Unitasker Wednesday: Microwavable S’Mores Maker

Summertime is the right time to sit around a campfire and eat S’mores. I’m not a huge fan, I’m quite happy with a solitary marshmallow, but now you S’mores fans can have them regardless if you are near a campfire or not. The Progressive International Microwavable S’Mores Maker lets you enjoy a S’more whenever the mood strikes you. What more can you ask for? S’mores on demand is quite the incredible luxury. Forget summer cookouts, enjoy these bad boys in January! From the product description:

It is easy to make smores at home using the Microwave S’mores Maker from Progressive. Just fill the base with water, stack your smores, lower the arms, and microwave for approximately 30 seconds. The graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate will heat quickly and evenly while the arms hold everything in place. It’s great fun for kids and adults alike.

Have any of you ever put marshmallows in the microwave for 30 seconds and then tried to eat them? If you have, then you know that if you wait more than a minute for them to cool, they turn into rocks. Yummy, teeth-breaking, sugar rocks. Enjoy!

(Thanks to reader Christine for sending us this suggestion.)

Unitasker Wednesday: Personal microwave

Personal MicrowaveI never thought Sharper Image supplied consumers with practical goods until I came across the iwavecube Personal Microwave. Yes, it is about time we all had our own personal microwaves to carry with us. From Sharper Image:

How incredibly convenient — a personal, portable microwave! Forget all those trips to the kitchen or treks to the cafeteria — now you can reheat coffee right at your desk; or nuke some soup for your brown-bag lunch; or pop some `corn in the entertainment room.

While other suckers are walking all the way to the kitchen to nuke their soup in the microwave, you can hang out in your entertainment room while your soup gets nuked right next to your couch. Add this thing to a mini-fridge and you may never need to venture off to your kitchen again. More from Shaper Image:

Plug it in anyplace that’s handy — work or home office; home gym; family room; nursery; wet bar; dorm room; work bench; pool house, everywhere! The quiet, super-energy-efficient iwavecube measures just 10″ x 10.5″ x 12″ and weighs only 12 lbs. Features a built-in carry handle and view-through door.

The next time I’m rocking my daughter to sleep in the nursery, it will be great to have corn popping right next to us. That will certainly help her nod off to dream land. Less walking and more popping in 2008!
