Taylor Digital Measuring Cup and Scale

Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By Khalid Hosein / March 11, 2010

Another must-have gadget for your kitchen that is very practical and can replace your existing analog, boring tool. The Taylor digital measuring cup measures both dry and liquid ingredients, and displays it on the LCD screen on the handle.

It can convert weight to volume for water, milk, oil, sugar, and flour. It can display both metric and imperial units and weigh in increments of milliliters, cups, fluid ounces, grams, and pounds.

No need to change batteries – a long-life Lithium battery is embedded.

Fun at Breakfast with the Catapult Toaster

Gizmo of the Day, Miscellaneous / By Khalid Hosein / January 18, 2010

Make breakfast fun again with a toaster catapult/trebuchet! Set the angle, position your plate, and set the toaster. This toaster will launch that piece of toast out when it’s toasted.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a real item, but a design idea made by Dutch product/concept designer, Ivo Vos. You can see more of his interesting work on his website.

Oxo Food Scales

Gizmo of the Day, Miscellaneous / By William Appleyard / March 31, 2009

This set of food scales is something a bit out of the ordinary – instead of having your display on a little screen under that big mixing dish where you can’t quite see it, it pulls out to allow for easy reading.

Apart from the pull-out, backlit display, the scales are pretty much like any other electric scales – they support zeroing so that you can put a dish on the scales, zero them, then weigh the weight of whatever you put in them. They can also take up to 11 pounds, which should be more than enough for the domestic baker.
