From the makers of the ingenious Citrus Spray comes the CheeseMaker which finally makes it possible to make fresh, homemade cheese from the comfort of your kitchen! All you need is milk and an acid like lemon or vinegar. Depending on the acid you use, the cheese will have varying textures and flavors. Simply add the ingredients and any other flavorings to the mixer and within minutes you’ll have the perfect cheese to add to any salad, protein or pasta!

I like sandwiches with crunchy and toasty bread. Take a nice grilled cheese for instance, it’s great when the bread is crispy and the cheese is hot, but wait a few minutes and you end up with a soggy coagulated mess of bread and cheese. This is a big concern for a California restaurant chain called The Melt, who specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches.
You can imagine how challenging it is to deliver grilled cheese sandwiches that don’t suck. To solve this issue, The Melt decided to invent its own delivery system to keep the sandwiches warm and crunchy. The solution is called the Smart Box. It was invented by The Melt founder, and former Flip camera founder, Jonathan Kaplan.
He created a box for the sandwiches with holes for airflow and an outer box that has microprocessor controlled heating elements and fans. That tech ensures the proper moisture in the air and heat for delivering a perfect sandwich within a range of 30 minutes from the grill. Now if only they’d deliver outside of California.

Say cheese! You can’t take pictures with the Polaroid Cheese Slicer (obviously!) but you will be able to slice cheese quickly and easily by just moving it back and forth on a block of cheese. The result? Instant cheese slices minus the mess, the knives, and the hassle. The cheese slices are perfect for sandwiches and burgers, and you can slice them further–with a knife, this time–into sticks to use for toppings or for cheese sticks. Yum!
The fact that it looks like a vintage Polaroid is an added bonus.
The Polaroid Cheese Slicer is available for $10.

Point this “Polaroid” (you’ll get why there are quotation marks later) at someone and tell them to say “cheese.” Chances are, they’ll grin and wait expectantly for the flash to go off…
…however, that’s not what will happen with this particular one, because you’ll only get a slice of cheese instead. It’s actually a cheese slicer in the form of a vintage Polaroid instant camera, and how it slices and delivers the cheese is all sorts of awesome. You just move it across a block of cheese and voila – instant cheese slices! I don’t recommend trying this with an actual Polaroid camera.
The Say Cheese Instant Cheese Slicer is available from GamaGo for $10(USD) – at least until Polaroid’s lawyers see it.
