Iwavecube Personal Microwave for Tiny, Tiny Food

January 10th, 2008 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Office Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

102591262d.jpgYou know you’ve done it - you’ve been sitting at your desk and your coffee is cold. Or you think “wow…I would love to heat up my lunch but I know there’s a line for the microwave in the kitchen”. You wish you had your own microwave. What if you had your own a personal, portable microwave? Forget all those trips to the kitchen or treks to the cafeteria — now you can reheat coffee right at your desk or nuke some soup for your brown-bag lunch.

The innovative Iwavecube personal microwave has all the electronic controls and safety features you expect, but it takes up less than a cubic foot of space. Plug it in anyplace that’s handy — work or home office; home gym; family room; nursery; wet bar; dorm room; work bench; pool house.everywhere! The quiet, super-energy-efficient iwavecube measures just 10″ x 10.5″ x 12″ and weighs only 12 lbs. Features a built-in carry handle and view-through door. Plugs into standard outlet.

My only problem is that there’s no way in hell this microwave will heat up a Lean Cuisine meal or anything larger than a Hot Pocket. I’m not sure I want to spend $129.95 on a coffee warmer. But if having a tiny, tiny microwave is something you’ve always dreamed of, then you can pick one up over at the Sky Mall.

This Tea Picked By A Bunch Of Monkeys…Seriously!

January 9th, 2008 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

monkey-tea.jpgNow I enjoy a good cup of tea, I even have teapots and loose leaf to put into my ingenuiTEA pot from Adagio Tea (which is an awesome gadget in its own right!). But there are just some things that defy reason but you can’t help but love.

A prime example of this is the Monkey Picked Tea being sold over at ThinkGeek. There is a legend that says that over ten centuries ago, upon seeing his master pick tea leaves, a monkey climbed up and collected the leaves and brought them down for his master. Whether it be legend or simply a cheaper form of labor, the story has turned into a rare product that you can purchase and enjoy.

Monkey Picked Tea is a rare tea that is carefully picked by specially trained monkeys in a remote mountain region of China. It is claimed that none of the monkeys are mistreated or harmed in this process. They say that the monkeys are treated as respected members of their family. A quote from ThinkGeek: Read the rest of this entry »

Prepara Herb-Savor Keeps Your Herbs Fresh For Weeks

December 6th, 2007 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Garden Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

pr450_pip.jpgI really enjoy cooking. I’m a sucker for any cooking show on the Food Network and I buy all the nifty gadgets, knives, tools they use. I even try to emulate the techniques and products that they flaunt across my television screen. “Use lots of fresh herbs!” they exclaim while they eschew any form of dried herbs as the most disgusting thing in the world. Unlike these chefs on television, I don’t go to the store (or the farmers market like they say I should) every day nor do I have bucket loads of cash lying around to pay the premium price for these herbs because they only last a few days in the fridge.

What’s a budding chef to do?

Well, you can pick up the Prepara Herb-Savor from The Sharper Image. This compact and ingenious storage device prolongs the life of your fresh herbs for up to three weeks by keeping the cut stems in water and its cover isolates your herbs from the rest of the items in your fridge. It has ample capacity but still easily fits inside a standard refrigerator door. The removable stainless steel basket keeps herbs neatly gathered together, and allows for easy washing.

George Foreman USB iGrill - Desktop Grilling At Its Finest

November 29th, 2007 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Medical Gadgets, USB Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

igrill.jpgI have a George Foreman Grill - wait, I take that back, I have a couple of George Foreman Grills. They’re great for cooking hamburgers, turkey burgers, steaks, chicken breasts, bratwursts and just about anything else that you could think to cook on a grill - you can cook on the George Foreman “Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine”. There’s ones with removable plates, ones with bun warmers, and all sorts of different sizes and shapes. But the only thing that was the same was that they all required to be plugged into the wall socket to work.

Well, until now.

The awesomeness that is ThinkGeek offers the George Foreman USB iGrill. This desktop grill is powered by one single USB 2.0 port. Read the rest of this entry »

Knife Block for Knife Sadists or Circus Fans

November 26th, 2007 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

throwzini.jpgThere are knife connoisseurs and there are people who love the circus. Back in the early days of the circus, there were the knife throwers who thrilled audiences with their skills of accuracy and daring. In 1938, the infamous Wheel of Death was introduced and a moving, spinning target upped the dramatic tension of the audience. Nowadays, knife throwers aren’t as prevalent, but everyone owns knives and everyone knows that you need to store your knives in knife blocks. They are important to keeping your fine cutlery in tip top shape.

The gadget-loving people over at UrbanTrend feature the Throwzini’s Knife Block, which causes no apparent harm to the hapless red dude strapped to it. Read the rest of this entry »
