I always find making cups of tea a bit of a bore (which is probably why I’m a coffee and beer drinker), you’ve got to drop the tea bag in, fill it with water, wait an age and then squeeze the bag before dropping it in the bin (whilst dribbling bits of staining tea down the wall on route). Once you’ve made the tea you just know the person you made it for is going to complain that it’s too weak or strong. The best solution to this is get the wannabe tea drinker to make it them self. Alternatively you could get this tea bag timer gadget.

The tea bag timer does what you’d expect with a bit of panache. You attach the tea bag to an arm which is lowered into the boiling water, set a timer for the required length of time you would like the brew to stew and when the time is up the arm lifts the tea bag from the cup leaving a perfect brew. So next time a work colleague asks you to make them a cup of tea you can simply tell them to make it themselves :).

You can get the Tea Bag Timer from Lazy Bone (found via Crib Candy).

Here’s a kitchen gadget that has me intrigued; it’s a transparent toaster. If you’ve already ordered the stylish-looking transparent radiators, then this gadget is a must have.

I’m always burning toast, either because the bread’s too thin, the timer’s too long or too short (too short I run the toaster a second time and still burn the toast), but with this gadget even I can’t go wrong.

This is probably one of the hottest rather than coolest gadgets we’ve come across, the world’s first adjustable hot sauce spray.

I do enjoy the odd BBQ and due to my cooking ability (or lack there of) spicing the food after cremation is mandatory to take that charred taste away. A few of my friends are solicitors in Reading, so I’ve got to be very careful of what I feed them as I don’t want to get sued for burning somebodies tonsils out. Dave’s Gourmet whom are already famous for their Insanity Sauce may have the answer to my spicy dilemma, by way of the Adjustable Heat Sauce.

They say you are what you eat, and these kitchen scales can tell you, exactly, the nutritional content of just about any food you use to prepare a meal.

The scales come with an in-built computer that can analyze the nutritional content of the food you are weighing, from a database of over 1,400 different foodstuffs.

The scales not only report on nutritional information, but they can keep a record of total dietary intake, for up to two people, so that you can monitor calorie intake as well as other important dietary information over time.

I managed to get through university without getting past chapter 1 of “Cooking for Blokes” because I couldn’t be bothered to go and buy the extra kitchen utensils necessary to make anything from chapter 2 onwards.

A few years later, I found a dietician who spent a year learning to cook – and I married her. Recently though, it seems to me that all our money goes into the kitchen, one way or another, so I’ve decided I want some of the action!
