Hot In The Hive: QOOQ Kitchen Computer

Imagine a world where stuffy French culinary academies are rendered obsolete. Where you don't need to spend thousands on a personal chef... and you don't need a talking rat under your chef's hat to lead your way around the kitchen. Enter QOOQ -- your sleek touchscreen guide to mouthwatering masterpieces! The device, equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities and 500 preloaded recipes, takes you step-by-step through meal preparation and even teaches you tricky-to-master techniques with tutorial videos. Sauteed your way through all of its default recipes? Subscribe to monthly downloadable updates for 12.95 EUR a month and you'll never run out of creative things to concoct. It would be the perfect gift for any Jacques Pepin in training... but as of now, the device only comes in French. So if you have anyone on your list who has mastered the French language but doesn't have the culinary mastery to go with it, look into the QOOQ!

Hot In The Hive: Bodum Bistro Toaster

I don't know if they're just too busy browning our bagels to perfection to be concerned with looks, but it seems exceedingly rare to find aesthetically pleasing toasters. It's even more unlikely that I'd spot a toaster I felt I just had to have based on cuteness alone! Until now, toasters seem to have been strictly business -- pop in your toast, grab it when it pops back out, get on with your day -- but the Bodum Bistro 2-slice Toaster isn't only functional... it's pretty darn spiffy too! With eight fun colors to choose from and a modern heat-resistant rubber exterior, it doesn't just look pretty, either! The adjustable-width slots can fit all sorts of slices (no more cramming or jamming your huge slabs of bread) and the pull-out crumb tray makes for easy clean-up. I think I already have about 4 free toasters from various other appliance purchases, but this one is just so cute, it might be worth the splurge!
