This question was asked on 720 WGN Radio as part of a gameshow called the 10 at 10. Sorry I did not get the answer. I had to get out of the car to deliver a pizza. Here are a few answers I came up with.
1. Microphone
2. To make bacon curls
3. A bacon straightener
4. Soup warmer
5. Toasted bread sticks
As you can see when I hit the food aisle of possible answers I started pigging out.
