The Wall-Mounted Digital Scale and Clock consists of two pieces. The scale portion is controlled by a touchscreen, can weigh up to seven pounds and transmits the data wirelessly via infrared to the wall-mounted piece. The wall-mounted piece then displays the resulting weight in either metric or imperial. It can also function as a clock as well as a thermometer in addition it can also hold the scale portion which slides over the clock and locks into place. The Wall-Mounted Digital Scale and Clock requires a total of seven AAA batteries which are included and is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $90. Given the amount of time I spend doing things in the kitchen, I don’t fully understand the need for a kitchen scale. That being said, this combo unit doesn’t seem to be priced that out of line compared to the other scales Salter makes. |

I discussed the value of decanters when I linked to the Metrokane V1 Vacuum Decanter back in May. So I figured I would follow up with this duck decanter when it showed up in the feeds because it seemed kind of off beat and humorous. Little did I know how popular duck decanters were as I found four other ones on the first page of a Google search: here, here, here, and here. So much for originality, but whatever. This Duck Wine Decanter is available from Rosebuds of Haworth for $60. |

I have never been proficient at boiling eggs not that I try all the often. Perhaps I would with the Egg-Per’fect Color Changing Egg Timer from Burton Plastics. This timer has a heat sensor in its sensor and detects when the center has been heated enough for various levels of yolk hardness. A black mark on a graduated scale to indicate how well done the egg is. The Egg-Per’fect Color Changing Egg Timer is available from Sur la Table for $5. |

Produced by Propaganda in Thailand and winner of the Chicago Athenaeum 2006 Good Design award are the spoon chopsticks curiously titled Frog Get Mee. I don’t particularly understand why one would want to combine a spoon with chopsticks. As I understand customs, most liquids served in a bowl are typically consumed by drinking directly from the bowl. While I admit eating fried rice is difficult with just chopsticks, that spoon doesn’t look that much easier. I guess the concept is less confusing then the name of the product itself for which I could find no explanation. Frog Get Mee is currently out of stock at Shopmodi.com but was priced at $8. |

Continuing my string of intermittent chopsticks posts last represented with the Chork we have the EZ Chop Sticks from Kikkerland. There are a wide variety of training chopsticks such as this, this, this, and this; but none of them look like a clothes-pin. EZ Chop Sticks are made of wood and are nine inches in length. A set of four EZ Chopsticks are available from MerlinsBox.com for $10. |
