We all do more than just cook in our kitchen. We often find ourselves opening lots of different mail in the kitchen, and then tossing the ones we don't like unschredded into the kitchen wastebasket. In this modern age of identity theft this is a very bad idea, and because of that products like Ziszor are coming to market.
The packaging and design for the Ziszor is excellent.
Ziszor is a personal schredder that allows you to stop dumpster diving thieves by using a shredder in the kitchen. We've written several articles on this before, but Ziszor is small and handheld compared to a traditional shredder, thus taking up less space wherever you need to shred.

Aerogrow is expanding and growing it's line of Aerogardens. There are going to be more models and some of them starting at just $99. We like the price point, and we love this kitchen contraption.
"The $99 AeroGarden 3 targets an entirely new category with an increased focus on flowers and home décor," said Michael Bissonnette, Founder and Chairman of AeroGrow. "For the first time, anyone can grow a beautiful, blooming flower garden right inside their home or office, any time of year. That's an important step for us, and takes us out of the kitchen to other rooms in the home, and into offices and cubicles as well. There are well over 40 million offices and cubicles in the U.S., and the ability to have a blooming garden that brightens, beautifies and brings life to that space is an overwhelming consumer benefit. As a result, we're seeing strong initial interest from both consumers and retailers, across a wide range of channels."
Also launching with the new gardens are more than 40 new herb, vegetable and flower seed kits and multiple accessory products.
Check out our earlier article on the Aerogarden and most of the models are available here.

We are forever making zucchini slices to put into a pasta, cous cous, or other yummy salad. The problem we always have - making nice consistent slices and not chopping off our hand while doing so. The OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer makes this task really easy. You use the soft knob to simply adjust to the desired slice thickness, and slide the zucchini over the stainless steel blade for nice even slices. We like the clear surface that shows slices accumulating below, and the little grippy slider also hides the blades from our kids prying fingers.
Here's our impressions of the OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer complete with pictures:

My mom got me one of these for my birthday and I don't know how I managed without it. It makes grating cheese or anything else so much easier than using a big awkward grater. It is made from stainless steel and works well with hard cheese, onions, citrus fruits, and ginger.
