We love the look of this beautifully designed Capresso H2O Plus cordless water kettle with Silver Matte finish lid and slip-free textured handle.
The H2O Plus features a maintenance free, stainless steel covered dome heater and safety auto shut-off upon boiling or when kettle is lifted from base.
There are a million implements for chopping or mincing garlic, each one claiming to have the secret. Well, here is another. This tool minces the garlic into tiny dice. You place a peeled clove inside and twist the top.
I love ice cream sandwiches. With these molds you can make your own in the shape of a cow, pig, or chicken. Just bake a sheet of cookies and use the molds to cut the cookies while they are still warm. I suppose you could probably use any cookie cutters, but these are cute and come with a recipe and instructions. A perfect Fourth of July treat!
My mom is always trying to find the perfect scone recipe and then complaining about the scones that she ends up making. Maybe the answer would be this scone pan. It can be used in the oven, stovetop, or under the broiler. It makes eight scones, cornbread, polenta, or bisquits.
If you do a lot of cooking with ground beef, this could come in handy. The chopping blade breaks ground meat into pieces in the pan. It has a plastic blade that won't scratch non-stick cookware.
I could have used this last night as I stripped a corn for a salad. It takes the kernals clean off the cob and into your bowl. Plus it has a face. Shouldn't all your gadgets have a face?
These cute cookie cutters already have a bite taken out of them. Confuse your guests and keep all the cookies for yourself! The cookie cutters are made from cast aluminum with no seams or sharp edges.
Here are some fun appetizer plates. They come in mix and match colors and are made with twice-fired stoneware with a dipped glaze. They are dishwasher safe.
I've never made a beer can chicken, but my in-laws swear by it. This classes up the whole beer can angle with stainless steel tube to pour the beer into. And you don't have to use beer, you can use wine, marinade, orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice etc. The marinade will boil in the tube and keep your chicken moist on the inside while getting crispy on the outside.
This gadget is designed to help when baking layer cakes. You fasten the strips around the outside of the pan and the cake rises evenly, without a domed top. It works on 8", 9", or 10" round pans.
We've covered some of these separately, but here you can buy four essential pieces in a set. The set includes: a Professional Series Adjustable Teaspoon (replaces 5 measuring spoons), a Professional Series Adjustable Tablespoon (replaces 6 measuring spoons), 1/2 Cup Scoop, and a Pro Adjust-A-Cup (replaces 6 conventional measuring cups).
My daughter loves to stir her dad's coffee. But if you don't have someone like that around the house, and stirring is just to much for you, Hammacher Schlemmer has a self stirring mug. The mug has a battery-operated propeller at the bottom that spins at the touch of a button on the handle. It also has a lid that doubles as a coaster.
If you can't decide which flavor of ice cream you would rather make, this machine can help. It works automatically in your freezer, so it won't take up counterspace, and the top has sliding windows for add-ins.
I love the Pavina Double-Walled Coffee Mug. This is a ceramic cup with the same concept. It has an insulatating double wall so the cup is cool to the touch even with a hot beverage inside. It comes in a set of two.
Blogpire Productions Blogs Announce Investment in the Planet's Future with Green Tags
What can we say? We really thought our blogs should be a bit greener? As of today, we're going to buy enough Green Tags, also called renewable energy credits, from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, to offset the environmental impact from our hosting and computer operations for the coming year.
Green tags are an investment in the production of renewable energy sources through wind and solar power.

There are a lot of toasters on the market. Hammacher Schlemmer claims that this is the best four slice wide mouth toaster.
The 1,500-watt toaster has two independent rotary controls for simultaneous toasting of different breads or for different user setting preferences. It evenly toasts across the whole bread surface, and easily accommodates thin and thick slices, as well as bagels, frozen strudels, and frozen waffles. Eight browning settings and one defrost setting allow you to easily achieve your preferred toast level, and the unit has a removable warming tray for quickly heating rolls, muffins, and other items too large to fit inside w ithout drying. A bagel setting allows you to toast the cut side of a bagel while gently warming the crust side to produce the perfect bagel. Two high-lift levers have three lift positions to ensure toasted foods clear the top for easy retrieval, and a stop button halts any toasting cycle with one touch. Brushed stainless steel control panel wipes clean, and the warming tray is dishwasher safe to simplify cleaning.
Hmmmm . . . Is there anything this toaster can't do?
Salad dressing is usually so messy. This dressing shaker, however, has a pouring spout that supposedly catches drops before they fall on the table. It also has a tight fitting top, which retains the taste of your dressing. It is dishwasher and microwave safe.
If you aren't going to get a single serve coffee machine, then a thermal coffee maker is the way to go. Hammacher Schlemmer has rated this machine the best for the taste of coffee, ease of use, and carafe heat retention.
During the heat test, this model maintained over 90% of its peak temperature four hours after brewing. Ten cups of coffee can be brewed in six minutes, and a stop and serve feature allows the carafe to be removed to pour a cup during brewing without dripping. The stainless steel carafe has a wide 3 mouth for easy cleaning and keeps brewed coffee hot for hours without cooking the liquid as is common with many hot-plate coffee makers, thereby preserving the brews original fresh taste, with panelists commenting on the nice balance and smooth aroma and taste. It has a 24-h our programmable clock/timer and a 36" cord that conveniently stores away underneath the unit. Uses #2 or #4 cone-shaped filters. 15 1/2 H x 8 3/4 W x 10 1/2 D. (5 lbs.)
Here is a unique fruit bowl to class up your dining room table or kitchen counter. The hills and valleys hold the fruit and allow for air circulation. Made from polished stainless steel.

The exquisite Z. Island is equipped with numerous futuristic features such as embedded heating membranes, touch control panels, sound activators and scent dispensers, LED lighting and a multimedia entertainment system, including a flat screen and an Apple Macintosh Mini for serving iTunes.
This funny looking pair of scissors is specially designed to cut and process food in a bowl, making it easy to chop veggies and lettuce for a salad. It has an ergonomic handle, and the blades are stainless steel with micro-serrations that allegedly will never require sharpening.
If you are grilling ribs (yum), this rack can save you some space on the grill and make cleanup a little easier. It is 7 by 11, made out of nonstick metal, and holds five ribs.
After making a stinky meal, you need something to remove the odors. This odor-eliminator does not have a fragrance or harsh chemicals to make your kitchen smell like stinky food and perfume. Instead, it electrostatically attracts the molecules that form odors, captures them, and neutralizes them. The cyrstals will last 30-90 days depending on ambient airflow.
This waffle maker rotates 180 degrees while cooking to evenly brown each waffle. It makes one extra thick, deep-pocketed Belgian waffle at a time. It also has an audio signal and LED indicators.
I need this. I am forever buying fresh herbs and then having them go bad in the refrigerator because I only use a tablespoon every week or so. With this storage device, the herb stems are steeped in water, so they stay fresh and hydrated longer. You can put it on the counter or in the refrigerator.
At some point it is actually going to get hot here in the Northeast and I'll want something refreshing, like a popcycle, to cool off. These molds freeze the popcyles individually, so they are easy to remove from the mold. Plus they come in cool shapes and colors like: Rocket Pop Blue, Shooting Star Pop Green, and Groovy Pop Yellow. It includes six molds and a coordinating base.
You are having an outdoor party. You hate to have guests carry around the heavy plates and utensils from your kitchen, but plastic utensils and dinnerware are so tacky. What to do? This dinnerware set looks great and is plastic. It was designed by Phillippe Starck, and the set contains glassware, plates, and flatware. Another benefit: the plates have a horn like projection that the cups can fit into, allowing ease of movement throughout the backyard.
If I have a choice between soft serve and regular ice cream, I always choose regular. But some people, like my husband, love soft serve. This machine makes soft serve ice cream as well as fruit slushies and and frozen cocktails (now, I'm interested). It makes one quart or 8 to 10 cones.
We want to remind you that Father's Day is just around the corner. Actually it's next Sunday, but don't worry we've got you covered. Single Serve Coffee has a great Father's Day Gift Guide and so does Shaving Stuff with their Father's Day Specials. If you're really looking to impress Dad you might want to get him the ultimate TV remote. The Logitech Harmony Remote 628 - Universal Remote Control is nothing short of the best remote we've ever used and we think Dad will like it too. That's just some of the picks we've got for you from around the Blogpire. Visit our other sites below to find more deals and tales for your Dad on Father's Day.
If you are the type of person that regularly eats hot dogs, I doubt you are the type of person that wants to make your own hot dog buns. But just in case, here is a hot dog bun pan. It is non-stick steel and aluminum, and makes 8 full size hot dogs.
I love oranges, but I hate getting my hands all messy from peeling them. With this orange peeler, you score the peel into segments and then use the blade to remove the strips.
