Lazy Susan likes electric fondue

If only all appliances were orbited by food.

Fondue is fun. Relaxing with family and friends over a warm pot of bubbling deliciousness is something meant to be enjoyed at its own pace (assuming the participants can agree on what to put in the pot). The shape of a fondue party, being one that can be either sweet or savory, can take on its own structure, yet the jostling for ingredients always remains the same. Unless, of course, the ingredients come to you.

The Cuisinart CF0-1000 Lazy Susan Electric Fondue ($79.99) is a fun, countertop device orbited by moveable ingredient trays. Featuring a built-in electric heating element in the base, the easy-to-use appliance is capable of not only chocolate or cheese fondue, but it can also be filled with oil or broth. The detachable thermostat controls a range of temperatures while the lazy Susan ring keeps each of the four ingredient trays hovering about an inch above the tabletop surface.

It just wouldn't be fondue if fondue forks weren't included, and this set delivers with a batch of eight individually colored stainless steel utensils. The set comes with a notched fork collar inside the pot as well as a glass lid for those extended fondue sessions. The interior of the 3-quart stainless steel pot is nonstick, so the appliance is not only easy to set up and enjoy, but easy to clean up after, too.

KitchenAid toaster raises and lowers the bar (in a good way)

The KitchenAid Pro Line Toaster is a feature-rich kitchen appliance worthy of a space on the counter.

The KitchenAid Pro Line Toaster is a feature-rich kitchen appliance worthy of a space on the counter.

Toasters often get overlooked in the kitchen. Counter space, being the limited creature that it is, has room for only so many appliances. While this may bode well for strong multitaskers like toaster ovens, regular toasters often get left out in the cold. (Or at least left in the back of the cupboard.)

The KitchenAid Pro Line Toaster ($299) aims to elevate the once-grand appliance back out from under the counter. Sensing that there is only one direction to go but up, the toaster rises to new heights by incorporating a motorized lifting mechanism. Not afraid to dunk below the surface, the gadget also senses when bread is placed in the slots and automatically lowers the slices to initiate toasting.

Despite their diminishing numbers, or perhaps because of it, higher-end features in toasters have a market. Here, the body features heavy-duty die-cast aluminum construction and, of course, the slots are wide enough for thick-sliced breads or bagels. A defrost function is helpful for dealing with frozen goods, while an LED timer displays toasting progress. Additionally (and this is perhaps the neatest feature of all), the toaster has a keep-warm setting that automatically kicks in after the bread has been toasted, keeping the item butter-ready for up to 3 minutes -- because sometimes in the rush of the morning, even the toast itself can get overlooked.

Twiztt solves a cookware puzzle

The aptly named Twiztt Cut, Cook & Serve Set puts it all together.

The aptly named Twiztt Cut, Cook & Serve Set puts it all together.

(Credit:Chef Central)

Cookware can be deceptively simple. Deceptive, because it usually is simple. But then something comes along and adds another piece to the puzzle. Then another. Eventually, a set of interlocking pieces comes together, promising to do anything and everything. The problem is, sometimes when things get too complicated, their original utility gets lost in the fold.

Not so with the Twiztt by Joan Lunden Cut, Cook & Serve Set ($79.99). Like a puzzle, the set of kitchenware comes together to form something greater than the sum of its parts. As the name implies, the multitasking set goes from prepping to cooking duties, finally ending up on the table. But where it really shines is in its interconnectibility.

The parts work together with each of the four pieces designed to play well with others. Included in the set is a cutting board, a melamine bowl, a ceramic, nonstick stainless-steel skillet and a lid with adjustable steam release knob. The convergence of form and function continues with fun details that any cook would enjoy: the cutting board features a cut-out for easy scrap disposal, the lid locks into place for easy straining, and a neat measurement guide is included directly on the cutting board.

Now if it can only solve the puzzle of what to make for dinner.

Kenwood Cooking Chef now available in the U.S.

If you can think it, the Kenwood Cooking Chef can probably cook it or prep it.

If you can think it, the Kenwood Cooking Chef can probably cook it or prep it.

(Credit:Williams Sonoma)

Way back in October 2009, I wrote about the Kenwood Cooking Chef. The device has finally made it to the U.S. What sort of gadget is this machine that has taken so long to grace our shores? Well, the answer appears to be more of what it isn't as opposed to what it is.

Combining a stand mixer with an induction plate, the multitasking appliance carves out a new niche on the countertop. By allowing chefs to cook directly in the work bowl, the Kenwood Cooking Chef offers a new way to operate in the kitchen.

The highly precise induction heating element has a range of 68 degrees Fahrenheit to 284 degrees Fahrenheit and is designed to be put to use while the appliance is in use. The end result is that soup, pasta, rice dishes and more can be simultaneously cooked and mixed at the same time. But that is only the start.

In addition to the accessories one would expect to find with a stand mixer (like a dough hook, whisk, and stirring tool), the appliance also comes with attachments allowing it to be used as a blender and a food processor. The one appliance can literally handle everything from making soup to chopping nuts.

Has it been worth the wait? Well, that depends. At a price of just about two grand, this overachieving appliance is pretty much designed for the person who has everything. Then again, for the person who has everything, maybe all they need is an appliance that actually does everything. Either way, perhaps it's best to check back in another three years to see if it has become a little more affordable.

Chill out with a bottle of wine chilled from the inside

There is always time for a chilled glass of wine.

There is always time for a chilled glass of wine.

(Credit:VinOice)

The turning of the seasons signifies a time of change. Yet just because the weather will soon start to turn cool, doesn't mean it's time to toast adieu to chilled wine.

The Cork Pops VinOice Wine Chiller uses a gel-filled stainless steel chilling rod to cool down open bottles. It doesn't need to be removed to pour a glass since a gravity-hinged lid covers a pour spout that is attached to the chill rod, so wine can be served without the need to mess around with any wet accessories.

To use, the chilling rod should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes or so. When it's time to crack a bottle open, a bit of wine should be removed (i.e. consumed) to make room for the chiller. The pourer and the chill rod are designed to be separated, so an additional rod kept in the freezer can be ready to use at a moment's notice. And considering summer is over and fall is here, chilling out with a quick toast seems like quite an appropriate thing to do.

Count on this Talking Measuring Cup

The measuring cup finally gets a say in the matter.

The measuring cup finally gets a say in the matter.

(Credit:Hammacher Schlemmer)

Anyone who has ever used a measuring cup knows that they like to lie. Well, maybe not lie so much as distort the truth. That is, unless one lifts it up to eye level, the reading might not be so accurate. Attempts have been made to rectify this issue and include enhancements such as angled measuring cups (Oxo) or measuring cups with a scale built in. Those are all steps in the right direction, but we now have given the measuring cup itself a voice.

The Talking Measuring Cup ($59.95) chimes into the conversation by offering voice-assisted operation. Capable of measuring wet or dry ingredients, the kitchen gadget verbalizes the amount of the contents, pronouncing words in easy to understand English; for example, the female voice will say "one and one-fourth cups" when 1.25 cups are added.

The device can state the reading in either volume (cups or milliliters) or weight (ounces or grams) and includes a tare function to let users keep adding ingredients into its 3-cup capacity. When removed from the base, the kitchen helper can be placed in the dishwasher or microwave, and its removable flip-up lid is sure to come in handy for a variety of situations. All in all it adds up to one measuring cup that can be counted on -- assuming it tells the truth.

Steampunk coffeemaker comes home

Boiling water and pressure changes equal old-timey coffee-making.

Boiling water and pressure changes equal old-timey coffee-making.

(Credit:Hammacher Schlemmer)

Certain descriptive words tend to get overused. Do an eBay search for vintage or retro and that becomes all too clear. Another label that gets applied all over the place is steampunk. Sometimes one can even see it applied to things that plug into the wall. For those who fancy technology from the Victorian or Edwardian eras, that is probably not what they have in mind.

Ancient tech comes at a price, and in this case that price is $699.95. Inspired by a coffee-brewing process invented by Loeff of Berlin in the 1830s, the Genuine Balancing Siphon Coffee Maker is an old-timey delight that brews a pot of coffee starting with only a flame. The alcohol burner heats water inside a copper kettle, sending it through a pipette. From there, the hot water is introduced to ground coffee inside a brewing chamber. What brings the system home, however, is the fact that the flame is automatically extinguished as a counterbalance provides the action to lower a snuffer onto the flame as the copper kettle rises because of its decreased weight.

The elegant contraption continues from there, completing the brewing process because the pressure variance created by the cooling coffee sends the final brew back to the kettle. A filter installed in the pipette even holds back the grounds as the liquid makes its return journey. Constructed of brass, solid copper, and lead crystal all on a mahogany base, the fanciful gadget is a working example that reaches back in time no matter what it happens to be named.
