When you're in a bind, the Swiss Army knife usually does just the trick. Nail file, screwdriver, and all-around snipper of things—what a little superhero. But what about when your tummy grumbles? Also an emergency, except the knife can't really help. Introducing the Swiss Chocolate Knife. A one-time use, but what a good time it would be. [via Gizmodo]...

George Foreman, the boxing champ and patron saint for college students eating grease-less chicken breasts everywhere, has reached a whole new level. His new Lean Mean Fryer ($149.99) undergoes a "spin cycle," like a washing machine, to get rid of fried fattiness. The Smart Spin™ technology claims to knock out "up to 55 percent" of grease, but still deliver on crispiness. This spinny fryer makes me wonder: what if you take fried foods on the swing ride at the fair? Will it have the same effect?...

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....

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...

What are your favorite kitchen tools?

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]...

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]...
