Hasta La Gadget!

I’m trying to be a little more Earth-friendly. I reuse what I can, and cut down on my contribution to the landfills by not using disposable water bottles. I have a nice array of special glass and plastics that can be used over and over again. I know it’s not much, but at least I feel like I’m doing something. Of course what I don’t like, is cleaning the containers, a bottle brush never seems to do the job, and theres always some residue stuck in some rounded corner I can’t reach. Yuck!

Well, if you find it difficult  to properly  clean some of your narrow-necked vessels, like wine decanters, water bottles, vases or even baby bottles, then you should check out the Magnetic Spot Scrubber. This ingenious little gizmo can clean all those pesky hard to reach places that all the soaking, poking and swiping simply can’t reach. The Magnetic Spot Scrubber is comprised of a special magnetic silicone scrubber with a separate magnetic knob that work together to perform cleaning magic.

You just drop the little scrubber into your soap and water filled decanter or bottle, and then using the magnetized knob, you hook up to it from the outside, and get to scrub away to your hearts content. This little gadget is almost like having a tiny hand inside your normally inaccessible containers, getting them sparkly clean, with no contortions, or dishcloths wrapped around knives. (yes, I’ve done that)

The nubby silicone scrubbers is strong enough for a nice scrubbing, but soft enough that it will not scratch glass and, when finished the Magnetic Spot Scrubber easily rinses clean, just don’t put it in the dishwasher. Get one now at bedbathandbeyond.com for just under 12 bucks.

Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day. It can help you wake up and face your daily tasks bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Although, what normally ends up happening is that we’ll grab coffee on the way into work, and forget about anything else until lunch. If you do actually have time to make breakfast, it normally comes out with something along the lines of toast and eggs.

If you enjoy toast, but hate that you can only buy a toaster that has two slots when you only eat one, there is a minimalist toaster out there for you. The Plus Minus Zero 1-Slice Toaster is pretty straightforward in what it does, but is perfect for those who don’t like having an asymmetrical way to make breakfast. This compact toaster is very sleek and simple, as it has an unobtrusive logo on the side, a dial in the front to choose how toasted you would like your bread, and the lever to push it down.

This is available in white, red, or brown, and will cost around $78. While this is a neat idea, you would think that it would be much cheaper. It’s easy enough to go to a grocery store and get a 2-slot version for around $10-15. This very likely is sold to the niche market that doesn’t want more than one piece of toast in the mornings, and has money to toss out the window.

Available for purchase on the JapanTrendShop

We all love our coffee. When we don’t get it, we can be a bit on the grumpy side of things. While there are those who don’t mind using any old coffee pot, others like to find new and inventive ways to brew their lifeblood. It can be brewed cold, hot, on the stove, over a fire, and however it is made, there always seems to be just the slightest variance in taste.

Should you also be acquainted with canning food, then you likely have a few Mason jars lying around. If you wished you had a use for them year round besides cold drinks and storing food, then you’re going to love the Pour Mason. This is a Mason jar attachment that will allow you to brew coffee directly into a jar. It’s made of aluminum alloy, and can make single servings of your favorite coffee.

Unscrewing this lid will not be very fun after you’re finished making your beverage, as the metal is going to be pretty hot for a while. You will want to make sure to get a coffee ‘sock’ to make sure the grounds don’t find their way into your drink.  Actually, you will also want to make sure you have a Mason jar available, as well as coffee, as none of those items are included in the $35 price. Keeping that in mind, this is a pretty expensive way to make coffee. Unless you’re just a collector who wants every method of brewing coffee at your fingertips, it would likely be far wiser to get a regular coffee pot or French press.

There are times in life when you get particularly hungry, and as your stomach growls, you do your very best to look out for a snack – or two. Apart from that, watching a movie at home is no fun at all if you do not have some popcorn to go along with said movie. However, you aren’t at the cinema, so it is not that simple as walking down to the concession aisle and picking up a tub of popcorn. Good thing there are inventions like the £19.99 Heat N Eat Popcorn Maker, which allows you to enjoy bucket-loads of warm, crunchy popcorn without having to leave the comfort of your own home.

Not only that, there isn’t much to worry about when it comes to washing up, since the Heat N Eat Popcorn Maker is easily cleaned using a dishwasher. At least you know what you’re putting into your own popcorn!

Don’t you love the many personalities that humans have? Some are quiet, others are boisterous. Some do not mind what you serve them on the dining table, while others are adamant that their food must arrive piping hot, regardless of the situation.
