Nu-Wave Oven, not (yet) available in stores…

Have you seen the ads? It’s an intriguing little appliance, that’s for sure. The Nu-Wave Oven is so far only available online or by calling the 800 number.

By combining the power of conduction, convection, and infrared cooking, the Nu-Wave Oven cooks foods thoroughly and quickly. Our patented 3 way cooking allows for meats to be moist and succulent but also crisply browned.

The Nu-Wave Oven is easy to use and dishwasher safe. You’ll be amazed at the amount of time this revolutionary product will save you in the kitchen!

Question of the month: What cooking trend would you like to see disappear?

Some of the food, gadget, and cooking trends from last year are overly complicated, and some are just plain silly! Are there any in particular that you’d like to see go away and never come back?

My opinion? I’d probably pick useless one-trick gadgets that take up too much room in my fairly compact kitchen and don’t do enough to justify their rent. Don’t get me wrong, I love gadgets with a passion that defies logic…but I have to use them often enough, or else they have to have multiple uses to gain precious drawer space in my kitchen! So, out with the melon baller and the turkey baster. I mean, really!

What would you like to see go? A particular cuisine? A kitchen decorating style? Gadgets that break too easily?

Kitchens of the future, part one

On Thanksgiving Day, in a fog of post-turkey bliss, I stumbled across a post by Core 77 showing off a couple of YouTube videos from the 50s and 60s, showcasing various Kitchens of the Future predictions. Well, guess what, boys and girls? It’s now officially THE FUTURE according to the timeline set by most of these videos.

I decided to go exploring on YouTube and see if there were more of these gems out there, and oh yes, there certainly are!

Have their dreams come true? Well…hmmmmmm…see for yourself!

Sauce Dispensing Chopsticks

This pretty much falls into the category of “Oh Brother, what next?” Which pretty much means that we need to talk about it! This gadget is now a couple of years old, but this is the first I’ve managed to come across it. Silly or useful…what say you?
