10 Ideas Blog

The 10 Ideas Blog was inspired by the words of James Altucher in his National Best Seller, Choose YourselfEach week, we sit down and challenge our brain to come up with ten ideas for new inventions.  This is a great exercise for anyone to participate in, and sometimes we come up with really great concepts (and sometimes, they’re a little crazy!) Our father, Ben Greenfield wrote an article about why this is such a good idea, and you can read that article here.

In this installment of 10 ideas, we were inspired by the upcoming holiday season, which comes with a lot of cooking and gathering. We thought of some awesome ideas to incorporate that might help ease the stress of the holidays in the kitchen.

Terran on Kitchen Gadgets

My ideas this week were focused around food – one of my favorite things! This one is for all the grill masters out there. I would create a grill that allows grilling options for different types of meat. Easy grilling at the click of a button or setting. A poultry/meat shredder would be perfect for those southern bbq nights! We use a lot of citrus in our cooking, so a citrus multitool would be a great additional kitchen gadget. It would zest, juice, slice, and dry – making more time for what you really want to do…spend time with the family! Maybe it could also extract and be added to my favorite root powder to create root beer!

River on Kitchen Gadgets

My ideas this week were also focused on food, while also creating extra time to spend with loved ones. We like to look up new recipes online, but somehow find ourselves wanting to combine or split multiple recipes to create the perfect one! We would like to create a website that can do just that! I think that also creating an oven with microwave type settings would save us cooks a lot of time – perfectly cooked meals every time without having to check and see if they are done! No more undercooking or burning food like we sometimes do! Since the weather is getting cooler, a vegetable soup maker would definitely come in handy. We could let it do its thing while we do our favorite things as a family.
