Zoku slows it down with Mini Pop Molds

The inside of the refrigerator is no place for fast food. Aside from the fridge gnome who turns the light on and off when the door is opened and closed, it is pretty slow in there. Of course, this is exactly how we want it; it's nice to be able to look inside and find the dairy and the lunch meat where you left it (not counting housemate intervention). Zoku, of quick-pop-maker fame, understands that sometimes it's OK to slow down.

The Zoku Mini Pop Molds ($16.99) are part of Zoku's "Slow Pops" line. (… Read more

Kitchen gadgets spin, whiz, and whir so often that we have come to expect them to.

One freezer pop at a time

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the number of treats that can be found this time of year.

It starts innocently enough with the giving out of Halloween candy, but that is just the start. As we progress through the remainder of the year, we will soon find our houses inundated with goodies associated with upcoming holidays. It's no wonder Halloween candy seems to last well until the new year.

When it is time for a single treat from the freezer (aside from all those individually wrapped pieces of candy that end up there), the Zoku Single Pop Maker … Read more

Zoku does take two

Not everybody has 2.3 kids (or whatever the national average is nowadays). While this probably isn't a very shocking revelation, the fact remains that many appliances and gadgets are designed for larger households. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; more is usually better, right? Except sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. Any parent of a sugar-fueled tribe would most likely agree.

More than just a way of limiting sugar consumption (although it does have that going for it too), the Zoku Duo Quick Pop Maker is perfect for those with 2.0 kids. … Read more
