Slicer Brings Sledding to Summertime

Adam Frucci — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:30:09 EST

Sledding, generally speaking, rules. Unfortunately, it only works in the winter time. Not so with the Slicer, which promises good times and grass stains.

What makes the Slicer so great is that it has detachable ice trays on the bottom. Simply pop them off, fill them with water, stick them in your freezer and you'll be all set to race down grassy hills like you're on snow. It looks amazingly fun and perhaps dangerous. [Product Page via Treehugger]

Cake Knife Lets You Sing While You Slice

This stainless steel, serrated cake knife plays music as you slice your delicious cakes and pies. Although its product page says that it plays tunes "suitable for every occasion," it only comes with "Happy Birthday," "Jingle Bells," the "Wedding March," and "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," linked to the four buttons on the grip. For $14, I would want my cake slicer to come with more musical selections, like "Auld Lang Syne" or the "Funeral March". I don't mean to be rude, but I could think of many more occasions that call for cake! [PfM via Cooking Gadgets]

Functional Concept: Slice-o-rama, The Vegetable Table Saw

Jason Chen — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 17:45:33 EDT

The Slice-o-rama is just a design prototype for now, but this cutting board table saw has rails to guide the built-in table saw into your lettuce, potatoes, apples and yams. It uses the kind of saw that removes casts from your arm, so it supposedly won't cut into your fingers. I haven't been lucky enough to experience the business end of one of those cast-saws, so I couldn't tell you whether that's true or not.

Interesting concept though, for those who are too clumsy to use a knife and want to kick it up a knotch, danger-wise. – Jason Chen
