Microwaves are boring. They all look alike. They’re just plain, boring boxes that magically heat your food. There is no iPhone of microwaves. But if you want to spice up that bland food box, help has now arrived in the form of Microwave Stickers.

They come in a variety of patterns and make it seem like you have a cool new appliance. When you get sick of it, just put a fresh sticker on top of the old one. I for one want nothing more in life than to have some fish swimming on my microwave.

What kind of a world are we living in where we make gadgets for people who are too lazy to shake/stir? If this Non-Shaking Cocktail Cyclone had existed and was widely used years ago, the movie Cocktail would have been completely different and completely boring.

Just press a button and the cyclone action begins. This baby will hold 16 Ounces and runs on 2 AAA batteries. It’s just one of a bunch of gadgets that make us so lazy that in the future, human arms will de-volve into T-rex type baby arms.

Another gadget goes portable. This one is for a real good cause. Getting your caffeinated. The Mypressi Twist is the first truly portable espresso machine. It features a pneumatic engine that does it’s thing with the help of CO2 cartridges.

You can get up to 8 cups of freshly brewed espresso all in this little gadget. All you need to do is have the hot water and coffee ready. Coffee addicts can get the Mypressi Twist for $129 when it arrives in the states this fall.

I remember my mom and my grandmother both had big recipe collections that they kept on 3 x 5 index cards. When it came time to cook dinner for a special occasion they would go to the box and pull out something to make that was usually good.

Today’s moms and grandmothers don’t have to mess with a big box of index cards for their recipes with digital alternatives available. A new device from Key Ingredient has been unveiled called the Demy digital recipe reader.

The Cherry chomper supposedly provides a safe, quick and easy way to pit cherries, but this little guy looks entirely too happy about his job. Like he’s waiting to take a bite out of your finger. A “plunger design action pushes pit and residual juice into the bottom container”.

This little guy has chomped more cherries than Fabio after a book/I can’t believe it’s not butter signing. Yeah, it says the protective ‘tooth’ ensures that hands and fingers stay safely out of the way, but I’m not buying it, because teeth can fall out.

Boiling an egg doesn’t take any special skills. It’s a pretty mundane task. That must be why this BeepEgg device wants to entertain you while it boils eggs. In a cold and callus way I might add. It plays a few selected songs that will alert you to the egg’s hardness. Songs like “Killing Me Softly”. Poor eggs never get any respect. Everyone’s always making yolks.

That’s the song for soft boiled, a few others denote medium and hard. If you need to shut the thing up, just drop it into some cold water. If torturing eggs is your thing, the BeepEgg will cost you £15.

Soup nazis are no longer safe thanks to SOUPER. Soup crimes bounce off it’s shiny metal head. He’s capable of scooping big spoonfuls of Alphabets from your soup, then standing or sitting triumphantly. Did someone say “No soup for you!”? SOUPER says screw that jazz.

Eat up Junior. Safe in the knowledge that truth, justice and soup are all protected. Just don’t mix this guy up with your other action figures, then take him to your friend’s house. They will think your family is poor and laugh at you.

Getting ready for a long night of playing World of Warcraft? Do it right. Have some brew ready and pour it in these nerdgasmic World of Warcraft Steins. Your drunk will level up with every sip.

Plus, next time you are at one of your conventions, pull this out of your bag and impress some wizard ladies. All your geek friends will be envious. It might even score you some elf babe with a huge treasure chest. These fancy geek cups will cost you $89.99 to $174.99.

Okay. Not really. But that’s how a format war would play out with this VHS toaster. It may look like a typical Daewoo VCR, but this one takes slices of bread instead of VHS tapes.

It actually toasts the letters VHS onto the toast. It only gets better if someone makes one that toasts movie scenes onto your bread. When your VCR is toast, then by all means let it make toast. Video below.

There are all kinds of pizza cutters on the market. There’s one for everyone’s style and personality. The Pizza Pro 3000 Circular Saw pizza slicer is for manly men, while this $20 pair of pizza scissors is more suited to those crafty Martha Stewart types.

It combines the slicer and the lifter into one device. If you like really thin slices by the look of it. Just cut your pizza like you cut a piece of paper, then use the spatula to transport it to your plate.

Since the very dawn of pizza, when it’s mighty cooked aroma filled the air for the first time, the pizza cutter hasn’t changed much. But now some genius, and I’m not being sarcastic, has come up with the ultimate pizza cutting tool.

It’s the manliest, most hardcore pizza cutter ever. And though it won’t rev up like a real saw and cut both your pizza and the counter-top beneath, you will find yourself mimicking the powerful sound of the saw as you slice and dice and accidentally cut it into a million pieces due to fun overload.

Doesn’t it make sense to cook food in the same place you eat it from? The plate? If you could cook your food right on your plate, think of all the dishes you would no longer have to clean. We already can make a plate that keeps our food warm. But just imagine the water you would save from not having to wash extra pots and pans. You would just be washing plates.

Conductive plates are just concepts right now, but the technology needed to make them work in the real world is available. Right now a big drawback is the cord. Cords at the table are likely to spill wine and just plain get in the way. Despite this minor drawback, I think we are nearly ready for this concept to become a reality.

If you like your soda full of fizz, and love bar style beer taps, you might want to check out the Fizz Saver. It’s not rocket science, just screw the Fizz Saver onto your 2-liter bottle of soda, put the base on a flat surface, and you’re good to go.

Instant soda dispenser. It’s for those who like their soda like Hugh Hefner likes his woman: bubbly and buoyant instead of flat. There’s no explanation as to how it keeps your drinks carbonated. Probably helps that you won’t be unscrewing the cap several times and losing carbonation.

One thing that sucks about Thanksgiving dinner is that the Turkey takes so long to cook. We’re talking hours here and people are hungry. This Thanksgiving gadget that will help. The NuWave Oven Pro. The manufacturer claims it can roast up a 10-pound turkey in just two hours. That takes much of the wait out of Thanksgiving dinner.

How does it do it? NuWave uses three kinds of heat: Conduction, convection and infrared. That’s the secret to a perfect golden brown bird. They also offer an “extender” that can hold a 16-pound turkey. You know, if you want to feed a small army. This gadget with it’s three heat settings is just crazy enough to work.

You haven’t forgotten about the classic kitchen kettle, I’m sure. You know, that thing that whistles when your water is boiled. It’s a pretty basic design that hasn’t really changed. At least, until now. This Harmonica Kettle has a built-in harmonica, as the name implies, instead of the typical whistle. It changes the high-pitched scream into a melody. There’s one problem. This little musical act will cost you $265. That’s one hell of a concert price for making tea.
