This kitchen scale combines a dishwasher safe mixing bowl with style and design. We love the clear glass bowl that inverts for neat, dust-free storage. Max Weight: 5-lbs/2.2-kg and sensitivity: 1-oz./25-gr. There's even a rotating dial for quick reset to zero.

Senseo Supreme Single Serve Coffee Machine in Metallic Chrome
Looks like Senseo has a new single serve coffee maker coming out on October 1st - the new Senseo Supreme Single Serve Coffee Machine in Metallic Chrome. Besides the obvious exterior change of chrome plating, the Senseo Supreme features adjustable cup size for 3oz., 4 oz., 5 oz. cup and 6oz., 8 oz., 10 oz. mugs of coffee. We've been waiting for this feature for quite awhile, as we've enjoyed it on our Bunn My Cafe for over a year.
The package also includes a bonus 68 gourmet coffee pods, plus coupons for 10 free cappuccino pods and 20 free tea pods. There is even a Free tea-pod holder included. It still looks like you will still have some trouble getting a travel mug under the Senseo spout, but the adjustable spout allows for use of your favorite coffee cup, from small cup to a mug. And fjaybrewernet4-20inally, the best feature - a "33% Larger Water Reservoir (32 oz.) - dishwasher Safe. Woot!

Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker
Just because it is getting cold, doesn't mean we can't still eat ice cream. With this soft serve ice cream maker from Cuisinart, you can make ice cream, yogurt, and sorbet at home. It also has three built-in condiment dispensers, so you can add sprinkles or other mix-ins. It supposedly makes 1-1/2 quarts of frozen dessert in a little as 2 minutes.

Trivection Oven
I thought Alec Baldwin was joking when he said he invented the Trivection oven on the premiere of the new sitcom, 30 Rock. Turns out it was just a big product placement. The Trivection oven combines thermal, convection, and microwave energies, which according to GE cooks things five times faster than a traditional oven. It also has auto recipe conversion and controls to help guide you through the cooking experience. It comes in a wall mounted model and a slide in model.

Titanium Spork
It is about time the spork got an upgrade. How about a titanium spork?
Titanium is known for its great strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight, which makes this spork a valuable asset around feeding time. Imagine how much more food you could shovel in at your local buffet if you didn't have to worry about the strain of picking up a heavy fork or spoon. Your food consumption can become the stuff of legends.
