Fish and lemon cocktail?

Fish Lemon Squeezer

While to some it may be somewhat disconcerting to have a fish spit in their drink, others apparently find the prospect quite appetizing. If you’re using the (Fish) Lemon Squeezer and you find your Lemon Drop cocktail a bit fishy tasting, well, I think you know what to blame. Of course, there’s no actual fish involved with this stainless steel, dishwasher safe citrus squeezer, but I don’t think looking at that engraved fish on the side would do anything for my aperitif. Perhaps that’s why this new squeezer is already on sale for $5.00. Get ‘em now, while they last.

Refrigerator light gnomes expand operations

Cooler Light from Taylor Gifts

Does the light really shut off when you close the ice chest door? Wait, there is no light inside the ice chest. That is, unless you have this Cooler Light from Taylor Gifts. Other than providing minutes of entertainment as the mystery of the cooler light is explored by opening and shutting the ice chest, the cooler light provides much needed illumination for when the party heads into the night. There’s nothing worse than grabbing a Coke when what you really wanted was a PBR. Now that all-too-common mix-up can finally be avoided. As for the cooler light? Yes, it does shut off automatically twenty seconds after you close the lid. But to see the light gnomes in action, you’ll have to buy one and see for yourself.

Somebody actually bothered to invent the Wild Fling Popcorn Basketball Bowl

Wild Fling Popcorn Basketball Bowl

The Wild Fling Popcorn Basketball Bowl may just be the most ridiculous sports-watching accessory since the beer helmet. Not surprisingly, the two hunks of plastic complement each other; drink with one, eat snacks with the other.

Dust off your old beer helmet (because every closet has one, right?) and get up to date with this snack bowl. When the beer helmet runs dry, enjoy the convenience offered by the integrated beverage holder. You’ll find it right next to the remote control. If your beer helmet is in the shop, no worries, because when the popcorn is all gone and the game is over, the bowl doubles (triples?) as a stylish helmet. Remember, it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you watch the game.

Price Alert: Breakfast Center keeps breakfast together

Cooks 3-in-1 Breakfast Center

Everybody loves breakfast. Not only is it the most important meal of the day, but it also happens to be good at any time of the day. Morning, noon or night, bacon, eggs, coffee and toast make for an excellent meal. These components may define what a breakfast is, but sadly, they are not always served together. With the 3-in-1 Breakfast Center these all-important breakfast favorites can always be together.

The combination appliance features a coffee maker, a griddle and a toaster oven. The countertop appliance makes it easy to cook up breakfast essentials all in one place–at any time of the day.

Making coffee making as easy as can be

Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker

Making coffee couldn’t be made any easier. Heck, it would take more effort to crawl down to your local caffeinating hole than to use this coffee maker. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker is a perfect solution for those that enjoy freshly ground brewed coffee first thing in the morning. Having some experience with groggy coffee making, I can assuredly say that the relatively easy process of brewing coffee is not so easy without the help of coffee. It’s like a Möbius strip or the chicken-or-the-egg paradox: to make coffee one must have coffee. Or at least in my case. Needless to say, mornings are not so pretty around these parts.

With a 24-hour programmable timer included on this coffee maker, all morning mishaps can be avoided. Complete with an integrated burr grinder in the set up, mornings can be accident free and delicious. Other features included on this miracle machine include a charcoal water filter and a gold-tone permanent filter. Oh, and at the end of the day, when you are delightfully caffeinated? As a final nod to the forgetful and the occasionally inept, this coffee maker includes an automatic shut-off.

Life after induction for old pots and pans

Burton 8-Inch Induction Interface Disk with Heat-Proof Handle

If you’ve gone induction, chances are you had to swap out at least some of your favorite cookware. Cooking via induction is highly efficient, as the cooking vessel itself is part of the system that generates heat, but the method only works with ferrous pots and pans (not to mention an induction cooktop). But what of all that old cookware you have come to know and love? There is a solution.

The Burton 8-Inch Induction Interface Disk with Heat-Proof Handle lets you use any of your old cookware on an induction cooktop. The stainless steel disk heats up when it comes into contact with the induction cooker, and transfers that heat to any cooking vessel. Of course your induction cooker won’t act like an induction cooker while using this eight-inch diameter disk, but if you want to use the cookware that you just haven’t been able to part with yet, this little contraption can bring them back to life.
