A treetop house with a rooftop design

Posted on by

treetop_cabin_1

Designed to tickle your childlike fancy, the Treetop Cabin models itself on the concept of a treehouse, and the stylings of a triangular prefab. Designed with an A-shaped roof that travels downwards to become the wall, the house would, at first appearance, look small, but climb up the spiral staircase and into it, and you realize exactly how cozy and comfortable it is.

With two floors, the PAN Treetop Cabin gives you a living room, kitchen, and a bathroom on the lower level, and a comfy bedroom on the top. With glass facades on two sides, you get an aerial view of the forest and if strategically placed, a view of both the sunrise and sunset. The elevated design allows the cabin to be non-intrusive, giving freedom to the animals below to move around freely, while the four stilts below the cabin come with braided steel cable reinforcements, to keep the treehouse secure and upright, giving you an elevated, and magnificent view of the Norwegian forests of Finnskogen.

Designer: Espen Surnevik, Finn-Erik Nilsen.

Frywall Keeps Bacon Grease Where It Belongs

Posted on by

This is one of those gadgets that is such a simple idea, you wonder why you never thought of it yourself. When you fry stuff in the pan, you’re going to get oil splatters all over the place, it’s just a fact of life. Whether you’re cooking chicken, pork chops, or bacon, grease is going to get on your stove top and kitchen walls. But not with the Frywall.

It is basically a silicone cone for your pan that catches the grease so it won’t go all over the place. It can withstand heat up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Just put it on the inside of your pan, and it will do its job.

It comes in two sizes: one for the 10-inch pans and another for 12-inch pans. The 10-inch pan version measures 15 inches in diameter and the other, an even larger 17 inches, and folds down nice and small when not in use. The small version sells for $21.95(USD), and the large one is $28.95. Both are available from The Grommet.

Dragon Cake Pan: Game of Birthdays

Posted on by

If you need something to be the centerpiece of your next Game of Thrones viewing party, this could help. This cake pan makes a cake that looks like a dragon coiled around three eggs.

I think this would be the most difficult cake to frost in the history of cakes. Any frosting on it would hide all the awesome dragon details. I wouldn’t use it for cake at all. I would totally make cornbread in it to have with my dragon breath flaming hot chili. That would be so awesome.

The cake pan holds about eight cups of batter, which means you will need two boxes if you are making cake. I’d bet it needs a few packages of cornbread mix too. The pan measures 10.5″ x 4″ tall and sells for $24.99(USD) at ThinkGeek. Pair this with that D20 cake pan and you could have an epic Dungeons & Dragons party.

D20 Critical Hit Mini Cake Pan Makes 20-sided Dice Cakes of Awesomeness

Posted on by

I admit that I get a bigger thrill out of kitchen gadgets than I probably should. I have all of them, waffle makers, donut makers, and weird things I don’t know how to use but they look cool. If you like kitchen oddities and Dungeons & Dragons, you might want to get your hands on the D20 Critical Hit Mini Cupcake Pan.

The pan only makes four cupcakes, but each of them are awesome. They will be a bit messy since you have to frost all sides. Each mold makes a 3-inch cake. The pan is also oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe. That means you could also make D20 ice pops in the summer or giant D20 ice cubes. Each pan costs $12.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.

I hear if you roll anything over 15, your character gets diabetes.

Straight From Chopping Board To The Fire

Posted on by

The Curling Pan is one heck of an innovation! Just imagine popping the cutting board onto the fire and get cooking right away! This means that the board is the pan. Crafted from shape-memory alloy, it transforms from a flat cutting board to a frying pan when it comes in contact with heat. The edges start to curl up after a certain temperature. This is because of the nature of the material with which it is made from: shape-memory alloy with a two-way memory effect. The material takes one particular shape when it is cool (flat board), and another when it is heated (frying pan). As it heats up the color of the pan changes from white to yellow to red.

Curling Pan is 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

Designers: Lee Jee Won & Lee Juan

Nibble Pan: Sample Baked Goodies without Ruining Them

Posted on by

Personally, I find baking cakes infinitely harder than cooking savories because you can’t really cheat when it comes to the former. By “cheat,” I mean correct mistakes you made along the way. For example, when you’re cooking and you find it’s too bland, then you can just add salt and pepper to taste. You can’t do the same when it comes to baking, because once that tray is in the oven, then all you can do is wait.

Another thing is that you won’t know how your cake will turn out until it’s served, because you can’t exactly cut out a piece to try it before anyone else can get a slice of their own. This is where Nibble Pan offers you a bit of help.

While it won’t let you “fix” bad batches of baked stuff, it will let you know if you whipped up an “off” cake by letting you try it before anyone else does – or let you sneak a bite instead of impatiently digging into the main cake. The Nibble Pan comes with an extra slot on the side, where you can pour a bit of your extra batter to make a cupcake version of your cake. How’s that for baking innovation?

Keep in mind that the smaller baked goodie will probably cook quicker than the main section of the pan, so you’ll want to snag your personal snack-size cake early.

The Nibble Pan retails for about $21.99(USD) over at Quirky.
