BeepEgg Musical Egg Timer

by jrjuan on 14/01/10 at 12:00 pm

What’s not to love about eggs? They are cheap, can be made into different kinds of viand, and they are very easy to prepare. But even if they’re easy to prepare, getting the right consistency could be really hard. Like you have to decide how long you will keep your eggs there boiling, is it a few minutes after bubbles go or just a little while. Do you have to keep eggs boiling longer if from the fridge? How long would you make it sit boiling if you want it runny, hard or a bit of both? How long should I cook one egg? How about two or three? A lot other more questions pop up when you think about it.

Your old fashioned egg timer could work at times but it is only time based and doesn’t measure the temperature of the water. Like putting an egg on a boiling water is different from putting an egg just as you start boiling the water. A more effective measure is putting a thermo-sensitive device or the BeepEgg. The BeepEgg plays a music according to how your egg is cooked! Killing me softly for a runny egg, I wish I was a hen to have a firm yolk but a little hard on some parts, and Carmina Burana (like the sound of an epic happening, Google it) for the full cooked egg. All you have to do is cook the BeepEggs with real eggs and wait for it to play music.

The BeepEgg will make sure that cooking egg is fun, precise and entertaining.

Easy Hi-Tech Cooking with the Top 5 Digital Kitchen Gadgets

by twinks on 05/12/09 at 1:00 am

You know what they say about cooking right? They say it’s both a science and an art – and when it comes to the science part, you can’t take away the latest techie cooking gadgets in the A-list of kitchen’s must haves. They may not be as ground breaking as the discovery of fire or as big as the latest Hell’s Furnace 2000 Ultra Oven BUT they may spell the difference between a perfect omelet to an oh-my-gosh.

Here are the top 5 picks for digital kitchen gadgets in no particular order:
smartmeasure
Cooking is like alchemy, the secrets lie in getting the measurements right. The new SmartMeasure Cup puts cooking measurement in whole new pin point accuracy level. Estimation and guesswork will be a thing of the past. It displays precise measurement on its angled backlit LCD. The display is located along the handle for no frizz measurement. It’s smart enough to do unit conversions and offer pre-set ingredient measures. For easy cleaning, the cups are easily removable.

Next would be a gadget for frying. The Digital Thermometer Pan is the way to get the perfectly heated gourmet (pancakes and French toast comes to mind). This 7.8 inch Dupont-nonstick skillet has an integrated thermometer in the pan with digital readout in the handle. It displays real time pan surface temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius. When the cookbook says 200F and your reading says 200F, you know you’re cooking it right – for any other mishap, blame your dog.

Polder Digital Hourglass Timer
The next gadget is the 21st century kitchen version of ye old sand timer – the 5-inch Polder Digital Hourglass Timer. Its ease of use, popularity and cute designer factor made it available in the top picks. It features a button-lit Dual LCD that can display a 99 Minute Timer and Stopwatch 12/24 Hour clock. You can even flip it over just like a real hour glass.
digital thermometer fork
The next two gadgets are for meat and BBQ’s. Smoke and meat never taste as good as a well done barbeque. First is the intelligent Kitchen Thermometer Fork, it’s more of a “stick it in” thermometer with a dial for different meat types (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, veal, lamb or fish). Just select your food from the dial, stick it in and it will tell you if the meat is rare, medium rare, medium or well done.
digital BBQ tongs
The second product is the Admetior E577B Digital BBQ Tongs
– and this is the big daddy of tongs. It can basically tell you that the BBQ is done by measuring the internal temperature of the meat via its Temperature sensor. It also has a dial for different meat types with USDA-approved cooking temperature. Just select on how you want your barbeque done and it will tell you when it’s ready.

That’s our top 5 for Digital Kitchen Gadgets. Keep visiting for more top picks only here at geekiegadgets!

“Cooking in the Futur” – Intense and Light

by twinks on 26/06/09 at 3:54 pm

Having food and diet in the form of pills and tablets in the future is not so cool. Luckily, thanks to Ludovic Peperstraete, the future of our cooking and food preparation will not be a gastronomic disaster. Ludovic designed “Cooking in the Futur” for Electrolux design lab Contest and it is the future of culinary arts by using lasers to cook food. After 90 years, the future mom, chef or robo-cook will have the choice if they will fry, boil, bake, microwave or hit their food with 2 or more intersecting harmless lasers to cook their food. Three lasers in each point of an inverted triangle will cook the food in the middle. Although 1 laser can’t cook the food, crossing 2 lasers can easily get the job done.

cooking in the futureThe stylish, elegant and compact design of the device will give much needed space in the kitchen. The system is also easy to operate since you can scan your meal before cooking and set your desired texture. There could be options for texture from “Ye Old Leather” to “Cotton Candy” and everything in between. Unlike using the conventional oven or microwave where the right time has to be set to the best texture and flavor, in laser cooking just set the desired texture and there you have it. To add more flavor and aroma in cooking, a different and new type of ventilation is incorporated.
