Honey Jar w/ Silicone Spoon

This puts a modern spin on the old honey jar. The sleek jar includes a honey spoon made out of silicone, so the honey won't stick to the spoon, making it easy to drizzle over food or in your tea.

Umbra Cooknook Cookbook Holder

I had a cookbook holder, but I stopped using it because it was very unwieldy. I really like this idea. The holder attaches under the kitchen cabinet and swings out when needed. The front ledge holds the pages back and also is magnetic, so you can attach other recipes to it. When you are done, the cookbook holder folds back under the cabinet.

QOOQ - Recipe and Kitchen Computer

The QOOQ is a kitchen computer and it comes with 10 recipes from chefs on video, and you might as well know up front - currently it's in French only. QOOQ also can connect to the internet over the Ethernet or Wifi, and you can even subscribe to monthly updates for more recipes on video. There is also a meal planner and a shopping list maker that will also help before the cooking. Oddly enought QOOQ doesn't have an Internet Browser, but it can be used to update recipes, get weather information, internet radio stations, and can also be used as a digital picture frame.
Sounds perfect for our kitchen, though currently we've been enjoying our Squeezbox Radio. Also - it's tough to make the transition to a device that stores recipes when all of our recipes are snipped from Cooking Light, and other magazines. Time will tell if the kitchen computer catches on, but if they can bridge the gap and get our offline recipes online - we'll be a taker.

Kuhn Rikon Baking and Ice Cream Scoop

We received this baking and ice cream scoop from Kuhn Rikon to review. I used it this weekend to make cookies. It worked great for scooping up the cookie dough. The squeeze handle was a little tight, but my 5 year old could do it as long as she used both hands. And the cookie dough released very easily onto the cookie sheet. It can also be used for ice cream or meatballs. It comes three sizes.

Safe Slice - Never Cut Your Hand Again Chopping Vegetables

Safe Slice helps you safely grip and chop fruits, vegetables, and other food, keeping your fingers out of harm's way. Soft finger grips provide comfort while you hold food and solid protective shield keeps your fingers protected from the blade. Given how many times a year we get ourselves, it's nice to have a gadget that could prevent slicing off our fingers.

This juicer is cool looking and practical. The juicer is slanted, so the juice runs off to the end and the seeds get caught in the teeth.

Pyrex Digital Timer - Turn and Time

We've been using this rather simple yet amazing timer for over the past week (see us using it at Single Serve Coffee in a recent review), and are wondering why someone didn't invent this timer sooner. Well - Pyrex did. Yes the same company that makes all those dishes makes this digital timer and clock. How does it work? Simply twist to set the PYREX Digital Timer by twisting the dial and pushing down. We love how small yet big the button is - that's because the entire face is the button you push down.
- Single-push on/off
- Built-in magnets for fridge mounting
- Large face dial for easy reading
- Repeating alarm until turned off
