Brian measuring jug deciphers the ancient language of “recipes”

It’s the cold, hard truth: You either know how to cook or you don’t. For those in the latter camp, that realization is a tough pill to swallow, especially because it’s hard to make anything edible to swallow it with.

patent-claimedThe biggest problem with most non-cooks is their ignorance of ratios and measurements. Cooking is a science, after all, and the right proportion of ingredients makes all the difference. La Fabrique à Innovations helps kitchen kiddies take all the guesswork out of this particular piddle with Brian, a three-liter mixing bowl with a built-in slot for colorful recipe rulers. Each recipe ruler not only lists the ingredients necessary for a recipe but also the amount of each ingredient needed, making the process of cooking no more difficult than pouring water in a cup. .

OneBowl creates pasta meals with less noodling around

OneBowlFor those crazy days (or nights) when even microwaving pasta is too much of a hassle, OneBowl offers the solution of cooking, straining and even eating all in one bowl. The dishwasher-safe kitchen helper has a built in strainer, so when the nuking process is done, all that’s necessary is to twist, let it drain, top with one’s choice of seasonings, and eat. Although, a built-in cooling mechanism might be nice so that tongues don’t get burned. And perhaps also some type of built in auto-feed so that utensils and self-feeding aren’t necessary. For $16, early bird backers get one product, with an expected delivery of August 2014.
