Ultra Low Profile Food Processing System by TCC
This is one of the more clever space saving kitchen appliances in recent memory. The TCC Kitchen Center food processing unit lays innocuously flat on the countertop, unlike the clunky food processing space-hogs most of us are familiar with. The genius of the TCC system lies in the fact that the unit is nothing but a control panel and motor - at least until the processor is activated when different attachments (mixer, chopper, blender, etc...) are coupled with the base. Not only is the unit slim to begin with, but is also installable in a pull out drawer (like the Sharp Microwave) which would obviously save even more space.

Cool Glass Toaster
Until now, we've had to rely on smoke detectors to let us know when out toast was burning. Barbaric. Now, with the invention of this clever see-through toaster, we'll be able to actually see the bread toasting away, preventing any unfortunate toasting mishaps. Some info, from the site: This idea is based on the transparent heating glass featured in this issue. Although the glass does not currently get hot enough to toast bread, some day this application may be possible.
Ok, so this toaster doesn't actually toast bread. It's more of a luke-warmer than a toaster. Still, it's a cool idea and interesting technology nonetheless.

Finally a Stove with Voice Navigation
If you crave the personal satisfaction that can only be achieved through human-inanimate object interaction, then Sanyo's got you covered. Sanyo has developed an intelligent oven with voice navigation capabilities. Although it's difficult to discern from the translated page if the oven is internet aware (as this oven is), the oven does come complete with voice feedback/cooking instructions as well as melodies that play at certain times during the cooking process (i.e. when water has boiled, or cooking is complete). The songs can be downloaded to your mobile phone and IR'ed over to the oven.
