kitchen

If you’re a fan of watching Patrick McGoohan being chased by spheres in The Prisoner or you’re looking for a compact kitchen well the “O” might be just for you.

Amazingly running off a single plug (ideal for expos?) the “O” Kitchen has been designed by a Brazilian team.

The seven foot shiny sphere unfolds to reveal a complete working kitchen that includes a dishwasher, microwave, sink, refrigerator and even an extractor system.

There seems to be plenty of storage hidden in the TARDIS like space and even has room for garbage disposal and a fire alert system,.

Being gadgety you also get online access, MP3 functions and a digital cookbook system all via the main control panel.

Set out of the kitchen, click on the remote control and it all folds away neatly hiding all the washing-up before your other half arrives ;)

It measure 210 cm high, 460 cm wide when open – half the width when closed.

Just check out the gallery – genius!

If you prefer to have complete control over your toaster so that you get the perfect warmed, golden bread-based food stuff every time then you need to check out the Magimix Vision Toaster – the world’s first see-through toaster.

It’s a mere 2 years almost to the day since I spotted the concept out on interwebs, but now a real, buyable see-through toaster is available!

The rather cool looking Vision Toaster is the very first of its kind to boast a clear, easy to clean, glass windows coupled with long life quartz elements which give constant heat for consistent browning – I mean, who wants unevenly warmed baps?

You’re looking for an an extra wide slot? The Vision has one as well as automatic self centering, an extra lift lever, and an accurate timing control should you want to leave the toaster at any time.

The Magimix Vision Toaster will cost you around £160 and you should be able to find it in decent stores now or have a look at www.magimix.com

Alright – let me just get this out of the way early:  Some drummers do have taste – and not just for Cider and/or Beer!
I have to admit though – putting the renowned drum-stick maker and gourmet condement mills together is not the first idea that springs to mind.
For those of you not familiar with [...]
