I wake up every morning at 6 am and while the rest of the house is still fast asleep I have a quiet bowl of cereal while I ponder my day, Sure I’d like a more substantial breakfast sometimes, but I don’t want to make a mess in the kitchen and I don’t want to spend too much time rattling around, I especially don’t want to wake them up and ruin my quiet time.

Well, now enjoying a hearty breakfast is easy! Nostalgia Electrics (the folks that bring us many kitchy cooking items) introduce us to the 50′s Breakfast Toaster & Griddle. This bread and bagel toaster features a wide 2-slot toaster and, wait for it.. a flip down griddle all in one cute and compact appliance. It’s perfect for a dorm room or small apartment (Although I’m leaning towards keeping it on my desk at work) and the non-stick griddle heats up to 450 ° and features a removable grill plate and drip tray for easy cleaning.

The unit measures 6.8″ W x 8.2″ H x 13″ D so it will fit anywhere a regular toaster will, and the variable temperature controlled griddle even has a separate on/off switch for those mornings when toast will suffice. The toaster itself features a cancel button to prevent your precious toast from burning and the electric cord stows easily by wrapping it around the bracketed base.

Yup, I can see one of these in my future… but I’m not going to limit myself to just bacon and eggs… I’m going to be at my desk making frajitas and some shrimp stir fry, that should allow me to annoy people even more than usual.

The Nostalgia Toaster & Griddle is available for under 30 bucks at  www.amazon.com

Being made out of a soft and flexible silicone mold, it is also perfect to produce other edibles that are not made out of ice – I am talking about making mini jelly shapes as well as homemade chocolates. Not only that, it is also oven and microwave safe, allowing you to bake Rebel Alliance brownies without batting an eyelid. Definitely the thing to own (having more than one is always merrier, of course) if you want to make sure your dedication to the Rebel Alliance is near complete.

After all, getting the right mix of ingredients is the key to a perfect dish – too little or too much of something will just spoil the taste, while you lose some stars among the family where being in the kitchen is concerned. The locking silicone spout used for its handle seals in order to prevent spills, and opens wide for easier pouring. Since it is made out of food safe plastic and silicone, you need not be unduly worried of introducing unwanted and poisonous chemicals into your dishes and food.

All you need to do is insert a couple of peeled cloves in the trapdoor on top, close it up, and then drive your Zoom around. The stainless steel blades within will get the job done for you in no time, and the entire blade unit can also be removed for cleaning to keep hygiene levels up to par at all times. Mom, or the dad who loves pottering around in the kitchen, would definitely appreciate something like this.

Something tells me that getting this for your mate who loves baking might just find a second wind to create this future all time favorite recipe in the family – simply because the ingredients are all carefully measured and spread. What do you think?

Thermador’s new Cooktop uses induction technology for cooking. If you are not familiar with it, it uses magnets instead of a burner to heat what is inside of a pot. Their Freedom Induction Cooktop allows the user to place their pots anywhere on this surface, and the contents inside will be heated to boiling while the area around it will be cool to the touch. (By the way, this induction cooking will work on an uncovered pot, provided the pot is magnetic.)

That alone was enough to sell me, but the company showed off a natural mapping user interface that can instantly recognize cookware size, shape, and position. It comes as a 6.5-inch full color touchscreen.

I honestly believe that a system like this should be in every household. Not only is it safer, but it is also easier to clean. Considering that it already has a touchscreen, I see no reason why it can’t store recipes on that as well. Unfortunately, this system is pretty expensive as it costs $4,949. If you can afford it, it will be available in July 2012.
