10 Cool Geek Gadgets for the Kitchen

Being a geek is not just reserved for the computer room - it pervades
every aspect of your life. In order to enrich the lives of the geeks on
the site, we have produced this list of 10 cool geek gadgets especially
for use in the kitchen! Enjoy!


10. R2 D2 Trash Can





Every geek must have at least one item of Star Wars memorabilia - and
if you don’t - this is a great item to start the collection. You can
keep your old pizza crusts and soda cans in here, as well as your old
draft copies of quantum physics papers. Unfortunately the trash can
doesn’t beep and squeak like R2, but it is better than nothing!

9. Tetris Ice Moulds





Tetris. Ice. Moulds. What more can I say? These are a design concept so
you can’t buy them yet, but once they are out, I will definitely be
buying some for my next geek cocktail party! [Source]


8. Tic Tac Toast





With Tic Tac Toast you can now exercise your brain at breakfast too!
Grab some peanut butter and your favorite jam and have a tic tac toast
competition. The winner eats the toast so you had better brush up on
your tic tac toe skills or it will be cold left-over pizza for you.

7. Eye Vac





This is perfect for the geek who likes to eat his pizza standing up in
the kitchen. When you are done, all you need to do is sweep the crumbs
in the general direction of the Eye Vac and it will suck them all up!
You don’t even need to bend down! What could be more perfect for the
less active geek than this?

6. Digital Hour Glass





This isn’t the most thrilling of gadgets, but I had to include it
because it looks so cool! I have recently been looking for a new egg
timer and this is definitely the one I am buying.

5. Hood Toaster Concept





Unfortunately this gadget it still only a concept, but what a GREAT
looking toaster! I will be first in line to buy one of these when it
makes it to the production stage. It works by sliding a small cage
under the hood which holds the bread in place. Very very nice.

4. Nutritional Scales





They say you are what you eat, and these kitchen scales can tell you,
exactly, the nutritional content of just about any food you use to
prepare a meal. The scales come with an in-built computer that can
analyze the nutritional content of the food you are weighing, from a
database of over 1,400 different foodstuffs. The scales not only report
on nutritional information, but they can keep a record of total dietary
intake, for up to two people, so that you can monitor calorie intake as
well as other important dietary information over time.

3. Grenade Fire Extinguisher






One of these would look cool in every geeks kitchen! I would recommend
that you not wear one on your belt when in public as you may get tazed bro. This is definitely a must have for every geek - especially those with questionable talent in the kitchen!

2. Voodoo Knife Block





A friend of mine owns one of these knife sets but in blood red, and I
can tell you - it is even cooler in person than in the photo. This is
probably the coolest knife set I have ever seen and at only $100
(approximately) it is a real steel!

1. ReadyWhenUR - SMS Kettle





This has got to be the coolest gadget ever made! This kettle can be
turned on and off via an SMS message! Imagine heading home after a long
day and arriving home to find the kettle hot and ready for a good cup
of coffee! I am almost certain that owning one of these will cause a
dramatic increase in my daily intake of coffee. This product has been
marketed but does not yet appear to be available for sale. Let’s hope
we don’t have to wait much longer.
