Mini Waffles Abound!

Sunbeam CKSBWFMW3 Mini Waffle Maker

Some foods need to be made in batches. Waffles and pancakes fall into this category. And this goes double (or quadruple) when mini waffles are concerned. The Sunbeam CKSBWFMW3 Mini Waffle Maker is a specialty appliance that produces eight mini waffles per batch. While specialty appliances tend to take up more room than they are worth, waffle makers are worth a look, considering that waffles aren’t exactly easy to make in the oven. (And no, Eggo’s don’t count.) The mini waffle maker, not surprisingly, has a mini price to match–and you don’t even have to buy a whole batch to get the deal.

The Hamilton Beach Fastpop 10 Minute Ice Pop Instant Frozen Popsicle Maker apparently works just like a Zoku Quick Pop Maker, but at half the price. Are the frozen pops it produces just as good? Only time will tell. About ten minutes time, that is.

* Control ingredients used, ideal for sensitive tummies or allergy-prone kids

Lego Mold Is A Good Thing–Sort Of

Building Blocks Chocolate Candy Mold - Perfect for Lego Party by CybrTrayd

This Lego mold, err, Building Blocks Chocolate Candy Mold, would make for a fun activity with the kids. It might not promote healthy eating, but at least they’ll be learning something while they’re at it. (As long as they don’t try to stack the blocks–these appear to be one-sided molds!)

PlateTopper Food Protector (And Storage)

Kickstarter project, PlateTopper, by Michael Tseng.

Nobody likes to mess around with leftovers; once dinner is done, the food needs to go away. The PlateTopper by Michael Tseng would agree. Not only would it be useful to quickly and efficiently cover a plate full of leftovers for storage, but it would also keep any pesky critters that may be in your house from stealing food off the plate when you get up to get a refill.

It’s not a reality yet, but head on over to the Kickstarter page to see how you can help it along.
