BANG, BANG, BANG! That's the sound cleanliness makes! The Kitchen Gun is just like any normal gun (dangerous, makes loud noises, could kill people) except it also turns a dirty, grungy sink into a sparkly surface (with bullet holes, mind you). This silly commercial appeared on the BBC sketch comedy show, The Peter Serafinowicz Show. Video, after the jump.... More

You know, you're just askin' for failure when you use a microwave for anything other than reheating leftovers or popping popcorn. But I'm weirdly drawn to this crazy bacon-cooking contraption. Hang the strips from the lid of the WowBacon Cooker pitcher and the fat renders down into the bottom while it cooks. Sure, you're not going to get as juicy a bacon experience as you would if you pan-cooked the strips, but think of the ease of collecting the fat for use in other recipes. My guess is that this would be perfect for a recipe that called for crisp-cooked bacon—though who knows how well a microwave would do "crisp." $19.95 plus $7 shipping and handling, from wowbacon.com [via Boing...

A kitchen tool for a chef is like a bowling ball for a bowler. It's special, and sometimes so irreplaceable, even a similar-looking, similar-functioning object of the same name will not do the trick. What are your favorite kitchen tools? More

If Starbucks and Staples got married, they might birth this latte printer machine. Recently featured at a graphics trade show in Los Angeles, the OnLatte repurposes your standard inkjet printer to use caramel syrup instead of ink. Nothing says good coffee like a foamy recreation of the winged Pegasus. [via the Kitchn]... More

For the person in your life who loves eating a bite-sized piece of chocolate every hour in a controlled setting, get them the Chococlock. The clock releases a piece of chocolate once an hour. Grab the piece within its 30-second exposure to the outside world and the calories are all yours! If you miss your scheduled appointment with the chocolate, you'll have to wait another hour. Or press the cheat button that releases a piece on demand. Or just open a bag of chocolate candies. Bonus feature: the Chococlock also dispenses non-chocolate matter, like Skittles, or Advil!

Give your drinks more of a, uh, prehistoric touch with these "Fossiliced" dinosaur ice cube trays. What's next, bugs-trapped-in-amber ice cubes? (Or is that just bugs trapped in ice? Eww...) [via Boing Boing]... More

The late cartoonist Rube Goldberg, known for his drawings of absurdly complex devices that perform otherwise simple tasks, inspired this cocktail-mixing machine, which allows a seedless cucumber to travel through a matrix of cups until finally sliced and ready to garnish a vodka lemonade. You could probably fix the same drink—with just your hands—in about a minute, but why would you ever do that? The viewing experience is all the more enjoyable with polka music playing at the end....

The Soda-Club Home Seltzer Maker kit costs less than $100, and contains a carbonating bottle with enough carbon dioxide to make up to 110 liters of seltzer. Think about it: that's 110 less liter-sized bottles in the recycling bin, or worse, the trash can. More

Remember the scene in Hook when Rufio's bangarang fighting words inspired an all-out food fight brawl in Never-Never-Land? Too bad the Lost Boys didn't have this state-of-the-art Zing! catapult spoon for optimal launching of pretend food. The built-in spring means less spoon deaths by way of breaking at the utensil's neck. [via Boing Boing Gadgets]... More

I have a friend with a fetish for mini things. Travel-sized toothpaste, those midget ketchup bottles at upscale restaurants, adorable jam jars at high tea. She really needs to know about this $155 "Handspresso," as does the mini things fetishist in you. Like a bike, it uses the "pump air" method to generate pressure, eliminating electricity altogether. Whaddaya think? Any use for a gadget like this in your morning routine?... More
