Big Green Egg Grill – If you’re strictly a burgers and dogs kind of griller, move along. Everyone else, meet the Big Green Egg. It’s eponymous shape makes it ideal for grilling foul, as the 18-inch model supports up to a 20-pound turkey. For smaller stuff, there’s a tactical advantage: The ceramic shell allows the Big Green Egg to reach temperatures of 600 degrees, but it can also keep a low heat of 200 degrees for smoking briskets and ribs. And because the shell manages heat so efficiently, the egg uses less charcoal than a more conventional grill. Who knows, maybe the savings will reimburse the $700 price tag over time. You’d have to do a lot of grilling, but why wouldn’t you? [via About]

The green hype has certainly not been lost on our kitchens. Though we never thought it would be possible to recycle vapours, British designer Jonathan Banton came out with an ingenious solution dubbed Osmos which does just that. You simply mount it on a pan to absorb and retain all wasted steam and heat generated while you’re testing your cooking chef’s abilities, and it turns it into the greenery of your choice. Of bone china construction, Osmos is not just a stylish eco-friendly product, but also a support for a fresh and healthier environment that adds a green touch to your kitchen. [via DesignBoom]

Designer Andrey Vostrikov wanted to use design to solve a common problem.  He felt that the common household kettle relied too much on metallic resources it didn’t need– and could use a facelift to fit with these modern times.  Vostrikov’s new, efficient design makes production both cheaper and more stylish– while still performing like the metal kettles of yesteryear.  We’re not sure if it will cost less or not, but if it gets produced it should add nicely to our kitchen.

If you don’t want to rely on your local shop to buy your beer, then you’d better get yourself a NanoBrewMaster. Make sure you have the malt extract, hops, yeast, water and sugar, put them in and let the machine do all the job. It will brew, ferment and chill the beer when done. It’s able to brew some 15 gallons of beer at once, but the most interesting fact is that the NanoBrewMaster cleans itself, making home brewing something we’d all do. Sounds like a great way to turn your home into an house-pub, but expect to pay for it. We’re pretty sure it won’t come in cheap. [via BornRich]
