If you’re like, I’m still an amateur cook and still learning how to measure. I can never eyeball and visually know how much sugar, salt, water, etc to put in when cooking. Now, the problem can be solve with the Taylor Digital Measuring Cup & Scale.

The Blacktop 360 is portable, a BBQ grill and the best part, is in the middle of the unit – the fryer. Now you can deep your very own corn dogs, fries, nuggets, just whaterever …
The Burger Stomper Pro
Baseball season is here! Which means summer is almost here! Which means BBQ season is right around the corner! I just love the smell of charcoal on a warm afternoon, and this year, I will be getting one of these Hamburger Stompers so I can stop making all those irregularly-shaped patties. With this, I’ll always have burgers at 6 ounces and slider patties at 2 ounces – making it just the right size for buns plus helping me manage the hamburger meat more efficiently. Now if I can only find a better turkey burger recipe…

Only in Asia: McD’s French Fry Parties
These potato parties started out by kids in Japan, since French Fries are cheap, the kids just order a bunch of French Fries at McDonalds. Now it’s all the rage in Asia, as youngsters order bunches of fries. I have to admit McDonald’s French Fries are very yummy, but the my doctor would go nuts! I’m scared to ask for the sodium and calorie count.

The Popinator: Voice-Command Popcorn Machine
We all have those moments when the sudden urge to munch is greater than getting up and getting the darn food. No need to suffer any more, with the voice activated popcorn shooter, you can shoot food into your mouth at a moment’s notice. You don’t have to miss your favorite touchdown or get up from that 24 hour gaming marathon with your friends, just say the word “pop” to shoot out the popcorn and snatch the food out of the air. I wish I had one right now so I don’t have to take my fingers off this keyboard. Or if someone came up with a margarita model – then life would be complete.
Manwich: The Eggs Benedict Burger
You only live once and you should probably eat this at least once. It looks delicious with the egg benedict, bacon, and hamburger. It includes a poached egg (chicken!) plus bacon (the other white meat), and a dollop of hollandaise sauce that slides right down. To be honest, my cholesterol level just shot up just looking at it.

In China: Robot Chefs making Noodles
Whoa, here’s a paradigm shift in China, robot chefs making hand-made noodles in restaurants. It seems that human chefs take a longer time making noodles and cost more in wages, so restaurateur Cui Runguan decided to build noodle-bots. The noodle-bots named Chef Cui cost about $2,000USD each.

The Sushi Bazooka
I am a high volume sushi-eater at home. My wife just can’t keep up with the wrapping while I wolf down the sushi. Now with this gadget, I might have just met my match. Just simply open the device, put in the rice, fish, etc, and then shoot it out like a caulk gun. Heck, maybe this weekend, I can just put to use my caulk gun from Home Depot before this comes through the mail from Japan.

Lightsaber Chopsticks!
I tell my friends I’m buying these lightsaber chopsticks for my son but seriously, we all know this is for me. This is the newer version by Kotobukiya with LED lights glowing while you eat. You never know the next version might have an actual laser instead of an LED light. Imagine how cool that would be – just press the button and the lightsaber will slice your food.
Resident Evil Restaurant
This is not a joke, there’s actually a Resident Evil restaurant. It may not serve human body parts (well, I think it’s illegal, plus Zombies don’t carry money),but it does have waiters and waitresses dressed up in familiar character outfits from the Resident Evil universe. The Biohazard Cafe and Grill recently opened @ Shibuya Parco Part 1 in Shibuya, Japan.
