These are a cute set of grinders from Bodum, a name I trust for quality kitchen products. The Peppino Salt & Pepper Grinder Set ($14.99) have great blades - carbon steel for pepper, never in need of sharpening, ceramic for salt, to grind without becoming corroded. Grinds are adjustable.
They are not usually sold in […]

I don’t think you can get more odd than these self-shaking salt and pepper shakers from calliope. Simply pull the cord and tip and it will do all the work for you.
On sale for $9.95, a cute gag gift. But if you’re this lazy, you have trouble.

Palm Graters are the greatest cheese grater revolution, ever. Grating cheese is just so annoyingly messy and tedious. With these graters, you have a built in, perfect size cup to catch the cheese, and, in the case of the one shown, a little ledge so not too much cheese flips over the side.
You can […]

I received the Cuisipro Accutec Dual Grater recently, as one of the items on my Wedding Registry. One of the first presents to come in! It was really very exciting.
Well, we put it to the test this week. Technically the dual ends are for fine grating (citrus, spices, etc), and coarse grating (chocolate, hard cheese).
Well, […]

Ok, I was a weird kid, but I just loved to slice eggs with our egg slicer. I guess I was an early fan of Cooking Gadgets? hehe
Anyway, this is by far the sexiest egg slicer I’ve seen, from KitchenAid
Of course, being from KitchenAid, I’m sure it works a heck of a lot more reliably, […]

This garlic chopper looks so much easier to use than a traditional garlic press. Easier on the hands, I would say. Plus, I like that you don’t have to scrap half the clove in the mess of pressing it. (If you can’t tell, I really dislike our garlic press)
This tool makes chopping garlic quick and […]

The Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker is a product recommended by Tim Flight, a fellow b5 media blogger.
This is what Tim has to say:
"I’m addicted to popcorn, I’ll admit it. Popcorn is probably popped four times per week in my home, and has been since I was a little kid. I’ve tried many different ways […]

Wine bottle openers. Confusing topic, isn’t it? Can’t say I’m an expert, but I really do think they’re getting more complicated than they need to be! I’ve seen some so big they need their own stand! Well, let’s put that aside. We know how to make smaller more powerful gadgets, right?
Well, apparently we do!
The Indispensable […]

These Acrylic Citrus Squeezers are colorful and handy at the same time. It would seem there is a trend to squeezing a wedge only of citrus.
Don’t let the citrus colors and generally sunny disposition fool you. This is one hard worker—extracting all the juice (without the seeds) in one smooth motion.
•Acrylic with stainless steel […]

Always handy, always cheerful, always unobtrusive - the flower Magnetic Bottle Opener
Now, I’m not the biggest fan of flowers, but these do impress me in their simplicity.
Keep this bottle opener handy on the fridge, stove or filing cabinet, even on the tailgate! Six super-strong magnets cling tightly to any metal surface.
