L’Equip R.P.M. Blender with Tachometer: “While it doesn’t justify the purchase of a new model just to get it, this ‘R.P.M. Blender’ from L’Equip has a tachometer on the side. It does seem sort of obvious now that someone’s made one, doesn’t it? I’d like to see this added to all blenders as standard issue.

Such a bad idea, but how can one resist the allure of the kitchen-based power tools? It’s only an exhibition piece, and not something we could buy, but still.
If anyone decides they want to build one of these, you should feel proud of your upcoming sense of achievement. However, try to build in the [...]
For those of us who watched the fourth episode of Alton Brown’s Feasting on Asphalt, there were plenty of items of note. There was the unfortunate accident, the nice police officer who managed to get his own TV show, and the revelation that Alton Brown pretty much makes coffee the same way I do (and, [...]
Instructables has a great entry on a homemade 3D Chocolate Printer, made from LEGOs (with some custom work). Its very rough at the moment, and the maximum geometry is limited by the fact that there isn’t yet a way to work in support structures, but it’s a great start. There are some movies on the [...]
At my day job, we have a Bodum Santos electric vacuum coffee maker. It’s a lovely device, and given the choice between an automatic drip pot and this, I would always choose this. It’s more automatic than a press, but more work than an automatic drip. The only thing that would stop me from recommending [...]
I haven’t gotten to the issue of roasting coffee yet, but this is just too keen to pass up. It’s a Solar Powered Coffee Roaster, brought to us via Make magazine’s web site. Might be a bit large for home use, but still cool.
Since my new USB drive is too large to fit on my keychain, it seems that I have a space available for something new. And what I think would best fit that space is this swank touchless infrared thermometer. I haven’t tried it, but I don’t have a surface thermometer yet, and this one looks [...]
2006 Seems to be the year of consumer control. First there was a soda that allow you to choose the flavor by pushing in some dots on the side of the bottle to release flavor syrups, and Dave’s Gourmet, Inc. has made a hot sauce with a dial to change from spicy to fiery at [...]
There aren’t very many new ways of cooking that have been introduced in the past several hundred years. After the oven, things stagnated until the microwave and eventually the Easy Bake Oven and its related ilk, such as GE’s Advantium. So it’s nice when something kinda different comes along. In this case, it’s the anti-griddle. [...]
I got an email from Sub-Zero today, about their new refrigerator. No, sub-zero pays me nothing, on account of me having zero influence over any significant percentage of the purchasing public. Given the opportunity, I’d gladly try to sell their fridge, because hoo-boy, does it look nice.
