utensil

Give your iPhone a unique resting place by inserting it into the waiting hands of this silverware man made from bent forks and spoons. You can choose from the iFork or iSpoon as well as a wide variety of other silverware people who will pose for you or hold your phones and business cards. No doubt this concept came from a student of Uri Geller.

My first question about this product was whether the toggling fingers would put too much pressure on your precious chip, and strangely enough the answer came when I watched the video above and could clearly make out the words “No Broken” before morphing back into a language I don’t understand.

So now you will have the Potechi Bionic Grabber, a bionic Japanese hand that can be used to conveniently feed yourself potato chips while preventing grease prints from infecting everything you touch; at least until you get to that huge pocket of crumbs at the bottom of the bag.

Wooden Spoon PencilNeed to take down some notes while you’re whipping up that pasta sauce? This wooden spoon pencil makes it possible with one utensil. However, without a drip guard and with the constant threat of having to move closer and closer to a boiling pot after each sharpening, you might as well rename your mitt “Indi-hand-a Jones” and brace yourself for a non-stop thrill ride as he tries to escape dinner preparation without getting burned.

fork knife spoon hooks

In order to prove that silverware can do more than stab, scoop and cut food, the utensil trio of forks, spoons and knives are on a quest to expand their resume and legendary status by taking on other jobs around the kitchen. First up:  wall hooks. Sounds like a long shot, but I’d still give this better odds than Paris Hilton or Ashlee Simpson becoming legitimate “singers”.

Light Bites

Birthday coming up? Light Bites offer a fork/candle holder combo which allows instant cake access without having to search for silverware, saving you those precious seconds between when the blowing ends and the eating begins (there’s my innuendo for the day). However, there’s still the obligatory waiting period while the candles burn and people sing and take pictures, which will no doubt result in you having to eat waxy cake with a hot, waxy utensil… Delish!
