Bradley Smokers
Wow. Our smoker is much less high tech than this, but it looks like it can do a lot more than ours can.
This electric smoker will allow you to cold-smoke, hot-smoke, barbecue and slow roast. Ingenious smoke-without-fire technology lets you cold-smoke tender ribs, prepare delicious smoked fish, slow roast pork and more. For cold-smoking it uses flavor bisquettes that feed automatically and burn for 20 minutes before being extinguished and replaced by another. 572 sq. in. of cooking surface. Can run for up to 8 hours without supervision.

This pitcher is made with Namb metal, which supposedly keeps the temperature of the liquid without the use of ice or heat. You place the pitcher freezer before serving cold drinks or you can add hot water to the pitcher to increase before serving hot drinks. The handle remains cool to the touch no matter what liquid is inside.

Review: Smellkiller Stainless Steel Hand Soap and Air Cleaner
We've been looking for a stainless steel hand soap to get rid of that nasty garlic smell after making legs of lamb lately. Having seen quite a few different options online, we stopped into our local hardware store only to find exactly what we were looking for - the Smellkiller Stainless Steel Hand Soap and Air Cleanser.
Now you're probably wondering - how does stainless steel soap remove odors on your hands or even in the air? It neutralizes them or breaks the molecules of odor upon contact, or if you use the rubber bowl that's included and a little water, it will remove odors from the air. Does it work? Well...

Zak Set of 4 Measuring Cups

All-Clad Stainless-Steel Fondue Pot
I associate fondue with winter, but I guess it could be a spring or summer thing too.
Manufactured with an aluminum core for efficient, uniform heating, this gleaming 18/10 stainless-steel pot comes with a ceramic insert that makes it ideal for both savory and sweet fondues. Remove the insert when cooking meat fondues in oil; leave it in place for melting chocolate and cheese without scorching. The sturdy tripod stand holds the sterno burner and provides stability. Six color-coded stainless-steel forks are included. The stainless-steel lid has slots that hold the forks upright so foods are spaced evenly around the pot for uniform cooking.

Le Creuset Wok with Lid
I didn't know Le Creuset made woks, but here one is.
This wok combines the genius of the original Chinese design with the beauty and performance of French enameled cast iron. The shallow sloping shape features a matte interior that allows cooked food to cling to the sides while you finish cooking in the hot center. You can fry, saute, boil, steam, or braise in it, then bring it to the table for serving.
The tight-fitting lid forms the perfect seal for gentle cooking and optimum flavor. Use Le Creuset on gas, electric, induction, and ceramic-top ranges and in the oven (the phenolic knobs and handles are oven-safe to 450 degrees F.).
