Travesty of a mockery of a sham...

This is a plain shame.

I mean, when I first saw it... I was enraptured. Dude. Science and cooking in one neat little package. My type of geekery.

Then I started looking at the spices and the price. For about $150 I'm looking at a test tube rack that doesn't cater to my needs. It's general. All-purpose.

Why would I do that? As a science geek I'm looking for specific efficiency. I'll keep the allspice in my cupboard, because I never use it. I don't recall the last time I saw anyone use whole peppercorns. I think they've got ground monkey butt (tarragon, which reminded me of tamarinds, for some reason) in there as well, which just doesn't float my boat.

So, yeah, I'd like a test tube rack, some test tubes (glass with stoppers), and maybe some spices to go in, but for that price I better get to choose.

You need to look into Alton Brown products. He is a science geek chef on the Food Network. He has all kinds of cool gadgets. You can google him, or go to www.foodnetwork.com.

We have the telescoping fork and the measuring cup system. We're saving for the infared thermometer.
