Watch high-powered flashlights cook a turkey

Need to flash fry your leftovers in style? Invest in a couple thousand lumens.

(Credit:Kate Ter Haar)

The art of roasting a bird with a flashlight requires much more than the typical yellow shiner found at your parent's house; in fact, you need something more than a hundred times more powerful.

While we don't know exactly how many exact lumens -- a standard of measurement used for lighting (where 1 lumen usually equals the power of one candle) -- you need accomplish the zany task, we do know through an informative YouTube video that cooking a turkey with a flashlight is possible.

Kipkay -- perhaps best described as the McGyver of the Internet -- puts six Wicked Laser Torch flashlights (with an astonishing power of 4,100 lumens each) in a circle around a turkey, and after several hours a large portion of the bird appears golden brown with a perfect internal temperature of 177 Fahrenheit.

Just one of these blinding Torch flashlights costs $199, and only lasts about 5-10 minutes before needing a recharge. In Kipkay's video, we didn't spot any external power sources connected to the flashlights, but on the other hand we don't question the raw power of such a bright light after seeing this other video.

Williams-Sonoma cranks up the volume with tablet accessories

Cook to the beat of your own drum.

Cook to the beat of your own drum.

It's that time of year again when things are about to get real busy in the kitchen. The holidays usher in an endless stream of grocery bags being hauled into the kitchen, most filled with recognizable favorites of food-to-be. Tradition may dictate turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy to be on the table come dinnertime, but that doesn't mean a soon-to-be classic can't get thrown in the mix.

Watching a cooking video and following along with the steps is a natural use fortablets and mobile devices. The Williams-Sonoma Smart Tools Bluetooth Speaker ($149.95) offers an easy way to keep up while learning some new moves. Part of a set that also consists of a stand and splash screen (everything is also sold separately), the remote speaker can be moved about the kitchen or placed securely underneath the matching stand.

Measuring 2 inches tall with a diameter of 4.75 inches, the 12.5-ounce speaker is designed for the kitchen, but could be used anywhere. It comes with a line-in port for listening to music as well as two USB ports for charging devices. For those times that a cooking video doesn't do the trick, the integrated microphone lets home chefs cook and talk at the same time. It may come in handy for calling home for tips, cooking along with your favorite chef, or just listening to music, but one thing for certain is whether it's old classics or new favorites, they'll never be far away.

Spock oven mitt: For food hot out of the replicator

Spock oven mitt in action

Mmm, space cookies.

(Credit:ThinkGeek)

Food generally isn't too big of a deal in the "Star Trek" universe unless you're talking about tribbles eating all the quadrotriticale or Picard ordering up a hot cup of tea to go with his space scones.

All those Enterprise crew members still have to eat and that means there's going to be some hot food coming out of the replicators. That also means you're going to need a space-worthy oven mitt. A Spock oven mitt. The $14.99 oversize Spock hand has just enough blue uniform on the cuff to designate its rank.

The Spock oven mitt is made from cotton on the outside and polyester on the inside. It may or may not be able to deliver a Vulcan neck pinch to your sous chef.

This item is likely to make its way into holiday gift boxes for "Star Trek" fans everywhere, but it would probably be best to leave it out of the stocking for your favorite Klingon. It seems Klingons tend to prefer their food raw and still squirming.

If you really want to go all in, I'd recommend accessorizing your Spock oven mitt with some tribble slippers (tribbles love Vulcans) while baking a Borg cube cake.

Use this for your tea, Earl Grey, hot.

Kettle corn on the kitchen countertop

Every day can be a day filled with freshly popped kettle corn.

Every day can be a day filled with freshly-popped kettle corn.

(Credit:Nostalgia Electrics)

You know the aroma. It beckons as if it were a magical cartoon hand, wafting through the air until it finds its destination: you. There is no choice but to follow the waggling smoke fingers until you find its source: popcorn. But there is something different about this enticing scent. Tinged around the edges is the distinct sense of sugar and salt. And furthermore, this is not an outdoor event; this is your own kitchen.

Bringing kettle corn to the inside, the Nostalgia Electrics KCP100 Carnival Kettle Corn Maker ($49.99) mirrors the magic of the popular treat without the need to navigate the fairway. The countertop appliance features recognizable styling with a kettle capable of producing 10 cups of popcorn per batch. Add oil, kernels, salt, and sugar, and after the "unique dual stirring mechanism" does its duty, pour the finished product into the waiting storage drawer below.

There is no need to stand in line, tortured by the alluring aroma when the popcorn maker is safely available at a moment's notice on top of the kitchen counter. Automatic operation ensures that sweet sugar-coated popcorn is only a button press away. It may not be possible to be caught off guard by the surprising scent (after all, you do know what you are getting into), but with a window that lets you watch the popcorn popping, you can still manage to get mesmerized by the effect.

No green thumb needed for Click and Grow plants

Just add water. And batteries.

Just add water. And batteries.

(Credit:Click and Grow)

The ability to reach out and pluck fruits and vegetables off of a nearby branch, for many, is an unrealistic dream. Yet fresh food that is grown nearby continues to be a desirable commodity. As well it should; food that is fresh is far superior to that which has been hanging around during transport or otherwise. As delicious as freshly picked food may be, the hurdle of actually growing it is not one to be ignored. Unless of course, the whole process is automated.

Two new self-monitoring plant kits have been added to the Click and Grow kitchen countertop grove. In addition to popular herbs and flowers (be sure to check out our previous coverage) the system now has available "plant cartridges" for peppers and mini tomatoes. But what could it be that a "plant cartridge" does? As it turns out, everything.

The Click and Grow Chili Pepper and Mini Tomato starter kits (preorder price of $39.99 each) require no gardening knowledge whatsoever. (However, batteries are required.) The aforementioned cartridges contain seeds, nutrients, and "special software" that all work together to create do-it-yourself gardening with no need to do anything. Even the watering is taken care of automatically as the base doubles as a water reservoir. If the smartpot does happen to ever need additional water, a blue indicator light will go on taking the guesswork completely out of the equation, making it so about the only decision one might have to make would be how to eat the fruits of their "labor."

Deliver chopped garlic with a twist

Just reach in the fridge and grab a fresh twist of garlic.

Just reach in the fridge and grab a fresh twist of garlic.

(Credit:Sur La Table)

Perhaps more so than any other single fruit, vegetable, or herb, garlic gets its own dedicated gadgets. It should probably not come as much of a surprise that garlic has demanded so much attention. After all, the pungent little cloves do tend to stand out amongst everything that they come in contact with. Yet, we cannot seem to stay away from the species Allium sativum even if we try. However, we can avoid touching it.

Prepping garlic is one of those kitchen tasks that is easy to do yet can be time-consuming. The Chef'n Garlic Machine Garlic Press ($10.95) looks to give users easy access to our flavorful friend at a moment's notice. Consisting of a storage chute (it is designed to keep peeled garlic in the refrigerator) and a mincing mechanism, the upgraded entry into the collection of garlic gadgetry keeps garlic at the ready without the need to fuss around with the individual cloves.

Someday the perfect garlic gadget will be invented that will grow, peel, store, and prep the little morsels. (While we're at it, perhaps we could have a pizza-making machine too. Oh wait, that already happened.) Until that time, garlic fans will just have to settle for almost-automatic operation as the prep travels from bulb to plate. This garlic gadget features a redesigned handle for easier usability, proving that as long as there is a need for chopped garlic, the procession of tools will march on -- whether they be hands-on or not.

Fat-blocking Pepsi a slimming soda in Japan

Pepsi Special

It's a different kind of diet soda.

(Credit:Suntory)

It sounds like a dieter's dream. Drink soda and lose weight. It's junk food with a healthy sheen and it's a real Pepsi product coming out in Japan.

Pepsi Special is special because of an added ingredient: dextrin, the same stuff found in Benefiber. It's a water-soluble fiber supplement that may also have some extracurricular effects with feelings of fullness and a reduction in fat absorption.

According to a study published in Appetite in 2011, soluble fiber dextrin increased participants' sense of satiety and decreased the amount of energy absorbed from the next meal. How that finding translates to a dextrin-charged soda is up for discussion.

Pepsi Special will get a nationwide release in Japan on November 13, and it's unlikely to be a big hit with the Sumo community. The advertising materials promise it will have a crisp and refreshing Pepsi flavor that hides the fibery aspects of the drink. There is no mention yet of how many calories it contains. A bottle will sell for just under $2.

Government-approved fat-blocking sodas are a recent development in Japan. Another dextrin soda called Kirin Mets Cola came out earlier this year after receiving clearance from the Japan Health Food & Nutrition Food Association. Pepsi Special has attained the same official "Foods for Specified Health Uses" designation. I guess that means soda pop can qualify as a health food.

Japan's reputation as country of thin people makes it a curious choice for an anti-fat-absorption drink, but perhaps it's just a test run before reaching out to the soda-slurping American market. Of course, we can't help but wonder: what would Michael Bloomberg say?
