There are many people who think that cooking is not only a science, but also an art. I could always disagree on such a statement, as I just can’t find anything scientific or artistic in preparing elaborate dinners or even a simple breakfast. I like to eat, but the process before this is way beyond my comprehension: specific ingredients, in measured amounts, blended in a specific order and under specific conditions.
But help is coming for the not-so-perfect cooks amongst us, and also for those around us who are frequently subjected to burnt or undercooked food. Because, so that you know, there are many aspects you should always take into consideration when you find your way to the kitchen. Heat, of course, is one of those things. Too much heat can turn your golden Maillard caramelization into Fullerene carbon. Too little, on the other hand, makes water cook away before any chemical reactions can take place. A few degrees off one way or another can make the difference. And if you’ve got the courage to try more than one recipe in your life, I’m sure you know that many tell you to “put a pan on medium heat”. But you have never known what medium heat means.
Lucky you, with the new Digital Thermometer Pan, even the worst cook can now do his job with absolute precision. The secret of this device is a thermometer reading the temperature in the pan and a readout system in the handle; a removable readout in the handle, that is, so that the Digital Thermometer Pan could be also dishwasher safe. In other words, the pan has a built-in thermometer that measures the temperature at the center of the pan and displays the result (in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius) on the readout encased rather sweetly at the tip of the handle.
Even more, this pan will allow you to mark down several “presets” so next time you’ll be cooking the same recipe you’ll have the most precise data to rely on. The Digital Thermometer Pan can be safely used with any heating systems, such as gas, electric, halogen or induction, while its thick steel bottom guarantees an even heat distribution across its whole surface. The pan has a 20 cm diameter and Dupont-nonstick covering.
You can pick up the Digital Thermometer Pan over at ThinkGeek.com
and it costs $49.99.

Everyone is talking about the economic crisis several countries are going through for some time now. People are concerned about their future and financial stability and they’re more cautious about their savings as never before. In the given context, “ Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced a limited edition 18-carat solid gold USB drive that comes with a serialized Certificate of Authenticity” (Note: today refers to October 28, 2008).
I don’t know about you, but I expect something spectacular from this company, if they want me to buy such a thing. Not only the features, but also the advertising campaign should blow me away, in order to make me consider the device instead of spending my money on a fabulous week in Ibiza, for example.
The limited edition drive from Super Talent Technology is a member of the Pico-C line, which is water resistant and supports transfer speeds up to 30MBps. The Pico-C has become the hallmark of style and quality in USB drives and is prized for its beautiful design and incredibly small size.
Now, for a limited time only, Super Talent makes us an offer that we can’t refuse (is it?): an 8 GB custom-made 18-carat solid gold Pico-C drive that includes: serialized Certificate of Authenticity, 18-carat gold keychain, FIPS certified AES-256 Encryption software, your text or logo laser etch onto the drive at no change and a black velvet jewelry box.
This rare collector’s item makes an eloquent corporate gift and is available only on a preorder basis for a limited time, with three to four weeks lead time. And it will only cost you $599. Isn’t this what you could easily call a lucky bargain?
