Its 2012 now, I just love the excitement of the new year. For many, it is a chance to make a fresh start, learn a new hobby or take up a new job. Forget the dreariness of 2011, its time to look forward to the future! One future i’m sure many foodies are looking forward to is that of kitchen gadgets.
Gadgets are the basis of what makes a meal a good one. I’ve always loved how gadgets make complicated tasks simpler and make the simple look complicated. The best gadget i have so far is my Kenwood Food Processor, it does everything from blending to grating to slicing to julienne (ing?) vegetables. For a friend of mine, its an ice cream maker machine. These appliances are a common place in homes. Now, how advanced can they go?
Lets take a look at my top 3 picks
1) 3D Printer makes edible food
Perfect for cake decorating enthusiasts. Basically, a printer is hooked up to a computer and various liquids such as chocolate sauce are put into the printers syringes. From there, you create an image on a computer and it will be ‘printed’ on the cake.The machine operates on electronic blueprints and edible inks. These two go hand in hand in creating new flavors and forms of food by varying chemical properties. That means its possible to even create a turkey…or louis vuitton inprinted porkchops. Insane!
2) Mypressi Handheld Espresso Machine
Great news for espresso lovers! I know my mom would be so happy to have this. How many times do you wish that you can have that delicious pick me up without having to line up at the local over packed coffee place. This dispenser relies on canisters of compressed N20 that pumps for your brewing period. All one has to do is insert one of the N2O chargers into the handle, fill up the reservoir with really hot water and pull the trigger after sealing it – resulting in an excellent hot brew of italian-style coffee shortly after. If only i had this for my university all nighters.
3) OpenerBlack & Decker
This gadget is here so its not really new, woohoo! we’ve all struggled with a stuck lid at least once in our lives–wrenching and twisting in futility as our fingers repeatedly lost their grip on the intractable top. Here comes Black & Decker’s Lids Off Open-It-All Center, a device that automates the simple process of everyday twisting. Imagine how many milliseconds you’ll save over the course of a lifetime by letting the Lids Off take over, while you dedicate your time and strength to more important tasks, such as opening bottles and cans. Oh, wait, it does that too!
If only i can afford them now
