If you haven't seen your kitchen counters in years because they're covered in a slew of tiny appliances all designed to cook one thing, Jamie Oliver wants to help. Well, technically he wants to make money, but he's also teamed up with Philips to create the HomeCooker which can stir, sauté, simmer, melt, steam, stew, boil, and fry all in one machine without any supervision.

Minmising the risk of burning your fingers on piping hot toast, Arzum's new Firrin features a slide-out tray instead of the more traditional pop-up design used on most toasters. The tray allows you to stop the toasting process almost instantly when it's completely removed, and it looks a lot more efficient at collecting bread crumbs for easy disposal. Read More >>
Your washing machine is kind enough to handle your laundry without complaining. For that it deserves respect. Aussie50 has no such respect. Watch his poor washer tear itself asunder, powerless to prevent spectacular self-destruction at the hands of its own spin cycle. Watch as it tries to escape through sheer force of centrifugal will. Watch it fail. Read More >>
It looks like KitchenAid has finally learned a trick from sportscar manufacturers like Ferrari, and even Iron Man.

Idea International's new Aero Sphere isn't quite poised to shake up the fan industry like Dyson's bladeless offering did. But it still manages to stand out in a boring and crowded market with a spherical teardrop honeycomb design that's as functional as it is eye candy. Read More >>
Samsung deputed a ridiculous fridge with Evernote that no one needs at CES this year. We can all agree that's totally silly. Here's something awesome from Samsung you actually might want—a fridge with a built-in SodaStream. Read More >>
At some point over the past year appliance makers began a design war to see who could come up with the most innovative and original range hood designs. And with its new retractable Pareo hood, Italy's Faber has just made a strong push towards victory and bringing an end to that war of aesthetics. Read More >>
For some reason washing machine ads are still stuck in the 1950s. They mainly feature scenarios targeting the suburban housewife who's struggling to juggle the responsibilities of a busy household: an approach that's as non-inclusive as it is insulting. So Samsung, we applaud you for thinking outside the box with this brilliant ad for your EcoBubble machines. If we're ever in the market for a major appliance, we'll definitely possibly think about maybe considering your offerings. [YouTube via Cabbie Richards] Read More >>

At last year's CES, Haier showed off a transparent TV, which never took off for the obvious reason that nobody needs or wants a transparent TV. Today, a great leap forward: a neon, see-through washing machine. This is. The. Future. Read More >>
Eating in the 1950s probably sucked in terms of convenience. No internet, meaning no Seamless Web. But the style was rad—and you can harness that aspect in your own kitchen with Servis's new retro fridges. Read More >>
