Here’s the trade-off: if you want a slim toaster that doesn’t gobble up too much counter space, you’re going to be limited to how much toast you can make. But the Easy Toaster from Russel Hobbs incorporates a nice workaround. You can only toast two slices of bread at one time, but a pair of pockets on the outside steal heat from the toaster’s elements to keep your breakfast warm while more slices toast.

Your parents probably weren’t too keen when you were cramming food in your mouth at the dinner table like a feral child. But you’re all grown up now; you can eat however you want. And if that includes the use of a spoon that looks like the heavy-duty scoop you’ll find on a construction site backhoe, so be it.

The iKettle might have a terribly cliched name, but it makes up for that unoriginality with loads of novel functionality that might just be enough to justify its $160 price tag. Maybe. After all, how many kettles do you know that politely ask if you’d like a piping hot cup of tea when you get home at night?

It’s been a brutal day at work, you have no energy to cook, and you just want your dinner to take care of itself. With this meat-sensing indoor grill at your disposal, it kind of will.

Despite being one of the most frustrating games ever made, Operation was also one of my favorite board games as a child. Perhaps it was because it helped introduce me to the world of medical science, or simply the possibility that the game could give you a mild shock. Either way, it’s always been a lots of fun.
The next time you’re cooking, you can reminisce about the many times you caused your patient’s nose to light up and buzz thanks to the Operation apron!
While its plump, nekkid mid-section isn’t exactly the most flattering look, the Operation apron offers up all of the important parts of your real fake anatomy, from your wish bone to your funny bone to your bread basket and those pesky butterflies in your stomach. Though I make no claims that studying this will help you pass your MCATs.
It’s available from Perpetual Kid (though currently sold out) for $19.99(USD), though if you live in the UK, you can grab one over at I Want One of Those for £14.99.
It doesn’t matter what you’re buying, everyone wants to get as much bang for their buck as possible. And what looks like a set of three pieces of plastic cookware actually turns into six with nothing more than a gentle squeeze. It’s like having the Transformers in your kitchen, minus the epic Michael Bay level of destruction.

No longer do those wanting to eat healthy at breakfast have to live in fear of the backlash from the grapefruit they’re digging into. This Citrus Sectioner replaces your spoon with a purpose-built contraption that safely and easily removes a wedge from your favorite morning fruit—minus any geysers of blinding juice.

A wide-tipped serrated knife does wonders on everything, from bread to brisket to butter. This utility blade could be the only kitchen knife you’ll ever need.

Unless you’re some sort for Ginsu master, capable of slicing, dicing, and jullienning an entire meal together with a single blade, food prep is a whole lot easier when you use the right knife. Here are the five most essential, versatile cutting implements in a cook’s arsenal.

The allure of a shiny new gadget is easy to overcome when it costs hundreds of dollars and comes with a multi-year contract. But cheaper contraptions, like the stuff you’ll find in a kitchen store, are almost impossible to resist. Does anyone really need a salad spinner with a turbo button that promises 50 percent faster rotation speeds? No. But anything with a turbo option is just too tempting. Whether it’s cars, computers, or EMSA’s new Turboline salad spinner.
