We need an Egg Cracker in our messy egg cracking lives. It seems that every time we make anything egg related, the shells end up in the whites, the yolks, and those shells end up in the final cooked products. Not sure why we are so egg cracking challenged, but we are. This egg cracker is pretty easy to use - you put an egg in it and press it shut, then the yolk and whites come out, leaving the shell behind where it's supposed to be.

We consume so much garlic here at Kitchen Contraptions, we wonder if we'll ever get the smell our of our hands somedays. Mr. Garlic's Press and Peeler looks like a great alternative to our current garlic mincing smelly hands fiasco. You simply insert the unpeeled cloves, roll to peel the garlic, fill the grinder with peeled garlic clove, and turn the press. Bam! Minced garlic and less smelly garlic hands.

In a galaxy far far away - someone is dreaming up kitchen gadgets based on Star Wars characters. It's nice to see they started with R2D2 - a very versatile robot, and capable of holding mass amounts of soy sauce. If you are looking for a sci-fi kitchen gift - this may be your only hope.

A work of art or a bottle opener? You decide. The bottle opener is made in Japan from iron ore and finished with a “urishi” glaze, which gives it a black burnish.

Forget mashing potatoes, ricing potatoes is the way to go. This ricer has an extra big bin. You also do not have to remove the peel before ricing. In addition the rubber-coated ridges allow the ricer to rest on pots without scratching them.

We've been sent a few items to review in the past, but never have we received 3 variations on the same kitchen gadget/tool as we did just last week. Before we received these three sets of tongs, we were very tong challenged. What type of old tongs did we have? We used a set of wooden and steel BBQ tongs for most things here in the kitchen - and to tell you the truth - it wasn't a pretty sight. The tongs didn't collapse, we often had food stuck all over them, and they weren't precise enough. Well - now that we have 3 different OXO tongs - life is much easier.
The OXO Good Grips Silicone Flexible Tongs
can grab just about anything with the large silicone heads.
We really like all the tongs, and one would think having 3 sets of tongs is too much - it really isn't. Each of the OXO tongs can be used for different kitchen cooking tasks, and we really like the larger 12" tongs with the lock, as we can put them away in our giant bin of kitchen tools.

We love just about anything mango, but what we don't love is having to get the mango out of the mango. Mangos tend to have a very large seed in the middle, and the entire process can really take some time. When we heard OXO - maker of just about any kitchen gadget you could want made a mango splitter, we realized our mango intake could increase if we had such a gadget, and perhaps be a bit less of a hassle.
The OXO Good Grips Mango Splitter is pretty straight forward. It's much like an apple corer with two big soft grips on the side. The middle part of the OXO Good Grips Mango Splitter slides down over the mango seed and splits the mango.
First you'll need a mango, ours is a bit green but will do.
