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?
Listening to music while cooking makes fixing a meal an adventure. The only problem is lugging your laptop or, heaven forbid, an entire docking station into the kitchen, which will take up valuable counter space.
Unless it’s incorporated into your cooking utensils, you’ll have to blast the sound from the adjacent room and hope that you don’t upset the neighbors. It is from this train of thought that brought about the Joy scale, which has incorporated a docking station into a food scale.
Functionality is important to all of us, and this device is a all-in-one for the bakers and chefs out there. This will show you results in increments of .04 ounces / 1 gram. There are battery and overload indicators to let you know how the system is functioning. The automatic shut off that is programmed into the system will make sure you have a long-lasting battery life. Though I’m rather sad that there is no option to us a wall adapter for power. At only $99.99, this is a docking system worth it weight. You’ll just want to make sure that you keep the surrounding area tidy.
Do you happen to hold plenty of parties at your home? If the answer is yes, then you might just want to look into purchasing, or at least, pre-ordering the Koziol Torr Corkscrew.
After all, for £19.99 a pop, this unique looking bull lets you grab it by its horns, lift it and all you need to do is remove the corkscrew from his head and you’re good to go, drinking your favorite alcoholic beverage as you celebrate yet another milestone in your life.
The Koziol Torr Corkscrew, after all, comes with a cleverly-hidden steel spiral that is perfect for uncorking your favourite vino. You will probably be popping more bottles open at a much faster rate then before, and your guests will certainly be more than happy to see a seemingly never ending flow of their favorite wine.
In this day and age, getting things done instantly is more often than not the top priority of most folks. There is the microwave for instant TV dinners, instant noodles from the Japanese, heck, how about instant messaging on your desktop and mobile devices? This could be why even your little ones want instant frozen ice lollies – now as a working mom, just how are you going to cater to that whim?
Enter the Ten Minute Frozen Juice Pop Maker – the name itself is self-explanatory. This frozen juice pop maker will freeze up to a trio of homemade juice pops, taking a mere ten minutes to do so. The device will need to be primed in a freezer for 24 hours beforehand though, where it is capable to run for 30 minutes (that means making nine 2 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ frozen juice pops) before requiring a refreezing procedure in the freezer. Not exactly the best returns, but for $49.95 a pop (no pun intended), this might be just the thing to get for the summer.
If you love a good cup of espresso but hate the excess energy required to make one, the Airspresso might just be for you. The device makes you a hot cuppa in almost the same way as a traditional espresso maker. The difference is, instead of using steam, it uses air from a bike pump.
It looks a little like a miniature water bottle, but the Airspresso is actually a tiny espresso maker. All you need to do is add your coffee, water, and a filter, and then attach a pump to make it nice and creamy. You will have to find a way to heat the water yourself, but since the gadget is designed for outdoor use, chances are you’ll have a fire going for that purpose.
Sounds like a great idea, albeit with one major, potentially crippling flaw: it costs $180. That’s one expensive cup of energy-free espresso.
There are some of you out there who love singing in the bathroom, while others prefer to sing in the kitchen instead. Well, if you’re the resident chef of your household, then you would do well to check out the £9.99 Sing-A-Long Tongs.
Conveniently shaped to look like a microphone, they’re perfect for you to serenade the corn as well as other side dishes while you’re busy marinating some of the meat. Just make sure that while you sing, you wear a face mask over just in case your saliva starts to splash all over the place.
Being dishwasher safe, it is a snap to clean up once you’re done with your meal preparation, while the metal tong with silicone covered tips are heat resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit for your cooking pleasure.
Convergence devices are the rage these days, just put your hand in your pocket and pull out that iPhone of yours. With the apps and accessories going for it, it is much, much more than just a phone. Well, home appliances do some convergence as well, although not as much. Take for instance, the Breville Radio Toaster – the name alone gives the game away, where you can enjoy to your favorite breakfast of toast with marmalade, while tuning in to the wake-up calls of radio DJs on a station of your choice.
Currently up for pre-order, the Breville Radio Toaster will cost you £49.99, but that is a small price to pay considering the wonder that this toaster will invoke whenever you have a guest who stays over at your place in the morning and wakes up to the sweet smell of perfectly toasted bread as well as their favorite artiste singing in the background.
Now, for Breville engineers to go back to the drawing board and include a coffee maker in this puppy for the next iteration. Surely that is not too much to ask, no?
The weather is still frigid and hot tea might be the preferred beverage these days, but keep in mind a scorching/blazing/torturous summer lies ahead. In such parched conditions, how do people maintain their liquid happiness? With iced drinks of course. Enter Oster BLTET-C. According to the product description “ice doesn’t stand a chance.”
The genius of the BLTET-C is is not only blends your favorite drinks, but shaves ice en masse as well. Cool, huh? Thanks to a 500-Watt Ice Shaver that can be activated at the flick of the button, the frozen stuff will soon be crushed to sate the thirst of drinkers.
Even cooler (ha, get it?) is once put through the rigors of a swingin’ par-tay, the BLSTET-C is hand washable, with parts left out to dry until the next time its’ used.
The controls aren’t rocket science either, with easy-to-use functions that allows an inventive host to crank out frozen yogurt drinks in record time.
Though it’s being marketed as a party appliance, rather than suffer the inconvenience of having uninvited crashers at your pad, it might be best to just keep the BLSTET-C hidden away for those special occasions.
The oster BLSTET-C Ice Shaving Blender is currently going for $129.50 at Amazon.
