Hasta La Ideas

We read a lot of sites (or at least their RSS-feeds) that cover fun and practical and unique and crazy gadgets, ideas and inventions. One of those sites is The Gadgeteer, where we found this new taster’s tool. One end has a fork to pick up solid food, the other a small spoon to taste sauces or soups. It also sports a small hook to pick up pasta to see if it’s al dente like it should. We usually test pasta by throwing a strand against the tiled kitchen backdrop (if it slides, it’s not done, if it stays, it’s just right). This little invention is of course much more elegant than our crude ways, but it’s also a lot more expensive. It’s a whopping USD 32:- plus shipping, and while we would never buy one at that price, we still like the idea. Design by Carl Mertens.brbr
