Garlic Zoom is the perfect garlic chopper

Posted in Kitchen by Conner Flynn on June 16th, 2008

Garlic Zoom is the perfect garlic chopperThe garlic zoom is like a little garlic eating Pac-Man. Instead of dots, he eats garlic. Then instead of eating ghosts he poops garlic shavings, making some tasty treats. It’s the beautiful majesty of nature, eat and excrete. It has a clear plastic body with rotating blades inside that are attached to wheels.

Just put a garlic clove inside and roll the wheels back and forth over another food, maybe some bread. Then just roll it back and forth and nicely chopped garlic will be on your bread. The only thing better then helping you with chopping garlic is having two for awesome kitchen racing.

Star Trek: The next generation of cake

Star Trek: The next generation of cake
We’ve seen Sci-Fi and gadget inspired cakes before. But a star Trek cake? That’s a new one to us. Check out this awesome cake replica of the original enterprise bridge, complete with crew. The creator runs a bakery in Baltimore and of course, is a Star Trek fan. He’s obviously good since the Food Network airs a reality show called “The Ace of Cakes” that focused on his bakery.

The show sometimes shows off specialty cakes and this one will be featured in an upcoming episode. It’s got Spock, Uhura, Chekov,Kirk and a thin looking Scotty not at his post. That is some amazing detail. It would be a pleasure to eat. As far as nerd cake goes, this is pretty awesome.

Baked bread now looks like Doctor Who villian

Baked bread now looks like Doctor Who villian
Kittiwat Unarrom has a master’s degree in fine arts and enjoys making body parts out of bread at a bakery in Thailand. Very realistic and disturbing body parts. They’re made out of dough, raisins, cashews and chocolate. He even paints the outside with edible paint to give it an even more gruesome appearance.

What do I think about it? I’m still trying to figure out why these bread heads look like Sontarans.(A popular Doctor Who villian as any geek knows) They’re horrible. And it doesn’t help that those aluminum plates look like collars. If these things come to life and take over the world, I just wanted you to see who your new masters were.

Brand your food With a BBQ branding iron

Brand your food With a BBQ branding iron
Sometimes grilling a perfect steak isn’t enough. You want to make your mark and let them know who grilled that juicy piece of cow flesh. That will impress your friends. All you need is this customizable BBQ Branding Iron.

This BBQ Branding Iron includes a set of 55 interchangeable aluminum letters and 8 blank spaces for spelling out almost anything. That gives you many possibilities. For instance, how many teenaged girl’s asses have you seen with the word “Juicy” on them? Put that on a steak and it’s not only a funny joke, but very appropriate. To create a new message just slide the letters into the tracks. AFTER it has cooled.

Dual Pizza oven: pizza in 90 seconds or less

Posted in Home by Conner Flynn on February 14th, 2008

Dual Pizza oven
As if by magic, this Dual Pizza Oven can take your dinner from a pile of dough with cheese and toppings to a steaming pizza in 90 seconds. That’s cooking two 12-inch pizzas simultaneously, not just one. Obviously frozen pizzas would take a bit longer, but still this is awesome news. The microwave is fast, but microwave pizza is terrible.

This oven combines 1440-watt coil heating elements with ceramic pizza stones. This distributes the heat evenly. The only thing we are unsure of is how it would fare with frozen pizza. That’s the only way this is a time saver, because if you’re making your own fresh pizza from scratch, you are investing way too much in the process and might as well open a Pizza shop. If you are the kind to pay $249.95 for a dual pizza oven, that may not be a bad idea.

Spice Blaster seasons your food at gun point

Spice Blaster seasons your food at gun point
The spice blaster is a project designed by Chinese designers Zhu Fei and was one of the entries from designboom’s recent “dining in 2015″ competition. We hope it becomes real in the near future, because shooting spices at food sounds like alot of fun. Not to mention the mischief you could get into with this gun. Imagine shooting pepper at that annoying someone and making them sneeze for a good half hour.

Yes this could be a fun toy. The idea here is that by using an air bag that compresses when the trigger is pressed, the spice gun blasts seasoning all over your food. This could be fun if you worked in a restaurant as well. Just run out into the dining area and randomly shoot spices at people’s food. You may not have your job after that, but those would be some good times.

Domino’s lets you stalk your pizza until delivery

Posted in Web 2.0, Websites by Nino Marchetti on January 30th, 2008

dominos-pizza-tracker.jpgWhat’s with the trend lately towards pizza going high tech? First we have Pizza Hut letting you text message your orders and now we have Domino’s getting into it by announcing its recently released pizza ordering tracking service. What’s next - flying pies landing on your front door step?

The Domino’s Pizza Tracker, much to the annoyance of its pizza delivery drivers, will let customers “follow the progress of their order online from the time they click the ‘Place Order’ button or hang up the telephone until the Domino’s delivery expert is knocking on their door.” To keep their drivers though from feeling like job performance is a huge issue (30 minutes or less?) you won’t find GPS trackers in the pizzas - management stated drive times will vary due to several factors, but you’ll at least know the pizza is on the way.

Cheeseburger in a can the new spam?

Posted in Home by Conner Flynn on January 29th, 2008

Cheeseburger in a canWhen char broiling a burger with your tailpipe is just not doing it for you, why not cook up a cheeseburger in a can? This tops my list of bad ideas and has got to be this century’s equivalent to spam.

The entire cheeseburger comes in the can. You just boil the can for a few minutes and pop it open. This comes from a company called Katadyn, a Swiss-based company that primarily deals with mobile water sterilization and desalination equipment. Until now. Now they are focused on strange MREs. They have a powdered wine that when reconstituted has an alcohol content of over 9%, a chocolate mousse, and of course the burger in a can. They all supposedly have a shelf life of 12 months. Gross.
