Hasta La Gadget!

I imagine that there’s a pretty healthy overlap in the Venn
diagram of pizza lovers and Star Trek fans, and the clever kids over at Think
Geek have done a pretty great job splitting the difference.

The Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutter is a realization of
the true purpose of that big round thing atop the NCC-1701 Enterprise–cutting delicious
pizza pies. The cutter is made of stainless steel and features a laser-etched four inch blade and a zinc alloy body.

The utensil is an officially licensed Star Trek item, but it’s

Trek fan in your life who has everything–save for an amusing way to break
homemade pizza into smaller portions. 

It may not be your birthday, but it’s most definitely the weekend. And if you’re looking to have a “good time,” there’s hardly a better place to look than your local ABC store.

Most manufacturers are always on the look out for ways to design and build next-generation products that pack more tech into smaller space. Electrolux recently held their annual Design Lab Competition, and the winner was The Snail, a concept portable induction heater that may one day replace the need for traditional stoves and cook-tops.

The Snail was the brainchild of designer Peter Alwin, who envisioned a kitchen without a range, but instead the ability to attach a gadget to the side of a pot or saucepan and use induction heating to cook the contents of the pan.
