Cooking with wine is a great way to add depth of flavor to many dishes, however most chefs tend to at least wait until the wine is out of the bottle. If you’re into nuking (or toasting) your wine before it even has a chance to breathe, you may want to look elsewhere. While this Koolatron Countertop Wine Cellar may look for all the world like a cross between a microwave and a toaster oven, this small 6-bottle wine fridge has no plans on ringing in the New Year with a few bottles of overdone wine. (At least I think so; those buttons across the front could just as easily house a shade selector and one-touch popcorn control.)

Forget about that JooJoo tablet thingy that sounds to me like Arrington wanted to hijack: if you want to consume the internet, you’re going to have to cook it first. In a microwave. Literally.

I can just see the conversation now:

“Hey Hal, we got a warehouse full of these crappy air poppers that didn’t sell.”
“Well, Tommy, you know cooking with kids is big…”
“Yeah, but these ain’t made for kids.”
“Tell you what, slap a big ol’ “FUN!” sticker on it and they will be. But not too big, stickers are expensive.”
“I dunno… it’s still kind of… ugly. Maybe the boys will like it.”
“No problem, but a pink hat on it for melting butter and problem solved.”
“Hey, you just doubled our target market!”
“That’s why I make the big bucks. Call it the blinQ Popcorn Factory and we’re done.”
“You’re a genius!”
“You’d be surprised, Tommy. We haven’t got anything new in since 1993.”

For $29.95 you too can feel a part of the conversation.

One of the best things about coffee is that it can be enjoyed hot or cold. Start the morning off with a nice hot cup, and by the afternoon keep the caffeinated train going with an iced version. If there is any lull between cups of coffee, and it gets hard to concentrate or pay attention, Mr. Coffee has your back.

The Mr. Coffee Cafe Frappe Maker is a simple to use coffee-making gadget that brews and blends in three minutes time. Just add ingredients and press a button. The 20-ounce capacity blending jar will soon contain enough magic elixir for you to make it through the day—or at least until the next cup of coffee.

If only all parties involved some kind of helicopter-UFO appliance. Or at least melted cheese. With the Unold Flying Raclette you get both! Made for melting or browning cheese, which is then served with potatoes, meat and vegetables, the sci-fi looking kitchen gadget is a new take on a traditional raclette grill.
