Hasta La Gadget!

I don’t know anyone that has a neat and tidy utensil drawer. Okay, maybe my mom, but thats a whole other story. I constantly find myself digging through a pile of (mostly unused) cooking junk. Why do I have to wade through egg slicers, strawberry hullers, and candy thermometers to get to the only stuff I actually do use… like my measuring spoons?

Well, problem solved. Check out Joseph Joseph Magnetic Measuring Spoons. These amazingly useful, super fun, and easily stored measuring spoons are sure to be a kitchen essential. Made of brightly colored plastic, 2 strong magnets located in the handle allow you to stick it on any metal surface, like a range hood or fridge, so they’re always right there when you need them, and, they also make awesome memo holders for shopping lists, or your kids most memorable artwork, or test papers.

The teaspoon and tablespoon ends each contain a ½ measure line to ensure accuracy. The single spoon measures tablespoons, teaspoons, half tablespoons and half teaspoons, are dishwasher safe, and come in a variety of colors, like blue, green, red, black, or yellow. Each spoon measures 6″ L x 1-1/2″ W x 3/4″ H and can be had for under 7 bucks from amazon.com.

I don’t know about you, but I for one absolutely love to have my food piping hot. As in really, really hot, fresh out of the oven or the wok, depending on which particular cuisine that you are fond of. Picnics can be fun, especially when the weather is absolutely beautiful and you have prepared a fair bit of food to share with your loved one(s). The thing is, the food that you bring to picnics are more often than not no longer fresh as though it was just fixed or cooked in the kitchen, so cold sandwiches and the ilk tend to be the food of choice for many. What if I were to tell you that it is possible to bake your own pizza in the woods?

This is what the $2,700 Rapid Heating Wood Burning Pizza Oven is all about. Handcrafted in Marche, Italy, the Rapid Heating Wood Burning Pizza Oven is an outdoor wood-burning oven which can be ready to cook in a matter of just 15 minutes. It will be different from other typical wood burning ovens which require hours of preheating, as this superior oven’s whole cooking chamber has been insulated with basalt, which is a dense, volcanic rock that retains 10 times additional heat compared to the clay or brick that is used in traditional ovens. The oven itself will heat up to 800° F while the domed cooking chamber will result in a natural convection which circulates heat evenly, so that one can cook Neapolitan-style pizza in a matter of three minutes. Now this is pretty neat, don’t you think so?

It’s down to the wire, we’re at the bottom of the ninth, with 2 outs… and you know you still have a few people left on your list that you can’t figure out one thing to get them. Maybe they already have everything, or you’re not sure what they like, in either case, I have the answer, and if you hurry, there’s still time to have one by Christmas.

Check out the Back to the Roots Aquafarm, incorporating both form and function, and utilizing the ancient Aztec art of aquaponics, a sustainable method of farming, combining aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). Scaled way down to this table-top ecosystem that requires no maintenance, other than a little fish food now and then.

This amazingly unique AquaFarm combines a 3-gallon fish tank with a nifty vegetable and herb grow bed into one closed-loop system that fits easily on almost any kitchen counter. The environment takes care of itself, with the waste from the “fishie” providing nutrients for the plants, and the plants purifying the water for the fish!

So get yourself a Betta fish or a couple of Guppies, and use the included organic wheatgrass and basil seeds or get some other leafy greens, like parsley, cilantro or mint, and try your hand at Aquafarming. It’s the perfect gift, for the person that has it all, and its only around 60 bucks at amazon.com. Choose expedited shipping at checkout, or use Amazon Prime, and you can cross that last person off your list. Hurrah!

Yes, we all know there are quite a few advantages to bringing your own lunch to work. Not only is it much more economical and time saving, it’s likely to be a much healthier option than you’ll get at your local fast food joint. I don’t usually mind brown bagging a lunch, but sometimes I enjoy a nice hot meal and unfortunately the communal microwave oven isn’t always the most appealing (or sanitary) option.

Check out HotLogic’s Mini, a fully automatic, personal and portable electric oven designed to let you cook, or simply reheat your food right on your desktop, or almost anywhere you have a power source. The HotLogic Mini is a quality, aluminum lined, super insulated tote with convenient carrying handles, a heating platform and a universal 110v AC power cord.

Designed to hold a container up to 8.75″W x 6.75″L x 2.5″H and able to get your lunchtime treats up to approximately 200 degrees Fahrenheit so you’ll never have to eat cold chicken out of a Ziploc bag again. HotLogic uses a slow cooking method and because the heating container is closed, you can bring your food to temperature and then keep it warm, and deliciously moist, for hours.

The HotLogic comes in blue, black, yellow or orange and enables you to use any flat-bottomed, sealed-top container, including metal, plastic, glass, cardboard, or ceramic and you can get yours at amazon.com for under 45 bucks. So go ahead, start eating healthy, and skip the line at the drive-thru!

Have you ever tried limiting your sweets intake? It can be hard to do on a good day, but when someone bakes a fresh batch of cookies, you’re going to find yourself back in the kitchen every few minutes. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a way that you could force yourself to wait a specific amount of time before eating the next one? Sure, you should be able to control your urges, but sometimes you need that extra help. Well that’s where the Kitchen Safe comes in.

This interesting gadget looks like an ordinary container, but the lid is what really makes this thing stand out. There is a small screen with a timer on the top. You can set the timer to count down from anywhere from one minute to ten days. Once set and secured, the lid won’t come off until the timer reaches zero. There is no override, and even removing the batteries won’t help you get to your sweets. If your batteries do die, the timer will start from where it left off when new ones are installed.

Food isn’t the only thing you can store in these containers. If you want to ground your child from their Xbox for a week, just pop their controller in, and start the countdown. Somehow it makes the punishment seem even worse when they can actually see the controller sitting out every time they walk past.

The container is made from BPA-free plastic, which is perfect for storing all kinds of food. Should you desire, you can choose a solid white container, which is not transparent. This is good for foods that need to be kept out of the light. It measures 6” x 6” x 6.5”, which is a nice size for storing a variety of goods. The Kitchen Safe is currently a Kickstarter project, though at the time of writing, it has received more than 90% of its funding, and still has 26 days to go. If you order during the Kickstarter funding period, you can get a safe for just $25. After that, the price will jump up to $35.
