Join Bar10der is a unique Swiss-army (bar) knife
Have you ever wanted to be a bartender in an alternate life? If your answer is in the affirmative, then you would definitely fall for the £29.99 Bar10der for sure. Touted to be a unique Swiss-army (bar) knife, it will feature not one, a couple, a trio, or even a quadruplet – but rather, 10 utensils that the modern mixologist would require, where they range from a muddler, a jigger, a strainer and a stirrer, among many others.
Assuming the folks over at Swiss Army were to create a tool for the regular bartender, you can say that the Bar10der is the kind of bar-tool which would end up rolling off the production line. Sporting a sturdy construction, it comes in an attractive and handy design, and the entire shebang would measure somewhere around 9cm to 15cm in length, depending on what function it is in at that point in time, and 4cm in width and an equal amount of length in height.
The Best Electric Knife Sharpener
Hammacher has had its fair share of “the best” series of appliances, and here we are with yet another one today, where it will grace the kitchen counter. After all, where else would you store your knives, no? The $219.95 Best Electric Knife Sharpener is on our list of gizmos to cover for today, where it is said to produce the sharpest, most resilient edges. After all, during testing, knife blades were dulled through the running of them along cement blocks up to 100 times before testing commenced.
The blades that had gone through the Best Electric Knife Sharpener were said to chop spaghetti squash with little effort, as well as slice smoothly through sheets of paper – perhaps even putting a shade of green on Wolverine’s face along the way. As for serrated knives sharpened using this bad boy, they were cut easily through cardboard, whereas lesser knife sharpener models were unable to sharpen any toothed blades. It is said that the Electric Knife Sharpener picked up the “Best” moniker because it relied on 100% diamond abrasives and stropping discs in order to grind and polish an edge while restoring its original sharpness, and best of all is, taking a mere 10 seconds to do so. A built-in magnet will help catch knife blade shavings for an easy cleanup process afterwards, and this has proven to be one of the quietest models.
Pluck that Yolk
As I have stated before on CG I am a kitchen gadget freak! Look in my kitchen and you will find 4 cheese graters (each suited for different cheeses), 20+ cooking knives (each for different uses), plastic containers in a variety of sized (never know what you have to hold!), half dozen frying pans. You get the point. No, there is not a need for all of it. But it sure is fun! Whenever I see a new device I jump on it. And this is no exception.

A True “Cool” Gadget
A majority of the devices we write about fit into a breadbox. Which is sort of the optimum size for what we define as a gadget. Yet gadgetry should not be limited in size – so say all the car manufacturers at CES and electronics giants like Samsung. Gadgetry should improve the conveniences we already enjoy in life. Like our fridge!

The Only Perfect Temperature Electric French Press
You know, when you have a device that costs close to a Benjamin with a name that goes like this, “The Only Perfect Temperature Electric French Press”, you would surely expect quite a lot from it, don’t you think so? After all, there is the word “perfect” thrown into the mix, so expectations should run pretty high if you are on the lookout for a French press that churns out that perfectly brewed cup of coffee. Surely if the brew turns out otherwise, you might want to look for the culprit elsewhere – like the quality of coffee beans, perhaps?
The Only Perfect Temperature Electric French Press has been touted to be the only French press of its kind that will automatically brew coffee at the perfect temperature for rich, flavorful coffee. It will not be as clumsy as the imprecise heating that happens with a kettle, as this device will work to heat water to between 197° F and 204° F, ensuring that the temperature hovers within that range all the time so that you can extract optimal flavor from beans, followed by transferring the hot water to the French press so that your tongue can dance across the bouquets of flavor that bursts from this pot of coffee. Sporting a durable borosilicate glass body, this bad boy can hold up to 4 cups of coffee, and will be accompanied by a stainless steel plunger and screen.
