Personal Smoothies While You Cook
We love the personal blender. More importantly - we love the smoothies these make. And MOST IMPORTANTLY - we love making a smoothie while we cook a big meal or make deserts in the kitchen to help stem the craving to snack while we eat on unhealthy foods.
"I got a little geekily excited when I thought this blender was USB powered for some reason. It's actually better that it's not because even though the Personal Blender is tiny, its motor is 200 watts, about the same as many full-sized home blenders. The blender cup can be used as a single serving size cup so you can blend a fruit smoothie and just detach the cup and go. The motor and blades can cut through solidly frozen fruit and ice. I'm slightly skeptical about the ice because I've found that the only blenders that really can mash ice into a smooth pulp are the restaurant models. My 900 watt Waring Pro is the only inanimate thing I'd save from my house in a fire."

Vibrating Soap for your Kitchen Pleasure
I can safely say that after a bit of mincing - a nice piece of vibrating soap would make the hands feel quite nice. Even though it "says" its for the bathroom - we must think outside the box to brign the pleasures of the rest of the house into the kitchen.
"This absurd, but nevertheless interesting, piece of bathroom paraphernalia is a marvel of ingenuity. Quite simply it's a bar of soap that vibrates (quite vigorously apparently) when lifted from its soap dish. Buried deep inside the blueberry scented soap is a little motor that whirrs away, turning a seemingly innocent bar of soap into a unique bath toy. When you've finished with this 'auto-wash' soap, simply pop it back on its dish and it'll stop jigging about all over the place."

Trust me. My current kitchen is under construction but I do know the first thing that will go up. This spice rack. I have the 5 spice version ... but none the less - this rack rules. It's easy to use. The magnets work. It looks great. You can actually tell what's in the spice jar.

"Sheer" Kitchen
It truly is a thing of beauty. However - I think you're going to need a 2.5 million dollar loft to install it into.
"Most kitchens are literally built around the user with counter tops, appliances and sink surrounding the user. Sheer invites you and yours to surround it. You prepare and cook as you go around the lower half of the sphere (the upper half is a ventilated hood). The lower half includes a sink, plate rack, cutlery storage, ceramic glass cooktop, refridgerated bottle baskets and a pull-out table. It's made mostly of stainless steel or carbonium fibre and the hood is semitransparent metacrylic. Via La Coctelera Artilugios, via Architecural Record."

Kitchen Contraptions.com on Caerdroia
"Not knowing anything about the product ( I know the company from SQLGrinder), and not seeing a complete list of features at their website, I decided to look around for information, and found Kitchen Contraptions, a blog about kitchen gadgets. Some recent posts?"

Kitchen Contraptions.com mentioned on UrbanSpy
We do really feel that we have our fingers on the pulse of cool kitchen stuff - and hey - so does urban spy!
"It seems like the topic-specific blogs are really taking off this season. We've seen blogs from shoewawa for women's shoes to kitchen contraptions for anything and everything cooking. Now let me introduce a new one I've been keeping an eye on to evaluate. It’s called preshrunk and is quickly becoming the definitive t-shirt blog. Nice work."

Beyond Breakmaker @ Gadetry Blog
The folks at Gadgetry Blog are quite the wordsmiths and also - they find really good stuff. I'm always impressed with the length of the write up and the quality of the find. Beyond Bread Maker is no exception - nice stuff!
"There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread, except perhaps petrol and glue, but mastering the art of producing an edible loaf takes time and patience. It's therefore with great relief that I stumbled across the Beyond Bread Maker ($149), a high-tech breadmaker that takes the guesswork out of baking."
