Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker

by Edwin

There is nothing quite like having some cold ice cream during the sweltering summer heat, and with the Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you don’t have to go all out to purchase a tub since you can make your own ice cream yourself.

With the unique Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you can make ice cream anywhere! Simply add ice and rock salt into the outer chamber and ice cream mix into the inner, then have a ball as you shake it, pass it or roll it! Who would have thought soft serve ice cream makers could be so much fun! The ice cream forms when you roll the ball around. The consistency of your home made ice cream will depend on the ingredients, the ice and salt mix, the outside temperature and shaking frequency. If it’s not quite right, pop the lid back on and roll the Ice Cream Ball around for a few more minutes. Your ice cream mix can be as basic as cream, sugar and vanilla, or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, you can tempt your taste buds with more ambitious flavors, such as Cookies and Cream or Mint Choc Chip. So, if you’re out of ice cream when things heat up, make your own ice cream at home and serve it with your favorite toppings.

Darn it, why didn’t they have these when I was a kid? That way, I wouldn’t have to sneak behind my mom’s back to get some ice cream. You can pick up this delicious device from Gizoo for £19.95.

TUKAANI makes eating Asian food a snap

by Edwin

Those who were brought up in the West and have trouble with chopsticks even until today will definitely appreciate the TUKAANI eating device.

The sterling silver TUKAANI is a hand made eating device for Asian food consumers in the West. It may be held as traditional chopsticks. But unlike the disposable wooden chopsticks, TUKAANI is hand washable and much easier to set on – and use at table. The matt surface and taut movement allow steady grip in the hand. The curl at the end of the TUKAANI provides eased food picking and delivery to the mouth. The loop also allows easier hanging, storage and display.

Well, why not take this as a baby step before you master the chopsticks? After all, there is nothing quite like slurping down a bowl of steaming hot noodles with the help of chopsticks instead of using a fork…

Toastabags toast sandwiches in your toaster

by Ally

If you like your breakfast sandwiches quick and easy, then you might check out these Toastabags.  You could put your sandwich all together with the cheese, ham and whatever else you might put on it and just pop it in the bag.  Then put the bag in your toaster and you can walk away and get ready for work instead of standing at the stove keeping an eye on your food.  Granted you’d likely have to have a toaster that accommodates bagels to get these to work, but it would make your morning much more convenient.

Touchscreen kitchen concept

by Edwin



I guess the future is all about touch – phones, portable media players and even handheld consoles all feature some sort of touchscreen display these days, so what’s keeping this tech out of the kitchen? Enter the Miele concept that comes with a multi-touch surface, making it a snap for you to manipulate the latest recipes and instructions without fear of accidentally burning up that cookbook due to negligence. Other features include an integrated scale and a cooktop interface that connects to your cell phone via Bluetooth, setting up grocery lists in the process. Designers Fiona McAndrew and Conor Fallon have outdone themselves this time round by including an integrated blender and steamer as well. I guess it doesn’t hurt not thinking about the possibility of such a kitchen in the future since this is but a concept, right?

Skone makes pouring a snap

by Edwin

Skone definitely wants to help you out in the kitchen, as it empowers kids to do their bit at home while promoting a closer bond between parents and their offspring. After all, a family that works together stays together (or should it be eat?), and Skone has a couple of devices that help make that possible – the Garden pourer and Kitchen pourer. The former is a garden bottle spout that measures 13″ long, while the latter is a kitchen bottle pourer that is 3″ shorter. They fit onto virtually any soda/water bottle to make an instant watering can to help dad out in the garden or mom in the kitchen without creating a mess, as kids can learn to pour beverages efficiently and quickly.

Doctor Who Ice Cube Tray brings all the Daleks to the yard

by AndrewD

We must deal with the facts. The original Doctor Who series is dead and buried, impossible to return to its original glory. The new episodes are all well and good, but the original series, that’s where the classics lie in an eternal archive. A memory of the budding influence on every single low budget special effect sci-fi series to follow.

But the memories are still intact! Saved on our stacks of DVDs and perhaps a VHS tape or two. And of course, in our minds. For the biggest Doctor Who fans, there is just not enough time in the day to immerse yourself in the fictional world. Thanks to these Doctor Who Ice Cube Trays, we can even involve the series into our meals and boozing.

The Rab Mixer makes mixing a little more childlike

by Ally

It has just occurred to me, upon seeing this design that I have never seen a novelty mixer.  I mean we have novelty gadgets in general galore.  However, the poor mixers they are stuck with just getting a few bright colors.  Yes, you can get the more expensive ones but they are just better, not novelty or cool.  I know it was exciting when they threw in a pink mixer, but seriously that’s not really thinking outside of the box.  Well the designer Ming Tong has created these cute little guys resembling bunnies.

Color Coded Cutting Boards prevent Cross Contamination

by James

One of the chef issues with food preparation, aside from the dreaded salmonella, is cross-contamination. Cross contamination is where you use the same cutting board to cut your chicken as you do your vegetables and bacteria or other contaminates from their way from one to the other. No big deal if the cook is making Pasta Primavera, but if it’s a chicken salad, then that dreaded “S” word can rear it’s ugly head if the cook forgets to wash the cutting board between dishes. Unless, of course, they have this nifty color-coded set of cutting boards.
