Gizmos for Cooks

The Sharper Image has a great way of making technology portable so you can apply it to all aspects of life.  Here, with the new iwavecube Personal Microwave, the innovation giant allows you to take the convenience of a microwave oven (once only appropriate for the kitchen) and put it just about anywhere — another room in the house, your office, an entertainment or media room — you name it.  This tiny microwave weighs a mere 12 lbs., takes up less than a cubic foot of space and features a built-in carry handle and view-through door.  And because it plugs into a standard outlet, you can have popcorn, a perfectly heated cup of soup or warmed up java from earlier in the day any time, any place.  It’s the epitome of practicality.
