Put Your Name On That Steak

Original Monogram Branding Iron

Pointing at the steak or chop you have scoped out on the grill only goes so far. Some sneaky grill usurper can always come swooping in, stealing the precious grilled goodie and claim it as their own. “Well, I didn’t see your name on it,” they might say with a little smirk of their face. With a little forethought, you can have them turn the steak over and find out just how wrong they are.

The Original Monogram Branding Iron is a three-letter customizable grill accessory that literally puts your name on your food. (For those willing to share, the middle letter could be an &.) Available in a gift box, the branding iron could also serve as a not-too-subtle gift for those friends that have a tendency to always grab the wrong grilled goodie.

***Update 9/28/24** Original link above no longer works, but here is a branding iron you can put “YOUR NAME HERE” on. Enjoy!

Napkin Dispenser Saves A Trip To The Fast-Food Joint

Stainless Napkin Dispenser

There can any number of excuses in order to justify a fast-food trip: accessibility, speed, price, napkins…. Wait. Napkins?

For the few people who frequent fast-food establishments to stock up on napkins, there is a better way. Without resorting to thievery, you too can mock up your kitchen to mimic your fave fast-food eatery. The Stainless Napkin Dispenser looks remarkably similar to one that may be found in any restaurant across the land. Spring-loaded and shiny, the familiar tabletop adornment dispenses napkins from either side. At a price of only about ten bucks, it’s reason enough to avoid the greasy burger shack.

Although, the salt and pepper shakers are not included, so maybe one more trip is in order…

Produce Fried Food Out Of Thin Air

Phillips AirFryer introduced at IFA 2010

Fat may equal flavor, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t another option. Rather than suffer through bland food or questionable fat-free products, take a dip in a little bit of oil. But how to get the most flavor out of the fat without adverse heath effects? With air, of course.

The Phillips AirFryer, introduced at IFA 2010, is an upcoming product designed to minimize fat while maximizing flavor. Able to create “delicious meals with up to 80% less fat”, the new kitchen appliance uses circulating air around an enclosed heating element to get the job done. When considered along with the T-fal Actifry, it’s beginning to look like low-fat fried food isn’t just a lot of hot air.
