Ideas for Kitchen Gadgets

Greetings all! 

Here are 10 single-use kitchen gadgets as imagined by Anna Maltby and Elisabeth Sile in the April-2019 issue of Real Simple magazine:

1)      Miracle Filter: A Brita attachment that turns water into wine.

2)     Cookiecam3000: A device that snaps a photo of the person who takes the last cookie.

3)     23andmush: A swab test that identifies mysterious ancient items in the back of your freezer and also tells you if they’re related to anyone in Lithuania.

4)     Pad Thaimer: A gentle alarm that reminds you that you have five-day-old pad thai in the back of the fridge and automatically orders pizza when you inevitably decide the pad thai is too old to eat.

5)     Moo-Rig: Joey drinks almond milk, Mom prefers 2 percent, and Dad is newly obsessed with pea milk. This K-Cup-inspired machine dispenses everyone’s favorite with the push of a button. [MY NOTE: Pea milk actually exists!]

6)     Guac O’Clock: An alert that goes off as soon as your avocado reaches peak ripeness.

7)     Sponge Genie: A hands-free clamp that squeezes water out of gross, wet sponges left (not by you, of course) in the kitchen sink.

8)    Burrito Wizard: A salad spinner that transforms leftover Chipotle into a beautiful, healthy, but still delicious kale salad.

9)     Jar Jail: A cage that goes down around the recycling bin when someone puts an empty peanut butter jar on top of a too-high pile, shaming them into taking the whole lot out.

10) Scan’N’Tan: A handheld device that instantly removes pigment from colorful veggies to make them more appealing to children.

Which one was your favorite? Drop me a line!
