Unfortunately, the
Hello Kitty crock pot arrived a tick too late to be considered for any snazzy
kitchenware awards, but we're sure it's a real winner in the hearts of fanboys and girls everywhere. Aiming to take the difficulty out of
cooking and give even the culinarily-challenged a surefire way to concoct a solid round of soup, the HK slow cooker should handle your roasts, veggie soups, and chowders with ease, and what better to season such delicacies in than a pot full of cute? Sadly, we've no word on price nor where to purchase this fine piece of countertop cookware, but giving your future meals the ability to simmer in cheerfulness is priceless indeed.

A new way for your kids to scald themselves. Awsome.
Isn't this just an ordinary slow cooker with some Hello Kitty decoration. Why is it on Engadget?
The world may never know...
Because 20+ something young ladies read endgadget, and female nerds love hello kitty.
I say we slow-cook Kitty in her own crock and end this feline-branding nonsense. It's not those robot overlords I'm worried about...
you would be correct this is a RICE cooker... denoted by the vent on the top of the cover, all rice cookers feature these, crock pots dont have vent on the glass lid.
What a crock!
Is it really a crock pot, or a rice cooker?
engadget loves all things Hello Kitty...and honestly, who doesn't?
Hello Kitty is cute, but not something most Engadget visitors can take to the office. Personally I think Crayon Shin Chan is more appropriate. :)
Target is a possible distribution outlet for this thing - they're a Sanrio licensee, and have all kinds of HK appliances. I remember seeing a bright pink Hello Kitty TV in home theater...
It's a rice cooker.
Looks like a rice cooker... and its not new, see one just like all the time.
I think it is a crock pot, not a rice cooker. 1. the inner bit is made of china, rice cooker normally use metal instead; 2. there is a timer in the front, which is for soup or porridge, I guess. Rice cooker is automatical and only needs a single button.
I feel Insulted as a human being.
Why do we see so much Hello Kitty on Engadget? Do you guys have nothing better to do than browse the web for more HK branded junk. The mental capacity of these joke editors at Engadget doesn't approach 8^10+3. That's right, I just dumbfounded you with some simple math. Now go get a degree in something and find a new job.
A)"HK Branded junk"??? Dems fightin' words, boy!
B)"8^10+3" Last time I checked, exponentials wasn't really simple math. Can a fifth grader do it? If not, then it's not simple math. It might be simple math for you because you spent most of your time studying for math exams. Most of us spent our time getting a life.
By the way, I'm not saying that I couldn't do the math. I'm just trying to give you crap for trolling a blog, complaining how the editors are "jokes". These guys love tech, telling people about said tech, and getting paid for it. Let's see you maintain your own business where millions of people visit whilst keeping some level of fun to it.
Plus, it's a light-hearted article, relax. Not everyone wants to hear about the newest LCD on the market. Sometimes its fun to hear about a new crock pot.
well said!
It makes me smile to see the training start so early. he he
Understandable that some techie people have an infatuation over Hello Kitty branded items, but does it really belong on Engadget? Sure a portion of the audience is interested, but for the most part, we are here to read about technology gadgets. The audience would likely be better served if there was more porn-related news than HK-related. :)
Lol, the whining make me laugh... As if the article would be removed if there was enough people complaining.....
This is wrong on so many levels.
I. want. one. NOW.
and I don't even cook :)
