Your kitchen is starting to look a little dated… That fridge is a litte tired, your fixtures are a little too “Brady Bunch”. And why does your microwave run on an analog clock? Time for a major upgrade to the second-most important room in the house. Don’t worry, GearCrave’s got you covered. Check out our top 7 groundbreaking kitchen gadgets, starting after the break!
7. The Revolving Kitchen By Compact Concepts/CleverKitchen.com
This ingenious design is not just for small condos, it’s a way for you to expand your entertainment space in a standard-sized kitchen. Want to put a King Arthur-worthy table into your kitchen space? Want to indulge your desire to cook and entertain in the same spot? This is a fully-functional kitchen (range-type stove included) that rotates 180 degrees, offers a ton of hidden storage space, and is basically gorgeous to look at. Price? Gotta contact the company for a quote based on your choice of a wide variety of options and sizes.
6. The very smart LED battery-powered portable grill light lasts 50, 000 hours, and while it was originally marketed as an outdoor grilling tool, it’s also perfect for the stove or range, even lighting up a Foreman grill. You get the concetrated power of LED light exactly where you want it, and you can keep the rest of the dining lights low so you won’t spoil the atmos, as they say in the UK.

5. The TurboChef Double Oven is an ordinary convection oven on the bottom, and a blazing fast super-oven on top. The top compartment cooks food 15 times faster than the bottom compartment thanks to built-in Airspeed Technology. The hype for this claims you can get fresh asparagus in 45 seconds, a frozen pizza in 90 seconds, and a whole a rack of lamb in 4 minutes. What about a Thanksgiving turkey? An amazing42 minutes, with what the TurboChef site calls “five-star quality results.” Amazing.
4. The Carlsberg Draughtmaster is the solution for the Kitchen 2.0 beer problem. It handles standard five liter keg (UK designed, don’t you know) and gives you a perfect pub pour every time. This is easy to clean and looks great in any contemporary kitchen. Believe it or not, it took a Danish design team SEVEN YEARS to arrive at the technology to make this happen. The price is very nice considering that little nugget of information.

3. The Remote Thermometer really kicks ass in the kitchen with its LCD screen, remote wireless probe, and five languages to let you know when that meat is ready for the next step in the cooking process. The sensor’s temperature range goes from 32°F to 572°F, and it’s programmable for a wide range of entrees; beef, lamb, veal, hamburger, pork, turkey, chicken, and fish. With this gadget, the only time you’ll get a piece of blackened meat is when you’re making it Cajun-style.
2. Samsung RH269LB Fridge Features Wireless ICE Pad
Top of the line design and state of the art cooling technology meet wireless entertainment. Ice maker, water dispenser, wireless connectivity to any compatible device. . .how can you go wrong? LCD Pad can get a signal from a Samsung-supplied transmitter you connect to your home entertainment system, and you get additional video inputs for DVD and other signals. The hype for this unit says it can hold over 700 liters of anything at all. Beer, wine, steak, ham, light sweet crude oil, whatever. Available for about $3000.
1. We saved the coolest for last: Crestron Control Surfaces are not just limited to controlling kitchen lighting, climate, and exterior lights. You can use the handy controller pictured here to play music, run a home theatre, close the shutters, open the swimming pool, anything that can be tied into the central interface can be controlled from one of these controllers. You can have several control panels placed all through the house for beyond-the-kitchen control of the entire place. This is the automated home our grandparents fantasized about in the 50s, now here and ready to be custom installed by a team of experts waiting for your call.
Kitchen design is definitely light years away from where it used to be, thanks to innovations in style and substance like these. If the trends keep moving in the right directions, it’s only a matter of time until all of this is supplemented by a robotic maid and an android dog that doesn’t need a morning walk. Here’s to the future.
