RECIPE INGREDIENTS

8 extra-large eggs

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons milk

Salt to taste

Freshly ground white pepper to taste

1 small onion, thinly sliced

4 small red-skinned potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup diced ham

DIRECTIONS

Whisk the eggs vigorously. Mix in the mustard, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In an ovenproof pan, thoroughly cook the onions and potatoes, in the olive oil. Turn the heat to medium high and pour the eggs into the pan.

Let the eggs set for several seconds. With a heatproof rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs, starting from the center. This stirring makes the frittata puff up more in the oven.

Lift the edges so that the eggs flow to the bottom. When the frittata is half-set, add the ham.

Transfer the pan to the heated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes (less if you like runny eggs), until puffed and golden.

The HR2094 doesn’t stop the good stuff there though. The solidly built blender comes with hefty suckers to keep it on the worktop without sliding all over the place and the 1.5 litre glass jug not only means you can get a good deal of liquid blended but also that you can keep it clean without the fear of tainting or dulling.
The blender is controlled via a glowing central dial on the front of the base and here you have four settings to help you blend quickly and effectively.

There are four main parts to this product; a stainless plate for meal prep and warming, an electric stove for cooking, a dish drawer for storage, and a mini-fridge. If it looks like a filing cabinet, don’t hate - it’s supposed to slip under your desk. This is perfect for someone who eats at the desk, like I am doing now. Mmm. . . ramen.

Knives scare the hell out of me. Sharpening knives is pretty much out of the question. I’m no Chao San Poi. But this fully-enclosed knife sharpener seems to be the key to precise cuts for those who only like to be near the blunt side of the blade.

Some words from the designer, Adam Clark: “Eliminates the skill and safety concerns surrounding traditional knife sharpening equipment. The Sliding sharpening mechanism broadens the products capacity to function with particularly dull knives. The mechanism is enclosed within the case and automatically adjusts to match the curvature of various blades.”

Take the sharpener, place the blade inside, click shut, sharpen, click open, done! The sharpener clicks apart for easy cleaning. It fits most knives. I can slice my enemy* in half with ease! *My enemy is Peanut Butter + Jelly Sandwich, whom I then consume!

According to Adam Clark, this sharpener will be available for purchase early 2009 through the design’s sponsor, Salter Housewares.
