Yes, I did get a Food Dehydrator for Christmas present (and I did use it the other day to make some awesome apple chips) but for those of you who can’t even spend $20 on one, you can try out this DIY on how to make a food dehydrator.

Of course, it’s not a complex concept as all the food dehydrator does is flow slightly-hot air through the food for couple hours to dry your food.

There’s also DIY on how to make a solar food dehydrator, if you are an eco-geek you might want to try out that route instead.

I have always wanted to make a REAL food dehydrator, but all the plans I have found always start out “make a box…” That lets me out! I don’t have the patience to make a box, let alone the skills to make it square, then add racks (also square!!) so I came up with a super easy way to make a container that looks like the commercial dehydrators using stacking trays in a cylindrical shape. It took me less than an hour and cost about 20 dollars. I could have scavenged and cut that in half, as I am sure many of you readers can.

Wow, check out this cool DIY on how to make your own Tetris brownies.  Now, where did I put that concoction for those pot brownies???

Who doesn’t love Tetris? Fit the tetrads (or tetrominoes or blocks) together the best you can without any spaces. Keep the game going by forming unbroken lines that disappear to steer clear of building the blocks all the way up to the top of the screen (this action = game over). This is one of the only video games I have ever really enjoyed (Super Mario and Guitar Hero excluded). I remember when my classmates and I figured out how to load Tetris onto our TI-83 calculators in high school. This discovery made math class much more fun.

I must admit I do spend an awful amount of time in front of my computer and there’s always need for some nice toasted bread.

Here’s a Toaster Drive that will fit on any 5.25″ drive bays and you can connect it to your PC power supply for power.

How cool is that?

Now, I have a toaster to make myself breakfast without having to leave my comfy (and cheap) IKEA chair.

We listen to Gamers and what product do they want the most? Turns out Gamers crave toast. Enter the CrazyPC 5.25 Bay Toaster. What better way to satisfy that late night snack craving than a healthy piece of toast? Just slide in a slice of bread - and voila you have toast in just minutes. The Bay Toaster fits in a standard 5.25 drive bay and installs in just minutes. Comes with Windows software for adjusting heat and time (Mac OS version coming soon!)

At first I thought this was a sushi toaster as the toaster bag and sandwich together reminded me of my favorite ma-ke.  But it turns out it’s a toaster bag which will keep everything inside your sandwich together while heating it up nicely.  Sorta reminds me of Quizno subs and how they oven-bake everything before they serve it.

This is ironic find as I have just bought a brand new toaster couple days ago after probably 10+ years of not having one.

Whether you’re a student, teenager or busy professional on the go, why not invest in this neat little gadget that turns your toaster into a sandwich maker. This UK design allows you to simply add all your favourite fillings and toast them in a standard upright toaster.Toastabags - Alternative Healthy Sandwich Maker

Toastabags have many advantages: 1. Healthy eating, no added fats required2. Tough enough to be used over and over again3. Just wipe clean ready for next time4. Cook meals in a tiny, low-budget space Toastabag - it turns your toaster into a sandwich maker.

Once again a failed attempt on my part to create something. I realize what I did wrong though and will guide you through what not to do if you want taffy or what to do if you want hard candy . . .or fine art.

I can appreciate great cooking products that’d save me time and eat the best part of the fruit.  In this case, the Apple Peeler does a great job at peeling most of the Apple’s skin and more.

This gadget is great for rich duchebags who does not know how to use a knife.  Other than that, go knock yourself out with bunch of these as your kids may like to peel you some Apple for once.

Even in today’s high-tech world, there’s nothing better or faster for peeling, slicing and coring apples than this old-fashioned tool. It’s great for peeling pears and potatoes, too. A suction base grips your countertop. The tool is made of sturdy, enameled cast steel with a stainless-steel shaft and prong. 5 1/2″ high, 12 1/2″ long overall.
