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!

I’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!

Most of us are aware that drinking bottled water is not the most environmentally friendly way to go.  The reasons behind that being pretty obvious.  Plus bottled water does get expensive over time, when it’d be far cheaper to merely utilize the water that comes straight out of your faucet at home.  Well if you’re concerned as to how safe that water might be, you can give this Smart Water System a whirl.

Electrolux recently sponsored a design contest, and this Cocoon was the winner. You might be wondering what it is, it is a cooker that can “grow” meat and fish by heating animal cells.

Yes, that 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, which sounds like Jetsons-style technology. That, or the Black and Decker Rehydrator from Back to the Future II.

I’m not really a coffee drinker, but I know some people that actually believed that “coffee achievers” ad campaign back in the eighties.

For all those people who just need one small cup to get it going in the morning, they might appreciate the Coffee Pad Machine WMF1. I’m not certain what the last combination of letters and numbers stands for, because it makes it sound like a radio station. “This is WMF1, and it’s time to brew a small cup of coffee.”

Anyway, the Coffee Pad Machine WMF1 is a single serve espresso coffee maker that comes with its one detachable and form-fitting mug. I have included a small series of photos below so you can see what it is like after the jump.

There are many ways people deal with putting out hot dip.  You can always set it out in a pretty tray, but it’s going to get cold after a while.  Then of course you can also just place it in a crock pot with a spoon to dip some out.  The issue with the crock pot is that it’s not all that attractive and if you’re worried about looks it’s not the best option.  Well now you can have the best of both worlds, you can keep your dip warm, all the while serving it on a pretty white tray.
