Portable Toaster Anywhere You Go

Here’s one way to make sure that you know exactly how done your toast will be. Granted there’s the strong possibility you’ll end up toasting your hand as well, but at least you’ll have perfect toast every single time. Although after the first five or six times of acquiring burned fingers and palms, I’m sure you’ll figure out how exactly to handle the toast and the toaster without acquiring minor injuries.

The toaster is still a concept by Kim Been. It features a pretty flowery design and seems to be in the shape of a serving utensil. The more your bread becomes toasted, the more of the design will appear on the back of the toaster. Of course, you could just as easily see with your own eyes how done your toast has become without a design popping up. At least it is pretty though. It’d be great to toss in your desk at work if you enjoy toasted sandwiches for lunch.

Sipping Tea in Style





The kettle has special electronic controls for all of the functions required to keep the tea kettle up and functioning. It can achieve temperatures between 45 and 100 degrees Celsius. The screen and all of the buttons are located on the handle itself. The screen displays a clock and includes a self-timer that sets and regulates the tea kettle. The kettle can be programmed to make sure that your tea is done when you need it to be, like on a coffee break or first thing in the morning. If you want to get this top of the line Bugatti Kettle, you'd be shelling out £185.00 or about $300 from Where Did You Buy That.

If you don't have those bucks, you're average low cost kettle will do. After all, it's the tea you're after

Digital Recipe Book in your Hands!


No more page turning, no more index. With 1 touch your beloved recipe appears. It's much like kindle but it belongs to the kitchen. Here is the Demy Kitchen Safe Touchscreen Recipe Reader.

Some of you may have had mothers or grandmothers that kept all their recipes on index cards in a little box on the counter.

The Demy Kitchen Safe Touchscreen stores recipes in its digital memory, and other recipes can be taken directly from the Demy website itself.

Of course, what I don’t know is how to clean the screen. Remember those recipe cards that I was telling you about? I remember that some of the more often cooked ones had sauce stains on the corners. Can you imagine the stains that will accumulate on this device with its touchscreen?

The Demy Kitchen Safe Touchscreen Recipe Reader isn’t really out as yet, but you can pre-order it from Amazon for about $299.99.

Well, maybe some one will come up with a transparent plastic that can protect the screen from the sauces.

The Smart Measuring Cup or Measuring Pours?


If you’re one that prefers to keep your measuring precise and very carefully double check it every single time. It becomes a task that seems to take far longer than it really should. Well instead of setting down the measuring cup so you can crouch down at eye level to make sure it’s right, you could use these. They will make it so that you don’t have to do more than make sure you’ve grabbed the right tool and pour. They will only allow as much as you need to be poured out.

These little spouts go on the end of a bottle and range in all kinds of sizes. They offer a total of five different sizes, the teaspoon pour, the tablespoon, 1 ounce, 2 ounce and then a free-flowing pour. Since the sizes aren’t broken down into half a teaspoon or a quarter of a tablespoon, you’ll still need to have a lot of measuring cups around. However, it’ll at least speed up some measurements for you. The seals will fit on bottlenecks with sizes ranging from ¾ inch on up to 1 inch. You can purchase a set of three for $16.50 (teaspoon, tablespoon and ounce pours included) or individually for$5.95.

So will you get rid of the measuring cup now?

You can now grow meat with Cocoon!


No Meat in the Fridge? Then grow it with Cocoon! What's a cocoonIt's a cooker that can “grow” meat and fish by heating animal cells.

It does sound like something from science fiction, and it probably will stay that way at this point. The Cocoon is planned to heat pre-mixed food packets containing muscle cells, oxygen, and other nutrients to grow meat.

Rickard Hederstierna is the designer of this product, and he has won a huge cash prize and a chance to work a six month paid internship at the Electrolux design center. Source

Relax, this product isn't available yet. Richard is still toiling on his drawing board on how to make this gadget available in the stores. Would this product create havoc once mass produced? How would the meat taste like? Would vegetarians eat this? For now, buy your fresh meat in the market. They're still available.
