Self Stirring Electric Pot

by Edwin

They say that too many cooks spoil the soup, which is why it is advisable to have two cooks at most in the kitchen. What happens when you’re shorthanded and need to whip up a delicious meal for the rest of the family that day? Fret not, the Self Stirring Electric Pot is here to save the day, and as its name suggests, this electric cooker will be able to automatically stir ingredients, freeing you to prepare other parts of the meal.

A spatula has been specially integrated into the bottom of the pot, where it will continue to rotate autonomously as food cooks, helping you mix ingredients and lifting bits of food which would otherwise stick and burn. The spatula itself can be adjusted to continue stirring until you turn it off, or just intermittently, so that a simmering soup’s ingredients are well incorporated.

Capable of adjusting from 200º F to 375º F, it lets you sauté, sear, braise, boil, or simmer, where the tempered glass lid works great in retaining moisture during cooking. At $99.95, why not get this for Mother’s Day?

Day/Night Mug

by Edwin

Want to have two mugs for the price of one? That’s easily done with the Day/Night Mug, where £12.99 will net you this rather cool looking piece of drinking equipment that is set to let you stand out from the rest of your colleagues in the office pantry.

When it is cool and residing in the cupboard (or having an ice cold liquid inside), then you will find that the global surface shown is dark, with some lights in major cities there for realism’s sake. In order to play God, just pour some hot water inside to mix your favorite cup of Java, and speak the powerful words, “Let there be light!”, and you will find that this heat-reactive mug will transform into the standard blue world map. No idea on how many times the transformations can occur before the material starts to lose its ability, but we believe it will be for a long, long time.

Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine

by Edwin



There is nothing quite like waking up early in the morning to a nice, steaming hot cup of coffee. Of course, it takes a seasoned hand to know how to make a good cuppa, but then again a good machine would also probably do its part in the process. The Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine that will come in both red and white color choices is now available for pre-order, and it isn’t an April Fool’s joke when it ships on April 1st for £134.99 each.

Experience an eye-opening dose of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee in the morning with the Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine, where it is not only simple to use, it is also small and extremely tasteful in design. Capable of accommodating freshly ground coffee and ESE pods, the Guzzini would be comfortable residing in just about any kitchen, regardless of whether it is an apartment or a huge landed piece of property.

You have got to like the SWITL spatula

by Mark R

Sometimes it is the simple things in life that you appreciate the most. For example, something that can clean up a ketchup or mayonnaise stain without leaving any trace evidence (for lack of a better word).

This is the Furukawa Kikou SWITL robot hand, and I have a video of it after the jump removing an ugly stain. What makes it really interesting is how that it is able to put the stain back, as if the stain was never removed in the first place.

PoachPod for the perfect poached egg

by Edwin

You know these days, whenever anyone mentions the words “poached eggs”, all I can think off is the Angry Birds stage. I can’t help it, everywhere you turn, you see things that have to do with Angry Birds, ranging from movie trailers to backpack clips.

Well, the PoachPod is definitely useful if you’re a fan of poached eggs, as it is touted to offer you the best DIY poached eggs in town, and for just £4.99 to boot! Getting the right amount of heat is an art form and a delicate operation, requiring precise timing and perfect temperature water, although all of the planets need not be aligned.

With the PoachPod, it is a snap – all you need to do is crack an egg into a flexible silicone mold, where you can let it bob about on the surface of gently boiling water for just a few minutes. Whenever it is ready to serve, all you need to do is run a spoon around the inside and turn it out for perfection.

Chumby Gets an Update – He’s Back and Better Than Ever

by Julie

We have certainly told you about Chumby before, and while I am a huge fan of what I have called a glorified alarm clock, it has always come up a bit short of spectacular. It’s a lot of fun, don’t get me wrong, but it could have been great. It just fell short of utilizing what it seemed like it had the capabilities of doing all along.

Well, it’s time to meet the Chumby 8, who is faster, bigger, stronger and does everything you wondered why your old Chumby didn’t! Of course you still get all of the same great Chumby content and features offered in past Chumby models with a whole bunch of new features, including an internet browser, easier setup, ready to play channels, free subscriptions, cool upload features, a scheduling service, videos and apps, new music sources including Napster and, wait for it… the battery back-up it needed all along!

Salt & Power Shakers

by Edwin

The dining table often uses pretty standard fare for most folks, even when it comes to utensils and the ilk. Well, if you want to be different from the rest of the Joneses out there, you would do well to consider the Salt & Power Shakers. This unique set will definitely go down well with all those who have a bent for gizmos and geekery, and to cost only $18? Sounds (and looks) like a bargain to us.

After all, our bodies too need “batteries” which come in the form of food, and with the right amount of pepper and salt on a dish, your taste buds will explode in ecstasy. Why not do so with this special set? A transparent strip on the outside that lines up vertically will let you know just how much content there is left inside before you make a refill. Shaped to look like a D-cell battery, a rubber stopper is located at the bottom when you need to fill it up.

iPhone controls your kitchen island

by Edwin



No longer is the superwoman multi-tasker the queen of the kitchen – it might seem as though your kitchen island will soon be controlled by nothing but an iPhone! Yup, the smartphone that has clearly revolutionalized the way we look at how humans interact with phones is not only able to let you enjoy your favorite music on the go, snap great photos and shoot videos, it will now be able to control stuff in your kitchen island.

There is a hydraulic scissor lift that is bolted to the cement, where a small frame is also built on top of the scissor lift table. Right on top of that is a subfloor, flooring, followed by the island. Its cabinet doors are located on the other side, where all of them will come with safety push button switches which ensures electricity from the Smart Home Insteon switches are “killed” to prevent any movement whenever the doors are not fully closed.

What are some of the other iPhone controlled items that you would love to have in your pad?
