There is a definite science to cooking and these kitchen chemistry-inspired objects are a great way to channel your inner scientist. Although some people are more liberal in the kitchen with the way they like to prepare meals, some branches of cooking, like baking, require precision and carefully measured-out ingredients.
Gadgets like periodic table-themed cutting boards and test tube spice racks are sure to take you back to the days of your high school chemistry classes. Depending on what kind of a student you were, this will bring back either fond memories or frustration. If you're not into concocting your own experiments for new culinary dishes, something as simple as salt shakers that refer to salt and pepper by their scientific names are sure to make your inner geek smile.
