If you’re a fan of barbeques, pyromania or both it’s a good idea to have a fire extinguisher at hand (especially if you make it yourself) and this is the smallest one we’ve seen the PinQY.

Despite it’s size it still manages to extinguish small fires and it only takes a tiny fire to start an inferno. So next time you’re having a romantic meal by candle light don’t forget to get your pinkie Pinqy out.

I do enjoy a good BBQ (even on my DIY barbecue) but my favourite source of vegetables is pizza (hmmmm pizza). Barbecues and pizza don’t normally mix that well which is why I was impressed to see this Grill-Top Pizza Stone.

The Grill-Top Pizza Stone is designed for gas grills but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on a conventional charcoal BBQ (gas is cheating in my house). You rest the stone on top of the grill, stoke it up to the perfect pizza cooking temperature (as shown on the incorporated thermometer) and cook your meat feast.

Available from Williams Sonoma found on uncrate.

This is one phallic looking kitchen gadget, the new and improved Venus Rechargeable Automatic Wine Bottle Opener.

The Venus is capable of de-corking 40 bottles on a single charge. Simply rest it on the neck of the bottle, flick the switch and it will extract the cork, flick the switch in the opposite direction and it will spit it back out. This has got to be the laziest bottle opener ever (short of getting a waiter to do it).
