Modern Mechanix found from the February, 1930 issue of Modern Mechanics. According to 1930’s scientists, the human body produces enough heat to cook potatoes as long as you put this kitchen contraption on your head. Scientists have learned that our bodies are living machines of the combustion type in which the burning of fuel (food) is accompanied by the consumption of oxygen, liberation of heat energy and production of carbon dioxide as is the case in all combustion engines. Scientists find that the heat from a single person, if properly focussed, would be sufficient to cook potatoes.

This Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Indoor Temperature features self-setting time and date. The clock automatically updates for seasonal time changes where applicable, and the clock with alarm and snooze features time with seconds. It also displays time, date, day, temp on one screen, and the clock can be wall hanging or free standing. We love a good kitchen clock, and we think having the temperature in the kitchen is also key - too hot or too cold can make for a great or bad baking day.

If you’re looking to save on cooking time, and you think you’re turkey cooking efforts could be easier then this Inflatable Turkey looks so delicious you can almost smell the stuffing when you blow it up and impress your guests. Keep the carving knives away, because this bird is strictly for show and made of hot air (so you’ll need to serve something else). It will fit right on the table carving plate as well while you cook a real bird. At Inflatable Turkey

The Fresh Traveler by Arian Brekveld allows you to keep your cereal separate from your liquids like milk or yogurt. We love the design, and also think this would work great for coffee and a little snack in the bottom - some chocolate kibble? At Royal VKB Fresh Traveler Stainless steel and Plastic Thermos

The Big Boss Rapid wave oven looks a lot like the Nuwave Oven but it’s a bit different. It features triple cooking power: halogen, convection and infrared heat, and roasts, broils, bakes, air frie, grills, boils and steams all of your food to perfection. It features dishwasher safe parts, and cooks and fries without added oil. We like this all in one countertop ovens because they save you time and energy to cook your meals. We’ll see if we can drum one of these up for review soon. At Big Boss Rapid Wave Halogen Infrared Convection Countertop Oven

Emson was sent us their Emson Electric 5Qt Indoor Pressure Smoker , and we have to say right up front we’re impressed. The indoor pressure cooker smoker can cook up to 4-pounds of food at once, and even cold smoke cheeses. For us in the Northeast outdoor smoking ends in October, and indoor smoking? Well we would have never thought such a thing existed until now. And now with the Emson indoor smoker we think our long winter ahead looks smoky and bright.

You know - we never think to get a fun corkscrew - just one that works and is touted to do the job. In our experience hiring a Captain like Captain Banana should probably do the job just fine after a few glasses of wine. Designed by Stefano Giovannoni in 2009, the parrot sitting on top of the “captain” turns as you place it over your wine bottle. At A di Alessi Captain Banana Corkscrew

We for one are tired of simple square or round waffles with no interactivity. This design concept of a waffle maker that makes maze filled waffles is pretty interesting. The only problem - once you solve the maze you’ll be pretty bored with these waffles. Via Gizmodiva.com

Dubbed the S5, the Sonos Play 5 All-In-One Wireless Music Player has 5 integrated speakers powered by 5 digital amps for room-filling sound. We think given the control you can do with your iPod or iPhone this makes for a great kitchen radio. You can enjoy unlimited music, wirelessly play iTunes, free Internet radio, Pandora, Napster and more. They’ve even recently updated the Sonos to use Spotify and others. The simple setup and wireless expandability to play different songs in different rooms (you can sync up multiple Sonos boxes for around the house sound) makes this an amazing product

Don’t you just want to finish the last part of the game while you make a little dinner, or perhaps watch some re-runs of Lassie? We do and this 7-inch widescreen LCD display with built-in ATSC digital TV tuner for high quality viewing is perfect for doing both. It features under-cabinet mounting for clutter-free kitchen counters, and the flip-down display panel saves counter space. There’s even a MP3 Link with stand for portable music playback, and a magnetic remote control for convenient mounting onto fridge. We’re not sure if we need yet another cooking timer but there’s even one built in.
