Kitchen gadgets seem to be one of the most abundant kinds of cool gadgets. Not only are there Cooking Gadgets.(which has its own category!) but the clean-up, organization and food serving deserve attention too. Which is exactly what you will find in this section.
Bluetooth Speaker With Roasting Thermometer-right tunes with right taste
I must say, when it comes to doing something or getting involved in a particular activity where you would like to raise things up to the next level, doing it with some of your favorite music playing in the background is definitely an affordable way of maximizing your potential. Not only that, don’t you feel as though music playing in the background, especially with your favorite tracks making their grooves heard to the masses, is capable of making any road trip feel a whole lot shorter as a rift in the time-space continuum seemingly opens up to turn a long journey upside down? Well, with the $89.99 Bluetooth Speaker with Roasting Thermometer, you can be sure that your attempts in the kitchen or at the grill will be a whole lot more joyful – and hence, resulting in tastier food, too.
This rechargeable device lets you enjoy high-quality wireless music as your roast remains in the oven. Using it is a snap – all that you need to do would be to pair it with your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or other Android-powered smartphone, and you’re good to go. Should someone decide to phone in, you can use this unique speaker as a hands-free speakerphone.
When it comes to roasting, all that you need to do is to select your meat type from the preset menu, the way you like it done (rare, med rare, medium or well), before inserting the detachable food probe. There will be a voice alert that informs you whenever the food is ready.

T-fal OptiGrill helps you whip up the perfect meal,every time
Summer will soon be upon us, and what better way to celebrate that season than to hold outdoor cook-outs with the rest of the family? Sure, you have been using the very same grill for the past two decades, and while it is still usable, how about augmenting the next cook-out experience with the $179.99 T-fal OptiGrill?
What makes the T-fal OptiGrill so special is the fact that it comes with a built-in sensor that is capable of adapting the cooking time to the thickness of your food automatically, without any fuss. Basically, it would be a no-brainer for you to cook stuff with the T-fal OptiGrill from now on. Apart from that, audible beeps are there to inform you of just when your food is at rare, medium or well done, so that you will be able to bite into just the right flavor according to how your taste buds love it.
There is also a cooking indicator light that will switch from yellow to red whenever your food is ready. All that you need to do is to select an automatic setting for burgers, poultry, sandwiches, sausage, pork, red meat or fish. Alternatively, if you are a more hands-on person, why not give the manual function a go if you want to dabble with vegetables and your own personal recipes.

The TowlHub-Multifunctional goes overboard
There are items that can do multiple jobs and make our lives easier. The Swiss Army Knife is a prime example, as it has a variety of tools in one place that don’t necessarily correspond with one another, but come in handy. Sometimes a marketing team gets together and makes something that is multifunctional, but in a way that doesn’t make much sense.
One such product is the TowlHub, as it will give you 4 USB ports, a wine stopper, speakers, and a place to put your paper towels in the kitchen. It’s not that these things can’t be together in a single device, more that it doesn’t make sense. You don’t generally want any electronic gadgets around water, and seeing that we use paper towels during cooking, cleaning, and a myriad of other activities that often include H2O in the kitchen, this would not be the safest place for your gear.
If you do like the idea and think you can keep this far enough away from the sink, it would be nice to have an easy-access Bluetooth speaker that would never be moved around. The wine stopper hiding in the top of the towel holder would be nice, but it will look a bit weird once it is in use. If you’d like to have the hub without the speakers it will cost around $50, and with them in place it will be around $80.
Best Waffle Maker quells those hunger pangs
Hammacher has certified yet another device and deemed it to be fit enough to carry the “The Best” prefix, and this time around it would be the $249.95 Best Waffle Maker. What makes this particular home appliance deserve such a title, and why does it cost so much? As you know how the saying goes – pay peanuts and you end up with monkeys. The Best Waffle Maker is no monkey business, this I can assure you, as it has consistently produced perfectly cooked waffles and was easy to use. This chef’s-grade appliance sports dual grid surfaces within its rotating clamshell, allowing one to bake a couple of 7.5″ diameter Belgian waffles simultaneously.
With the Best Waffle Maker, you will be able to keep the hunger pangs of your family at bay, and in tests, both waffles came out evenly baked. This translates to a golden and crispy texture on the outside, and yet remaining nice and moist right down in the middle, all without having to carry any burnt or raw spots that are found in the waffles which were made using lesser models. Apart from that, the nonstick plates also make it a snap to remove cooked waffles, while its handles remained cool to the touch so that you do not end up burning yourself by accident. The Best Waffle Maker would let you know when it is preheating, ready for batter, and when the waffles are ready.
