Join SieMatic Grid S2 is a multimedia cabinet for the kitchen
This is the SieMatic Grid S2, and it is a multimedia cabinet designed to give us what we all want: to bring the living room entertainment center to the kitchen.
I suppose that this is to alleviate the problem that we all have of trying to cook while watching TV or a DVD. I once burnt up a meal because I was distracted by a really good scene on TV.
I can’t tell if this is a cabinet because this touchscreen is some door of an actual cabinet or if “cabinet” is some figure of speech. Either way, you can play a TV, DVD, or even dock your iPod and watch a video that way. Not only can you watch a video while you’re cooking, but it will give you warnings of when your dish is done with on-screen progress reports.

Snack & Stack utensil set
Don’t you just love words that rhyme? That’s what the Snack & Stack utensil set is all about, where $22 will definitely make your child’s dining experience a whole lot more fun and saving you plenty of frustration in the process. Sounds pretty much like a good investment, no?
At point of publishing, there are only three of these puppies left available, so you might want to hurry up and make a beeline for your purchase. After all, opportunities to liven up your meal times come once in a while, and you wouldn’t want to wait for another 100 years, do you? (we jest here).
The Snack & Stack utensil set can be easily stacked up for easy transportation, especially for folks who buy their lunch and bring it back to the office, requiring some utensils of their own since they are paranoid about using those from the office pantry. It is also small enough to fit into lunch boxes, picnic baskets, desk drawers or glove compartments.
Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker
Back in the days where there was no such thing as a rice cooker, you had to figure it out through experience. How much water do you put inside so that the rice doesn’t end up as porridge? Just how long should you cook the rice under a stove, and when do you turn off the fire? All of those survival skills are more or less lost because of the advent of the dummy-proof rice cooker.
Enter the Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker from ThinkGeek – this rice cooker thinks for itself, where it will make the relevant adjustments to temperature and cooking time, letting you churn out tastebud perfect white rice, brown rice, sushi and even oatmeal. Of course, the $199.99 asking price might be too much for what you’re looking for, but when you take into consideration what it is capable of, it might just be worth every single penny.
Capable of cooking up to 5.5 cups of rice at any one go, geeks will definitely love its extra large colored LCD display alongside an easy-to-use navigation control panel. All purchases will come with a rice measuring cup, rinse-free rice measuring cup, nonstick rice spatula, and spatula holder.
Tardis Mug for Dr. Who fans
Love time traveling? Then the Tardis Mug is the perfect drinking accessory for you, although you won’t be using this to guzzle down beers, but rather, sip your favorite hot beverage. This Tardis-style mug will definitely have the Dr. Who mood, since whenever you pour some hot tea or coffee in it and then take it somewhere cold, you will be able to enjoy watching steam pouring out of it. Heck, it looks so real, it even comes complete with the St. John Ambulance badge as well as white notice on the door.
Basically, this is the mug to purchase if you’re an aspiring Time Lord, used whenever you are not satisfying your hunger for fish fingers and custard. It actually looks larger on the inside than the outside, capable of holding up to 16 oz of your favorite hot beverage. At $15.99 a pop, you won’t be traveling through time anytime soon, but you can stop time as people look at your cool mug.
Death Star Cookie Jar
The Death Star is a symbol of the Empire’s power in the Star Wars universe, and often brings with it a sense of dread to all inhabitants on planets of which comes into the purview of the Death Star. Nice to know that the wonders of miniaturization has resulted in this rather delicious looking Death Star Cookie Jar, where this officially licensed ceramic sculpture will hold as many of your favorite cookies as it possibly can within its 12″ diameter of a body. While all the energy stored in those cookies will be unable to blow up a planet, at least it will send your appetite to the dogs once you’ve stuffed yourself with a few hundred grams of your favorite cookies. At $49.99 a pop, it is far cheaper than building an actual Death Star, and we would recommend to keep this out of reach of children lest their clumsy hands send it crashing down to earth.
Face Mug looks different
Now look at this mug – it is definitely a totally different design from what you’ve seen before, as it will surely make your guests sit up whenever you serve them coffee with this. The Face Mug, as it is obviously and affectionately called, might cost a rather pricey $18, but at least it comes with a hungry mouth orifice that allows you to hang a cookie from it, making it ideal for serving milk as well as cookies, or you can always opt to throw in coffee and doughnuts if that’s your cup of tea (pun not intended). Of course, there is no provision made to contain those crumbs as you chew on the cookies, and it won’t be able to hold as much coffee as some of you might prefer. At least the white ceramic in which it comes in can be artistically painted over by the more enterprising of folks out there.
Saw & Trowel Cake Serving Kit
If you happen to have a taste for the gruesome, then the Saw & Trowel Cake Serving Kit might just take the cake – pun intended. After all, there is nothing quite like getting the right tools for the right job, so the next time you want to celebrate someone’s birthday, the Saw & Trowel Cake Serving Kit will certainly come in handy, although if the birthday boy/girl is rather young, it might result in some disturbance of their psyche down the road – you can never tell, can you? This rather unique cake and serving set will come complete with both a stainless steel hand-saw knife and trowel cake server. It would be interesting to see people bake cakes around this theme, designing them to be sawed instead of cut with a knife. This is going to be one satisfying renovation process, that’s for sure! Sporting gold painted wooden handles and metal, it will cost you $28.99 to bring this into your kitchen.
Color Changing Fish Hot Water Bottle
Animal activists will probably scream blue murder when they come across the Color Changing Fish Hot Water Bottle, but this £9.99 purchase will not feature live fish inside, but fake ones that will change their shades depending on the temperature of the water within. No longer do you need to make a guess on whether the hot water bottle will scald your fingers or not, as these plastic swimmers will turn white if the water is too hot, or purple if the water has turned extremely cold within. Their natural color would be pink, so you can let your eyes do the judging from there. An interesting purchase for the safety-conscious who do not want to end up with unnecessary burns. Bear in mind that it is recommended to use hot water with the Color Changing Fish Hot Water Bottle, and not boiling water.
