The Transfer Cutting Board from Chris and Ruby makes the age old problem of moving your cut foods from the cutting board to the plate a bit easier. The cutting board has a round cutout for plates and is raised up slightly allowing the plate to slide right under for food transfer. We’d like to see have an adjustable set of feet underneath the cutting board to allow for larger bowls, salads, and other things besides plates, as we usually transfer to the final place or smaller prep bowls.

We’ve been using this 12-Inch stainless steel fry pan with stainless steel lid from All Clad over the past week and love it. It features a 3-Ply bonded construction with aluminum core that distributes heat evenly, and they aren’t kidding. We’ve made eggs to fried catfish, and clean up is easy as long as you leave a little hot water in the pan. Our favorite part is how the 18/10 stainless steel interior will not react with food.

Ekokook’s entire layout has been well thought out with fresh vegetable storage, water conservation, container gardening, waste sorting, recycling, and composting in mind. Each bin does some green function including a built-in compost ready locker to ensure you’ll return the unused food back to mother earth. We also love the lines of the design with bright white and chartreuse green colors screaming modern and eco-friendly. If you combine the Ekokook with the Cornucopia food replicator of the future , we think you’ll have the best of the eco and future world’s of cooking. Via Gizmodo at Inhabitat

We’ve been covering the first “affordable” home sous vide cooking machine, and are pretty excited about it. We also are very excited about the uber review just published over at Gizmodo . If you don’t know what a SousVide oven is - it offers the product of decades of refinement by top chefs, the SousVide Supreme Water Oven cooks sealed food at precise preset temperatures for consistent cooking, and wonderful flavors. Vacuum-sealed food loses virtually none of its flavor or nutrients during cooking, and the pressure encourages flash marinating, naturally enhancing the delicious tastes and aromas of the food with little added seasoning.

Steak Station can monitor four steaks at the same time, allowing those commanding the grill to confidently cook multiple steaks each to the desired degree of doneness (we’ll take medium rare please). A monitor allows for quick and easy evaluation of how much a steak has been cooked. The colorful Steak Station probes measure from 115°F to 170°F, indicating a complete spectrum of doneness and helping you remember whose steak is whose. Steak Station can also be used in the oven as a regular meat thermometer to monitor meats throughout the cooking process, and it’s only going to set you back $29.99 when it’s released later this year.

There’s always someone dreaming of the future, and this time they’ve done an amazing job with a 3D food printer. Marcelo Coelho and Amit Zorhan, the members of MIT’s Fluid Interfaces group have developed a futuristic cooking concept, Cornucopia. The Cornucopia countertop food fabricator with an intuitive interface doesn’t ask you to print a menu instead it prints the food. This inventive cooktop promises to print out the food right in front of you. It’s a concept for now but once it’s out for the production, it’s gonna be important part of our hi-tech modern houses.

I got up this morning dreaming rotisserie chicken, and then thinking whether or not I could buy one that made more than 1 chicken for the kitchen. Well - it looks like the smallest you can get if you go above the 1-2 chicken size is 8 chickens. This roaster cooks eight three pound chickens in two hours at 350 degrees farhanheit. It has a removable full size base drip tray for easy cleaning, and glass in the front and rear for excellent point of sale - not a big selling point for our kitchen, but I get it. We’re thinking this is overkill, but you never know - if you have a family of maybe 16-20 this might not be overkill. At Anvil America CGA8008 8-Chicken Electric Rotisserie Oven
