Cast Iron Bottle Openers
With these bottle openers, you can pretend that you are cracking open a beer after a hard day fixing pipes. The cast iron bottle openers come in the shape of tools--one looks like a wrench, the other like pliers.

Chef'n Oilwand
This is a great idea. The wand stores oil in the bulb. Squeeze the bulb and the bulb releases oil to the heat resistant silicone brush, so you can baste. It also has a base for storage.

Regal Ware KPW9500 Juice Dispenser
I think this is meant for big parties or banquet halls, but how cool would it be to have your own juice dispenser? The center column is hollow, so you can fill it with ice to keep the juice cool. It holds 8.5 quarts.

Chicago Metallic Professional Perforated French Bread Pan
I love a crusty French bread. This heavy-gauge steel pan makes two loaves of French bread. The perforations in the curved holders promote a crisp crust and even browning. In addition, the pan has a nonstick surface.

REVIEW: Gel Pro Chef's Mat
We received one of these gel mats for review and have been very impressed. The mat is designed to help people with low back pain, foot pain, and heel pain. The difference between standing on it and standing on the hardwood floor is amazing. I didn't realize how hard the floor was until we got this mat.
The mat has also been very tough, withstanding lots of stuff dropped on it. It is easy to clean up and isn't hideous to look at. According to the website, they are lots of colors and style varieties.
If you have back or foot problems and do a lot of standing in your kitchen, this mat will definitely help.

Lotus Sanitizing System for the Bacteria Impaired
You can now rid your fruit and other things you want to eat with the Lotus Sanitizing System system. Frankly, I'm tired of itchy mouth from pesticides on my fruit, and having them uber clean is a pretty interesting option. Using ozone-infusion, this countertop system converts tap water into a chemical-free sanitizer that neutralizes up to 99% of pesticides and bacteria on produce and even meats. It also turns your tap water into an odorless, chemical-free household sanitizer and deodorizer—just use the included spray bottle and cleaning cloths. When it’s working, the LCD screen shows the system’s progress (time left and percentage completed so far). I'm thinking their won't be any Resident Evil like zombie outbreaks in our kitchen if we get this gem.

Fry the Perfect Chicken Finger - Presto FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer
I had a Fry Daddy growing up. I'm pretty sure it got more use than any other cooking gadget I remember. We used to make perfectly fried chicken fingers, fillets of smallmouth bass, and french fries (which I would later put maple syrup on - YUM).
The Presto Fry Daddy Deep Fryer can handle all of these frying issues and this family-sized fryer makes four big servings with just four cups of oil. The proper frying temperature is automatically maintained, and the handy scoop stirs, separates, lifts, drains, and serves. My mom would be so proud I'm featuring this...I miss you so Fry Daddy - Mommy.

Is there anything better than bread fresh from the oven? Yum. This unglazed stoneware baguette baker captures the moisture of the bread dough and simulates a steamy brick oven. The pan can also be used for meat and fish.

Classic Family Fun - West Bend 82306 Stir Crazy 6-Quart Popcorn Popper
We tend to use a little olive oil in a pot on the top of the stove, but the problem with that is the kids never get to see the popcorn popping. When I was a kid we had one of these popcorn poppers you can see through, and I think the West Bend 82306 Stir Crazy 6-Quart Popcorn Popper hits the classic family popcorn popping mark.
West Bend has improved on the classic corn popper design by adding a motorized stirring rod which ensures that every single kernel pops, every time. In about five minutes, the Stir Crazy Popper produces up to 6 quarts of perfectly popped corn, using one tablespoon of oil per 1/4 cup corn. The plastic cover doubles as a serving bowl, so when the cycle is done, just flip it over to enjoy popcorn with the family or that special someone on the couch.

French Fry and Potato Chip Maker of the Future
With the Tefal ActiFry, you can make french fries with less fat and less oil. Place up to a kilo of freshly cut chips into the cooking pan, then measure your preferred oil with the scoop provided, pour it over, and set the timer. Patented technology circulates hot air around your fries, whilst the mixing paddle evenly disperses the oil. The result is chips that are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with only 3% fat content.
- The Actifry can also be used for cooking frozen chips, scampi, chicken drumsticks, stir-fried vegetables and lots more besides – recipe book included
- An odourless filter keeps your kitchen fresh, and you can check on progress through the viewing window
- Everything except the base can go into the dishwasher, and of course there’s no oil to filter after frying.

It also has a warming compartment for warming bread or side dishes while dinner is cooking. It has two cooking racks and four cooking positions and has a programmable, digital control panel with custom settings.

Roll & Store Pin
I'm not sure how good this would be as a rolling pin, but the idea is a good one. It doubles as a storage bin for cookie cutters. The rolling pin comes with nine cookie cutters in the shape of a star, a bunny rabbit, a heart, a duck, a boy, a girl, a butterfly, and a shamrock. You need to fill the rolling pin with ice to keep it from sticking to the dough.
