Star Wars Cutlery

new star wars cutleryWell, the big movie is coming up soon and it’s all things Star Wars all the time. And a great gift for the foodie Star Wars fan in your family is the Star Wars Cutlery from ThinkGeek.

This fun flatware set includes a Luke fork, Yoda spoon, and Vader knife. How are they named? They are replicas of the handles of the lightsaber that each character uses in the films.

Now be warned that they don’t light up like lightsabers and they are definitely not dish-washer safe. They are made of stainless steel and food-grade ABS plastic.

Christmas Cutlery by Nikko

Nikko Christmas FlatwareI just yelled at the TV last night for already showing Christmas commercials, but to be honest it was a good reminder to start planning and ordering for the Xmas season. Leaving things to the last second isn’t the greatest idea.

So if you are looking to plan out the flatware for the Christmas dinner dining room table then this Christmas Cutlery by Nikko might be what you are looking for. This set provides a complete service for four, with four each teaspoons, soup spoons, serrated table knives, dinner forks and salad forks. This cutlery is made of 18/10 stainless steel and a white resin handle.

It matches up with Nikko’s Christmas china patterns Christmas Tree and Holly designs.

Make Eating a Video Game with Interactive Cutlery

I can’t believe I just wrote that title to this post. Technology is about to change the way we used to use a fork as an airplane to convince the kids to eat.

A team from Argentina called Wunderman has introduced Yumit, an interactive set of flatware that can turn eating into points used for video games on smartphones, tablets and consoles.  Every fork or spoon full is turned into energy as a sensor weighs meals and sends data on the amount of food eaten to an accompanying app. The place setting is made from anti-slip materials with rounded edges to make it child-friendly and easy to hold. Each set includes a place mat, knife, fork and spoon. The cutlery is made of stainless steel and plastic with silicone grips.

It’s only available for pre-order at this time. I’m curious to see what the reaction by parents to this is. Check out the video above for a demo or click the link below for their site.

Fred and Friends MIX STIX Drumstick Spoons

Fred and Friends MIX STIX Drumstick SpoonsI played drums in High School and the first thing I noticed about these interesting pieces of musical cutlery is that you would be holding these drumsticks on the wrong end, not a bad thing, just strange. But it you have a drummer who is also a cook then this drumstick spoon set is the perfect gift. The musical note in the slotted spoon is pretty cool and very handy.

Consisting of a regular spoon and a slotted spoon that are made of solid beechwood and 13 inches long. I would recommend that you treat them with a food grade oil like walnut oil before using and then they will hold up in the dishwasher a lot better.
