We like to walk tall and shoot our salad straight, and that's why we're interested in this crazy kitchen gadget - a salad shooter. The Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder 114-watt professional-model electric slicer/shredder will mow through a cucumber and slice it into your salad while shooting it into place in seconds. It features a large food chamber, and adjustable food guide that adapts to large or small loads. We're not sure how far it will shoot, but we're guessing it's at least across a large salad bowl.

I currently don't have a funnel and I curse that fact every time I bake. This stainless steel funnel has a wide mouth to easily allow either liquids or solids, like sugar, flour, or grains, to flow through.

We've been using this OXO CorkPull and Bottle Opener Set for over two weeks, and wine opening has never been easier. The set combines two useful tools in an one set. The CorkPull fits right over the end of your wine bottle and with a very easy to use soft grip, you just turn and turn until the cork is out. Then you turn it to have it expel the wine cork. The Bottle Opener is also really well made - the cast steel ring pops off bottle caps and beer tops with ease. Also each opener can stand on its end, making it easy to leave where you last used it.

I love my microplane grater. It makes grating cheese and zesting so easy. But mine is a boring black color. Now you can get them in a variety of fun colors. I like the orange one.

This cool marinater has the pump built right into the top. The Presorvac Marinater is a state-of -the-art vacuum seal and patent pending cycling system that quickly and automatically boosts the flavor and enhances the texture of beef, poultry, fish, seafood, vegetables, fruits as well as other foods in minutes. The Presorvac Marinater cycle begins with the vacuum pump drawing most of the air out of the base to create a perfect seal. This is followed by the release of the seal to draw air and pressure back into the base. During the cycling process, the bottom of the base gently expands, stretching the fibers of food to enhance tenderization and full absorption of the marinade. The cycle repeats automatically for approximately five minutes before shutting off.

We've had the pleasure over the past few weeks of using Stirr from uutensil. What seems like a gimic (come on - you can't watch your soup) has turned into a real treat when it comes to lunch time. We often eat lentil soup at lunch time, and prefer it over a hot stove to microwaving it with radiation. We also often get interrupted in the Kitchen Contraptions test kitchen, thus leading to burned on the bottom soup. That's where Stirr comes in - made with silicone feet on the bottom that vibrate thus making it turn and stir, Stirr is a stirring wonder. It's basically an automatic kitchen helper that comes with 3 settings, so no matter how thick the soup or sauce - Stirr gets the job done.
We love it - and think you should check it out for your stove top needs. Can you say easy risotto? We can now that we have Stirr.

That's right folks - there's a Jerky Gun included. What? The NESCO Jerky Xpress home jerky maker includes everything you need to make homemade jerky -- just add ground beef, turkey or venison.

That all sounds impressive, but we need to know more about this Jerky Gun - anyone? Anyone?

Tired of getting olive or pickle fingers while you reach into the jar for the perfect snack? The Fridge Fork hopes to eliminate the need to put your fingers in so you can easily get that pickle out of the jar. It attaches directly to any pickle jar, so it will always be there in a pickle crisis. It can be purchased online for $5.99, and we think we might need multiple ones to ensure they get cleaned after the jar is empty.
