How many oranges does it take to charge an iPhone?
Apparently, quite a few. To be a little more exact, about 2,380 orange slices…and a lot of patience. For you geeky foodies out there, this one hits the spot.
No more crouching in the kitchen – Cutting boards for tall people
I’m short. Really short. Not midget-short, but under 5 foot short. I simply don’t have this problem, and on the contrary, I have the opposite. I need step stools to reach things, I climb cabinets, and I have to use a cutting board on the table because it’s too awkward to try to cut on it on the cabinet.
So I can relate, but in an opposite way. Because of that, I think this is freakin’ awesome. How often do you even think about a countertop being too high or low? Most of us don’t even have it cross our minds, and the ones that do find things a little awkward, just deal with it without thought.
Now while it might not be that common for women to be so tall that they have to crouch that much to slice, dice, and chop things…..what about all those men out there, too, who tower over counters, too?
Such a simple tool for such a simple problem…..but I’ve never seen this cutting board for taller people before.
Pull string food chopper looks like a fun toy, but does it work?
Reminiscent of those pull-string toys that start waddling, running, vibrating, etc whenever you pull on their string, this food chopper uses the same concept. Pull the string away and the blades spin to chop whatever amazing food you put inside.
This video shows how it works:
I was actually more impressed by it before I saw the video, sadly enough.
The idea is awesome, but having the blades that direction instead of chopping up and down like many choppers, made me a little unsure of how well it’d work. Well, not so much how “well” it’d work because it’s going to get the job done….eventually. It just sorta seemed like in the video that it was taking longer to chop the nuts than it might’ve in another chopper.
And with other choppers, when the blades start to dull a little bit, they still work just fine, but how well is this going to after a while when the blades don’t have a hard surface to hit against and just spin instead?
I ‘do’ love the pull string bit (notice how the ring folds onto the base perfectly?). It reminds me very much of toys like this:
But without trying it myself, I just don’t know how well it’d work. I suppose if I really wanted to get a workout in the kitchen, I’d probably get my right arm rather buff after chopping lots at once.
