Samsung Flex Duo Oven – It’s two, two, two ovens in one.

by Cool Mom Staff | Life and Home

This past week, I got a first look at an absolute game-changer of an oven: The Samsung Flex Duo Oven, which was announced at CES earlier this year. In short, it converts easily from a single oven to two, with just the insertion of a dedicated insulated tray through a...

by Cool Mom Staff | Life and Home

I’ve always known the simplehuman line of trash cans to be well designed, but it wasn’t until I saw a demo of their brilliant new Sensor Can that I actually started coveting it. Coveting. A garbage can. I know. The simplehuman Sensor Can is no mere trash...

Belkin Chef Stand keeps messy hands off your iPad 2
