StillTasty.com Launches an Apple iPhone App
Another day, another iPhone app. This one is from the folks at StillTasty, the website that tells you how long stuff in your pantry, fridge, and freezer will last. The StillTasty iPhone app costs $1.99 and is available in the iTunes App Store now. Like the website, you simply browse the iPhone app by category of foodstuff, tap the screen to tell it where you're keeping the item, and then get an estimate of how long it should last and the best way to store it. In addition to the info you'd find on the website, the app allows you to set expiration alerts for your items and to create shopping lists if you find an item ain't tasty...Michael Ruhlman's 'Ratio' iPhone App Now Available
The iPhone app based on author Michael Ruhlman's book Ratio is now available in the Apple App Store. I've downloaded it and messed around with it. It's a pretty handsome and very well thought-out lil' app. I think I'm going to put it to the test tonight in preparing cookies for our office cookie swap tomorrow....Michael Ruhlman's 'Ratio' Becomes an Apple iPhone App
Michael Ruhlman's Ratio is coming to the iPhone in the form of an app due out as soon as the Apple App Store can test and approve it. What it comprises: "The 32 critical ratios that form the backbone of the culinary arts, with instructions: doughs, batters, meat preparations, custards, sauces," along with an ingredient calculator, an ounces-to-grams converter, and, this being an iPhone, "ways to share your cooking on Twitter and Facebook." Ruhlman's site doesn't indicate a price, but he's mentioned on Twitter that he thinks "$4.99 is appropriate." [via Eat Me Daily]...Kluckr, an iPhone App for Wings Lovers
If you've ever found yourself aimlessly roaming the streets in search of the best places to get chicken wings, download Kluckr for your iPhone. For $0.99 the app will tell you your city's wings locations and rate them based on Heat, Variety, Service, Atmosphere, and Value—just in time for tonight's World Series game....Video: How to Play Farmville, the Facebook Farming Game
You know farming has reached faddish proportions when there's a Facebook game devoted to it. Farmville was launched in June but now has nearly 60 million users. It's somewhere between the Sims and Charlotte's Web where players harvest raspberries, pumpkins, and other foods, then sell their bounty for online coins. As this recent New York Times piece points out, more and more people are becoming obsessed with putting on their virtual overalls. "The game seems to have mesmerized people from all walks of life. Every night for the last two weeks, Jil Wrinkle, a 40-year-old medical transcriber in the Philippines, has set his alarm for 1:30 a.m., when he will wake up, roll over and harvest his blueberries." See...Video: Giant Pancake at the Gizmodo Gallery
What do people do while waiting for an incredibly long pancake to form? Keep reminding each other "this is so cool" followed by, "this is stupid guys, this is just stupid." Make noises. Search for more plates. Crack that's-what-she-said jokes. Wish for three arms. Keep looking for plates. And when the pancake is done forming? Roll the snake of a thing up and take a jaw-stretching bite (probably worth three pancakes alone). The folks behind the Gizmodo Gallery, an interactive wonderland of spiffy contraptions in New York City recently, decided hey, let's make a stupidly long pancake. The video, after the jump....Chipotle Relaunches iPhone App
A new Chipotle-ordering iPhone App allows you to customize orders and even pay for your meal without pointing to a single salsa tub in line, according to Business Insider. Technically it's not new, but there were some previous kinks that should be gone now. Download it here....New iPhone Application Lets You Virtually Grill Bratwurst
Swiss meat company Bell recently released a free bratwurst-grilling application for the iPhone where you blow into the microphone to simulate fanning the embers and touch the screen to move the bratwurst around the grill. When you're done cooking, you can email your virtual bratwurst to a friend, who will probably respond with, "What the hell is this for?" Ah, glorious technology.

You could eat this...or you could check your email! The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is groggily hobble to my computer, press the space bar to wake it from its sleep stage, and check my email. However, I don't see it as choosing Internet over food; I usually don't eat breakfast. (Yeah, don't remind me that it's "the most important meal of the day"—I've heard it a million times.) Yesterday's New York Times piece profiles people's struggles with technology taking up family time, in particular breakfast being sacrificed for email and other urgent Internet-required activities, such as checking Facebook or Twitter. These days more kids and parents start their mornings with phones and...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
