HoMedics Restore Water Purification Uses UV Light to Kill Bad Stuff in Your Water

UV technology purifies and removes 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses and 99.95% of microbial cysts, and if you get this HoMedics Restore Water Purification pitcher you can reap the results. The HoMedics water purification system reduces Heavy Metals, Chlorine (taste and odor), some Industrial & Agricultural Pollutants.
Restore is California certified for microbiological water purification, and the first to utilize UV technology in an easy to use, affordable water pitcher product. System includes: 8 cup capacity, BPA free pitcher with built-in UV lamp, one replaceable filter and one adapter. Filters are also reasonably priced at $7.99.
We're interested in tasting the difference, and hopefully we'll get one of these to review soon.

Pastasaurus Pasta Server

What's not to like about a giant Pastasaurus? Well what if they decide to mess up all of your pasta dishes instead of serving them? Made from plastic, you can pick up this 13″ serving tool for $7.99. It's ergonomically designed handle and pasta-snaring teeth work together to make it a lean, mean, spaghetti-serving machine. It's total prehistoric pasta serving perfection!

Cuisinart PerfecTemp Porcelain Enameled Teakettles with Temperature Gauge

We've had several readers write in to tell us about this perfect tea kettle. This tea kettle features perfect temperature control, and a precise temperature gauge that is multi-colored and easy to read. The temperature gauge indicates the correct water temperature to provide the ideal cup of tea or coffee. We also like the energy saving design as it reduces unnecessary boiling or re-boiling by always knowing the exact water temperature. This kettle also features a whistling sound which signals boiling water.

Inclined-to-Butter Dish - Sit Back and Butter

This uniquely designed butter dish is tilted and slanted—making it impossible for a stick of butter to move while slicing the thinnest slivers - even when the butter is chilled. The Inclined-to-Butter dish breaks the mold of the traditional, flat-bottomed butter server. Place a stick of butter in this butter dish and it won't budge a bit. No need to keep butter out of the refrigerator where its texture, flavor and color may suffer.

Menu has a pretty cool idea with rolling salt and pepper shakers. Who hasn't been at the dinner table, and been asked to pass the salt. Now when passing the salt you can simply roll it on over. Built from anodized aluminum with synthetic wheels, we recommend getting the pair when they come available this spring to make your meals fun.
