Do you hear that? That cheering off in the distance? That’s the sound of a million amateur chefs celebrating the fact that they no longer have to spend several minutes dicing hot dogs for their casseroles, easy meatloaf, or awful jello moulds. Because the Dog Dicer can turn a hot dog into a pile of diced processed ‘meat’ in less than a second. More »
If you’ve never spilled an ice cube tray full of water or accidentally dumped a dozen cubes on the floor, I hope you have the medal you deserve. For the rest of us, a clever, covered ice cube tray like this could be a cool solution. More »
Here’s a fun little cooking trick for you to try: scramble eggs inside its shell so that you can make scrambled hard boiled eggs. Meaning the entire egg will be perfectly golden all around. Delicious! More »
If you’re still using an automatic coffee-maker, you’re doing it wrong. We test five different manual coffee-brewing systems.
Cutting implements have been around since the Stone Age, but this is the first knife that I’ve seen that seeks to replicate the experience of using a flint tool. The simple design allows for multiple uses in the kitchen.
Created by Italian designer Michele Daneluzzo, the Del Ben Primitive Knife has got no obvious handle. Its entire leading edge is a blade. You can use it to delicately slice off the skin of fish or to hack and slash meat as well as veggies.
The top edge thickens into a rounded edge, making the knife easy to grasp, though one does have to wonder if the knife is more likely to slip out of your hand than one with a traditional handle.
The Primitive was designed by Michele while he was a student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, but it’s being turned into a real product by Del Ben.

While crude by today’s standards, the stone tools used by our ancestors were obviously more than adequate for their survival. After all, were they not, Italian designer Michele Daneluzzo wouldn’t be around today to craft this beautiful homage to the flint cutting tools of the Stone Age. More »
You don’t usually see kitchen gadget makers falling back on blatant sexuality to sell their products. But after watching this oddly seductive promotional video Savora created for its recently released garlic press, maybe more companies hawking kitchenware should consider this approach. For some reason, I just ordered 10 of these. More »
You can create all kinds of stuff with LEGO bricks. Then there are all of the things that you can create that look like LEGO bricks, but aren’t. Here is a clever creation for that LEGO-themed kitchen you have been dreaming of.
Spice racks are hit and miss. It seems like they are either really nicely designed, or very ugly. This spice rack is most definitely geeky. Therefore it is awesome in my book. It was made by Matthew Ebisu, who wanted to spice up his kitchen with LEGO. Very clever indeed, Matthew.
The body and the studs of this spice rack are made of chipboard and cardboard. And if you want to make one yourself, you can download the design template here. I wonder if you could make one out of actual LEGO bricks.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack? Yeah right. Do you think I’m made of money? Catching nine innings at a major league ballpark is expensive enough. So skip the overpriced snacks and just make your own caramel corn ahead of time using this amusing Batter Up! bat-shaped spatula. More »
