Unlock This Safe Kitchen Timer

Kikkerland Safe Kitchen Timer

Unlocking the secrets of the kitchen is only a matter of time. Sometimes that time can be measured in minutes. At least if the Kikkerland Safe Kitchen Timer is involved. Featuring a 60-minute countdown timer and a fancy design that resembles a safe lock, the kitchen gadget is magnetic and sticks to the fridge until it is time to crack open a safe or some eggs–whichever the case may be. And best of all, at less than 20 bucks it won’t break the bank.

Star Wars Concepts Rejected From The Kitchen

R2-D2 Portable Wet Bar and Han Solo In Carbonite Popsicle Mold

On a day that comes once every four years, it somehow seems appropriate to take a look at what could have been. That is, what could have been in the kitchen. Action Figure Insider compiled a list of rejected Star Wars paraphernalia. Not surprisingly, there are a few kitchen-specific items.

Who wouldn’t want the R2-D2 Portable Wet Bar or Han Solo In Carbonite Popsicle Mold? Or perhaps you yearn for those “legends of the kitchen table,” salt and pepper shakers. In a world overrun with so much Star Wars merchandise, the question isn’t so much as why when it comes to these potential products, as it is to why not? I know I’m looking forward to summer and would appreciate a Floating Landspeeder Can Koozie!

Check out the full collection that somehow made it into the garbage compactor.

Portal Companion Cube Cookie Jar

Portal Companion Cube Cookie Jar

Thanks to Portal(s), the Companion Cube can be found everywhere now. There was even a Companion Cube sighting in NYC. However, while that may be all fine and good for fans of the video game, all that really matters is being able to find the Companion Cube where you most want it: on your kitchen countertop and filled with cookies. The Portal Companion Cube Cookie Jar measures seven-inches all around and will gladly accompany you through the house. Or the test chamber, as the case may be.
