Fridgezoo Refrigerator Pets

 

Have you ever instinctively went over to your fridge, nab the handle and pulled it open? Your eyes dart around, looking for random stuffs instead of your usual snacks and cooking ingredients. It seems forever, standing there, savoring the cold breeze. It never ceases to amaze me that every time, without fail, I’ll open the door of my fridge just to stand there and look for food that never existed.

That’s until I found a Fridgeezoo creature hiding behind a box of fruits. Fridgeezoo are creatures that ‘hide’ in your refrigerator and surprise you with a different greeting whenever you open the fridge door for a peek. It is not only cute but also very small and adds a new look to the dull background of your refrigerator. In a deeper aspect, they’re not just toys or displays, try leaving the fridge door open for a period of time and see. If you’re lucky, you might get hear it scolding your for doing that!

 

This is an extremely beneficial function since it serves as a reminder for you if you unintentionally left your fridge door open for a long period of time or if the situation such as the one above occurs. It not only allows you to conserve precious energy and but also keep the food in the fridge fresh. For $15.99 and a choice of either a boy or girl Polar Bear, the Fridgeezoo creature is in fact, loved by both kids and adults for its adorable design and special characteristics.

Salad Sunrise XL

 

Preparing salad for your dinner guest is not as easy as tossing some lettuce and tomatoes together and serving it in a fancy bowl. Guests can be picky with salad; some may want French dressing and others may opt for herb or balsamic dressing. The pickier guests are even concern of the vinegar to olive oil ration that you use in your salad dressing. To overcome this dinner headache, an olive oil cum vinegar dispenser called the Salad Sunrise XL was created.

The Salad Sunrise XL kitchen gadget looks like a vertically elongated tea pot. It has one long spout that comes out from the base and another shorter spout that comes out from middle. Using the Salad Sunrise XL is pretty simple based on the law of density. The two major components of vinaigrette are olive oil and vinegar has different density. Therefore when you pour both into the Salad Sunrise XL; you will find that the oil will come on top while the vinegar rests at the bottom.

Should your guest prefer more vinegar instead of olive oil, they simply tilt the Salad Sunrise XL so that the longer spout at the base will pour out just the vinegar at the bottom. The spouts have small openings for easy control of the amount your guests would like to have in their salad.

Besides the olive oil and vinegar combination, you could also try olive oil and lemon juice. On top of that, you could also add fresh herbs into the Salad Sunrise XL, so that your guest won’t need to add extra seasoning into their salad.

Perfectly Wrinkled Tablecloth

 

Ironing is one of the most unpleasant house hold chore. It is hard work bending over the ironing board and trying to maneuver the iron head around those delicate buttons. After an hour or so, you will have a sore back and perspiring over the heat from the iron. Now imagine ironing something even bigger; a table cloth; it is certainly an ironing nightmare.

Fortunately for those who hate getting the crease out of a table cloth, the Perfectly Wrinkled Table Cloth is now available. This table cloth will never need ironing again because its creases are disguised by vibrant colors digitally printed unto its 100% cotton cloth. The Perfectly Wrinkled Table Cloth was created by a Copenhagen based textile manufacturer. The multi colored lines cleverly covers the creases creating an attractive grid like pattern on the table cloth which will certainly add character and attitude to your dinner party or dining area.

On top of that, should your guests stain the table cloth at the crease area, the reactive dye used to color the cloth would camouflage it immediately saving you the heart ache of trying to wash the stain out of the table cloth.

Sadly, that is as far as this table cloth goes and Martha Stewart would definitely disapprove of a table cloth that clashes with the table’s centerpiece and cutlery. Otherwise, for USD 160, you not only have a table cloth but a fancy work of art which you can hang up on your wall or drape on other furniture in the house.

Personal Soup Chef

Personal Soup Chef

 

Good soup is not only defined by taste but also by texture. Soups such as those made from tomato and watercress are expected to be smooth and without lumps floating on the surface. To create soup that is smooth and delicious, you will need fresh ingredients and most importantly; a really good blender. The equipment for this job would be the Personal Soup Chef.

This kitchen gadget is a dream come true for those who love soup but hate the slicing and the dicing; especially onions that make your eyes tear. The Personal Soup Chef automatically chops the ingredients as well as cooks them in the container itself. Therefore, you do not need to transfer the chopped ingredients from the container to the pot. This would also save you from washing and additional pot after you have made the soup.

It looks just like a regular blender but at the base of the glass pitcher lie the sharpest and most durable pair of blades that can reduce whole tomatoes into paste in a matter of minutes. Once you are satisfied with the texture of your ingredients, you may add chicken or beef broth into the pitcher and turn on the heating mechanism in the Personal Soup Chef.

You may select a temperature between 150 F and 200 F and leave the soup to cook on its own because it also has a timer. You can set the timer up to 30 minutes and it will automatically stop cooking the soup so you do not have to worry about burning it. Another advantage of the Personal Soup Chef is that the lid and pitcher are dishwasher safe.
