Spring segueing into summer means degree shows, when students show off their, frankly, outtahere-lunatic creations. So, without further ado, let's go to the Centre de Design at the University of Quebec in Montreal, where we have an innovative wall-hung dishwasher, or dishwasheur, as it's probably called.

scale spoon
Spoon With Built-In Scales, Perfect for Dieters and Dealers
This spoon, which looks like a prop from CSI, has built-in scales so you can scoop and check the amount all in one. Made of ABS plastic and stainless steel, it has an LCD screen, and an accuracy of 0.005 ounces. It also measures in metric or imperial and can keep track of added weights. Just make sure you use it for cooking ingredients, and not for measuring stuff that might get you a visit from CSI for real. Available for about $37. [Gadget Review via ProIdee, OhGizmo, GeekAlerts]

LG Mates Microwave and Toaster, Creates FrankenMicroToaster
I need this. It's a microwave with a built-in toaster, combining two of the three appliances I actually use into a single smorgasbord of food-warming convenience, perfect for my munchkin-sized counter. The other is a George Forman-esque grill—all other electric kitchenwares are frivolous and silly. In fact, if LG could somehow convert the top of this mutant puppy into one, or bolt a steak toaster onto the other side, this would be the most harmonious kitchen appliance ever, the true kitchen in a box. I'm waiting. [core77]
knife hooks
Knife Hooks Bring Ultraviolence to the Coat Rack
This limited edition set of knife hooks is the perfect way to show guests that you are on the cutting edge when it comes to hanging coats, hats, cadavers or whatever. Designed by Tiyani Chang's TC Studio, these matte black hooks are made of polyurethane and steel. Sadly, they are not stabbed into the wall; they are screwed in more or less like normal hooks. Only 50 will be made available when they go on sale in May, at $50 a piece. The concept is so simple, it makes us wonder: How many of you have already created this design a hundred times over after burning dinner or mangling a Hot Pocket? [Bouf via Freshome]

Before the advent of the drive-through, families on road trips were stumped by the dilemma of how to have a hot meal ready at any time during their travels. But never fear, 1930s road warrior — hook up this automatic food cooking contraption to your exhaust pipe and your car will prepare your dinners for you! More »
bananas
Yes, We Have Some Bananas, 'Cause We Saved Them With NANA Saver
Whole bananas just look after themselves in your fruit bowl until they go all brown and spotty. But if your recipe calls for half a banana, then you know the spare hemibanana is going to go all gooshy really fast and you'll end up binning it. That's where NANA Saver comes in, with its pincer-like action grabbing onto the end of your bisected fruit and protecting it with a little sealing plate, keeping it fresh from the air. Simple, and only $2.98. Or you just could eat the other half. I'm just saying. [Product via Nerd Approved]

Coway's new cleaning device uses megasonic soundwaves to clean everything from meat, to produce, to dirty dishes — all with the frequency of a soundwave. The secret behind this gadget is inductive micro cavitation, which shakes dirty particles loose from the surface of the object.

Flavour Designs Solves the Mystery of the Tipping Bowl
Sure, this soup is great. Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Aw, crap—the spoon's only gone and tipped the freaking bowl all over my Diesels. Well, not anymore, friends. Please welcome Flavour Design's problem solving bowl, cleverly titled, And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon. It is so simple it will make you cry about all those embarrassing times you could have easily avoided—a receptacle for the spoon actually built into the bowl. Pure genius. Nobel Prize committee, the search is over for this year's Peace Prize winner. [Neatorama via Boing Boing]

2Juicy Orange Squeezer Too Rockin' For One Hand
Anyone who likes their, um, oranges, um, freshly-squeezed by hand in the morning should, perhaps, think about buying 2Juicy, a manual juicer from SuckUK. Anyone who doesn't should stick with their Braun automatic one—then at least you'll have one hand free for whatever else you like to do when you're squeezing oranges. [SuckUK]

Range Kitchen Concept, for Mobile Cooking at Home
Ok, tackling the standard kitchen design for improved eco-friendliness or chicness makes sense, but for portability, like this Whirlpool Range concept? Nope... don't see it. I mean designer Weston Boege has made it look all very nice, with those curvaceous lines and wooden accents. And his design squeezes in a small oven and stove-top gas burners, along with track-style wheels for mobility. But I'm not sure I'd ever want to trundle one gas bottle-laden component about the house so that I could cook near the dining table or outdoors. Surely that's what barbecues and zipping out to a Japanese restaurant for some at-table theatre cooking is all about? [Born Rich]

Runtriz Touchscreen Communication Displays Networks Up Your Luxury Home's Kitchen
This Runtriz touchscreen is something we'd want in the kitchen area of our home. Not because it's totally necessary, because it isn't, but because it display stocks, weather, news, recipes, wine organization, and even send emails and text messages to people on the outside. Why would we use this? One example is to make up a grocery list on the device (assisted by the recipes so we know exactly what to buy) and then emailing it to our phones so we can see it at the store. Or better yet, email it to the person who's actually at the supermarket so they know what to buy. That seems more likely. [Runtriz]
coffee pot
Kahva Coffee Maker Design Is Classy, Glassy
Lina Fischer's coffee maker design is scrumptious and works rather like an espresso maker would, but is better looking (although less iconic than those little moka pots caffeine heads go bubbly over). It comes with its own induction-powered table station, but what really sets the Kahva apart from other coffee makers is what happens to the Joe when it's brewed. More »
gas range
Fisher and Paykel have had a re-think of the humble kitchen range. Their new Izona Cooksurface looks more like a ceramic electric hob than a gas one, and dumps the four-burner pattern that nearly every other range uses. Though this gives you fewer cooking stations, it at least means you won't set your sleeves on fire reaching for the back ones anymore.

eco kitchen
This new Whirlpool concept is an attempt to tackle some of the rampant energy and resource wasting that goes on in the average kitchen. How many times have you heated something up in the oven, and then wondered whether anything useful can be done with the spare heat once you've finished cooking? Okay, maybe that's just my eco-guiltiness, but this new concept is designed to be 70% more energy efficient than standard kitchens and 24% cheaper to run.

A Steak Toaster. Did You Hear Me? I Said a Steak Toaster
Sometimes, you just want a steak and you don't want to go through a whole process to get it. Who wants to light the grill just so you can have one measly steak? Why make a whole production out of it? What you need, my friend, is a steak toaster. More »

Zojirushi Appliances Text You to Keep Grandma From Burning Down the House
You know, if your grandma is old and senile enough that you need a twice-daily email letting you know when she last used which appliances and for how long, it might be time to stick her in a home. But Zojirushi has developed a new system that does just that, so you have the peace of mind she hasn't burned down the house you stand to inherit by leaving the toaster on for too long. 'Cause if you really cared, you'd just call. [Trends in Japan]
