Twelve Foodie Days of Christmas: Day 11 – For the Gadget Aficionado
Some gizmos can be found in every kitchen, but, once someone has upgraded from boxed mac and cheese to homemade, they need more than just hand me down tools. In this day and age, we’re finding gadgets our grandparents would think came from outer space. On the second last day of The Twelve Foodie Days of Christmas, we’re bringing your kitchen in to the future with three great new kitchen gadgets.
Tellspec Food Reader ($320 and up)
Ever wondered what’s in your food? We don’t just mean what is on the label, but, what really goes in to store bought favorites. Well, the folks at Tellspec have had a successful run on Indiegogo and are now bringing you a handheld tool for understanding just what you’re putting in to your body. Lasers will read and beam information to your cell, from calories to additives. Perfect for the health conscious, gluten sensitive, or vegetarian on your list, it’ll ensure that nothing on the bad list is accidentally consumed. The device and subscriptions are expected for summer of 2014, but can be pre-ordered now. How cool would it be to be the first to experiment with this!?
Smart Planet Meal Kits ($14.99 and up)
Every already knows that brown bagging your lunch can mean tons of saving in the long run. But when it comes to break room bullying, no one wants to relieve the school yard shame of having an ugly lunch box. Look no further than Smart Planet meal kits! These eco-friendly lunch boxes are collapsible, dishwasher safe, and eliminate lost utensils and salad dressing spills. Start a healthy new year for the foodie in your life, and give them the very best way to enjoy their lunch on the go.
Lemon and Lime Press @ Lee Valley ($21.50)
Lemon and lime can add punch to all sorts of foods and drinks, but, isn’t the most fun fruit to juice. Between surprise squirts to the eyes and hard to fish out seeds, we’re glad to have found this lemon and lime press. With a double-pivot gear mechanism, hulk strength isn’t required. Forget about wonky griping and slipping. The bartenders and chefs on your list are going to rekindle their relationship with citrus if they find this under the tree!
They’re not robot servants, but, they’re helping make life a little easier in the kitchen. We can help with the foodies on your list too! Grab a gift certificate for one of our tours, or grab a friend and join us on the Kris Kringle Crawl, where we’ll shop and eat, eat and shop, and repeat, repeat, repeat!
