Preview of Nesting prep bowls with pour scoop
By Krypto
Complexity
Simple (set)
MAIN PURPOSE: Tip chopped ingredients into the pan, then nest the bowls away
Square prep bowls for chopped onions, herbs and spices with a sloped scoop at the front, so everything slides straight into the pan without a spoon. A stacking lip lets them nest inside each other, so a full set takes the drawer space of one.

Preview of Spherification caviar kit
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Make bursting pearls of juice by dripping alginate into a calcium bath
In 2003 the elBulli kitchen discovered spherification: drip juice mixed with a little alginate (from seaweed) into a calcium bath, and each drop instantly grows a thin jelly skin while staying liquid inside. Load the syringes standing in the rack, drip mango, balsamic or cola into the BATH, lift the pearls into the RINSE, then spoon them into the SERVE bay. They pop on the tongue like caviar, a bit of modernist cooking for any home kitchen.

Preview of Archimedes float scale
By Krypto
Complexity
Simple
MAIN PURPOSE: Weigh letters, spices or coins by how deep a cup floats in a bowl of water
No batteries, no springs, just Archimedes: a floating cup sinks until it has pushed aside its own weight in water. Because this cup is exactly 40 x 40 mm, every gram you add sinks it 0.625 mm, so the lines on the side are 20 g apart. Float it in a jug, add rice as ballast until the water sits on the 0 line, then drop in a letter, a spoonful of yeast or a gold ring and read its weight where the waterline lands. Check it with coins of known weight first.

Preview of Square-egg press
By Krypto
Complexity
Multi-part assembly
MAIN PURPOSE: Turn a hot boiled egg into a perfect cube for lunch boxes and bento
A hot boiled egg is surprisingly soft. Peel it while it is still hot, drop it into this box and press the lid down over it: the lid squeezes the egg into the square chamber, and ten minutes in iced water sets it in shape. Out comes a cube with sharp corners that slices into square egg pieces for sandwiches, stacks in a bento and makes children ask how. It was a craze in Japan in the 1970s.

Preview of Clear-ice directional freezing box
By Krypto
Complexity
Simple
MAIN PURPOSE: Freeze crystal-clear ice from the top down in a thick-walled box
Bar-clear ice is not about boiled or filtered water: it is about which way it freezes. In an ordinary tray the water freezes from every side at once and traps air and minerals in a cloudy middle. This box has 5 mm air-filled walls and stands on feet, so the cold can only get in through the open top. The ice grows straight down and pushes the bubbles ahead of it, leaving a clear block on top and a small cloudy plug at the bottom that you lift out before it freezes. Cut the block into cubes or spheres with a bread knife.

Preview of Egg float-test freshness cup
By Krypto
Complexity
Simple
MAIN PURPOSE: Check how fresh an egg is by whether it lies, stands or floats
Every egg has a little air cell that grows as it ages, so an old egg slowly turns into a float. Fill the cup with cold water and lower an egg in. Lying flat on the bottom by FRESH: perfect for poaching. Standing on its point by USE SOON: fine for baking or hard-boiling. Floating up by BIN: throw it out. The tall, narrow cup takes one egg at a time and the three levels are raised in green, gold and red.
