Sub-Zero Pro 48 Freezer
Perhaps if you have a lot of food to store, this is the refrigerator for you. Frankly, I don't know why you would possibly want a window in your refrigerator, so people can see the mess inside. Basicially, this has just about every feature you could want and should store enough food for the largest of families. All for a mere 15K to 20K.

Tongs with Serrated Edge
These tongs look very scary, but according to the product description, once you use them, you won't be able to do without them. They are supposedly ideal for handling meat and vegetables as well as for picking up ice cubes, olives, cooked pasta, and delicate fruit.

Measuring Prep Bowls
Awhile ago I saw some great mixing bowls in a store that had measurements inside the bowl, which makes perfect sense. These aren't them, but they are the closest I can find. These bowls measure 1/8 cup to 2 cups, and each bowl has full and half bowl measurements on the interior and exterior.

Mini Micro Mitts
The pattern on these mitts isn't to my taste, but I think they are a really good idea. I'm always struggling with a huge oven mitt to remove my bowl of oatmeal from the microwave and end up getting the mitt in the oatmeal. The mitts include built-in magnets, so you can hang them on the side of the microwave when you aren't using them.

Wine 'n Dine
These crack me up. Designed to prevent the problem of trying to hold a wine glass and a plate at the same time, the stem of the glass fits into the slot on the plate. The plates are acrylic and the glass are molded of high-clarity polycarbonate. Both are dishwasher safe. It is probably better than balancing your glass on top of your plate, which I have done more than once.

Mini Kitchen Measure
This mini measurer is better for measuring liquids than measuring spoons. Or you can use it as a shot glass and keep track of exactly how much you've had to drink. It has four scales: tablespoons, teaspoons, millileters, and ounces.

Fruit Muddler
Is there anything better than a mojito at the end of a warm summer day? I think not. Plus muddling is fun. This gadget is especially designed for muddling fruit for cocktails. The tip mimics the curves of limes and lemons to extract their juices while griping the fruit for slip-proof muddling. Yum. Now if only it would stop raining, so we could enjoy our mojitos outdoors.

Media Range Hood
First you could watch tv in your refrigerator, now your range hood can provide you with your media needs while cooking. This hood is equipped with a 17" LCD screen and DVD and CD player. It has a 4 point control system with airflow from 210 to 800 cubic meters per hour, whatever that means. As you can probably tell by the picture of a soccer game on the tv, the hood is only sold in Europe.

This bread server is also a cutting board and a knife holder. The handle is actually a knife that you can slide out when you are ready to start slicing. There are also groves in the board to tell you where to cut, so you can make sure your cuts are even. The knife is secured in the board with a magnet.

Home Ball Park Hot Dog Grill
I'm constantly amazed at how many products there are for making hot dogs. You could almost have a whole website on just hot dog makers. This one allows you to make four jumbo rotisserie hot dogs in your own home in 8 to 10 minutes. It also has two stainless steel spikes that heat the buns and a removable oil tray for easy cleanup.

Electric Salt & Pepper Mill
We just bought these salt and pepper mills from Williams-Sonoma. We have the worst luck with pepper mills--they never last long in our house--maybe we over pepper everything. Anyway, so far so good. You press the button on the top and it automatically dispenses peppercorns or sea salt. You can adjust the courseness, but I can't see a huge difference between the finely ground and the course grind. It also has a light, so you can grind in the dark--so far I haven't had a use for that.
