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.
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!

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.

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.

It is about time the spork got an upgrade. How about a titanium spork?

I can't imagine eating off these plates, but they are made to be used. Made from melamine plastic, there are four different designs. They are dishwasher safe, but not microwavable.
I had never heard of an aebleskiver, but it sounds delicious. It is a Danish dessert, kind of like a donut hole, but filled with stuff.

The holes are 2 1/4" in diameter and 1" deep.
