Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid 24-Piece Food Storage Containers
You can simply not have enough storage. We put stuff away after each dinner now to make lunches for the kids, and that entails two sets of different storage bins as one of our two children has food allergies. We really like these rubbermaid sets as you get two 1/2-, 1-1/4-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 7-cup food-storage containers with matching lids. They have super-clear bases allow for better visibility of inside contents, and the lids snap together and to base bottoms which makes a totally space-efficient design for storing. The storage of the storage is key. We simply didn't have enough space until we got these rubbermaid containers and stored them in our "storage drawer".
Contemporary Kitchen Microwave Cart with Drop Leaves - Free Standing Kitchen Fun
We think of the rolling microwave cutting board cart as one of the first free standing kitchens. We don't currently have room for such a cart in our kitchen, but if you do - it's a think of beauty. We used to have one and would roll it out and put all the h'orderves on it when having parties. It's a also great to set a slow cooker on.
This practical contemporary kitchen cart has two drop leaves, one on each side, providing room for food preparation and also helping to minimize the space it needs when not in use. The working drawer provides storage for utensils. Dishes, pots, or glasses can be conveniently stored in the cabinet with two doors. This mobile kitchen cart can be eaily moved when needed with the smart and functional casters, and like we said rolled out at parties.
It's time for a brain freeze! Perfect for parties, and special occasions like freezing your friends brains, this ice mold makes well - frozen brains. The brain freeze ice cubes are sure to impress that special brain loving person in your life.
See Through Refrigerator - Clear Door Reveals Goodies
Designers Yoonjung Kim and Jongrok Lee have designed a concept refrigerator that allows users to see what's stored inside without opening the door. With the touch of a finger, the glass door turns from frosty blue to see through. This concept would save lots of energy for those who love to browse. You know - you don't have to have some fancy frost changing glass either - how about just a door for the door - like a sliding door that reveals the food? It does however preclude now having stuff on the door like ketchup.
Cra - Z - Art Super Donut Maker - Time to Make the Crazy Donuts
With this donut maker you can make your own delicious donuts with chocolate , strawberry, jelly and vanilla frostings. The maker creates filled and holed Donuts as well as Donut Balls in safe microwave trays, and no batteries are needed. The mixes are included, and from the reviews the results are a bit more cupcake like than donuts.
Taylor 9842 Commercial Waterproof Digital Thermometer
We use our waterproof digital thermometer all the time - mostly for knowing the right temperature to brew different teas at. It's also really great for knowing when that roast or turkey is done. The probe is made of a stainless-steel stem, and comes with an antibacterial storage and carrying sleeve. Temperature range of -40 to 450 degrees F so you can run the gambit on just about anything sans lava.

All-Clad Cast Aluminum 5 1/2 Quart Dutch Oven with Two Oven Mitts
We just got this dutch oven that was included as part of a larger set of stainless steel pots and pans we got from All Clad. This set includes an All-Clad Cast Aluminum 5-1/2-quart Dutch oven with stainless steel lid and two All-Clad red cotton oven mitts. We made a pretty groovy soup last night, and the dutch oven did the trick - heating evenly and was easy to clean up. The dutch oven is also ideal for making delicious braised meats in the oven while also being versatile enough to simmer soups and stews on the stovetop like we did last night. We're anxious to try a slow cooked chicken in it this weekend - should be delicous.
Hamilton Beach 500 Watt Wavestation Express Dispensing Blender

Diamond Shaped Ice Mold - Bring Bling to Your Drinks
I like diamonds and I really like diamonds in my drinks. This Diamond Ice Mold does the trick by allowing you to make a rather large "rock" and put said rock in your drink. Imagine making a giant picture of margaritas filed with diamond ice? I can.
Protect your fingers while chopping! This shield slips on to the middle finger, leaving fingers protected, but still free to manipulate the food. The tip of the shield holds the food the food in place while you chop
We're pretty big fans of something different in a coffee mug, and this integration of a chalkboard middle fits the bill. You can leave notes on either the mug or jug, and it'll be beneficial for learning kids to practice their alphabet or spellings right on their drink.
Having made a few cherry pies in our day with pit removal being a pain, it's nice to find this pit remover from Oxo. The Splatter Shield protects your work area from juices and removes for cleaning. The sturdy, die-cast zinc construction removes pits with ease by pushing the pit right out the bottom. The generous cherry holder accommodates large cherries like Bing and Rainier, and is recessed to secure smaller varieties. And if you're worried about having this in the kitchen with kids - it locks closed for convenient storage and safety.
It's funny because we're not sure when the electric skillet left our kitchen, but we used to use one when we had an apartment all the time. We really like this powerful, environmentally friendly electric skillet because it lets you sear, fry, griddle, simmer or braise using a ceramic-based nonstick surface that’s petroleum-free and contains no PTFE or PFOA. The big thing about an electric skillet is you can typically make an entire meal right in it, and add ingredients as you cook to make a sizable meal for 3-4 people easily.
14"-round cooking surface provides more than 150 sq. in. of space.
Heat disperses evenly across the entire surface for consistent browning.
Nonstick surfaces are easy to clean.
Six temperature settings: warm, 250°F, 300°F, 350°F, 400°F and 450°F.
An indicator light turns off when the set temperature is reached.
The tempered-glass lid makes it easy to monitor cooking progress.
Transfer Cutting Board - Move the Cuttings to Another Place
The Transfer Cutting Board from Chris and Ruby makes the age old problem of moving your cut foods from the cutting board to the plate a bit easier. The cutting board has a round cutout for plates and is raised up slightly allowing the plate to slide right under for food transfer. We'd like to see have an adjustable set of feet underneath the cutting board to allow for larger bowls, salads, and other things besides plates, as we usually transfer to the final place or smaller prep bowls.
We really like this 15-bar pump-driven espresso machine with durable stainless-steel boiler, that features 2 thermostats for separately controlling water and steam pressure. It also has a self-priming operation; accommodates E.S.E. pods and ground espresso. The adjustable swivel jet frother looks like it will whip up a nice latte, and the removable 35-ounce water tank is large enough to reduce trips to the faucet.
Measures 7-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 11-1/8 inches; 1-year warranty
