Sit that Lid Down

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in the kitchen cooking over numerous pots and pans trying to remove lids, find a place to lay them down and making more of a mess than intended all while burning my fingers from the steam. We’ve all been there and have all found a way to just try and make it work.

Well fear no more, no more messy counter space, no more burned fingers, because now we have the LidSitter. The name says it all. The LidSitters awesomely unique design works with virtually all pots and pans and allows you to place lids, and other cooking utensils on the rims of pots and pans when not needed.

The LidSitter is made of a stainless steel wire-form and a nylon handle. Both materials are safe for both electric and gas stoves. Its even dishwasher safe! The spring style form allows for easy attachment to the top of the lid while securely holding it in place, you simply attach the LidSitter to the top and rest it on the side of the pan. All water, heat and stem is released back into the pan and away from counter space – so no more messy cleanup.

The LidSitter not only works with your pots and pans, but it can also hold your iPad, tablets or even cookbooks when not in use. Available in Black, Blue, Red and Yellow, you can even purchase your own amazing LidSitter too. I can’t wait to try this out myself.

Does Camera Size Matter?

At a recent event I was up in arms, struggling with my DSLR in an awkward stance, trying to capture the best shots for the day. In walked my friend with an adept digital camera and took some amazing photographs (if not better), and he didn’t even have to struggle with his equipment. So the question is, does high-tech photography equipment have to be bulky and difficult to manage? The IO Camera Concept says no!

The IO Camera Concept shows that the large-format camera can be built seductively ergonomic. The multi-format digital camera platform can achieve 35mm format convenience and quality. It supports large-format (up to 90 x 120 millimeters or even more) digital sensors. With its flexible changeable bayonet, it supports the majority of contemporary middle- and large-format lenses.

Features:

IO feels comfortable in your hands, is great to take along for point-and-shoot photography, and its supporting capabilities of tilt-shift techniques (when using an external tripod and flex) are convenient to use.

The concept is to redesign and give a new face to the typical large-format camera and counteract the stereotype that large-format cameras are always big, heavy, and could even have a wooden body. The goal is the creation of a light and elegant camera with a sensitive touchscreen, without forgoing the large-format sensor. This modern technology would give you the opportunity to get extra high-resolution images, a shallow depth of field, as well as dynamic perspective control (tilt-shift).

  • The changeable bayonet construction allows any kind of lens from any system available on the market.
  • Its AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) shutter is installed in the camera body, so you can use shutterless lenses (from focal plane shutter systems).
  • It is absolutely soundless and lightweight.
  • The sensor cooling system is important for mirrorless cameras (as the sensor is working permanently).
  • The symmetrical handle grips allow good ergonomics, for right- and left-handed people.
  • The large, sensitive touchscreen allows you good operation and control. You don’t need a laptop to see the details anymore.

The IO Camera Concept is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.
