Bodum Bistro Flatbed Toaster
By Andrew Liszewski
It looks like Bodum’s unofficial mission to give every kitchen a colorful makeover continues with their Bistro Flatbed Toaster. Like the company’s conventional toasters this model is available in 8 different stylish colors, but unlike their conventional toasters there’s no slots on this one, just a stainless steel flatbed cooktop that uses a 700-watt heating element to toast slot-unfriendly items like croissants, baguettes and leftover pizza slices.
There’s a simple dial allowing you to specify the level of browning, and when not in use the Flatbed Toaster can be stored on its side, freeing up counter space. They appear to be available on the Bodum UK site for about $98 after currency conversion, but it looks like Hammacher sells them as well for $89.95.

High Tech Cake Plate Almost Makes Up for Not Loving Your Own Child [Kitchen]
Let’s not dwell on the past. Things happened as they happened, you have a kid and you don’t want to sing the damned Happy Birthday song yet another year. Boy oh boy do we have the cake plate for you.
With the push of a button, the Musical Cake (and pizza) Tray will play Happy Birthday (so you can sit in awkward silence while the plate does your job for you). But what’s just as handy is that a series of LEDs illuminate around the cake’s perimeter, signaling where the 12 slices should go.
Wait a second…there are supposed to be 12 slices in a cake? I thought you just cut the thing into 4 slices. You know, like pie. [Deni via GadgetGrid via OhGizmo!]

Two Headed Faucet and Filter
You’ve seen them, those giant honking water filter additions for your sink. The ones that look like a big egg at the end of your elegant faucet head. Well those days are over! Here is something lovely and new. Two faucet heads, one faucet. And best yet, there’s a new filter involved too – the “carbon block” – eliminating odors, residues, and chlorine. Will it pass your interior design fashion test?
Are two heads better than one? This filter system is certified by Inmetro (Brazilian National Institute of Metrology, Normalization and Industrial Quality) – makes it seem pretty legit, yes?
Let me tell you here: a faucet head can make or break a room. A nice lady I know who goes by the name “Mom” recently purchased a new faucet head for her bathroom. It’s looking pretty modern like the one we’re speaking about here. It changed her life. In the bathroom.
Faucet on!
