Have a smashin’ good time with the anger release machine

I think I need to see a shrink to help curb my anger management, but my blood pressure might reach the roof once I see my bill so I’ll just resort to meditation (ohm. ohm..) and inhale exercises while counting backwards from twenty to zero or maybe fifty to zero would be better. Mind you, I’m not the type who goes berserk when my top blows off but I can get pretty nasty when I’ve reached my limit.

I want to be like those women in movies where they get to throw expensive china at their womanizing husband or boyfriend. Unfortunately, I don’t have that much cash to spare to go on a throwing and smashing rampage.

This is where the Passive Aggressive Anger Release Machine (whew!) comes in, an interactive contraption created by artist Yarisa Kublitz where overstressed persons can divert their anger by smashing ornaments and centerpieces.

You simply put in a quarter, choose your desired “weapon”; plates, ceramic cats, gravy holders or figurines, and voila! The object will drop and break into many pieces. You can do this non-stop as long as you have quarters to feed the machine.

I only wish that people can throw the objects themselves and aim it at a life-size poster where you can tape the face of the person who made you blow a fuse. Now that would really help me alleviate my anger.

Hammacher Schlemmer Roaster

Hammacher Schlemmer, a known maker of quality kitchen tools and appliances, has an innovation that could topple off any other devices present in the market today because of its added efficiency. Presenting the Hammacher Schlemmer Roaster.

Actually this device is not just a roaster alone. This cooking vessel will also allow you to grill, smoke and roast in just one unit, which gives you less hassle when it comes to preparing your meals. You no longer have to worry about preparing different contraptions for different ways of cooking. If you want to grill, smoke and roast, you just have to do it all in one sitting, with this brilliant creation by Hammacher Schlemmer.

This machine is made up of three parts consisting of a coal basket, a cooking chamber and the lid. The cooking capacity of this machine is also amazing. It can cook about six whole chickens simultaneously. This saves you time and worry in setting up for another machine whenever you decide on how to prepare your meals.

The creation also uses a water pan which is coated with porcelain. This can function as a container for liquids such as broth which can be used to add moisture to the meat while it cooks. The cooking chamber can also accommodate different types of meat and vegetables to be processed. The whole contraption is also easy to carry anywhere. Whether you are planning to go to the beach or elsewhere, taking the roaster as a companion is a cinch.

The Littlest Microwave Ever

Have you noticed the trend in almost all of the gadgets out in the market today? All of these innovations come in small sizes, but they are equally equipped with the most admirable features that one could ever want for in a particular product.
One example is the iWave Cube, which is known as the smallest microwave to ever exist in the world. This incredibly small kitchen apparatus was first seen in the International Home and Housewares Show held in Chicago sometime in March 2008. Most of the appliances showcased in that particular event were all small and compact, but they have the most modern innovations that a product developer can think of. The iWave Cube runs on about 600 watts. The fine contraption has gotten its name from the fact that it only has a cubic square food and it can reheat only small items. The iWave Cube was made in order to cater to processing only small amounts of food. The microwave can act as a toaster if you intend to heat small slices of bread. If you plan to have a hot cup of coffee in the late afternoons, then you can pop in a small coffee cup into the iWave Cube and everything is ready.
The brainchild of the iWave Cube, Phil Davis, wants to release a compact toaster and refrigerator, perhaps with the similar size of his first creation. For sure, these small appliances would be the subject of great awe and attention again.
