Uuni Pizza Oven

Politicians can’t agree on much, but on the topic of income inequality, there is little room for debate. Now the reasons for that inequality are open to interpretation, but the cold hard fact of the matter is that 1 to 2% of Americans are capable of having wood-fired pizza ovens, and 98 to 99% are not. Until now.

Thanks to the Uuni Pizza Oven, this concept reserved for high-dollar eateries and the homes of CEOs can now become a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment reality capable of reaching temperatures up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit and cooking a delicious pizza pie in about three minutes. Best of all, it’s stainless steel – so it cleans easy – and weighs about 11 pounds – so you don’t have to hire a construction team for pricy renovations. Good news for the rest of us!

HAPIfork Vibrating Fork

When you live in a society that moves at the speed of thought, there is a danger to eat at the same rate. And we use the word “danger” here because when you eat too quickly, you usually eat too much and your body doesn’t break the nutrients down as it should. Enter the HAPIfork, a kitchen utensil unlike any other that tells you when you’re being too much of a pig at the trough.

HAPIfork sends vibration alerts when it thinks you’re eating too quickly. It uses capacitance detection, hand-to-mouth distance and online data platforms to log your progress, all in an effort to get you to slow down at the dinner table. So for every guy whose Mother ever said, “Chew your food, dammit, you’re eating too fast!” this is the utensil for you.

Swiss Diamond Ultimate Kitchen Kit: 10 Piece Set

The Swiss Diamond Ultimate Kitchen Kit: 10 Piece Set isn’t the kind of product you’ll see every day on inStash, but we thought it would be a nice fit today because of our memories of the dreaded “single” years. On those rare occasions where cooking seemed like a good idea, inevitably it would lead to dumping the dishes in the sink and forgetting about them for a few days afterward. Good luck getting off all the crap without a few hours of scrubbing!

Swiss Diamond, however, has attempted to solve that problem with a non-stick surface that uses diamond crystals to keep the food loose enough for a light scrub that doesn’t leave behind any residue. Just avoid using metal utensils – no scratches – and you’ve got a winner. Comes with two saucepans (and lids), a couple of fry pans, a 3.2-quart saute pan (with lid), and an 8.5-quart stockpot (also with lid). She’ll be impressed!

Chef’n Bananza Banana Slicer

It worked well for tomatoes, why not bananas? That’s the question the folks at Chef’n must have started with when they launched what would become the Bananza Banana Slicer. This one isn’t a hard one to explain. Just slide the banana through the round hole, give it a squeeze, and whammo, you’ve got about six slices cut to perfection. Great for complementing that morning bowl of cereal or prepping a banana cake.

On a side note, it’s one of the most frequently lampooned products via fake product reviews on Amazon. If you’re older than middle school, then you probably have a good idea of where fake reviewers’ imaginations are taking them. Not for the PG crowd, but hilarious nevertheless.

Sodastream SOURCE

All right, Coke, Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew. We’ve had it with you. We’re just gonna start making our own soda, and now it’s going to be a lot easier thanks to the Sodastream SOURCE machine, which allows you to produce a selection of sodas with six different flavors and full control over the level of carbonation that the drink receives.

The machine itself is a masterwork of design from the world famous Yves Behar, who has wrapped this bad boy in aluminum and fitted it with a BPA free container for carbonation purposes – you shall not pass into our sparkling water, cancer! – and it allows you to keep track of everything through a handy dandy LED visual display that keeps tabs on carbonation readouts as you go. Cola, Diet Cola, Orange, Lemon Lime, Energy and Cherry included. Ahhhh!

BISTRO Electric Coffee Dripper

Making coffee – that’s actually good - is a real pain in the behind, right? Well with the BISTRO it is decidedly less so.

The people behind the BISTRO Electric Coffee Dripper, or basically your own personal Starbucks machine, claim that bitter, shit-tasting coffee is a thing of the past with one of their newest incarnations. The BISTRO coffee dripper boasts several advantages over your garden variety Mr. Coffee, like the high quality, removable (for cleaning) water tank linked to the filter via a glass-constructed pipe. Its filter, a titanium-plated and silicone work of art itself, needs no paper lining; from there your coffee is transported to a stainless steel, double-walled thermos that keeps it at the perfect temperature. The jug handles are constructed of heat-resistant silicone, too. And despite its relatively compact appearance, the BISTRO holds up to 40oz of coffee.

Technically and (especially) aesthetically speaking, the BISTRO coffee dripper blows every other system out of the filtered water.

Kebo One-Handed Bottle Opener

Yeah, yeah, we know: you can get a simple bottle opener for a buck at the local dollar store. So why put up $25 for one?

The Kebo bottle opener is, presumptively, more than merely a bottle opener: it’s a fashion statement. Per the Kebo website, this single-handed cap popper pays homage to the 1930′s “Theodore Low” bottle opener in design and sports stainless steel construction with a mirrored finish. The classy Kebo also comes with its own tin for storage and/or gifting. So while it’s pretty simple and straightforward, good things [sometimes] come in small packages, right?

It will make a classy and affordable gift for any beer aficionado who appreciates more than a little functionality along with their style.

WAVE Dish Nest System by Herbst

“New,” “revolutionary”: They’re practically staple terms assigned to the majority of “new” and “innovative” household products. The only problem? There’s just nothing new or revolutionary about 95% of the thousands of household gimmicks that come out annually. Will the trendy-looking, spongy ‘Dish Nest’ contraption live up to the usual hype, though?

That said, we’re not here to plug the WAVE Dish Nest system (granted, though, maybe that’s inevitable to an extent). Though, the Dish Nest is actually much more than meets the eye. Not only does the little device – constructed of silicon and polypropylene – fold and contour to hang on to just about any type of kitchenware imaginable (except the kitchen sink itself, maybe?), it’s tactfully designed to absorb water, courtesy of the tiny lips along the edges, and an architecture that curves inward ever-so slightly.

And just in case you’re wondering, as far as we know, the WAVE Dish Nest system is in no way related to the, eh, not-so-revolutionary “ShamWOW.”
