So the waffle tongs as hair clip idea didn’t seem to catch on. Hard to believe, but true. However, that doesn’t mean food and hair don’t have a future together. (Soup serving waiters, please close your ears.) As far as hair accessories go, those offered by Fake Food Hatanaka look the most delicious. Yup, wearing fake food in the hair is a thing in Japan. But don’t judge, plenty of us have walked around for a week with ketchup in the hair after a big food fight, right? Right?

Okay, so perhaps this scale for veterinarian use is a bit of stretch for a kitchen gadget blog, but the product picture is too hard to resist. (Plus, TGIF.) So if you came here looking for a kitchen scale, here is a nice, old one to look at. But if you need a vet scale, it’s hard to argue with a llama.
The Salter Brecknell PS1000 Veterinary 1000lb Scale
From the picture in the product description, I thought that this would be able to fit on my counter, (and for the record what animal is that? Some type of weird mouse?)
Then of course, there are those with needs for a large, high capacity scale:
At first, I could weigh my sacrificial animals on a plain old bathroom scale, but that grew impractical when I needed to graduate from chickens to livestock.
Be careful what you weigh, though. The scale isn’t designed for everything:
Yes it will stand up to the test of weighing llama after llama, but as soon as you introduce alpacas to the scale, the cpu heats up considerably and discolors the white display area to an unsightly pinkish-brown.

Pump oil sprayers have become a standard accessory in the kitchen. Makes sense: they use no propellents and spray a fine mist of oil on whatever you point them at. However, while elegant, the contraptions have mostly lacked color. Or at least, the color of your choosing.
The Savora Misto Oil Sprayer
Now I appreciate me some waffle tongs as much as the next guy, but I’m not sure they justify a ten dollar price tag. Now granted, I’m sure these Norpro Waffle Tongs
But then again, might as well one pick up just in case — perhaps if its waffle-picking up duties are over exaggerated, it could be used as a hair clip instead!
One is never too old to play with toys, right?
Well, it may not be the most fun gadget on the countertop, but this little guy will zoom about (with a little help from you).
The Cuisipro Paper Towel Holder With Wheels
It may not be the fanciest toy in the kitchen, but it is sure to be the one put to the most use. Just think about how many kitchen tasks require a paper towel.
It may look like it is ready to topple over as soon as a sheet is grabbed, but reviewers seem to like it. As of today, it has three 5-star reviews on Amazon. Certainly, Amazon reviews are always suspect, but these seem genuine. And hey, if it fails as a kitchen product, it can always be used as a funny-looking toy car.
If only it were remote controlled…
