The Flavia Fusion is a pretty cool drink maker; you can get a very wide variety of drinks at the push of a button.

All you have to do is insert the “filterpack”, which are sealed, foil-fresh single serving packs of your favorite drinks. That means there’s no preparation, you don’t have to guess how much coffee to put in or water, you get the perfect serving every time.

Mmm, ice cream, it’s terribly unhealthy, but delicious nonetheless. There have been ice cream makers for the home before, but soft serve has always been something you had to go to a real ice cream store for.

Not anymore, the Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream maker produces professional soft serve ice cream, yogurt, sorbet, or sherbet. All you do is add the ingredients. That’s right, no yucky chemicals, salt, or other funky things, just the stuff you put in. You can make 1.5 quarts of sorbet/sherbet/soft serve in as little as 20 minutes.

This is one of those products that is nearly too sensible for us to write about, an antimicrobial sanitizer that uses dry heat instead of steam.

The dry heat sanitizer will kill 99.9% of germs in 30 minutes, so is ideal for babies bottles, pacifiers (dummies to us normal folk) and even the rubber duck your child likes to chew suck on.

Available for $69.95 from Hammacher which is probably one of the cheapest products Hammacher sells.

I have mixed opinions about this new product. On one hand it’s a really neat example of just what science is capable these days, however on the other hand it’s terribly, terribly sad that such a product is even necessary. The Smart Egg takes all guess work out of cooking an egg so all you need to do is watch it to know when it’s done.

If you thought there couldn’t possibly be any more wireless gadgets left to be made, you were wrong. It seems that in this day and age just about any task you want to do has a wireless substitute. This wireless gadget allows you to remotely monitor the temperature of your meat so you can be a mindful chef while being able to do other tasks at the same time.

The base transmitter thermometer constantly sends the current temperature of your meat back to the hand held receiver which you can carry with you anywhere within 100′ of the oven.

I love having barbeques its so much fun . Get all your mates together, sit in the garden under the sun, have a few beers, cook some sausages and miniature corn on the cobs. But there is a lot to prepare before hand. You need all the food items, drinks, utensils, rubbish bags etc. With everything needed for a barbeque you could easily be put off having one. Not to mention things getting blown off the table buy strong gusts of wind. The same can be said for camping. Don’t get me wrong I love camping, but eating is such a hassle.

This is another of those “why didn’t I think of that” products which is made even more embarrassing by the fact it was invented by ex Big Brother housemates. The tea bag bin is a mini bin with flip lid that you keep next to your kettle.

The idea of the tea bag bin is to prevent you dripping tea all over the floor, or having a sink or saucer full of used tea bags. Simply brew your tea then place the used in the mini bin that’s next toy your cup. Simple, obvious yet pretty ingenious IMO.
