This adorable Toucan-shaped kitchen-tool helps you core and spiralize apples!





I wouldn’t be surprised if the idea for Toco came from a Flintstones episode! I mean, that family had a bird for everything… phone calls, record playing, typewriting, even alarm clocks! Toco, however, is more of a kitchen helper. Modeled on the shape and design of a toucan bird (remember Rafael from the movie Rio?), Toco actually helps core and spiralize an apple, turning it from a fruit into a fun spiral you can eat!

Made from plastic (so it’s relatively safe around kids), Toco’s beak comes with a circular element at its tip that pierces into the fruit’s core, while the beak itself has a sharp-ish edge that cuts through the fruit’s flesh. Toco’s eye-hole serves as a finger-rest too, giving you the leverage you need to easily cut through the fruit. A few twists later, you’ve got yourself an apple that’s core-less and ready to eat, bake, or decorate your smoothie bowl with! Toco works with all kinds of apples and a bunch of pears too!

This Spaghetti-inspired spoon brilliantly re-imagines the pasta shape with functionality!

The various shapes of pasta we see today were all influenced directly by their region and the ingredients used in the pastas. Some pasta shapes were made hollow to hold sauce within them, some were created in the noodle format so as to be coated in the sauces. The shape of pasta is perhaps one of the best examples of form following function, and the guys at Monkey Business pushed the boundaries to give the pasta form some more functions! Meet the Spaghetti Spoon, created as a part of Monkey Business’s Pasta Series that envisions popular pasta shapes as kitchen tools. The Spaghetti Spoon, as its name suggests, is a spoon that’s designed to resemble strands of al-dente spaghetti. Created from heat-resistant plastic, the spoon’s uniquely appetizing shape is perfect for scooping and transferring any sort of noodle-based pasta between saucepans or serving plates. Just don’t try biting into it!
