Here is a cool alternative to the spoon rest. This clips onto the side of your pan and holds your utensil over the pan, so the drippings go back into the pan. The clip has a silicone coating, so it doesn't burn your fingers, and pads that protect the pan from scratching.

I've been craving pancakes lately. I hardly ever make them at home, but when I do they are mish mash of sizes and shapes, which is fine with me. However, if you are anal about your pancakes, and want them to be uniform in size, this dispenser is for you. It has three size settings and the dispenser is big enough to allow berries and chocolate chips to fit through.

That last glass or so of soda out a two-liter bottle is never very fizzy. I always end up throwing out the last of the bottle, which is very wasteful. The Fizz Keeper® keeps your soda from going flat. Remove the cap and put the Pump & Pour on the bottle and squeeze several times. Then when you want a drink, press the flip top open.

I wouldn't want to meet someone carrying this peeler in a dark alley. It looks serious. The blade is made with zirconium oxide, which they say makes it stay sharp ten times longer than steel blades. The blade also adjusts its angle from vertical to horizontal.

As I was pitting some olives for my couscous dish last night, I thought there has to be a better way. And low and behold there is. This gadget removes cherry and olive pits. It has thumb rest and can be locked together for easy storing.

It can be hard to tell when microwaved food is hot. It is often hot on the outside, but not on the inside or vice versa. Well, put these spoons in your food (I suppose it works best on soups and not for heating, say, a frozen burritto) and they will change color when your food is hot (120 F).

Both my parents visited recently, and the amount of toast they both eat is amazing. No carb counting going on here. But oh--the crumbs that were all over my nice countertops. I love my parents, but the crumbs are enough to drive a person insane. Now check out these cute little hand held vacuums in the shape of farm animals. They are designed to clean up crumbs from your tabletop or counter. Bring on the toast eating!!

I've always wondered how to get all the bones out of a fish. These tweezers have specially beveled tips that grip the bones for easy removal. Wonder if it works on eyebrows too?

I don't use brown sugar enough to use it up before it becomes hard. This little terra cotta disk keeps your brown sugar soft. You just soak it in water, pat it dry, and put it into the bag or canister. It says it also keeps coconut, raisins, and cookies moist. Nice.
