Koolatron Z0100U Total Chef Oven
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.

Clay Pot Meyer Lemon Tree
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.

Yoda Nutcracker
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.

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.
