Deadpool Cutlery Knife Block

I laughed so hard I was stomping my feet in the theater watching the movie “Deadpool”. It’s a very crude, immature and over the top super hero movie. And someone has decided that a Deadpool Knife Block makes perfect sense. It does to me. Cunning cutlery indeed.

Britt Michelsen who is a Chemical Engineer in Hamburg, Germany used modelling software and a 3D printer to create this amazing knife block. Now personally I would have added a serving spoon to gag him with and a couple of forks into the eyes to round out the flatware torture, but that’s just me.

Sadly, not available for sale, probably not licensed by Marvel. But if you have a good 3D printer you can make one yourself.

An Electric Fork that tastes like Salt

For health reasons I’ve been on a reduced sodium diet for years now. Blood pressure issues equal bland food. At first you really miss the taste of salt but it does subside a bit. But now the really smart people at University of Tokyo’s Rekimoto Lab have come up with some interesting cutlery.

This prototype electric fork uses electrical stimulation to simulate the taste of salt. It basically tricks your tongue into thinking it’s tasting salt. The battery-powered fork completes the circuit when the tines make contact with your tongue, electrically stimulating your taste buds. Like licking a 9V battery maybe, I don’t know. Even more interesting is that with only $18 worth of electronics this future fork can create tastes that are both salty and sour, and has adjustable levels of stimulation. Cyber cutlery is our future it seems.

Can you buy it? Nope, not yet. Can’t find much about it on their website either. Soon come, maybe.

Villeroy & Boch Blacksmith 60-Piece Flatware

We have talked about Villeroy & Boch before and it’s worth saying again. From the country of Germany, Villeroy & Boch is family-owned since 1748. They are an award-wining, innovative company rooted in a time-honored tradition. Villeroy & Boch custom dinnerware can be found on luxurious Orient Express trains, the Pope’s table in Vatican, the tables of crowned European royalty, and has been a staple in renowned hotels and restaurants on every continent.

I loved the hammered look of this 60-Piece Blacksmith set. It is a 12 place setting made 18/10 stainless-steel which consists of 12 each of these: dinner knife, dinner fork, dessert fork, dinner spoon, and teaspoon.

Edible Cutlery from India

Just in last month we covered an interesting product that allowed you to make your own edible spoons. Well it seems that Bakey’s Food is using the same idea and getting a heck of a lot of press. But they have taken the idea into production and much farther with edible spoons, forks, sporks, and chopsticks. And they claim to have improved taste, nutrition and shelf-life.

Instead of the usual stainless steel these are made with a healthy combination of millet, rice, and wheat. They contain ingredients like sugar, ginger, cinnamon, garlic, celery, black pepper, rock salt, cumin, mint, carrots and beets that can add to the dining experience. They have reduced the moisture and hardened the edible cutlery and promise a shelf life of about three years. And it won’t melt in your soup bowl!
