This electric pepper mill features a push button on the top to commence grinding along with a light on the bottom to assist in putting the pepper where it really needs to go. The glass window allows you to see how many peppercorns you have left before needing a refill. What we really like is the shape of the mill - it's very modern and really quite spectacular in brushed chrome.

We love to chop and what better way to chop than with this Double Mezzluna from Williams Sonoma. Christmas dinner prep is just but a day away and getting through all that stuffing preparation can be daunting but not daunting when you have double the trouble for those onions.
This old-fashioned tool—whose name means "half-moon" in Italian—is still an international favorite for chopping. Using an easy, two-handed rocking motion, you can swiftly chop onions, garlic or herbs with the curved, 5 1/2" stainless-steel blades.

Please please please buy us this for Christmas! We love the Eva Solo Fruit Peeler and think it's the perfect fruit peeler any fruit peeling occasion which for us - every morning we make apples for our daughter. Best of all the peeler works for both right and left handed people. Perfect.
The stainless steel blade forms a whole with the shaft, which makes the knife more robust. The knives are designed to be simple, effective and aesthetic and are both functional in the kitchen as well as on the table. This peeler works equally well whether you are left or right-handed. Can be used for peeling vegetables as well as for fruit. Made in stainless steel with plastic and is dishwasher-safe.

We're not sure how or why it works but we do love good bacon. Most of the time frying it up in the pan doesn't seem to be a quick option and especially one with less mess. We think the bacon wave might solve all of our problems but we're not sure if making 28 pieces of bacon at a time is a good idea.
Bacon cooked to perfection in your microwave, for the frying pan taste without the frying pan, or the grease! Make bacon healthier. Less fat less grease less cholesterol less calories cooks up to 14 pieces at once stackable, buy 2 - 28 pieces

If you've never had riced potatoes then you haven't had really good mashed potatoes. Some people will lead you to believe that mashed potatoes are the same as ricing potatoes - well it's just not true. Riced potatoes are something special and have a lighter feel to them provided you don't mix up the riced potatoes and spoil their flair.

The Ice-n-Slice is an ice tray allowing you to insert a citrus slice into each cube. We like the idea of inserting just about any fruit into our ice cubes so lemons, limes, and oranges seem like a no-brainer. We think a little orange flavored sparkling water will make for a nice refreshing treate. How about a nice cocktail or two served up with a frozen slice of lime? Where's my Gin?

We have really been enjoying this in the Kitchen Contraptions kitchen since we purchased it about a month ago. IZ makes noise and music and other stuff but best of all keeps our 2 year hold daughter absolutely entertained during the tougher cooking moments. You can also plug in your ipod to this and play music that IZ will DJ to. The toy is very interactive and we well - love it.
IZ is the ultimate fusion of music and toy! Twist and turn iZ's ears to create new combinations of rhythm and lead tracks; press his belly to change-up the beat! iZ's eye's bounce to the rhythm and lead and his horn pulses in rainbow colors to the beat! Want to listen to your own tunes? Use the included cable to plug in our iPod or any music source to listen to iZ play your songs his way! Includes music input connection cable for use with iPod, MP3 players, CD plays, or any other music device that uses standard headset cable.
