Combo Kitchen Gadgets

Combination gadgets never get old, and here are some new ones to make kitchen tasks a little easier.

PIZZA CUTTER AND SPATULA

Designed to cut through pizza and then flip sideways to dish it up with a flick of the wrist, this pizza cutter and spatula looks like it could even work its way through a dessert or two.

Soup and Sandwich Tray

Grilled cheese and soup never look so good as when they are sharing the same plate. This combo bowl and plate set is the perfect size for any soup & sandwich.

OXO Fat Separator

Combining a strainer and measuring cup, this fat separator helps to keep the flavor of gravy, soups and stock without the fat. Non-slip grip and see-through design are always useful when working in the kitchen.

kitchen knife

Grater, herb scoop, peeler, zester and knife all in one — this combo knife set does it all. Saving drawer space is smart design, and by using this tool, you can ditch those four other tools and save some valuable space.

5 in 1 Kitchen Utensil

This 5-in-1 utensil set combines a scraper, strainer, spreader, spoon and server made from reclaimed nylon. It even locks together for storing flat and has a 450-degree melting point.

The Coil Lamp, created for an exhibition of conceptual furniture in Chicago, has now found its way to your living room. The one of a kind lamp is made from wrapping an orange, 100 foot cord around an acrylic skeleton to create the form of a lamp. Bright idea? Sure.

 

Wireless Wearables

Wow. These interactive portal shirts are really cool. Each shirt has a pinhole camera and a high resolution LCD TFT display screen with 2190mAh Lithium-Ion battery belt to power it. The pinhole camera sends the image wirelessly to the blue shirt for displaying and vice versa. Great for… well, I don’t know what. You can display these state of the art shirts yourself for a hefty $100 each. Removable parts make it washable and composite video inputs make it compatible with video games, too. I’m sure you could find a good use for one.

 

Second Uses For Ordinary Objects

Cashed in the clunker and need to rid the trunk of unused objects? Why not give your funnel a second life?

Wipe down mirrors, glass or electronic wires with a coffee filter. You can even divide stacked chinaware to avoid scratching.

old toothbrush innovation

Run an old toothbrush through the dishwasher then use it to clean the hair out of razor blades to extend the life of a razor.

babywipe canister design

Use baby wipe containers for markers, craft supplies, and sewing items.

See how to even transform a light bulb into a ship in a bottle. Anything can be  reused if you take the time to be creative!

Some of you may remember my interview with the author of Spoon and Tamago a while back; well, here is some more Japanese design for your viewing pleasure. This address tray is made from stacked paper and used to store hand written contact information. When closed, the top tray doubles as a pen holder in the notched-out grooves.
