If you were looking for some innovative cooking vessels, here are some really cool ones. Federica Castagno and Sara Petrucci of Acquacalda have unveiled the Applied Physics Cooking Utensils, which is a rather tasteless name for something associated with the taste buds, if you asked me.
These kitchen gadgets are based on the laws of physics and you could endow your kitchen with a self-hydrating plant pot, a glass with a measuring reservoir, a vase which tells you the water level inside, and also a bowl that helps you to measure dry food in water. You could go ahead and take a look at the article written by Chantal, at Cubeme in which she describes how these gadgets function, and how they are related to physics.

If you are not exactly fond of cooking, these gadgets might add to your agony if you do not understand physics either. They sure look chic and well designed, and in fact could be a great gift to someone who is fond of physics. There is no information about the price or availability but you could always contact the designers and enquire if they are available for sale.
