The Only Indoor Rotisserie Turkey Fryer

While many families in the US celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday season with a roasted turkey, have you ever wondered whether one should eat turkey as and when one likes to without having to wait for Thanksgiving? Either way, November is coming, so you might want to brace your wallet for the $279.95 The Only Indoor Rotisserie Turkey Fryer from Hammacher. The name itself says it all – this indoor fryer comes with a rotating rotisserie which is touted to be able to cook a crispy, succulent whole turkey faster than ever before, all minus the nuisance of outdoor frying.

Not only that, it is a whole lot healthier as well as it uses 33% less oil compared to standard vats. In other words, after performing some mathematical calculations, this particular fryer is able to cook an 18-lb. turkey in slightly more than an hour, now how about that? Thanks to the unit’s alternating-rotating spit, it will turn the bird slowly as it cooks, resulting in a uniformly crisp exterior and moist, flavorful meat.

Other features include a lighted indicator, an 1800-watt heating element, a 120-minute timer, and a meat thermometer for the most delicious of results.

Get the Groceries Right!

Some of the most successful products evolve strictly out of making our lives easier. We could survive without it, but in our continuing efforts to save time or hassle the product takes off. Think about it. Who thought bagged lettuce would ever succeed? Or the universal remote control? Well, there’s another product on the horizon that may just will do the same thing.

Currently on Kickstarter is hiku, a grocery list creation and reminder tool. What makes it so different? It involves a separate device – meaning smart phones need not be present to submit an item to the list – and it uses the cloud. hiku is smaller than a computer mouse and can live on the counter or the fridge. Simply designed, it enables users to make notes to themselves about groceries they need in two ways: by scanning the UPC code or making a voice memo. Simple right? Not so fast. hiku then sends your reminders, via the cloud, to your hiku account. You can then access the information via hiku app or any web browser. That means any member of the house can submit requests and know that the shopper will get the message. hiku will be open, for integration with other list programs like Remember the Milk, Astrid Tasks and Evernote. Funding is in progress, and you can support hiku for as little as $2. Assuming funds are raised, launch is anticipated in early 2013.

So if simplify grocery shopping and end the days of running out of your favorite stuff by helping hiku become a reality!

Actifry – All the Pleasure and None of the Guilt

I know I am not alone in my love of fried foods. I’m also well aware that not only are they not good for ME, they really aren’t good for anybody. So I try to have them in moderation, but I always find myself craving some fries. I’ve tried baking them… just not the same. So I just deprive myself for as long as I can, and then I end up doing the wrong thing, and I go and eat an enormous plate of cheese fries. Come on, isnt there a better way?

I guess you knew that there was. Check out Actifry, made by Tefal and providing you with delicious fried food taste, by using only 1 measly tablespoon of oil you can “fry” up a whole 2 pounds of french fries, saving you and your family from the oil used in your traditional deep fat fryer. The Actifry let’s you dish up the fries with only a 3% fat content for a whole entire serving. Bring on the Ketchup!

How does it work you ask? With a unique paddle and stirring system you simply drizzle a tiny amount of oil on your fresh cut potatoes and using a special pulsed heat, your food is cooked to perfection. With a 2.2 pound capacity, the Actifry doesn’t stop there, cook up some mushrooms and onions, get your nuggets extra crispy, or how about some chicken wings, stir-fry, or even risotto?

The Actifry runs about 220 bucks and comes with a ceramic coated pan and a transparent steam free lid, which are both dishwasher safe. The Actifry has a unique filter which dramatically cuts down unwanted cooking odors, and the unit helps you keep an eye on your food with a countdown timer and buzzer. So start peeling the sweet potatoes and check one out at amazon.com

Talking Measuring Cup

Now here is a rather novel idea that might just make you wish that things in the kitchen are a bit more modernized and digital, something like those kitchens that you see in science fiction movies which depict a far off future. Everything would be computerized by then, there would be no need for human waiters and cooks, and robots would do a perfectly fine job in serving customers. While we are not quite there yet in terms of technology, how about something a little bit closer to home and yet has a whiff of an optimistic future – the $59.95 Talking Measuring Cup.

The Talking Measuring Cup will be able to verbally announce the volume of wet or dry ingredients, doing away for the need to make an estimate by eye. Whenever you set it in its base, the cup will be able to state just the right amount that has been poured inside, and if you were looking out for a sexy and deep male voice, you would be sorely disappointed since a clear female voice would perform the readings. For instance, 1 1/4 cups is spoken as “one and one-fourth cups”, and you are able to take advantage of the tare function by adding multiple ingredients without emptying the cup.

Sporting a three-cup capacity cup that is made out of unbreakable frosted plastic, it will be accompanied by a removable flip-up lid, and is microwave and dishwasher safe so that it is a snap to use and clean up afterwards. Powered by a couple of AAA batteries, the Talking Measuring Cup makes for the perfect Christmas present for any foodie who loves to cook.
