Easy-to-use Banana Slicer

20120304010

Personally I don’t need any banana slicers as I can almost eat up a banana before I get the slicer. But for those who want to entertain their guests with beautifully-cut fruits, one easy-to-use banana slicer is obviously in their great demand. Here we strongly recommend you this slicer: simply peel a banana, place the slicer on it and push it hard, then you’ll see the banana cut into pieces. More important, every piece is of the same width… (Is that really important? Not, to me. )

Transformable “Twist”

20111216001

Somebody cares quite much about the environment, so they are trying hard to avoid using too many bowls or bags in order to save water and other resources; others, like me, are just too lazy to do the housework so we try to use as few bowls as we can too. Yaps, we may have different motives, but we’re all forwarding in the same direction and we all need the “Twist” by Nick Burrows. It’s transformable, capable of shifting between a bag, a microwave oven proof container and an ordinary bowl. Just twist to change it, and then you can do something beneficial to both you and the environment.

Why does Alireza Alavi build the conceptual burner with a same shape of mosquito coils? I’ve no idea of the possible reason but actually the device concerns nothing to mosquito coils.
