Voodoo Knife Block (UK)
January 20, 2010
If you’ve arrived here at Gadgets For Men looking for the Voodoo Knife Block then you’ll probably want to know that we’ve now removed our original blog post in which we wrote about the modern-art style design of storing a set of kitchen knives in the style of pins in a voodoo doll.
As much as we enjoy being blokes and ‘one of the boys’ here on Gadgets For Men, we’re also family guys and after hearing the news story in which this Voodoo Knife Block was on display in a shop window where it could be viewed by young children, we felt it would be wrong to be actively promoting this item here on this site anymore.
Therefore, we’ve now removed the original blog post about this item as given some families of the victims of knife crime had been offended by the item, perhaps the style of that post did not fit with this site.
If you’re an adult and would like to still read about the details of this kitchen gadget, then you can read more about the Voodoo Knife Block over at Man-Fat.com.
UPDATE / DISCLAIMER: Obviously, this is most definitely a gadget aimed towards adults only and therefore not only are you required to be over 18 years of age to buy one, also it should be said that we here at Gadgets For Men believe that it’s certainly NOT an item for a family home in which impressionable children will live or in fact be on display in any kitchen where children might even just visit.
Baconnaise – Bacon-Flavoured Mayonnaise!
January 11, 2010
Bacon-flavoured mayonnaise, that’s what Baconnaise is! Who would have thought it possible? I think this must have only ever crossed one person’s mind in the history of the world. Luckily for us, that one person followed it up and put it into production.
This really is something special. For me, I love bacon and I love mayonnaise so what could be better than this for slapping on your sandwiches.

June 11, 2009
What is it?
Since the dawn of time all men have cooked raw meat over an open flame and we cant explain why we love doing it. We have also, by default, all burnt our barbeque meat into unrecognisable charred lumps, with a pink gooey centre. This was all done in an effort to get that unbeatable flame grilled taste, which as you will know, is difficult to master… until now. Step up the BarbeSkew II (the new cheaper version of the original BarbeSkew, as seen on Dragons Den).
It is essentially a new take on a BBQ that constantly rotates your chosen meat, instead of leaving it static on a grill. It does not sound like a massive evolutionary step, but the best ideas are always the most simple. You lance your chosen cuts of meat (perhaps using your Big BBQ Sword aka the Barbeque Sword) onto the 7 small skewers then slip them into the groves provided over the charcoal. They then slowly rotate, allowing the meat to receive a 360 degree view of the fire below. You also get 2 cage skewers enabling you to still cook the BBQ classics, sausages and burgers that also benefit from the same 360 degree cooking experience.

April 28, 2009
What is it?
This is the best novelty salt and pepper shakers we have ever seen (not that we spend hours looking for them though). Based on the eighties classic icon, the Rubik’s Cube, this pair of table condiments will make anyone over the age of 15 smile. Measuring in at 5.7 cm2 they are the same size as the original making them not imposing enough to be impractical. The stylish plastic outer casing houses a durable ceramic grinder like in most mills.
Garlic Zoom
April 12, 2009
What is it?
The Garlic Zoom is as you can probably guess, a new kitchen gadget that allows you to chop garlic with ease. You simply pop the cloves of garlic required into the little bladed contraption then push it along your work surface. The wheels drive the internal blades that slice and dice the little stinking cloves. Simply tap the garlic out when it has reached your required consistency and add it to your chosen cuisine.
Foolproof Egg Timer
January 13, 2009
Foolproof is a bold claim, like unsinkable – and we know what happened to the titanic! And then to state this along side something as egg-zact as boiling an egg, we were dubious to say the least about the Foolproof Egg Timer. Upon closer investigation we realised this little red egg actually works on some simply complicated science, that we won’t bore you with, but as a result actually makes the timer surprisingly accurate, in a surprising number of ways.
