Pure System sanitizes kitchen items
Posted by admin in Future Concepts on September 1st, 2010
Every so often you come across something online that just sets off a few red flags. You’re constantly having small facts thrown at you in articles and through random research that you do online to settle silly debates. Yet every so often, you get that inkling of a hint that something seems fishy. Although I’m all about this concept design, I really doubt parts of their facts. Either way though, having something to keep your kitchen sanitary could be handy.
“The research” showed 10 areas that were bad as far as bacteria goes, such as a sponge, dishcloth, chopping board and refrigerator. They then go on to say that the dishcloth and cutting board are difficult to sanitize and I’d have to disagree there. A cutting board you just have to know the right chemical to use and a dishcloth just gets thrown in the laundry. It’s entirely possible though that they know something I don’t, but none of my quick google runs have revealed any red flags over dishcloths. However, if you just want a different way to clean flat objects, then this is a perfectly reasonable choice. When it’s working it feeds the object through the machine and cleans as well as dries it. Being still a concept from Chang Shin Gwak, this isn’t up for purchase just yet though.

Do You Play With Your Food?
Posted by admin in Kids Gadgets on July 15th, 2010
This is a neat idea to make kids meal times a bit more fun, the Chew-Chew Train.
The Urban Trend Chew-Chew Train© is a great way to make sure your kids eat their entire meal. This Chew-Chew Train© transforms from a train into a functional dinner set. The engine becomes the cup, the conductor’s house becomes a bowl, the train’s platform becomes the plate and the coupling rods become the fork and spoon. Keep your kids entertained while they eat their meals. Gone are the days of not playing with your food.
More info and images can be found over on Urban Trends. Also check out the Build-A-Meal, which turns dinner time into a construction site (could get messy).

Kitchen Scale Wall Clock
Posted by admin in Clock Gadgets on July 2nd, 2010
This wall clock may appear to be nothing more than a very retro looking wall clock that attempts to mimic the look of a record. In reality this kitchen clock does double duty. As well as letting you know the time, this thing also can weigh things while you’re cooking in the kitchen. That way you have it handy for those particular recipes that give weights instead of cups or numbers of items.
Sure, it’s more accurate to have someone measure by weight, but I always hate cluttering up my cabinets with one more kitchen gadget. Thankfully this can hang on the wall, keeping you from going on gadget overload when it comes to the kitchen. You can purchase the scale for £23.99 or about $36 through LazyBone UK.

Smart Fridge knows how much food is in the fridge, and can make a recipe for it
Posted by admin in Future Concepts on June 1st, 2010
For those of you who can’t figure out what to make for dinner might really like this smart fridge designed by Ashley Legg.
This smart fridge knows what is in your refrigerator, and it can figure out from the food within what recipe you can make. It will then display this recipe on a touchscreen panel mounted in the door.
Of course, you will have to enter in the ingredients with the touchscreen panel. Yes, entering in the ingredients sounds like a very tedious thing to do, and my source says the same thing.
My source also suggested a bar code scanner for entering in your food items. I suppose that would be the fastest way, but I have another way that would save some more time.
You see, my wife likes to send me a grocery shopping list via text, and I usually get everything on it. If I were to come home and just wirelessly upload the list to the fridge, that would work.
Also, I noticed that this touchscreen panel for entering in the food items is inside the door. Uh, this entering in of the groceries could take a while, and it isn’t good to leave the door open for too long.

Spatial Interaction faucet is better than any touch-control faucet, anyday
Posted by admin in Future Concepts on May 28th, 2010
I cannot stand this ad for these Delta Touch faucets. I have a video of it after the jump so you can see it for yourself. I’d like to think that I am not OCD, but the dirty hands in the commercial are a visual kryptonite. The song is also terrible, and I’m told that the music is by the Count on Sesame Street.
Still, I can’t deny that there are times in which my hands are so dirty that I have wanted to simply touch the spigot in order to turn on the water. Mostly it is because I don’t want to soil the on and off knobs. I suppose the spigot is going to get soiled with these Delta touch faucets.
This particular design is Spatial Interaction, designed by Jasper Dekker. Instead of a touch, control of the faucet is obtained by the wave of the hand. I believe that the wave not only turns it on, but is good for controlling the flow rate, as well as the temperature.
Don’t ask me what sort of waves would be necessary for that, as I really don’t want to be conducting a symphony orchestra every time that I want to wash my hands.

Catalyst all-in-one cooking solution
Posted by admin in Future Concepts on May 8th, 2010
For some reason, the Catalyst all-in-one reminds me of an overhead projector that I used to have in my high school.
Sure, the bulb is a little high, and wide, but that is only because it is a microwave. In all honesty, I don’t see how that bar can hold up all that microwave oven, really.
Of course, that isn’t selling point of this Catalyst. Not that this isn’t selling yet, of course. The cooking top or range can split open, revealing a deep fry cooker underneath.
Granted, you probably should be cutting down and not increasing your trans-fat content, and my Source has pointed out that a deep fry cooker creates some serious oily vapors.
So, if this concept ever becomes a reality, I am not looking forward to the box that it comes in. I mean, there is a lot of negative space on this product. I can just picture all of the styrofoam that would be wasted in this box. This is stuff you have to think about when you have a product like this.
Also, you should probably think about how much counter top space that one has to have enough space for a product like this.

Brainwave Desktop microwave
Posted by admin in Future Concepts on May 3rd, 2010
This concept microwave oven is something that I could use in my kitchen, or better yet, my office desk.
I’m going to steal an old ad campaign slogan from Oldsmobile and say “this is not your father’s microwave”. Just to let you know, my father’s microwave oven had a dial you had to hand-crank to set the time. Just thought I would let you know how advanced we are in comparison to the early 80’s.
Yeah, this BrainWave microwave oven is far more advanced. It has a USB port, for one. Some of you might wonder what this is good for. Imagine a microwave that is hooked up to your computer that lets you know when your food is ready.
It also has an RFID scanner. The RFID scanner is made to work with pre-packaged food, so you can scan the built-in RFID chip out of the package, and the oven will automatically know how long and how hot to heat your food for you.
Of course, this BrainWave desktop microwave oven is just a concept. (All the good tech is, for some reason.) Something tells me that we might be looking at an age where we just take a microwave-ready meal out of the fridge, scan the chip, and dinner is almost ready.

Concept Future Kitchen controlled by Text Messages

Future Kitchen is a concept kitchen, and it is essentially what it says it is: the kitchen of the future. It may not be as advanced as the Jetsons’ kitchen, but it is more advanced than mine. Best of all, it uses something completely modern as control: texting.
Let’s say that you have something in the oven, and you want to cook it before you get home from work. All you need to do is send a text message, and it will start cooking. You can use it for running the dishwasher, the range, and pretty much everything else in the kitchen.
Of course, I can see a few things wrong with this particular product. For example, do you really want to have something in the oven while you are gone? It’s very easy to forget about your kitchen when you are away, and you don’t want to come home to a house full of smoke.
Even worse might be the cases where you think you turned your oven on using your cellular phone, but it turns out something went wrong, like you forgot to send the message. Just think about all those times you set a VCR to tape, and then it didn’t.
As I have stated before, this next gadget is just concept for now, but it really should be reality in a society that texts constantly.

The Nazis were working on jetpacks? It’s true.
Posted by admin in Future Concepts on April 28th, 2010
I like writing articles about jet-packs, and I just had to write about this one when I heard it was a Nazi jet pack.
Seriously, I’m not trying to tell you that all that jet-pack stuff that you may or may not have seen saw in The Rocketeer was real? Of course not, but the Nazis were playing around with this particular model, also known as the HimmelSturmer (aka the Skystormer).
Just to let you know, this picture here isn’t taken from some old Nazi archive files. It is simply a representation of what could have been.
The HimmelSturmer used a pulse jet engine, like the type used in the V-1 Buzz Bomb that rained on England many a time during the war.
The purpose of the HimmelSturmer isn’t to make the wearer fly like Superman, but it is to make the wearer leap tall buildings in a single bound. At least able to jump over minefields, barbed wire, trenches, or anything else that might get in the way.
It was planned for the soldiers to create 180 foot jumps at an altitude of 50 feet. As far as my source says, this tech arrived late in the war, and it doesn’t look like there was an active prototype.
Still, the idea of Nazi jet-packs is just plain cool, right? From a science-fiction standpoint, of course.

COMPAC Digital Surfaces are a new way to control a kitchen
Posted by admin in Future Concepts on April 10th, 2010
COMPAC Digital Surfaces has come up with some technology that is really a long time coming.
I don’t know about you, but there are times where I am cooking, and my greasy hands can’t turn the faucets, the oven knobs, or any of my other kitchen controls. I believe that we are headed for an age where practically every phone will be a touchscreen, but most of the operating systems in our kitchens are old-school at best.
COMPAC’s Digital Surfaces is an electric keypad that is integrated to work with the surface of the kitchen for much better control. See how the faucet has controls right next to it? It doesn’t look like I’ll be turning anything for hot and cold water, and I hope turning it on and off is easy as hitting one kill switch.
I’m guessing it’s probably pretty expensive to integrate this electronic keypad into the kitchen counter, and it should probably be water-proof and resistant to kitchen mess as well. Hopefully it will be easier to clean these things than the oven range.
Whatever the case, I’m guessing that we will see this in kitchens of the future, but they will probably be costly. Perhaps the technology will be easier to manufacture, and all kitchens of the future will have the Digital Surface. Then we will see a day where a little boy or girl will not understand a modern day faucet.
