Super computer Watson can crush puny humans at Jeopardy. It can do a pretty bang-up job as a doctor. It can swear up a storm. Two of those aren’t easy for a normal person, but that’s not enough for IBM. IBM wants more. And part of it’s plan to push Watson to its limits should really get things cooking. Literally. More »
Sometimes a multi-tasking kitchen tool can go too far, taking on so many tasks that it sucks at everything it tries to do. The Chef2 spoon appeared to strike a nice balance between spatula and tong duties. But this multifunction pasta prepper from Sagaform? It might be stretching itself too thin. More »
When it comes to kitchen appliances, women want colors that match their decor. Men want what they usually want. Something cool that looks nothing like what women want. Preferably, their kitchen appliances should look like Boba Fett. That’s why Tommyfilth talked his wife into buying a broken old Kitchenaid for Christmas. It would soon get a super nice makeover.
Soon he refurbished it into this Boba Fett Mixer. It’s got some excellent battle-worn armor and it mixes batter like there was a bounty on baked goods. I’m sure they have already made their share of Star Wars cookies and cakes with this thing.
Okay Disney, your move – let’s see some more officially licensed Star Wars appliances now.

So you like to grill when the weather is nice, but you hate cleaning all of that grime off of your grill. It’s tough. The grease and dirt always sticks to the grate and it can be a real pain to scrub off. Like many things in life, you need a robot to help. That’s where Grillbots will come in handy.
They are basically Roombas for your grill. They scrub off dirt, oil and grime with brushes on their underside as they move and they can do the job whether the grill is hot or cold. They work on gas or charcoal grills and are powered by a rechargeable battery. They have a small LCD to program them for either a light or deep clean.
Other features include an LCD alarm, timer and replaceable brushes. Ethan Woods, the inventor of the Grillbot, spent a few years developing these bots after cleaning his grill using a wire brush attached to a power drill. His system worked great, but a grill-cleaning robot is even better.
Grillbot will come in four colors to start. They will be available this June for $69.95(USD) for the base model. A premium version, with extras, will sell for $99.95(USD).

At some point over the past year appliance makers began a design war to see who could come up with the most innovative and original range hood designs. And with its new retractable Pareo hood, Italy’s Faber has just made a strong push towards victory and bringing an end to that war of aesthetics. More »
