Functional Star Trek Kitchen Gadgets and Accessories

I've been a fan since halfway through the first season of TOS  ("The Original Series"), and I've enjoyed the rest of the Star Trek television series and movies since then, including the new, re-imagined world of Star Trek in the 2009 Star Trek: The Movie.  So I was excited to find these functional Star Trek items that I can use in the kitchen.  I hope you enjoy them too.

*Here's a bit of trivia:  Did you know that Starfleet Academy's Motto, Ex astris, scientia is derived from Apollo 13's motto, Ex luna, scientia -- From the moon, knowledge, which in turn is derived from the United States Naval Academy, Ex scientia tridens, meaning From knowledge, seapower (the motto is turned around a little, in terms of overall meaning).

I couldn't decide these two pairs of Star Trek salt and pepper shakers, so I'm featuring both below for your viewing pleasure.   You get to decide which is your favorite.  Or maybe you like them both!  Both sets are based on The Original Series, and both are made by Westland Giftware.

The first is the Enterprise and Shuttle Salt and Pepper Shakers made of glazed ceramic.   When they're not in use, they can stay safely docked together with a magnet insert (as in this image).   The shuttle is the Galileo.  Height is about 2".

The second is a Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock Salt and Pepper Shaker set.  These are also fun and functional shakers made of glazed ceramic, and about 4 1/2 inches high.  And these are also magnetized to stay together.

Your Star Trek-themed kitchen wouldn't be complete without Star Trek characters drinking glasses.

The first set includes four 12 oz. drinking glasses with frosted and printed images from the 2009 Star Trek Movie.  Characters include Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and Nero.  They come in gift boxes, and they're 6" high and 2.75" diameter.

The second set includes four 16 oz drinking glasses of The Original Series cast, including the characters of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Scotty in full color, with a familiar quote from each character.

To keep both sets looking great, it is best to hand wash them.

Oh now, how can you resist this handsome Spock Cookie Jar?  This ceramic cookie jar from Westland Giftware, is another officially licensed collectible, and will look great on your countertop.   And you can keep your favorite cookies inside this well-constructed and nicely painted realistic bust of Spock.  About 10 1/2" tall.  

It's the perfect logical choice of cookie jar for any Trekker or Trekkie!  Hand wash carefully.

If you're up for a little inspired Star Trek goofiness, take a look at the video....it also gives you a good idea of the size of the Spock Cookie Jar
