It’s not a very good idea to write about kitchen appliances, now that my stomach makes “grr! grr!”. I know you don’t understand what in earth I want to say, due to the fact that the joke (‘cause it’s a joke) was made by a friend of mine. Anyway, the point is I’m so very hungry, there’s nothing to eat between these four walls, I’m not in the mood to show how skilful I am when it comes to preparing sandwhichs (I’m sick of them, anyway), so writing about something that is related to the world of food isn’t the best idea.

Anyway, to make it faster and, therefore, less painful, I’ll tell you about a device that is aimed at helping you become a chef at home. Its name is Cooka and it was designed by Maurizio Maiorana.

This interesting concept of a portable stop top mat that can be folded up uses silver as a conductor. If you’re asking yourselves why, let me tell you that this element has “the highest thermal conductivity of any metal” ( Wikipedia). Therefore, its thermal properties recommend silver for effective heating of all sorts of pots and pans.

Not only the Cooka is very elegant and portable, but it also comes with other impressive features. This is a multi burner hot plate, with three different-sized plates that are all incorporated in a Liquid Silicon Rubber (LSR) which is also a very good thermal conductor. On the other hand, all around the silver plates there are small holes that are designed to constantly blow out a stream of hot air. This happens for a very logical reason: this way, the excess heat isn’t wasted. Another great thing about Cooka is that the LSR is resistant to temperatures from -60 to 280 degrees Celsius.

Alright then! There’s nothing to stop me from becoming a chef at home, except maybe for my laziness.

The microwave must have been designed thinking about college students who are familiar with syntagmas like “I don’t have the time nor the possibilities to cook a normal and healthy meal”, “sandwitches are heaven sent” and so on.

Microwave ovens are easy to use and they “heat food quickly, efficiently and safely, but do not brown or bake food in the way conventional ovens do”. What did I say before? Microwave oven is the perfect gadget for young people who don’t have the time to waste.

The Kenmore Countertop Microwave is an appliance that every pizza lover needs, as it comes with an integrated pizza drawer somewhere underneath, as you can see in the picture above. Made of stainless steel, the microwave comes with 6 auto one touch buttons, such as reheat, cook, defrost, express defrost, popcorn and potato, while the oven has 4 auto cooking pizza buttons. This means you have four different setting you can choose from when you decide you want to eat pizza for dinner. The four buttons are frozen rising crust, frozen regular crust, fresh regular dough and fresh par-baked crust.

A great thing about the oven is that you can always use it if you want to enjoy yourself with some cookies, biscuits, bread and pastry.

Another advantage consists of the fact that the 1100W microwave can function independently from the oven, which is a 1400W one. If you’re interested in the best microwave meals that you had in your entire life, then go grab the device from Amazon for $267.

Remember the virtual pets called Tamagotchi that created an incredible sensation in 1990’s, when they first appeared? If you don’t, let me refresh your memory with information that is to be found on Wikipedia about the famous virtual pet: “The Tamagotchi is a handheld digital pet created in 1996 by Aki Maita and sold by Bandai. Over 70 million Tamagotchis have been sold as of 2008. The Tamagotchi is housed in a small egg-shaped computer. Three buttons (A, B and C) allow the user to select and perform an activity”.

Tamagotchi wasn’t just a virtual pet to play with. You had to feed it (food or snack), play games with it, clean up its waste, check its age, the discipline, the hunger, the state of happiness and, most important, you had to connect it with other friends.

The virtual pet enjoyed a gigantic success, but the Tamagotchi trend eventually came to an end, like all good things. However, Takara Tomy released a new virtual pet to play with: the Yuruppy, which is very similar to its predecessor, save for the touchscreen.

You can choose between three different animals, such as a puppy, a kitten and a chicken. There are some other activities for you to enjoy with the Yuruppy, as you must pet it by rubbing your fingers across the screen. Not to mention the fact that the new device comes with 14 mini games.

Unfortunately, the Yuruppy is expected to become available only in Japan, so this is an exclusive virtual pet to play with. It will cost the Japanese customers approximately $21.

Well, not really. You’d probably expect this to be a flameless candle just like those that you’re so very familiar with, being practically all over the place these days, but don’t let appearances deceive you. What you have in front of your eyes is, in fact, a Hand Held Flameless Lantern that doesn’t comes with a candle glowing inside the lamp.

Still, if you wonder what makes it lighting the way it does, you should know that it is provided with a flickering bulb that gives you the wrong impression. It makes you believe one thing, but it’s the other way around. And, if you think about it, this is much safer than having a candle burning inside a lamp, isn’t it? But, on the other hand, the Hand Held Flameless Lantern wasn’t designed to replace the candle smell that some of the people love so much.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Crafted with a bronzed metal base, while the shade is made of real frosted glass, the lantern comes with a timer option, which means that it will turn on every day at the exactly same hour. In addition, it is set to shut off after five hours of lighting. Anyway, you can turn it off whenever you want, if the five hours seem too much.

Measuring 8 inches tall, this flameless “candle” with timer runs on 3 AA batteries for approximately 200 hours and can be purchased from Amazon for $19.95.

Bath time is probably the most invigorating time of the day, when all our worries are left behind, somehow evaporating and leaving no trace of their presence whatsoever. Most of the times, they reappear after that holy half an hour when the only thing that counts is to fill your energy reservoir.

And what better way to enjoy the most comfortable and unique experience could you think of than wallowing in the bath tub while listening to your favorite music? But having music somewhere near the water can easily turn in a dangerous adventure and I’m sure you’re all aware of the truth of my words. Unless you have a waterproof wireless speaker to save you from any trouble that such thing might bring.

The iDuck Wireless Speaker is something that is able to provide a little bit of company during your bath time. And its greatest advantage is the fact that it’s waterproof, having an integrated high quality wireless speaker that allows you to listen the music you most love without having your iPod anywhere around. The only thing you should do is to just plug in your device into the 3.5mm connector of the egg shaped transmitter and your job is done. Not to mention that you’re ready to go… dabbling in water!

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

For a better bath ambiance, the waterproof wireless speaker changes its color, being provided with four different color schemes. The iDuck requires 4 x AAA batteries in order to work, but you’ll also need other three for the transmitter. And you should know that the batteries are not included in the package.

You can purchase the duck-shaped waterproof wireless speaker for no more than £27.99 or approximately $40 from Chalfontgifts. Unfortunately, they are all sold out for the moment.
