10 Ridiculous Kitchen Gadgets
I love watching infomercials because they are a reminder of how complicated our lives have become. They leave me wondering how humanity has survived without such useful inventions as the battery-powered battery charger and the bottom wiper? For this post, I am specifically focusing on the gadgets that were designed with the intention of making our lives easier in the kitchen.
Octodog Hot Dog Shaper
If you are not skilled with a knife, the Octodog will help you squish a tube of subpar porker parts into a shape resembling an octopus.
Spaghetti Ice Cream Maker
If 8-legged frankfurters do not persuade your kid to eat, surely transforming ice cream into the shape of spaghetti, lasagna or asparagus will do the trick. The Spaghetti Ice Cream Maker, which appears to be a re-branded pasta maker, will disguise your cold sweets to appear hot and savory.
Twirling Spaghetti Fork
Hog Wild, the makers of the Moo Mixer, have come up with a solution for the strenuous work that is required to eat spaghetti.
Please note: To install the batteries, you will have to unscrew the lid from the battery compartment with a twirling motion. If this task is cumbersome for you, you may need to enlist the help of a friend.
Banana Guard
Safely transport your banana in this phallic plastic carrying case. From the banana guard website:
Remarkably this device fits over 90% of commercially available bananas. How? Highly curved bananas can be straightened slightly to fit into upper curve and very straight bananas can be bent ever so slightly to fit into the mold.
Just remember to eat the banana quickly after smooshing it in the case because it is likely to bruise.
