Tasty tech spices up the kitchen
Some refrigerators bear a close resemblance to a cooling chamber in a biology lab. If your fridge is frequently loaded with half-empty jars of rotting spaghetti sauce and salsa, the Days Ago digital day counter might help spare you the trauma of cracking open a moldy container of sour cream....There is also an option to view how many hours have passed, which could be helpful when letting bread doughs rise.

The inside of our fridge is pretty typical - a few tupperware containers of leftovers. How long these containers have been around is anybody's guess. DaysAgo is a small, round digital device that will keep track of how old your food is. You activate the gadget to start the sequence, then stick it on your food container with either the magnet or suction cup. Pretty simple and no more guessing. The inventors of DaysAgo had the idea for keeping track of half-full baby food jars in the fridge which can only be kept fresh a few days. Obviously, it can be used for other foods and so the possibilities are endless.

Now, if you live with a chef-husband like I do who just happens to have a certifiicate for food safety and handling, he might scoff at the idea since he usually just does the smell and toss method, not to mention that he suggests we can just write the date on masking tape with a sharpie like they do at work. But I can't resist a new kitchen gadget so I might just start sticking these things on everything just to spite him.

If you've got a fridge full of half eaten jars of questionable freshness, toss them all away—what are you, cheap? Once you're done with that, grab some Digital Day Counters and attach them to all your new food, letting the counter keep track of how many days that sour cream has been sitting there, waiting to be eaten....You could achieve the same functionality with some masking tape and a Sharpie pen, but where's the gadgetry in that?

I’m sure we’ve all had some delicious leftovers left over too long that turned into a fuzzy marsh. Perhaps, that extreme was only a few times, but more often we simply leave food just long enough that when we take a nice big bite out of that leftover garlic bread, we wonder “was that supposed to be sourdough bread?” ...I think it’d be more useful if when your food has surpassed its time, the device actually sounds an alarm when you open the fridge.

Aging Gracefully...This is the kind of “aha” product that makes you wish you’d thought of it first. How often do you find a half-full jar of baby food in the fridge and wonder how long it’s been sitting there. Instead of shaking, stirring, sniffing and reluctantly tasting the peas, now you can just refer to the handy little magnetized gizmo stuck to the lid of the jar. The Digital Day Counter from Days Ago is pure genius. Just stick it, set it and forget it. The clever little timer diligently counts the hours and days, so you don’t need to remember (or guess) whether your food is past its prime.

There are two varieties, magnetic and suction cup. And while these are great for baby-related fridge items, like baby food and breastmilk, they are also more broadly useful for sleep-deprived, slightly forgetful parents to keep track of leftovers or a litany of other things.

DaysAgo might just be a big help... DaysAgo is a little digital date counter that attaches to anything with its magnetic or suction backing, and tells you how long it's been since, well, whatever. Put it on those leftovers so you'll know how long they've been sitting in the refrigerator, or slap it on a plant pot to let you know when the last time you watered the poor thing.
