Teeny-Tiny Dishwasher

From the size of it I know most people will go, “Tch, tch that’s a really small dishwasher!” But sweets this one’s for the double-income-no-children types and singles. That’s how specific designing is getting these days, and me being from the old school of thought of big happy families is finding it hard to digest! The sleek looking Gota is small enough to fit on the kitchen platform and has an eco-sense as well. Its one of those niche things that couples will like to show off about.

Fancy Rice Cooker

Paella, Biryani, Mexican Rice or Chahan; it doesn’t matter what you’re cooking, but if it’s for your in-laws you better get it right. For this, an investment in a good rice cooker is a must. However till you actually go out there and get yourself one, lets look at what Sang-Jang Lee is proposing. It’s a rice cooker that sports a touch interface lid and the promise of the perfect grain.

The Breville Hot Cup for single serve water

It’s not always necessary to brew up an entire pot for a hot drink in the morning. No matter what your drink of choice, sometimes it’s better to just mix up one quick cup.  If I didn’t love my tea kettle so much I’d probably pick one of these up myself.  Since on most occasions I only drink one cup at a time anyway.  It would also save on water if you fill up the pot only to dump the excess down the drain.

The Cordless Hand Blender, Whisk and Universal Chopper in one

Oh joy, here’s another set of gadgetry to clutter up your countertops.  This is one of those sets that I half expect to see an infomercial where they’re shouting out that they’ll throw in some other random gadget.  Unluckily for anyone trying to sell these things, these quite obviously look painful to use.  It looks like it would be awkward to hold and the poor person holding it in the picture can barely wrap their fingers around it.  I’m sure it’s nice to have a cordless blender/whisk, but if it’s difficult to use, that would defeat the purpose a bit.

Gorgeous Otto espresso maker is like time capsule from the future, full of joe

It is 9:48am and I am drinking instant coffee out of a gigantic mug shaped like the hollowed out brain pan of an anthropomorphic cow. I love the ease and comfort of instant coffee. Simultaneously, I am admiring the OTTO espresso maker, with its bright, world-flipping mirror polish, as metallurgically liquid and mercury-like as some sort of device sent back in time by advanced creatures from the last moments of the universe to record our lives.

Panasonic NN-H264WF Over-the-Range Inverter Microwave, White

Product Description

With 1200 watts of power, this over-the-range microwave offers several convenient features. Its epoxy interior has a spacious 2-cubic-foot capacity, while its cook-a-round, 12-inch, automatic turntable provides even heating. For ease of use and flexibility, the unit includes a control-touch panel, 10 power levels, five cooking stages, as well as delay start and a timer. With the touch of a single key, the oven’s 18-category Genius Sensor automatically adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times for cooking or reheating various foods. And for true multiple-power levels, the unit’s inverter technology delivers 60-percent power when 60-percent is requested, not a “pulsed” delivery of 100-percent power 60-percent of the time.
