And thus every time we leave the restaurant, we have paper bags of left over food with us.

Now the problem is if you do not have a microwave, you cannot reheat the food. So eventually the food is found in the garbage the next day. It’s like the old cartoon where the guy is stranded on a deserted island and finds a crate of canned food, but doesn’t have a can opener. Thanks to USB powered lunchbox by Thanko, now you need not throw away the food!

SAFETY IS THE PRIORITY

monoxide Today’s world is full of calamities being it natural or man made. We have riots, terrorist attacks, tsunami, earthquake and many such life taking activities happening around us. But there are some precautions that we can take and avoid a calamity happening to us and our family. Though we never know what might just happen to us at another moment in life. But that cannot be used as an excuse to not take precautionary actions. Many of such calamities are caused because of the same technology which is invented to make our lives simpler and easier and more importantly safe. But one need not worry if there are companies who are just interested in making high end gadgets, there are companies who are interested in making such gadgets that help save peoples life. And one such company is Npower. It has come up with this all new carbon monoxide alarm.

I am so sure you all will be puzzled as to what is this alarm all about. You might even think that may be it wakes you by emitting some sort of gas. Imagine you wake up early because your alarm instead of making some noise made some foul smell. Well my imagination is running too wild and before yours too runs in a weird direction let me tell you what it is. It is an alarm that will make noise if carbon monoxide is present in your house. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no taste, no color and no smell. It is generated when any fossil fuel like coal, wood or natural gas is burned and the air supply is insufficient. It can enter your house if any appliance is not properly installed or serviced.

If you are a very cautious person and would be servicing your appliances on a regular basis you would be wondering if you need such an alarm or no. my answer to this would be yes. Everyone should have one as technology can fail anytime and thus we shouldn’t be taking a chance. U.K has already faced 50 deaths, 102 incidents and 218 injuries due to carbon monoxide poisoning between January 2006 and April 2007. After knowing this wont you want to secure your future from carbon monoxide poison.

Well at least I would want to avoid this. . It is even cheap and available for only £21.50. I think it is too less a price for safety. So go ahead buy this alarm and be sure of no calamity due to carbon monoxide

Transparent Toaster

clip_image002

Early morning when your alarm rings and you realize all the daily chores that you have to finish, your head starts spinning. But somehow you gather courage and enter the kitchen. And look who’s waiting for you the monster toaster which always ends up giving you burnt toasts. And you can’t do much about it because either you are late to office or the second attempt is not worth. But now you don’t have to fear, because Inventables Concept studio has come out with transparent Toaster which will solve your problem and give you golden brown crispy toasts.

The idea is based on transparent heating glass technology and the idea is that the glass heats up enough to toast the bread. So the next time you can check for yourself how the bread is toasted and hit the button when it turns perfect colour.

This brilliant innovation will surely put an end to burnt toasts and toasts which cannot be put under any category. A traditional dial is incorporated in the design for those who do not have time to look at the bread every time.

The negative aspect of this device currently is that it can fit only one piece of bread at a time. But I hope they will surely bring in some modification to make our life easier.

So no burnt toasts, no morning blues. Thanks to Transparent Toaster!!!
