Brava’s Smart Oven cooks your food ultra quick with pure light

The days of nuking your food in a microwave are numbered if the Smart Oven from Brava takes off. The Smart Oven is a small table top cooking appliance that uses panels of infrared lights to cook food twice as fast as a conventional oven at the press of a button and without any preheating because it can heat to 500°F in under a second. The Brava Smart Oven is best at cooking meats and vegetables with no fat needed and at the same time without overcooking or undercooking either one. And guess what? It can even make toast!

This oven has a ton of tech features that are designed to make your meals turn out perfect every time. It has a built-in temperature probe so there’s no worry of overcooking your steak and it even has a built-in camera that lets you see the food inside the oven as it cooks. It uses the camera to make sure the food is cooked perfectly by comparing live images to a neural network of other images to look at the coloration and texture on the surface of the food. The Brava Smart Oven is available for pre-order starting at $995. Visit Brava for more info.

Use the Force to make your own lightsaber knitting needles

NEWS – I’m currently learning to knit, and just like with every interest I have, I need to find as many accessories as I possibly can.  While searching for knitting accessories, I discovered plans for making a pair of lighted knitting needles that look like miniature lightsabers on the Instructables website.  You start with Lucite rods and pocket-sized LED flashlights.  You’ll need to have some soldering skills, because you’ll need to replace the white LED in the flashlight with a colored LED.  The photo above shows the finished pair of knitting needles.

If you want to take a different approach, you could use these lighted knitting needles as a starting point for your lightsabers.  The NeedleLite shop on Etsy offers lighted needles in different lengths and diameters for $34.95.

NeedleLite also has 12″ lighted conductor batons for $29.95.  The batons already have a small handle attached that you could use as a starting point for the lightsaber grip.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any further instructions for you.  Go forth, Padawan, and craft your own weapon!

The Paw Plunger makes it easy to keep your best friends paws clean

NEWS – If you’re a dog owner like me, then you’ve probably come across this problem. How do I clean my dog’s paws? Things like mud, road salt, and lawn chemicals can be hard to clean off your dog’s tender paws. Even harder to do if your dog fusses (like mine) while you’re trying to clean them. Paw Plunger to the rescue.

The Paw Plunger quickly and easily cleans your dog’s paws. The large plastic bucket looks like an oversized coffee mug. Inside the Paw Plunger, there are paw-friendly bristles that brush your dog’s paws and nails clean.

And it’s easy to use. Just fill it with warm water, place a paw inside, then plunge gently. Afterward, wipe fido’s paws dry with a towel.

After use, dispose of dirty water. Rinse with warm water and air dry.

And the spill-proof lid means you can bring it along with you in the car on your next trip to the park.

The Paw Plunger comes in three sizes, petite for dogs up to 15lbs ($14.99), medium for dogs up to 75lbs ($19.99) and large for dogs over 75lbs ($24.99).

The Paw Plunger is available on Amazon.

Protect yourself and your animals against tick-borne illness with the TickEase tick remover

NEWS – Well, that title just said it all, didn’t it?  The TickEase Tick Removal Tool was created by Dan Wolff, also known as Tick Man Dan.  He’s a tick-prevention specialist who has been bitten over 200 times and who has been educating people about tick removal and prevention for more than 20 years.  He’s now applied his expertise to designing a tick-removal tool that complies with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s tick-removal guidelines, which advocate using a fine-tipped tool.

The TickEase tool is made of stainless steel.  One end has a thin, sharp-tipped set of tweezers for removing small ticks.

The other end is a slotted scoop for removing larger, engorged ticks.  You’ll also receive a magnifier and tick-testing instructions with the tool.

The TickEase Tick Removal Tool is $9.99 from The Grommet.

PlanetBox is the eco-friendly lunchbox for kids or adults

NEWS – Just like with most reusable lunch kits, taking your lunch from home will be more eco-friendly.  You will reduce waste because you won’t need plastic bags, waxed paper, or aluminum foil to package up your lunch.  You don’t have to worry if the PlanetBox lunchbox is food-safe and BPA-free.  PlanetBox says they take “non-toxic, non-leaching, safe from BPA, phthalates, and lead” very seriously.  Their lunch kit isn’t made of plastic – it’s made of high-quality stainless steel that’s warranted for 5 years.

PlanetBox lunchboxes have been thoughtfully designed after years of studying how people use lunchboxes.  They have compartments of various sizes to hold sandwiches or an entree, veggies, chips, fruit, and even some tiny compartments for dressings or even a small dessert.  The size of the compartments can guide you to pack sensible portions.  The lunch kits are dishwasher safe, and unlike plastic containers, the stainless steel doesn’t stain or hold on to odors.

The boxes are available in three sizes, so just like Goldilocks, you’ll be able to find a PlanetBox that’s just right for the way you pack lunch for your kids or yourself.  The Shuttle (small, center) holds 3.5 cups of food and is $39.95; the medium-sized Rover (left) holds 5 cups of food and is $55.95; and the large Rover (right) holds 7 cups of food and is $59.95.  You can purchase magnet kits to personalize the kits with designs from dinosaurs to galaxies, or you can have custom-printed magnets made for a truly unique kit.

PlanetBoxes are available alone or as part of kit with magnets, a carrying bag, and a drink bottle.  Other accessories, like cutlery sets, napkins, and snack containers, are also available.  Shop PlanetBox for your own eco-friendly lunchbox and accessories.  Also check out the meal planning ideas while you’re at the PlanetBox website.
