Apparently much of the food poisoning and disease that spread around your kitchen do so because of nasty germs living on your kitchen towels. It makes sense. It’s a nice moist environment for breeding.

Student designer Paul Oxley has come up with something that may stop this phenomenon dead. He didn’t throw in the towel, so to speak. The Aquavac. It’s is a small countertop wet vac, which lets you suck up spills into it’s container rather then wiping them up. You can also use it to dry your hands. Germs will be in the Aquavac, not in your kitchen. Pretty simple and great idea.

The 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.

LG converges the Microwave and the Toaster. The device is not new, but it’s like a UFO sighting, you know they’re out there, but you’re still surprised to see one.

Obviously it hasn’t caught on, which is odd because it’s a great space saver and it frees up an additional power outlet in your kitchen. Maybe it’s tough to clean or something. Anybody out there have one of these? Do you like it?

This toaster tosses convention completely out the window. The Fagor TP-2006 X is a flat toaster and it looks way cooler than traditional ones. It also makes for a dangerous breakfast time. It’s probably not good for those with a house full of kids who like sticking their hands in objects.

Like other toasters, the Fagor TP-2006 X comes with a crumb tray that can be slid out. It’s clearly begging to have a burger on it’s grill as well, though I’m sure they do not recommend it. Looks like it can fit four slices of bread on it’s surface at once. It’s got me rethinking everything. If we can have a flat toaster, surely we can have a George Foreman grill that stands upright.

Banana’s are good for you. Eating a whole banana is no big deal, just throw the peel away and forget it. But what happens when you only want half of a banana? It gets all brown, spotty and nasty real quick, that’s what. Who wants to eat that? It usually ends up in the trash.

Not anymore. The NANA Saver is essentially a cap for your decapitated banana. Just pinch it on and it will now be fresh from the air. It will only set you back $2.98. Sure, you could just eat the whole thing, but that would put the NANA saver out of business.

Pandigital has revealed a hybrid HDTV, digital cookbook and picture frame for those who never want to leave their kitchens. It is called, aptly enough, the Pandigital Kitchen HDTV/Digital Cookbook/Digital Photo Frame and pricing is set at around $400.

The distributor of the Integrated Draught Beer Dispenser says this contraption is ready to dispense beer within five minutes of installation, with no need to chill a keg in advance.

Invented by a group of Silicon Valley engineers, the Readybot Robot is designed to clean up your kitchen. The goal of the project is to find out how much of an average kitchen the robot can clean. Right now, Readybot can take care of 30-40% of daily chores and the team believes that with more programming, they can get that up to 50% in another year. Eventually it will be at 80%. The prototype is more or less, a white enamel box with wheels, with two human-sized arms and chrome accents.

The robot fits in the same counter space as a dishwasher. After activation, he rolls out, deploys several antenna-type cameras, and raises itself up to human height, then gets to work. No info on availability yet, but very soon we are all going to have these in our home. I guess it’s a bit nice to know that now they can kill you dead, drag you into their dishwasher sized hole and clean up your disemboweled parts.

How much power does one really need to toast a piece of bread? Philips seems to think the answer is a lot - 1200 watts to be exact - and wants to sell you its HD2618 toaster for around $120.

Soccer mom Sally needs to make a lot of sandwiches for the upcoming soccer team family picnic she is planning. She also happens to love a local bakery which never slices its bread. What’s she to do? Cough up around $2,750 for the super fast Robot Coupe TP180 bread slicer.

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.

Not to often does a guy get to write about breakfast gadgets but it’s a good thing that cool gadgets are everywhere, including your kitchen!
