Tag: Oven Mitt

ThinkGeek seems to think that the fans of the Dark Side are the only ones who bake. First they released a Darth Vader oven mitt, and now they have an officially licensed stormtrooper mitt. They certainly hate lefties: both this and the Vader mitt are for right hands only.

Most oven mitts and gloves are so boring. But not this one. No sirree, this Nintendo Power Glove inspired oven mitt is the closest to fun and awesome that an oven mitt can ever be.

Bubble wrap is very handy for packing and protecting fragile items. It’s also great for stress relief. It’s even useful for making art and clothing. But using bubble wrap to take hot pans out of the oven normally results in a pile of melted goo, along with third-degree burns.

I’ve had various points in my life where I thought it might be cool to have a tattoo, and then I wimp out and decide not to go for it. I’m not sure if it’s my aversion to pain, or the idea that I might wake up one morning in 20 years and have to change that “Winona Forever” imprint to say “Wino Forever.” And since I don’t think they’re putting temporary tattoos in boxes of Cracker Jacks anymore, I think I just found the next best thing.

Allow me to unveil my inner cornball self, just this one time. So you know how, sometimes, you bake a cake and it doesn’t turn out the way you wanted it to? I’m sure that isn’t something you’d like, but you’ll still “like” it anyway if you use the Facebook Like Oven Mitt when you take it out of the oven.

Here are a child’s best friends: cookies and ice cream. Now here are a not-so-completely-grown-up grown up’s best friends: pixel oven mitts and pixelized cookies. Sometimes, we need a push to get moving. Baking used to be so fun for me before, but the older I grow (even if I’m just a ripe young twenty-two going on twenty-three in a few days), the more it becomes a chore, like a lot of other things that I used to enjoy and that are supposed to be enjoyable.

Boy, this must be a record – two posts about oven mitts on Technabob in a single day. I know that it seems weird for a techy geek blog, but this one was just too good to pass up.

I don’t know if you have noticed, but I get up to a lot of mischief at my house. My kids sort of expect it now. We have this oven mitt that looks like a crab claw.

I don’t usually associate computers with cooking, but that doesn’t mean that your geek style shouldn’t find its way into your kitchen. Brazilian designer Anderson Horta’s Clicking Kitchen Grip oven mitts are inspired by the little pixels of the hand cursor from your computer.
