Not sure how practical a diamond encrusted cutlery set would be but it’s sure going to be pretty. That’s the perceived thinking behind the Christofle Diamond Studded Cutlery set - which is set to retail for a staggering £200,000 ($400,000) through Selfridges Wonder Room.
Christofle, the French crystal and silverware manufacturer has named the range Malmaison Diamond. Fairly apt name when you consider that one hand made tablespoon contains 36 diamonds.
I can’t quite see the logic in having a diamond encrusted cooking pot, nonetheless this one does have a certain aesthetic beauty to it.
Manufactured by Fissler a German based premium cookware business, the pot includes gold and diamond adornments. Due to retail for a staggering £100,000 ($200,000) this pot will make an appearance at London’s Harrods Department Store (for exclusive clientele only) between 10th September to 20th October.
The lucky purchaser won’t be knocking up the odd spaghetti bolognaise in it I feel!!!

I spotted this sleek object the other day. What is it you ask?
Quite simply it’s an Borosilicate glass Egg Timer / Egg Cup. Nice idea and quite stylish to boot.
Perfect gift for an egg enthusiast!
It’s due to be marketed on suck.co.uk in the near future so keep your eyes peeled.

We just love this funky Francis Francis coffee machine. Colourful, compact and functional.
Made in Italy this espresso/cappuccino machine looks like it has the pedigree of a Ferrari and by all accounts the coffee it produces is delicious. Filled with features the Francis Francis includes a 15 bar pump, temperature gauge, hot water dispenser, 1.5 litre capacity, a removable water tank and drip tray.
John Lewis retail this product for £375 ($693) and say:
“The`retro-futuristic`design of Luca Trazzi’s X1 coffee machine is typical of the innovative styling of Francis Francis! products. Presented in 1995, the X1 is now sold in 28 countries.”

Getting the consistency of your boiled egg spot on is always difficult - even with an egg timer. Just ask the servants of Prince Charles, who allegedly cook several boiled eggs in the hope that one maybe of the right consistency!
However, help is at hand with this little gizmo called the “Egg Perfect”.
Gizoo say:
“The Egg Perfect is a colour changing egg timer that sits in the pan with your eggs while they boil and tells you when they’re cooked to your taste. Graduated scales show when eggs are soft, medium or hard by sensing heat instead of time. This nifty egg timer has a sensor which accounts for the number of eggs, the amount of water and even the altitude at which your eggs are being cooked. Soft boiled eggs are exactly as you like them and hard boiled eggs are never left to boil too long.”
It includes the following features:
