Thanksgiving is exactly a week away, and it’s time to start figuring out ways to impale that unfortunate bird that will find itself the center of attention as the festivities begin. What better way to celebrate than the Turkey Cannon, a $25 baking pan with a hollow shaft you stick up the poor turkey’s ass?…

Williams-Sonoma Triple Timer Takes a Nod From Cupertino

Those of you who have chosen to decorate your kitchen with an eye toward all things Apple will delight in Williams-Sonoma’s iPod-lookin’ Triple Timer. The basic kitchen timer allows you to set three alerts for different dishes, using what looks like a handy iPod clickwheel. (Somebody’s patent’s getting infringed.) The Triple timer also has a…

Cupcake Kitchen Timer Might Get You a Batch of Cupcakes or Two

This might be the perfect device to get someone to make more cupcakes for you: The Cupcake Kitchen Timer, which at 3.5 inches tall is almost big enough to qualify as a cake. Or you know what? You could take a giant leap and makes some cupcakes yourself! Don’t bite into this one, though—it’s made…

PopSci Culinary Gadgets Put the “Chen” Back In “Kitchen”

We never knew that the gear in pro kitchens had enough tech to be so—dare I say?—pantsworthy. Take for instance the Heidolph VV Micro Evaporator, that $3,000 kitchen distiller above. Recognizable food goes in one end, and a powerfully flavored goo comes out the other. (How very… soylent?) Below in the gallery, there are four…

CulinaryPrep May Let Me Eat Raw Chicken ‘Til The Cows Come Home

Although the press release doesn’t mention my beloved chicken sashimi, it does say that the CulinaryPrep home unit, which went on sale today for $400, “removes e.coli, listeria, salmonella and other dangerous impurities from food.” Still, something about it smells fishy. The key to the patented Grovac bacteria-killing process is some kind of “all-natural” antimicrobial…

With safe operation features, Thermador’s line of all-induction cooktops can detect changes in surface temperature and will automatically shut off for spills or prolonged use.

Juicer Hugs Countertops, But Look Out!

This design concept for a juicer by Gibli Ortal is quite beautiful, but perhaps its creator didn’t realize that it might end up in a rather precarious location. It certainly seems like a great place for a juicer, hugging the countertop right there within easy reach. But, uh, it could end up being in the…

Nutcracker’s Minimalist Design Gets The Job Done

Leave it to the commenters to make the nutcracking jokes, but this design concept could be a serious ball-buster. Consisting of two aluminum tubes, it’s sized to fit a walnut inside, and all you need to do is twist, and the nut is cracked right in two by the nutcracker’s ridged edges. Seems pretty simple.…

Metrokane L-Press Squeezes Manna of the Gods Out of Mere Oranges

What’s so special about an orange juicer, you say ?

Knife Cabinet Imprisons Son of the Voodoo Knife Holder

Pity the poor little dude at the bottom of this knife cabinet, barely getting out of the way of the longest knife.

Pizza for Dummies: Presto Pizzaz Doesn’t Defy the Laws of Physics

Unless the laws of physics have changed since the last time we checked, the Presto Pizzaz Electric Pizza Oven has got to be the dumbest idea for a kitchen appliance we’ve seen in a long, long time. This $35 goof rotates a pizza underneath its heating element, and then there’s a heating element in the…

TurboChef Speedcook Oven Ruins Dinner 15 Times Faster

Besides looking rather bad-ass, this TurboChef Speedcook oven can allegedly cook your culinary masterpieces 15 times faster than an ordinary oven. It works with similar principles to convection ovens, except instead of simply moving air around the inside, the Airspeed Technology apparently blasts your roast from the top and the bottom. It’s also aided by…
