Kitchen scale plays video for no-worry tablet cooking

It's okay to pile ingredients on top of this video playing device.

The rise of thetablet device as a quick go-to kitchen helper has come as no surprise. Having information available at the fingertips is a good way to improve kitchen skills. The only problem with said fingertips is that often they end up coated in whatever happens to travel from the pantry and the refrigerator to the countertop. Baking can be messy business, but despite the danger of a destroyed tablet, the practice continues.

There are plenty of plastic sleeves and other accessories are available to help keep the device from being contaminated by food. So, we grab the expensive piece of equipment, find a recipe, and pile our ingredients on top of the tablet so as to weigh them out. Except that's not quite how it works, is it? (Do not pile ingredients on top of your tablet.)

This Multimedia Kitchen Scale KKS-0430 looks to fill in the gap between nonweighing tablet devices and those that can. Of course, this great leap comes at a price. No, not the monetary value (here expressed in yen; converts to about $60 USD), but rather the utility. All you need to play back videos on this little gadget is a microSD card. That's right: it doesn't appear as if this kitchen helper has any built-in connectivity. But hey, if you spill anything on it at least you're only out a kitchen scale.

Meet Spoutnik, the space-age microwave

Visit other worlds right from the kitchen countertop.

(Credit:Fagor)

America has fallen behind in the space race, folks. Oh sure, NASA may have little dune buggies rolling around up on Mars, but can Curiosity or Opportunity pop a bag of popcorn? Didn't think so. That makes it kind of hard to watch such outer-space classics such as "2001: A Space Odyssey" or "Spaceballs." There is only way to settle in with a bag of popcorn for a true sci-fi experience, and that is with a space-age microwave. And it's the U.K. that has it.

The Fagor Spoutnik is a microwave on its own mission. Available in three different colors (Blue Odyssey, Green Flash, and Ultra Violet), the spherical kitchen appliance shakes up convention while staying firmly rooted in the basics. The podlike contrivance features a soft-touch LCD display and offers variable power levels (500 watts to 700 watts). But where it really strives to explore new territory is with its design.

The microwave includes a turntable mechanism like most, except this one lights up. When cooking begins, it lights up red and then changes to blue when the dish is ready. Additionally, the 360-degree view offers a clear view of cooking food (and the light show). Finally, the domed lid opens up to provide easy access to the interior, which makes for easy cleanup. And that's one giant leap for microwave-kind.

Kohler's Bluetooth showerhead sprays songs

Moxie lets you rock out in the shower. We're not quite sure about the sunglasses.

(Credit:Kohler)

Do you like to listen to music while taking a shower? For me, doing so is a bit of a chore since I usually have to lug the speaker dock in from the bedroom, unplug the electric toothbrush from the outlet, and -- I know, I know, total first-world problems. Regardless, the whole setup process really soils the act of turning on tunes spontaneously.

Kohler recently announced Moxie, a showerhead that solves my problem by adding some useful tech: Bluetooth and a speaker.

The $199 singing sprayer works with any Bluetooth-enabled device and can wirelessly stream tunes or podcasts for up to seven hours of continuous play. The magnetically detachable waterproof speaker features several lights for connectivity or power status, and charges through the built-in USB connection. The showerhead isn't a slouch, either, as it contains 60 angled nozzles for a full water spray.

3D dinosaur cookie cutters, no glasses required

T-Rex isn't very scary when in cookie form.

(Credit:Suck UK)

In a world of cookie-cutter cookie cutters, it is not uncommon to find uninspired shapes. But then again, who cares? Cookies are delicious; it doesn't matter how they are cut. End of conversation. Except it does kind of matter; cookies not cut into circus animal shapes may taste the same, but don't tell that to the kids (or the adults who lamented the near death of that classic cookie). But even more unforgivable than carbon-copy cookie cutters, is when they become unrecognizable shapes. That is unless they combine to form a new whole.

The 3D Dinosaur Cookie Cutters from Suck UK combine to make fun three-dimensional shapes. Each set contains a collection of distinct shapes that are designed for children of all ages to construct. They might not look like anything individually, but when put together, the puzzle pieces form to become a fun, tangible, and toothsome treat.

There are four sets available: Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and T-Rex. Each set contains a few pieces that feature interlocking slots so that they may stand up after being baked and completed. (Much like those puzzled wooden kit models, except without as many pieces and much more delicious.) Standing a few inches tall when completed the clever cookies are not only fun but look (almost) good enough not to eat.

The Bar10der Ten-in-One bar tool has everything going for it

Cheers to anything and everything.

(Credit:Bar10der)

The level of sophistication in both professional as well as in home kitchens keeps increasing at a seemingly exponential rate. Part of this acceleration is perhaps due to increased specialization and availability of kitchen gadgets and accessories. Certainly interest in new recipes and procedures seems to be at an all-time high. No matter what one can dream up, equipment as well as online instructions are never very far away. And of course, that goes for booze, too.

The craft cocktail movement of recent years has brought with it the need for specialized tools -- or at least constantly accessible familiar ones. Taking up where the Swiss Army Knife left off, the Bar10der Ten-in-One Ultimate Bartending Tool ($49.99) looks to help usher in a new era of mixology, one booze-soaked beverage at a time.

Featuring a full bar's worth of gadgetry that all tucks into the handle, the cocktail contraption comes complete with the following tools: muddler, stirrer, knife, channel knife, zester, reamer, jigger, corkscrew, strainer, and of course, a bottle opener. Naturally, it is also available in four different colors. Deciding what to do with all that equipment shouldn't be hard to figure out; everything included is a common enough bar tool. But if inspiration is needed, the product's Web site does include recipe ideas. Cheers!

Juicer saves room on the kitchen countertop for healthy promises

There is always room for juice.

(Credit:Chef's Catalog)

Contrary to common perception, New Year's resolutions do not actually start on January 1. The idea is instead created some time between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. Perhaps the inception happens while chowing down on the umpteenth turkey-and-cranberry sandwich or maybe the spark of the idea comes while staring at yet another plate of mashed potatoes and gravy. No matter when it starts, it is probably safe to say that the bulk of these New Year plans involve eating healthier. Or, as the case may be, drinking healthier.

The Cuisinart CJE-500 Compact Juice Extractor is a low-commitment way to help usher in the new you. Designed with today's crowded kitchen countertops in mind, the appliance converts whole fruits or vegetables into juice while taking up a minimum of space. With a footprint of about 8 inches by 10 inches, the 400-watt juicer operates at up to 19,000rpm, delivering fresh juice into the waiting 16-ounce beverage container.

To be fair to the rest of the holidays, all that free candy on Halloween probably has something to do with subsequent promises. But one thing for sure is that with all the rich food that gets eaten during the cold weather months, finding a balance is important. Especially if that balance means finding room on the kitchen countertop -- say, between the doughnut maker and the ice cream machine.

Versatile indoor grill makes turkey sandwiches all year round

The Thanksgiving tradition of finding new ways to cook leftovers continues.

(Credit:Amazon)

It's time to talk turkey. A lot of turkey. As in turkey sandwiches. It is that time of year, after all. However, as high as the leftovers may be piled up in the refrigerator, that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to figure out what to do with them. One can only eat so many sandwiches. Unless of course, there can be found new ways of constructing them.

The Frigidaire FPPG12K7MS Professional Panini Grill (about $120) takes an old classic and smashes it -- in a good way. But panini sandwiches are just the start. The indoor grill opens flat and each side has an individual temperature control. The reversible cooking plates can be used to grill or griddle so when it comes time to fry up some bacon for that turkey sandwich, this one countertop appliance has you covered.

Finding creative ways to deal with Thanksgiving leftovers is a delicious tradition, but sometimes it's the classics that really hit the spot. The device features five adjustable height settings that can be used to find the perfect pressure for creating pressed sandwiches. With 1,500 watts and 240 square inches of cooking area, the indoor grill makes it easy to cook up some classic leftover combinations -- or perhaps to use that extra cooking area to come up with some new ones.
