Pilar Faucet turns on from just a touch

October 16th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

delta_pilar_faucet

We’ve all had those days when your hands are full and you need to turn on the faucet.  It likely happens much more to parents with little ones.  Trying to balance a baby on the hip while needing to turn on the water.  It’s of course possible to pull off the task.  However, it’d be far easier to do it with this Pilar faucet.  Instead of having to turn a handle, all you have to do is touch the faucet and it kicks on immediately.

Cheese Grater Light makes cheese graters almost stylish

October 15th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

Alright, so I’m aware it’s a touch on the strange side to put a light inside of a bright orange cheese grater.  However, being a person who has a tendency to wander the house at night, it’s always nice to have a dim light going in the kitchen.  Then if you’re going to keep a light in the kitchen, you might as well make it a light that looks like it belongs in the kitchen.

It does make sense, but I realize that it does take a little extra work to justify it.  What doesn’t really help matters any is the price.  After all, one could pick up a light, a cheese grater and some orange spray paint and do the job themselves.  Items that could easily enough be done on your own always are more difficult to stomach the price tag.  This isn’t helping matters any though by costing you £29.00 or about $47.  It’s not a horrifying price, but it still seems like a bit much.  You can find yourself one of these cute lamps through The Conran Shop.

Programmable Tea Thermometer and Timer

For some it takes years of toying to discover exactly how long to let their tea brew.  It’s made especially complicated by the fact that there are white, green and black teas.  Then to top it off there are loose and bagged teas.  All of that information changes how you handle things.  You also have to consider how strong you prefer your tea.  Instead of trying to remember how long for each type, you can have an electronic device to work it out for you.

Rechargeable Wine Opener from Sharper Image

October 13th, 2009 by Mark R in Electronic Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

00011166-z1Those who are wine connoisseurs and those who just drink wine every so often have one problem in common: the struggle of opening the bottles. Sure, you could use a corkscrew, but I have had instances where the corkscrew gets stuck, or worse, goes down the side of the cork instead of the center. Good luck trying to get the cork out then. Since technology is supposed to make our lives easier, perhaps it was time that someone invented an electrical wine opener. For some reason, I am not surprised that it is Sharper Image to the rescue.

The Recharageable Wine Opener come with a foil cutter that allows the user to press the top of the bottle, and then spin it for a perfect cut off the top. From there, he or she just places the Rechargeable Wine Opener on the cork, pushes the button, and the automated corkscrew drills right in. There is a video after the jump if you want to see it in action.

Safe slice prevents cut fingers.

Safe slice prevents cut fingers.

If your little ones are expressing an interest in cooking, you can always make them your “sous chef” and get them to cut up the veggies. I know, I know, what are you nuts? Give our kid a knife to cut carrots? Well, with the Safe Slice, they’ll be as safe as watching you cut em.

The Ham Dogger turns your burger into your hot dog

Turn your burger into a hot dog, or even stuff it with the Dam Dogger

Turn your burger into a hot dog, or even stuff it with the Dam Dogger

If you’ve ever stopped off at a 7-11 and had a hankerin’ for a hot dog, you’ve probably seen not only those extremely bad for you “Big Bites” rotating on the warmer, but also those hot dog shaped masses of “mystery meat” which sport all kinds of flavors from breakfast sausage to philly cheese steak – and all packaged in a hot dog like tube that you can slather all kinds of chili and cheese like sauce on top of. Man, if that doesn’t spell triple coronary bypass, I don’t know what does. Well, aren’t we lucky that we can create our own mystery meat dogs right in the comfort of our own kitchen with the Ham Dogger!

g-Spout does away with spills

October 7th, 2009 by Edwin in Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

gspoutI’ve always looked in amazement at people in the kitchen who are able to pour out liquids from one container to another without spilling even a single drop, but with the g-Spout, you can be just like the professionals – as long as you’re willing to fork out the $12.99 asking price for it.

The g-Spout is a simple device to help you pour accurately and easily from skillets, pans, bowls and cans. It is easily attached to a skillet, double boiler, bowl or can. Made of high temperature food grade silicone, the g-Spout is microwave and dishwasher safe. The g-Spout was originally developed to encourage the environmentally responsible disposal of cooking grease and oil, and to help eliminate clogged drains and sewers. But, the g-Spout has become so much more! Customers are suggesting new uses almost every day! It’s great for making cupcakes, muffins, and pancakes without drips or baked on batter; drizzling chocolate, and caramel from a double boiler; pouring paint back into bottles; straining fruit salad, vegetables or rice; pouring sugar, salt or coffee; and of course, straining hot bacon or hamburger grease into disposable containers.

Of course, this handy gizmo need not only see action in the kitchen, it can be used in the garage, shop, RV and even the craft room. Guess the more clumsy ones among us now have a useful gadget to aid them around the house!
