I’m not quite sure what to say about this, except every house should have one! LOL
Enough said here’s this weeks KGT!
I’m usually not a huge fan of tacos. We ate them almost every night growing up, and I got sick of them. But lately I’ve been craving tacos. This “taco taxi” will hold up to three tacos for you while you apply fixings and eat them one by one. Yum.
I could totally use this gadget in my kitchen. Not because I’m constantly burning stuff but because I’m a big fan of searing meats/fish in my trusty cast iron pan @ high heat. My smoky searing habits are so frequent that the fire alarm is no longer mounted to the ceiling in my house. It’s tucked away in the front entrance closet, even with it’s secluded location it still goes off once in a while! ENTER “Smokey the Silencer”
don’t know how they manage to do it, but many people are like dorks in the kitchen! They get two left-feet and splatter the whole place with mess! To top it off, invariable the smoke alarm goes off, thanks to clumsy ventilation and cooking! This situation is both funny and radical, coz you can’t have the smoke alarm go off for nothing! Rectify the situation with an anti-smoke alarm; welcome Smokey the Remote Smoke Alarm Silencer! No more hurrying to remove batteries of the alarm.
This everyday kitchen timer hosts an XBee chip that communicates wirelessly with the smoke alarm. So when the alarm goes off, simply press his hand to temporarily silence it until the smoke clears.
I think I might start a new trend on the site, I think I’ll call it “Kitchen Gadget Thursdays” or KGT for short because I’m a geek!. On each Thursday I’ll hunt the net to find the coolest kitchen related item and post a picture and a short write up. The guys over @foodieprints do a “wordless Wednesday” maybe I can start the “KGT”
Here’s my first KGT POST!
If you’ve become obsessed with giving your food that smoky flavor, you might looking into this Smoking Gun. It’ll allow for you to smoke a whole lot more than you normally would thanks to some unconventional methods. Instead of being stuck only smoking foods while you cook them, you can smoke items that you don’t actually want cooked.
You just choose your wood as normal and use the gun to blow it onto your food of choice. Since the smoke travels a little bit of a distance it won’t actually cook the food of choice. It will work on delicate fruits and vegetables as well as both cooked and uncooked meats. The extender hose measures 18” long and the gun itself features a removable filter. You can purchase The Smoking Gun for $99.95 through Williams-Sonoma.
Found this on gizmodo.com and figured I would share. I totally agree with the comments below!
