We all know we are supposed to be composting. We’ve seen various incarnations of the “indoor” composter invented in the last few years. The units are often huge, exceptionally expensive, or made from low-quality plastic. However there is one called a Naturemill that has a motor that runs a mixing bar. heats the mixing chamber (no sunlight needed) and powers an air pump that works with a carbon air filter to help reduce smells so you can actually leave it sitting indoors on your porch or near your kitchen.
Using the NatureMill is very easy, from set-up to clean-up to soil-ready. Just add starter dirt and sawdust pellets and dump your food scraps in. NatureMill recommends that you cut organic material into four-inch bits before plopping it in this unique machine. However this type of eco-mindedness does not seem to come cheap. This costs $400.
Do you need an electric martini maker? Waring makes a beautiful stainless steel one. Smaller than a blender, the Martini Maker is at least unobtrusive on your counter: A standard 20-ounce cobbler shaker sits snugly on a cup-like base, and a telescoping lid locks it down when you’re ready to start mixing. Load ingredients normally, then choose from “shake” or “stir.” Sounds good but apparently some consumer reviews of this nifty gadget say it leaves your drinks way too warm. Still that would not prevent you from making some kind of smoothie in it.
Another neat thing is the Black & Decker TLD100 Laser Pyrometer. You could shrink your power bill by dropping $500 on a professional energy audit, or you could do it yourself with Black & Decker’s TLD100 laser pyrometer. It has a user interface that shows you exactly where that air is escaping. Power up and aim the pistol-shaped device at the wall and it will show you where you are losing heat.
Move the laser around the room, and when the temperature shifts, the light changes to red (hotter) or blue (colder). When you’re done greening up your home, the TLD100 is still handy to have around.
The other neat thing is that it can measure the temperature of anything. It can tell you how hot the temperature of your baby’s milk. It can also tell your beer is cold or if the hot tub is too hot to climb into just yet!
