I've been craving hot dogs lately. With this I can steam my hot dogs instead of microwaving them like I usually do. It includes two heater spikes for toasting buns. If hot dogs aren't your thing, you can also steam veggies and make hard boiled eggs in the steamer. And strangest of all, you can make popcorn in it by putting oil in the reservoir instead of water.
This is not as space efficient as the collapsible colander, but it may be more practical. The legs open up to straddle the sink, stand upright, or fold closed for storage.
I don't quite understand how this works, but it supposedly cuts like any other scissor except it slices cheese with a stainless steel wire. Whatever. It looks scary.
Now you don't have to drink the whole bottle once you've opened it.
Using technology previously available only in commercial wine storage cabinets, our portable wine preservation steward greatly reduces oxidation in opened bottles by sealing the surface of the remaining wine with a layer of harmless inert argon gas. A temperature management system circulates cooled air around the bottle to keep preserved wine at an ideal serving temperature of your choosing between 45 degrees and 65 degrees Farenheit. Includes one argon cartridge that provides approximately 15 preservations. Includes status indicator light, quick-chill option for more rapid cooling of wines, temperature control, and chart showing ideal temperatures of varying wine types. High-impact polycarbonate. Black or Silver. Plugs into AC.
Forget that boring horizontal grilling; vertical is the way to go. You can cook gyros, kabobs, sausages, and poultry in this grill. The grill alternates heating to 120 degrees and cooling down (sounds like you don't want to use this if you are in a rush to eat). Supposedly results in tender and healthier meat. I don't think you want to try a hamburger on this grill, though. :-)
This is blasphemous to my mashed potato loving mother, aunt, and cousin, but I don't love mashed potatoes. It isn't even my third favorite way to eat potatoes--I prefer roasted, baked, and fried. And if you count potato chips, it isn't even my fourth favorite way to eat potatoes. But anyway, I may have to rethink just so I can get this cool masher.
I'm ready for summer to get here, so we can get the grill going. This looks like a good device for grilling corn. It is adjustable to hold different size corncobs and holds four at a time.
These are supposedly gentler than steel wool and biodegradable!
Safer and less abrasive alternative to steel wool. Use very little or no detergent to scrub dishes, pots & pans, stovetops, grills, broiling pans, ovens, sinks, bathtubs, kitchen or bathroom tile... Lasts a long time and does not break, tear or shed pieces which might otherwise remain on dishes or get into food. Biodegradable; will not rust or hurt your hands like steel wool. Works great on tea or coffee stains in teapots and cups! Use Sandclean to scrub your vegetables (carrots, potatoes, etc.) and retain important minerals.
Always wanted a dishwasher, but didn't think you had the space? This dishwasher is the size of a large microwave. It holds four placesettings. Plus it looks pretty cool.
I have so many pots that don't have lids. This claims to be the answer. The lid is offered in two sizes and should fit virtually any round pot or pan. Made with stainless steel and glass, it has concentric tiered rings to provide a secure fit on a variety of pan sizes.
Consisting of a stainless steel box lined with a flexible plastic material, this Eva Solo bread bin accommodates even the biggest of loafs. Smaller loafs and other baked products also comfortable house in this innovative bread bin with its beautifully soft curves. Good bread should be stored in a place which is neither too humid nor too dry, and the bread bin provides the optimum microclimate for prolonging its lifespan.
If you really want a baked potato, but your microwave and oven are occupied, what can you do? Well, if you have this pan, you can bake a potato on the stove.
These measuring spoons come with a built in leveler, for easy exact measurements. It has four spoons (1/4, 1/2, and 1 teaspoon, and 1 tablespoon) and a conversion chart is etched on the side of the leveling blade.

Bamboo is all the rage in cutting boards for the ecologically aware. Here is one that includes three interchangeable preparation bowls, so you can quickly cut and then separate your ingredients.
This seems a little ambitious for me, but if you like to make your own tortillas or flatbreads, this contraption can do it for you. Features include a durable press handle, nonstick cooking plates, and a ready light.
If you are tired with being notified your roast is done with a boring buuzzzzzzzzzzz, this may be the timer for you. The timer has a digital clock display that changes into a 99-minute timer. When the time is up, the blades whirl and it plays an assortment of 1970's game-show jingles. Nothing says "times up" like a 1970's game show!
Next to macaroni and cheese, meatloaf is the ultimate comfort food. But it definitely isn't healthy. The product description for this pan claims it makes a healthier meatloaf. The top pan allows the fat to drip through the holes. The bottom pan is a basic, nonstick 5-1/2-by-10-1/2-inch bread or loaf pan.

These serving bowls are cute. The bowls sit on a wooden base at an angle, so the food is easier to serve. (Though it doesn't look like they hold much.) It comes with a serving spoon as well.
Summer is coming. The barbeque will soon be out. These salt and pepper shakers are especially designed for barbequing. The long handles allow you to sprinkle salt and pepper on your meat or veggies without getting burnt. Then you can unscrew the handles and use the salt and pepper shakers at the table.

Tired of grilling with boring straight skewers? Try out this curved skewer. The curve allows it to fit nicely on a plate, though it looks like you could only get one skewer per plate.
Here is another oven that is probably smarter than me. I'm really not sure I approve. With this oven, you identify the type of food you are cooking and the oven will automatically select the proper operating mode. You can also store recipes in it. It also has metric/English conversion and 17 operating modes, including AutoRoast, Intensive Bake, & Sabbath.
Here is another gadget that just makes a lot of sense. This whisk has a thermometer built in, so you can tell the temperature of whatever you are stirring.

Kim and the staff at CheapFunWines.com love wine. There is little in life that’s more fun for them than pouring a new wine or revisiting an old favorite.
What they don’t love is wine snobbery. At www.CheapFunWines they'll promise to write about wine in plain English and make fun of people who don’t. That said, they don't profess to be a wine experts. They're totally wine beginners - each with a keen sense of smell, a decent palate, a passion to learn, and a sense of humor.
