base10 Christmas gifts for the kitchen geek
These gifts will be perfect for the cook that can convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit without a calculator.
1. Brain cubes
This ice cube tray converts a drink into a smart drink. Every rock should be a brain.
2. Compartmentalized lunch boxes
These stainless steel lunch boxes are not only eco-friendly, they are downright nifty.
3. Keep your Cutting Boards Separate with Joseph Joseph Color Coded Chopping Boards
Ensure food safety with the Joseph Joseph Index Chopping Boards, which includes four color-coded chopping boards with illustrated tabs. The four boards include red for raw meat, blue for seafood, green for veggies and white for cooked foods. They store in staggered order for visual ease.
4. Vacuum Coffee Maker
Drip coffee is elementary. French press = Meh. Bodum’s glass vacuum coffee maker FTW!
Wikipedia Describes how this works:
The principle of a vacuum coffee maker is to heat water in the lower vessel of the brewer until expansion forces the contents through a narrow tube into an upper vessel containing coffee grounds. When the lower vessel has more or less emptied itself and enough time has elapsed, the heat is removed and the resulting vacuum will draw the brewed coffee through a strainer back into the lower chamber from which it can be decanted. The device must usually be taken apart to pour out the coffee.

5. Data-licious digital scale
The only thing that makes a geek happier than a boatload of data is giving her two boatloads of data. This scale not only tells you how much your portion weighs, it gives you the nutritional information as well. Now, how healthy is this kilogram of Mountain Dew?
6. Onion Goggles
These goggles let you recreate your glory days in the organic chemistry labs. Doesn’t everyone need a set of goggles for the kitchen to avoid deadly acid attacks to the eyes? Well, how about using them to avoid the onion-based tears. Slap these on and you’ll be making French Onion Soup for the club in no time.
7. The Coolest Coffee Mug for the Photo Geek
This may look like a lens, but it is a coffee cup with travel lid. This is a great gift for the photographer that likes to drink their coffee with a wide open aperture.
8. Equal Measuring Cup
Does your recipe call for a human brain sized portion of milk? If so, you’ll need this equal measuring cup, which displays the basic measurements as well as comparisons to other objects.
9. Geekiest Clock for the Kitchen
Every kitchen needs a clock and this is one of the geekiest you’ll find. The time is not displayed via arms or digits, rather you’ll need to decode the light sequence on this LED panel. While those who know the code can read the time quickly, others will consider it a nifty piece of art.
10. Mountain Dew Hackathon Cups
It’s no secret that Mountain Dew powers many non-stop hacking and gaming sessions. This set of glasses embrace the Yahoo! Hack Day concept with their vintage Mountain Dew logo. Keep your geek going by filling these glasses with the caffeine loaded soda.
