Rival 22qt Roaster Oven - Perfect Roast Turkey for the Holidays

We're soon heading south to the relatives for the Holidays, and we're thinking we need to invest in a roaster. The oven gets overwhelmed, and our Aunt Connie used to have one of these in Indiana before becoming a snowbird thus making the making of the sacred turkey much easier. We think the Rival 22qt Roaster in Stainless Steel will fit the bird of our desires - as it fits up to a 22 Pound Turkey. Stainless Steel Roaster Oven Body, plus a removable Enamel-on-Steel Roasting Pan, plus it features a lid rest. Birds don't that brown in a roaster - but they do stay moist. Can't wait to see if we can find a roaster when we arrive next week.

PBeaba BabyCook - Make Your Own Babyfood and Save Money

Baby food is expensive, and there's the other bit of not knowing exactly what's in there. The Beaba Babycook is a one-of-a-kind, patented compact countertop appliance that functions as a steamer, blender, warmer and defroster to prepare fresh, healthy meals for baby - thus you can now make your own baby food.
It starts by steam cooking vegetables, fruits and meats in less than 15 minutes, while preserver their vitamins and flavors. It then purees and blends them to the desired consistency. Parents can also use the Babycook to quickly reheat or defrost precooked foods. The bowl is made from unbreakable Polysulfone (PSU) and the cooking basket from transparent polypropylene (PP). It comes with a 2½ - cup capacity bowl, cooking basket, spatula and recipe booklet. The bowl and basket are top-rack dishwasher safe.
We think this is a great alternative to a blender, strainer, food processor - you name it. Sometimes having a dedicated device such as this for the year you'll need it and then for the following kids is well worth the money.

Lobster Taser - Time to Taser the Lobsters

The lobster taser which looks like a giant lobster panini press or photocopier stuns lobsters with 110 volts that delivers a shock immediately and effectively disabling said lobster's nervous system. You can then proceed with the boiling, baking, and or grilling. We remain committed to taking out any food we eat humanely, so we look forward to more lobster tasers in the future - maybe even a home model.
