Philips brings toasters to the 21st century

February 29th, 2008 by Chris in Cooking Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets

Phillips toaster

Toast has to be one of the most simplistic pieces of food to make that actually requires preparation. Just pull out the bread, pop it in the toaster, pull down the lever and it does the rest. The toaster itself is rather simple, you have metal brackets that hold down the toast and wires along the sides that heat up your bread. However, that just seems too simple for Philips, who has created a more modern toaster.

Senseo Base HD7810 Coffee-maker for one

February 28th, 2008 by Mark R in Kitchen Gadgets, Home Gadgets

Senseo Base HD7810

I have to admit that I am not a coffee drinker, but I know that many of my readers probably can’t live without it. Maybe you are the type who drinks the whole pot made by your coffee maker, but right now, I would like to speak to those who only just need one in the morning

That’s right, for all you single people who awake in the morning with only a mild need for caffeine, there is finally a product for you. Senseo, in cooperation with Philips, has created a series of coffee makers, and I got a chance to try out the Senseo Base HD7810.

The HD7810 had a very easy setup, and all that it required from the user is to fill the metal, dishwasher safe canister and add a coffee-making pod. The pods are these pre-packaged coffee-ground and filter combinations that resemble circular teabags, and they come in many flavors. Adding one more pod to the Senseo Base will increase your coffee strength to Strong, if that is what you need.

Robot Coupe Bread Slicer: I Have No Words.

February 28th, 2008 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

robot_coupe.jpgI know - this is another day of “wow that’s a gadget I would have never thought of” here at Coolest Gadgets. You all will recall the friggin’ awesome Steak Toaster from last week (which is still the most awesome thing ever) - and now this week we have an innovation in bread slicing.

I know what you’re thinking - “bread slicing? Is that the best thing since sliced bread?” as you dissolve into giggles at your own cleverness. Again, some clever (but slightly twisted) individual took a look at his salad shooter, then at his baguette lying on the counter and though “dude, I need something to shoot sliced baguette!” Thus the Robot Coupe Bread Slicer was born.

Being neither a robot nor a coupe, the Robot Coupe Bread Slicer is a gleaming, stainless steel monolith that will tear through baguette like a hot knife through butter. The description from the seller’s website (spelling errors not corrected!):

Dine on your pool table

February 25th, 2008 by Chris in Kitchen Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

FusionTable

One of my favorite hobbies is to play pool. Unfortunately the town where I live doesn’t seem to care for pool halls, and the only tables to be found are in seedy bars. Needless to say, I haven’t played much lately. There have been many times over the years that I’ve wanted to purchase my very own table so I could play whenever I wanted. The main issue that always arises is space. I don’t generally have a lot of spare room, and my wife refuses to entertain the idea of getting rid of our dining room table. However, I just might be able to talk her into a FusionTable.

Home Kitchen Compost helps build a home garden

February 22nd, 2008 by James in Garden Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Home Gadgets

NatureMill Pro

The Victory Garden. Planted at private residences in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom during World War I and World War II to help suppliment the food supply during World War II. Even over sixty years later they’re still popular. And with the cost of food rising lately, it seems a good idea for everyone to grow one. But few are successful at it. Some don’t know how, and most simply don’t have a steady supply of compost, which can help fertilize the soil. And if you live in an apartment, a victory garden is out of the question, isn’t it? Not if you have a NatureMill PRO Indoor Composter.

When you think party ice, think Tetris!

February 22nd, 2008 by James in Conceptual Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Home Gadgets

TetrIce

Following on the heals of Lego ice cube trays, a design artist is bandying about the concept of Tetris ice cubes aptly named “Tetrice.” Only in concept at the moment, but the silicon molds would create each official shape of the colossally popular computer game so that cocktails can take on a decidedly more interactive appeal. Toss in some food coloring for accuracy and you have a fun ice cube mold for parties and games. Just make sure you wear gloves to prevent frost bite.

Steak Toaster = Greatest Thing EVER

February 21st, 2008 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

steakhouse-grill-ariete.jpgWho doesn’t love steak? “Vegetarians,” you might say - but for the purposes of this review, everyone loves steak! Now I genuinely love a nice steak, cooked to medium to medium rare on a grill with some sauteed mushrooms and onions on the side, steamed vegetables and a nice baked potato. I’m drooling just thinking about it.

But what if it’s too cold to grill outside? What do you do then?

Some visionary looked at a steak and thought “wow…I could totally toast that sucker!”. Thus the Steak Toaster (a.k.a. the SteakHouse Grill) was born. From the product’s website:

New electric grill that takes true grilling to the table. With SteakHouse Grill, food products cook without coming into contact with their fats as is true with traditional grilling. It leaves behind neither smoke nor smells in the kitchen. In fact, its vertical position ensures that the fats drain into the special tray. Not only is the food lighter and tastier, but this also prevents the formation of annoying smoke as the fats stay far away from the heating elements. It is kept in a vertical position while cooking by the special internal grill equipped with springs that adapt to foods having different thicknesses, from 3 cm down to half a centimeter. The two vertical plates also guarantee cooking is completed in half the time because the foods cook on both sides at the same time, and without having to turn them over.

Tic Tac Toast

February 18th, 2008 by Edwin in Childrens Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

tictactoast.jpg

Mother always said not to play with your food, but with the Tic Tac Toast, that warning comes across as harder to follow.

Another good reason to play with your food! The Tic Tac Toast stamper combines the fun of tic-tac-toe with the tastiness of toast. Just press this 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ plastic stamper into a piece of bread, then put your bread in the toaster. The resulting toast will be branded with a tic-tac-toe grid! When the toasted gameboard is ready, all thats left to do is pick some tasty toppings and play a game.

No prizes for guessing who gets to ear the toast. At least you know both peanut butter and jelly will be more or less evenly spread out. The Tic Tac Toast is going for $2.99 a bite.
