Cornucopia - 3D Food Printer of the Future

There's always someone dreaming of the future, and this time they've done an amazing job with a 3D food printer. Marcelo Coelho and Amit Zorhan, the members of MIT’s Fluid Interfaces group have developed a futuristic cooking concept, Cornucopia. The Cornucopia countertop food fabricator with an intuitive interface doesn’t ask you to print a menu instead it prints the food. This inventive cooktop promises to print out the food right in front of you. It’s a concept for now but once it’s out for the production, it’s gonna be important part of our hi-tech modern houses.

Anvil America 8-Chicken Electric Rotisserie Oven - Feed a Family of 16 to 20

I got up this morning dreaming rotisserie chicken, and then thinking whether or not I could buy one that made more than 1 chicken for the kitchen. Well - it looks like the smallest you can get if you go above the 1-2 chicken size is 8 chickens. This roaster cooks eight three pound chickens in two hours at 350 degrees farhanheit. It has a removable full size base drip tray for easy cleaning, and glass in the front and rear for excellent point of sale - not a big selling point for our kitchen, but I get it. We're thinking this is overkill, but you never know - if you have a family of maybe 16-20 this might not be overkill.

Lobster Taser - Time to Taser the Lobsters

The lobster taser which looks like a giant lobster panini press or photocopier stuns lobsters with 110 volts that delivers a shock immediately and effectively disabling said lobster's nervous system. You can then proceed with the boiling, baking, and or grilling. We remain committed to taking out any food we eat humanely, so we look forward to more lobster tasers in the future - maybe even a home model.

Fisher & Paykel Izona CookSurface - LED Cooking Done Right

Okay - so maybe you aren't cooking with LED, but you are dialing up the heat with a 12-position LED heat indicator embedded within the cook surface. Each burner (and yes there are only 3) has Aero technology so they heat perfectly with every little turn of the dial. What we really like is the look, and are putting this on our list of cooktops for when the kids finally leave the nest.

Dacor Epicure 30 inch Gas Range - Cooking Elegance

Large appliances. They're so large, and making the right choice can be a tough one. You want to pick something that fits your cooking needs, but also one that looks perfect in your kitchen. We just came up on this range from Dacor. It's both functionally excellent, and looks fashionable as well. We really like the Illumina burner - it glows in brilliant blue to indicate temperature.

The new Epicure Range fits perfectly into any shabby chic cottage, upscale urban condominium or ornate Victorian kitchen, offering consumers who demand impeccable design and premium performance all the benefits of a professional kitchen appliance without the investment required with a dual-fuel model.

Key Features include:

• Dacor's signature Illumina Burner Controls glow in a brilliant blue to indicate when the burners are on for a safer cooking experience.
• SimmerSear Burners provide complete control over the cooking process for the perfect simmer, sauté or sear.
• 14” Continuous Platform Grates easily accommodate oversized cookware and the sealed spill basin makes clean-up a breeze.
• Three-Part Convection System features a fan, which prevents flavor transfer so the bacon-wrapped scallops and macaroni & cheese can heat at the same time.

The Totem Fridge - Stackable Food Storage

This stackable design for a fridge is by creator Stefan Buchberger, a design student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. The idea came out of living in a small dorm room, and the thought of being able to go vertical like a skyscraper in a crowded city appealed to Stefan.

"I decided to create Flatshare fridge because there is nothing more disgusting than a dirty fridge in a shared flat," he says. "At the time, I was living in such a flat!"

The fridge consists of a base station, and up to four stackable modules that allow each individual user to have his or her own refrigerator space. Each can be customized with various colorful skins as well as with add-ons like a bottle opener or a whiteboard. We think just having meat, vegetables, snacks, and beer all separated out in a college fridge sounds like pure genius.

Range Kitchen Concept - Wok Not Included

This is the winner of the Whirlpool kitchen range concept contest, and it's quite the looker. It's both a cooktop, and also a wok top, plus it fits in tight places. We're not sure about the rather odd looking wood panels, but do those same panels in matte black or fiery red, and you may have a total winner.

Electrolux Inspiro - Intelligent Auto-Focus Cooking Oven

Electrolux is launching a revolutionary new oven called Inspiro, the first oven that automatically selects the right heating mode based on the contents of the oven. Rather than just measuring the air temperature with a thermometer and regulating it with a thermostat, the way a conventional oven operates, Inspiro uses sensors to calculate the precise combination of energy consumption and time needed to bring the food to the correct temperature. This is similar to the way cameras now automatically set aperture, exposure time and focus, depending on the light and what's in the frame.

How does it work? To cook a lamb joint, for example, select the category "roasting" via the touch control, then choose whether the joint should be rare, medium or well done. The oven indicates which level to put the tray on - in a cold oven. From that cold start, Inspiro calculates the energy consumption and time needed to raise the temperature of the meat to the desired level. That information is then combined with its database of professional cooking techniques to calculate what combination of heating modes is required (top, bottom, side, hot air, or grill) to ensure the desired result.

AquaMaker AM10 Makes Water from Moist Air

Need to use the moisture in the air for a little water? This water cooler will suck the air dry pulling 36 liters of water from the surrounding air within 38 hours. However it's not that eco or wallet friendly. There is a $1200 price tag and it costs nearly $15 per day to operate. Oh well - maybe we can stick with our filtered water from the fridge for now.

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.

Motorized Refrigerator Shelves

Thermador has added a motorized shelf to their refrigerators. The shelf can be lowered or raised at the touch of a button even when there is stuff on it. Sounds easier than the crank we have in our fridge to raise and lower the shelves.
