What's cooler than a toaster oven? How about the Koolatron Total Chef Oven. It combines infrared heat, conduction and convection in one convenient appliance. Infrared heat cooks your food from the inside out while hot air circulates, cooking from the outside in, sealing in the juices and leaving a crispy outer layer. This patented technology cooks three times faster than a conventional oven, using 60% less energy.
I can't say I really understand how this crazy looking spatula works. But it is cute.
This Koziol Turner Spatula can scoop up eggs, steak, fried potatoes and anything else that sizzles in the saucepan. Its tongue doubles as a suction hook for hanging after use. Suitable for temperatures up to 428 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you are really ambitious, you can make your own whole grain flour with this solid wood flour mill. The mill has three grinding capacities--superfine, fine, and course--and a 2.4 lb hopper capacity.
mmmmmm. . . froth . . . . If you want some frothy milk for your cappuccinos or hot chocolate, this automatic frother whips 1/2 cup to 1 1/2 cups of milk in about 3 minutes. It also has a flavor hatch to allow you to add flavor to the froth.

This Gourmet Series cutting board is an everyday surface that you can leave on your counter top. Prepare meat and seafood, chop fruits and vegetables or slice bread. You can also flip it over and utilize its juice groove on the other side if needed.
Grow your own lemons in your kitchen. This lemon tree is planted in a terra cotta pot and supposedly produces meyer lemons all year round. Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons. I like the idea of it, but I do not have a green thumb and would kill the plant in days.
I've never gotten in to the whole crockpot thing, but I know people who swear by it. This slow cooker cooks up to 10 hours and automatically shifts to warming when the time is up. It has five cooking settings: simmer, low, high, auto and buffet, and the shape allows you to cook a roast in it.
If you've got some major steaming to do, this steamer can up to 24 quarts of food. It comes with a stainless steel steam basket and divider with cool touch handles. The divider allows you to steam different foods separately at the same time.
Is it bigger than a bread bag? These 100% cotton bags are designed to serve bread. The bag can be unfolded to hold tall loafs or folded down for small breads and muffins. And the lip of the bag has a magnet, so you can close the top to keep your bread fresh.
This works as both a griddle and an indoor grill. It comes with two sets of interchangeable nonstick grill and griddle plates. You use the flat plates as a panini press or griddle and the ridged plates for contact or open grilling.
Need a gift for someone just starting out? This 6 piece stainless steel kitchen essentials set from Oxo includes some basic gadgets to get started in the kitchen. The set includes a swivel peeler, can opener, grater, pizza wheel, lever Ice cream scoop, and potato masher.
Crack nuts, I will. For decorative purposes only, this is. So a kitchen gadget, it is not. But being the wife and mother of Star Wars fans, mention it, I had to. Limited addition, this nutcracker is. Made by Steinback of Germany, it is. Addictive, this talking like Yoda is.
I made and decorated a large batch of Christmas cookies this weekend, and I was exhausted when I finished. I could have used this to help. The BonJour cookie factory has a motor to dispense cookie dough at the touch of a button. The 39-piece set includes: a jumbo cookie barrel, a traditional cookie barrel, 10 large cookie discs, 15 traditional cookie discs, 10 decorating and filling tips, and a recipe booklet.
Black & Decker Double-Decker Flavor-Scenter Food Steamer
We use our steamer almost every night. This steamer allows you to steam two things at once. It includes two 3-1/2-quart cooking bowls, plus a 7-cup rice-cooker bowl that fits in either chamber. It also has a built-in flavor-scenter screen to spice up your steamed fish, chicken, or vegetables.
Those rolling pizza cutters don't always cut through the whole crust without a lot of effort. These scissors are designed to make a clean cut through thick or then pizza crust. When you are done cutting, you can use it as a serving spatula.
I like my knives to be pretty :-). This stainless steel knife and scissor set comes in blue, orange, or pink. The blades are fluorinated-resin, high-carbon stainless steel.
It is a potato peeler shaped to look like a bird. Cute and functional! The stainless steel blade peels vegetables and the pointed beak removes potato eyes.
I love a cheese filled tortilla. Yum. Yum. I didn't think it was difficult to make a quesadilla the old fashioned way, but this makes it even easier. The quesadilla maker cooks the quesadillas in 4 to 5 minutes. The nonstick cooking plates hold tortillas up to 12 inches in diameter and divides the tortilla into six manageable pieces.
These would make a nice holiday gift for the milkshake lover on your gift list. A set of four 12 oz. glasses includes four colors: lime, pink, orange, and aqua.
I've seen round whisks and ball wisks, but this is a new variation on the whisk. This stainless steel whisk has a triangle shape, which is designed to grab stuff from the bottom and corners of the bowl.
Do you have an animal lover on your gift list? This set of 26 glasses has an engraving of an unusual animal for letter of the alphabet. Never heard of the Dunky? Looks like a sheep to me, but dunky is a much funnier name.
These would be great for a holiday party. These wood tapas plates are designed to sit on top of a wine glass, so you can eat and mingle at the same time. They fit any wine glass from 2" to 3" in diameter.
Instead of taking up room in your cupboard with a blender and a food processor (like I do), this Cuisinart Duet combines the two. It comes with a blending jar and a work bowl, which can both be used on the same base. The jar holds 40 ounces and the work cup holds three cups.
