Bake with Steam
Steam cooking? Baking with steam? I must have it. I must!
"Steam oven for baking. From Sharp, an oven that uses very hot steam to cook and that can also dramatically reduce fat and salt in food. 300-degree Celsius steam is sprayed onto the meat which literally draws out the fat, unlike frying pans where the fat remains to cook the food. Sharp claims that by reducing oxidation the oven also helps conserve vitamin C."

Why So Cold, My Proud Beauty?
I agree. The new star of the kitchen is the fridge. You need a good one. And you use it more than any other appliance in the kitchen.
"REGINA SMITH noticed an unusual refrigerator in a friend's kitchen in Short Hills, N.J. Seven feet tall without a freezer — a sister unit takes care of that — it is three feet wide, and Ms. Smith couldn't help wondering why her friend had bought something so, well, supersized. "And then I realized," she recalled, "of course the pizza box had to fit."

Dunk Mug
You need this. Trust me.
"Dominic Skinners Dunk Mug; an amusing alternative to the mundane coffee mug we see everyday; This one has got a very smart bult in compartment for some sweet little cookie treats. Loveable Design, available in right & left handed versions in a few different colors. They look like they’re alllll sold out for Christmas delivery, but they can guarantee January delivery if you order now from Mocha Home!"

Chalkboard Paint for Kitchens
Screw the family room! Can you imagine having a sizable chalkboard painted section in your kitchen for shopping lists, ingredients, drawings, etc.? I can.
"New thang. We see so many cool things that people do in their homes and would rather highlight them than stuff online or magazines, that we are starting a new post: Look!. Sort of like Hello! or People, except less cheesy, we'll highlight good ideas in action."

In-sink Dishwasher?
Okay - we know this will help in the kitchen - but we've never even thought something like this could exist....wild!!!
"This product from US-based Kitchenaid caught my eye as it will really appeal to anyone living in a poky city apartment. Ideal for those low on kitchen space, the Briva in-sink dishwasher ($1799) is a stainless steel sink that also has a built-in dishwasher. The first of its kind, this innovative appliance also promises wash cycles that finish in less than half the time of traditional dishwashers.

New Keurig B50 Single Serve Coffee Maker Review
The folks at Single Serve Coffee.com have just posted an extensive review on the new Keurig B50. Check it out.
"We were very excited to see that on December 1st (and from a fury of emails) that the folks at Keurig had introduced a new Single Cup/Serve Coffee maker in the form of the B50. We reviewed the Keurig B100 earlier in the year and we weren't that impressed for the money - at $249.95 the B100 was a little too expensive for most people looking at the Single Serve Coffee arena and was much better suited for Home Office use."

The Zach and Dani's Home Coffee Roaster Review from MacGourmet.com
"You might have caught this next gadget on a late night infomercial. That's where I first saw it. I'm actually WAY more skeptical than most people are when it comes to these things. To me, if something sounds too good to be true, it ALWAYS is. The infomercial promised easy, freshly roasted coffee at home with no smoke and no mess. Coffee roasting for the average 'joe' (pun intended). So what's the deal with this kitchen gadget? Are the promises true? Read on grasshopper and all the facts will be be revealed."

The Ultimate Kitchen Radio
I'm pretty sure that if you have a kitchen (I think you do?), you'll need this radio from Tivoli. It's making the gadget site rounds, but it's probably the coolest little box ever because of the integration of a Satellite Receiver for the Sirius network.
"I'm not sure when 1970s faux wood grain became cool again, but it looks to be making a comeback (especially on today's Gizmodo, for some reason). Fortunately, the good folks at Tivoli Audio have the good sense to use real wood in their products—Maple, Walnut, and Cherry are all common, and far more attractive than, say, a sticker that looks almost entirely unlike wood. "

VÄRDE Free Standing Kitchen from IKEA
After first seeing these on Apartment Therapy, I have to admit the idea of having a free standing kitchen sounds amazing. Put in the plumbing - the sink stuff - but let the other stuff in the kitchen be flexible and on wheels. I'm in love.
"VÄRDE is one smart kitchen.Since it consists entirely of freestanding units and shelves, you can add, arrange and change it to fit your personal needs. The solid birch, stainless steel and white accents give a stylish, warm look."
