Hasta La Gadget!

Last year we saw a fabric oven mitt that looked just like Nintendo’s infamous Power Glove. Pete Hottelet is raising funds on Indiegogo for a very similar product. Also named the Power Mitt, Pete’s take is made of silicone rubber and thus should be more heat-resistant than the other mitt.

As you can see, Pete’s glove also has separate sheaths for each finger making it look more like the original Power Glove.

For now, Pete is only offering right-handed gloves for average-sized hands. He said that if he gets over 1,000 orders through the fundraiser he’ll get a mold for a larger glove, and if he gets over 1,500 orders he’ll make a left-handed glove.

To the privileged right-handed people with perfectly sized hands: let’s help our mutated brethren adorn their weird limbs with a power glove. Pledge at least $39 (USD) on Indiegogo to get a Power Mitt as a reward and combat handedness prejudice.

When you’re boiling water or steaming vegetables, the water vapor usually stays inside the pot. But if you’re looking for a vented pot lid to let off some steam, literally, then this is the one you must seek out.

This microwave-safe silicone pot lid has a tiny steamship sitting atop it, which funnels your steam out of its exhaust stacks. It’s even cruising through a bright blue ocean as it sits atop your piping hot pot or steamer.

The Steam Ship is coming soon from our friends at Fred & Friends, and will be available from Perpetual Kid for $13.49(USD).

And this clever serving tray from Finell helps eliminate spills using a series of stretchy silicone bands that help to hold everything secure when it’s in motion.

Cutting boards are built to be brutalized, but just because they’re definitely going to get busted doesn’t mean they have to be boring. In fact, the flip side of these op-art Shape Boards are cool enough to double as wall art.
