The Spoutnik from Fagor might be one of the cooler microwaves we've ever seen. What is Spoutnik? How about we have Spoutnik tell us.
"I am an exciting new freestanding microwave with an innovative domed design and illuminated turntable. Very versatile for my size, my unique spherical shape and spacious interior can accommodate a wide range of dishes and unlike traditional microwaves; you always have a 360º view of what I am cooking. My translucent lid has a smooth opening system so my internal cooking area is completely accessible, making me much easier to clean. Easy to use, I have four cooking options with an adjustable timer."
Makes sense to us, and we would welcome one of these little round wonders into our kitchen any day.

Why isn't there just more color in the kitchen and especially small appliances. Electrolux is putting color back into the kitchen with the Go Colour! line of small appliances. We think these are a welcome addition over black, stainless steel, and the white appliances we live with today.

Caramel apples will soon make their October debut for Halloween, but we also know we enjoy a good caramel apple at the fair. If you're looking for a somewhat healthy activity to do with a bunch of kids then making caramel apples might also be a great way to pass those last days of Summer.
Features include:
- The device's stainless steel melting pot is heated by an electric heating element instead of a stove
- A warming setting keeps heated caramel silky smooth under a transparent lid between dunkings
- The included divided tray rotates around the unit, so you can dip apples into chopped nuts, sprinkles, or candy without reaching across the pot or tangling its cord.
- The pot holds 14 ounces of caramel and has a cool-to-the-touch handle for easy removal.
- The appliance also melts chocolate for fondue.
- Washes easily by hand.

It's hot even here in the Boston area, and we think the pim10bls portable ice maker which features an easy-to-use touch pad with illuminated indicators, and will make 26-1/2-pound of ice every 24-hours could help take the heat out of Summer. It at least can help to cool some yummy drinks, and this portable ice maker doesn't need plumbing, installation or a drain because it's completely portable. That means it can be used in many locations such as boats, cottages and basements. Yes - cool basements. Let's hope it doesn't make too much heat while it makes the ice.

Oyster has pulled out all the stop with this blender which allows you to blend your favorite smoothie or shake right in the sport bottle. The dishwasher-safe 20-ounce BPA-free plastic sport bottle will hold your morning helping of fruit, and the powerful 250-watt motor with One Touch blending will always get the job done. It even has a resettable fuse that will revive the motor in 15 minutes should it overheat.

This classic-looking Slushie Maker will let you churn out fruity slushies, iced coffees, or chilled cocktails to your heart’s content. All you need to do is...

This 1500-watt/110-volts stainless-steel cordless electric kettle with 1-2/3-liter capacity and concealed heating element looks amazing, and has 6 preset heat settings for steeping tea at just the right temperature. The kettle has blue LED indicator lights, and a 30-minute keep warm function. The 360-degree swivel power base for cordless convenience also keeps you from having to reach around a hot kettle, and the kettle also features boil-dry protection with auto safety shutoff.
One of our co-workers has this kettle and uses it daily. The kettle looks just like new with over 1 year of use. Amazing.

We promise this will be our last iced tea maker for the foreseeable future, but we really liked the look and features of this iced tea maker as well. The West Bend Iced-tea maker with timed brewing and steeping settings has a reusable stainless-steel filter that works with both bagged and loose tea. It also features a brew-strength selector, removable sweetener chamber, and has a 2-3/4-quart plastic pitcher. The Auto shut-off will help make you not worry you left the iced tea maker on, and the drip tray for quick cleanup makes wanting to use it over and over an easy decision.

We thought we'd feature another iced tea maker as an alternative to yesterday's tea maker. This 2-1/2-quart iced-tea maker works with loose or bagged tea and has a really nice design. The water window in reservoir, and adjustable brew strength along with a permanent filter make this a tough iced tea offering to beat. There's a simple on/off button with power indicator light, and the iced teat maker has an auto shut-off for safety. The pitcher is also dishwasher safe.

All we really know is that it's February here at Kitchen Contraptions, and yes it's cold here in the Northeast, but we drink iced tea all year round. We also know for many people in the US and abroad it's summer or spring all year long - perfect for iced tea.
This slim, 2-quart pitcher fits in refrigerator door, and there's an adjustable brew-strength selector to get the iced tea in your flavor range. This iced tea maker will also make fresh-brewed iced tea from leaves or bags in under 10-minutes.
