Top Chef's have been using a Culinary Laser Thermometer for years in their kitchens to precisely take the temperature of cooking surfaces before putting food on a hot surface. This avoids burning, undercooking and sticking to the pan. The BonJour Culinary Laser Thermometer Guide takes the guess work out of vague cooking terms such as sear, simmer and saute.

When it's time for some monkey business, put this cute little guy to work. The funky monkey peeler features ergonomic design with textured grip that only a monkey can deliver.
Part mixer, part blender, a kitchen machine tries to do the majority of kitchen tasks all in one kitchen contraptions. We've been researching whether to buy a built-in or a stand alone. We think the built in kitchen machine does look amazing, but when the motor burns out - or we need it fixed - will there be someone to come help us out. Who knows - but we really like the concept.

KitchenAid Mezzaluna - Do the Half Moon Kitchen Chop
A Mezzaluna is a chopping instrument consisting of a single or double curved blade with a handle on each end. They are often used for chopping herbs. Mezzaluna is the Italian name - meaning Half Moon after the rough shape of the blade. We use one all the time for garlic and other herbs like rosemary. This one has a really nice holster it fits into, and should help avoid cutting yourself when you pick it up from the drawer in your kitchen. The end of it also looks designed to scrape the cut up herbs into a bowl or dish for cooking.
We have a mixer and have used a variety of non-successful methods to keep the bowl clean when making cookies or dough. The SideSwipe Mixer Blade was created for head-tilt stand mixers which adds silicone fins that keep the sides of the bowl scrapped clean, and helps prevent wasted dough. For only $25 bucks you can add it to your arsenal of kitchen stuff, and versions for bowl-lift KitchenAids, Cuisinart, and Kenwood mixers are expected next year.
Breth Air Revitalizer - Breathe Some Fresh Air in the Kitchen
We've been using the Smellkiller to rid ourselves of kitchen smells, but it's nice to see a product breathe a breath of fresh air into the smell killing world of the kitchen. The brethe™ air revitalizer removes up to 99% of odor causing bacteria, and features an all natural odor removal system. We're not sure how it filters the air - given there's no filter, but at least there's three 2.03 fluid ounce scents included: Refreshing Citrus, Energizing Lime and Soothing Vanilla. Also there's a soothing blue light that adds ambiance to any environment while the smell fades.
We need an Egg Cracker in our messy egg cracking lives. It seems that every time we make anything egg related, the shells end up in the whites, the yolks, and those shells end up in the final cooked products. Not sure why we are so egg cracking challenged, but we are. This egg cracker is pretty easy to use - you put an egg in it and press it shut, then the yolk and whites come out, leaving the shell behind where it's supposed to be.
