Electrolux Wind and UV Rays Dishwasher

Ultra Violet light has long been used for sterilizing equipment, for this reason it has been proposed that it could be beneficial to kitchen devices such as dishwashers to aid cleaning and prevent the spread of bacteria.  The Electrolux Wind Dishwasher utilizes this technology in its three step cleaning procedure. Step one produces a high pressure air flow which is passed over dirty dishes to remove left over food. The second step is to steam the plate to remove the more difficult greasy stains before the final step of UV sterilization.

Two things concern me about the Electrolux Wind and UV dishwasher, firstly its very small. From the picture you can see only two plates getting cleaned at once. This dishwasher therefore is very impractical unless you live by yourself and very few dirty dishes.  Secondly, I think this gadget must use more power and water per cycle load of dishes. For example if you think how many dishes you can position and clean in one average dishwasher cycle then compare that tok how many cycles you would need to run on the Electrolux dishwasher to clean the same load of dishes then the Electrolux seems inefficient to me.

We must not get forget that this is a concept, and in that it seems a pretty nice idea. Nevertheless let’s hope they can expand the idea to a full size dishwasher whilst keeping the cost down as well. Good luck!

I love gadgets for the home, i.e. anything that makes life easier is a must have gadget in my opinion. Today’s home gadget is for the kitchen and its called the Demy Digital Touchscreen Recipe Reader. Now I have to admit, I am not the best cook in the world but I will try and can rustle something up if I follow a recipe book.  The Demy Digital Touchscreen Recipe Reader is able to store thousands of recipes on its digital memory which can then be selected via the touchscreen interface and displayed on its 7″ screen.  The Digital Recipe Reader gets delivered with 250 recipes pre-loaded with the capacity to add up to 10,000 from the keyingredients.com website.

One thing I was worried about when I read about this gadget was whether the high resolution color touchscreen display would get dirty with fingerprints, oil, salt, etc. however it is highlighted that the Demy is able to be used in unpredictable and often messy kitchen environments having been cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

I like my toast or cereal in the morning, however everynow and then I feel like having an egg either a soft boiled or hard boiled.  The problem I have is with timing, I can never remember how long you cook them for. This is where the BeepEgg timer can help me.  This small kitchen gadget offers an ideal solution, simply place the device in the pan with your eggs and it will notify you by  playing a song;  such as singing “Killing Me Softly” for a soft-boiled egg and other songs for medium to hard boiled eggs.
