Become an egg poacher – quick stix
Posted on 15. Aug, 2007 by Jon in Kitchen Gear
How handy is this clever device? It’s an egg poacher for the busy yuppie on the run. Picture this – instead of fussing with oil and pans and all that unhealthy nonsense in the morning, simply boil a pot of water, drop in the poachpod and crack an egg.
It may look like a piece of face-saving equipment Jacques Kallis will not be using for a while, but it’ll cook your egg quick quick.
Cube Jigger

Designer Josh Owen has put some thought into redefining the common bar/cocktail measure.

The capitalist pig’s saucepan
Posted on 25. Jul, 2007 by Jon in Kitchen Gear
This totally over-the-top £100 000 saucepan may be just a little too much, even for us here at Yuppiechef.
The 11in pot, which has solid gold handles studded with 200 diamonds, is made by German cookware firm Fissler. Wealthy cooks can pick one up made to order at Harrods for £100,000.
It works just like any other, more reasonably priced kitchen utensil, but just costs about a 1000-times more. Buy it only if you’re completely potty…or your last name is Beckham.

ART & COOK have taken the art of kitchen tool design to a new level – these amazing tools, that when viewed in their black and white collection have an almost victorian, gothic feel which we find rather appealing.
