REVIEW – If you cook on a griddle, then you know that there is nothing better than cast iron for high-temperature cooking. Grilled sandwiches, smash burgers, eggs, and more all call out for cast iron for balanced temperature cooking and simple cleanup. Some cast iron pans are a bit unwieldy to handle as cast iron […]

NEWS – We Gadgeteers love our junk food. A new arrival is disrupting everything you think about what goes together. Coke Zero and Oreos? What?

REVIEW – I travel a lot. I carry a lot of stuff. Chargers, battery packs, cables – all the junk I need to be able to power all the doo-dads I travel with. Being able to power an electron-hungry laptop is critical for me as I regularly do some battery-consuming laptop work while I sit

REVIEW – Here at The Gadgeteer, we’ve reviewed induction cooktops in the past. I reviewed the Sunmaki 316 single-burner cooktop and Danny Welsch reviewed a two-burner model from AMZCHEF. We’ve discussed how fast they are, how they don’t heat up the kitchen since induction cooking only heats the pan, and how convenient the instant on/off

REVIEW – If you travel, you probably collect souvenirs. You know – those things that remind you of where you’ve been, and collect dust as they sit on your bookcase, cabinet, or curio table. We travel but my wife hates clutter as well as dusting. Therefore, typical travel knickknacks like figurines, magnets, and such don’t
REVIEW – Traveling internationally can present packing challenges. The more you have to carry, the more of a pain it is. As someone who travels internationally a lot while bringing a laptop, phone, digital camera, 360-degree camera, action camera, headphones, and a few more electronic odds and ends, it usually means I have to bring
REVIEW – Food bits. Plaque. General dental slime. Eww, right? We all brush, well, most of us, but brushing only goes so far. Flossing helps get rid of these icky things in our mouths, but I hate flossing. I don’t like the *snap* of the floss as it gets between my teeth. I don’t like

REVIEW – Mobile phones have changed the communication landscape. For many, phones aren’t for talking anymore, they are just for texting and email. But there is one other thing that almost everyone does with a mobile phone – take photos. These photos sit in cell phone jail, resting, unseen, in the phone’s memory, and most

REVIEW – Car headlights are bright these days. Websites disagree wildly about how bright headlights are, but there is a general consensus that 3,000 lumens (lm) is a good average for modern factory LED headlights. Let’s suppose that you need more than that. You want to illuminate a broad area, briefly, and make it look
