Top 10 Kid-Crazed Kitchen Gadgets

Product Design

 

I have compiled a few kitchen gadgets reminiscent of those brightly colored, action-packed kids toys we all grew up loving. Bon appetit! 

dumpling maker

This is the Gyoza Maker, a dumpling maker from Bandai. Very similar to the rolling machines many of us used as kids for molding Play-doh, this kitchen gadget is targeted for 8 to 12 year old girls.  Looks cool and makes cooking with mom and dad fun.

cherry pitter

Eating cherries with the pit is like eating a watermelon with seeds; who wants to do that! This fun cherry pitting gadget makes pressing out pits easy as ever using the same action as an old-school Swingline stapler. And to top that, you can see through it via the clear acrylic design.

Stamping out robots has never been easier. This revolving cookie cutter gadget lets you twist the features of the shape until you create the ultimate cookie robot. You can create up to 64 unique robot shapes.

Pasta Pasta Maker

Another brightly colored, toy crazed kitchen gadget – this machine, Pasta Pasta, transforms your dough into a variety of fun, homemade shapes. Yeah, not such a great idea to run pasta through the kid’s Play-Doh machine, so I would upgrade to this gadget.

Mario Batali Cheese Grater

Safety orange is a good color for this cheese shredder. This gadget looks a lot safer to operate than any other shredder I’ve used. Its almost hands-free design makes it easy to grip, press and push-pull your way to turning any block of cheese into a fluff of shredded cheese goodness.

Fruit and Vegetable Savers

These fruit and vegetable savers are what every kitchen needs. Save the other half of any fruit or vegetable by placing them cut side down onto these strap down freshness savers. Consumers can use these to cut off exposure to oxygen in the hope of buying more time, rather than more produce.

tovolomolds

Homemade is always better than store bought, so why not create your own frozen fruit treats? These nesting frozen fruit and juice molds look quite similar to the mini candy rings we all remember from growing up.

As we have seen, extruding shapes can be fun. This is another way to squeeze out creative shapes for any of those soft foods you can’t resist playing with.  The multiple heads create ribbons, ropes, and ribbed extrusions.

 cucumber-hearts-2

Why cut food into favorite shapes when you can actually grow it in that shape? This cucumber mold makes it possible to grow your cucumbers into hearts and stars. Yeah, it may take a while, but who else is going to be able to serve up heart-shaped cucumbers at the family picnic?

Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills

The Pet Rock, Slinky and Rubik’s Cube: three toys we all grew up loving. How better to close out this post than with a Rubik’s Cube themed pepper mill. Oh yeah, you know how it works; just twist, twist and twist some more. And no, it does no good to peel off the stickers and rearrange them to make the pepper fall out, that trick doesn’t work on this one.
