Spoons, Knives, and Forks That Float

Floater1

Shelterrific points to these innovative concepts for floating utensils: The ceramic forks, knives, and spoons are shaped with an empty ball in the center so that they will bob up and down rather than sinking to the bottom of your sink (and ending up in the garbage disposal).

The gastronomic buoys might also make for an interesting way to serve food: I could imagine them floating in a container of just about anything brined or, perhaps, in a bowl of bocconcini chilled in water. The utensils' creator, Seongyong Lee, has also designed a plastic ladle that, like the forks and knives, floats upright. Both designs only appear to be concepts at this point, though a hypnotic video of the ladle in action is available on YouTube.

You said hypnotic, and you weren't kidding. I seriously feel more relaxed after 36 seconds. And that ladle is awesome. So it's not for sale yet? Definitely going to keep an eye out.

I know it was several weeks ago, but I see that you have a post related to your support for Obama. Why are the comments closed for that post when you allow comments on other posts?

If you want to somewhat alienate almost half of your readers (46% of the nation voted for McCain), then you should at least open it up for comments.

Personally I read your blog for food information, but apparently you want to impart your political opinion as well (like so many celebrities). I posted a similar comment on one of Adam Roberts' posts and it never made it through the moderation queue... interesting. I wonder what my chances are of getting through here.
