without the saw motif) and it works really really well. I never use my old school pizza cutter any more, and I had a nice one.
Pressing down directly on it from above works infinitely better than a traditional pizza cutter.
And as for cleaning it, the blade actually just pops right out of the handle, so its a breeze to clean.
What?
No Power?
Bo-ring!!
well well...sandra, select2gether.com
How in the world is this on Engadget?
It must come with a USB cable to power the thing.
ditto...
im like wtf, dude?
gadgets = geeks = pizza, hence engadget.
well, I waited for that all my life!
omg, me too!

there is a smily face on the blade. it obviously enjoys what it does.
"Because cutting pizza is so hard..."
There's got to be a better way!
or, it just jams cheese and toppings up in the "blade cover" -- gonna be a b**** to clean!
I need one of those...more than one. I gotta give one to my shop teacher, LOL
I love the little face on the saw, it's loving cutting the pizza!
Yummy!! it looks so good
Make sure not to damage the table kids! and wash your hands before eating...
My best friend and I cut our pizza into what looks like a puzzle all the time (Puzzle PIzza TM by me). This would be the perfect tool to do that!
Use a real circular saw, ya big girl.
How about a GOW Lancer pizza Cutter? Now that would be awesome!
Things with electrical components inside is harder to wash. I hope it won't have any.
Why do Americans call them "pizza pies"? Aren't they just "pizzas" and aren't pies things made from pastry like meat pies, apple pies, etc.? I've always wondered this; what better place to ask than on a gadget blog!
Well, it is just one of those regional things. Sort of like calling the trunk of your car a boot, when I'm pretty sure it's never been on your foot (and the bonnet has never been on your head, but I digress). These are the things that make English such a fascinating, and at the same time frustrating language. Although, when you think about it, a pizza IS a pie of sorts, albeit it with a typically NOT-flaky crust. But it has the same basic shape, you typically cut it into wedges to eat, and if it is a Chicago-style deep dish (I reccomend Lou Malnati's, they even Fed Ex it, which I do for my Dad for his birthday every year now that he lives on the East Coast).
However, the Pizza Pro would be a mess, I would think, especially in the afor mentioned deep-dish scenario.
I'm from the US, and other than a catchy tune by Dean Martin that calls them "pizza pie" (That's Amore!), I don't know anyone who actually calls them pizza pies. There are numerous restaurants that do call them that, and it isn't an unheard of expression. Also, the term is actually rather logical. A pie being a crust with stuff on top of it. Sounds remarkably like a pizza! Other than the toppings, and the fact that pizza doesn't really use pastry dough, they are conceptually similar.
Wanna go halves on a pie? Yeah, I figured we'd go halves on a pie.
...So we got half pepperoni and half pumpkin.
Wow, you must really like pie!
mmm.... pizza!
Is that a power tool in the background?
Now, THAT I would buy!
which was supposed to be in reply to the Pizza Saw.....
What, no laser sight? How a bout a built in Gps,
This doesn't have anything on the "Nyfork". http://www.innoprousa.com/nyfork.htm
Hey, I already invented that, but I gave it a much better name. It was the "Lip Cutter".
Cool novelty item :)
I'm definitely putting this on my wedding registry.
Here's a good tip:
Kitchen Scissors.
$11 @ Target.
No sawing, no "I thought I cut through it but it's still hanging by some burnt crust", make perfect slices or cut any shape you want.
Kitchen Scissors. It's the future of...um... kitchening.
