Sometimes smaller is better. If you have a size-challenged kitchen and a penchant for hot grilled sandwiches (or items of similar size), lugging out the big old fry pan can be a chore. The Cast Iron Sandwich Pan is ideal for cooking up single serve meals and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Having a small pan on the side can certainly be convenient. For a single egg or perhaps sautéing some veggies, the small size makes it easy to work with and best of all, there’s less to clean up.
Fondue couldn’t be easier than with this Trudeau Electric 3-n-1 Fondue Set. No matter if you prefer sweet or savory, broth or oil, the fondue of your choice is as simple as can be. A stoneware insert allows for bourguignonne fondue, while if you prefer cheese or chocolate, a stoneware insert will do the trick. The electric pot also features a variable temperature dial eliminating the need to fuss with an uneven flame. The fondue set includes six serving forks, and recipes are also included. You too can revisit (or visit for the first time) a classic communal party meal designed to bring people together. Also makes for a great gift.
It looks like a pasta tree, but since pasta doesn’t grow on trees, it must be something else. Oh. It’s a rack. For drying pasta. Eh, still looks like a pasta tree to me. But if you insist, we can call it by its real name: Wooden Pasta Drying Rack. It also looks like an old telephone pole, but a Pasta Telephone Pole would just be ridiculous now, wouldn’t it? TGIF.
Every good grill session needs variety. A grill full of hamburgers just doesn’t seem quite right without at least some hot dogs dotting the landscape. The scenery provided by a grill full of these essentials is certainly appetizing, but you can do better. Break up the old hamburger/hot dog club and introduce some variety with kebobs.
No other grill method offers such variety tailored to individual tastes as does grilling with skewers. Guests can each construct their own, catering to their preferences. The Tom Douglas by Pinzon Stainless-Steel Pronged Kebob Skewers make it easy. Sold by Amazon in a set of two, the grill tools come with a comfortable wooden handle with plenty of room to pile on the meats and vegetables. The double-pronged design gives stability for all sizes of ingredients, while a ‘pusher’ installed at the base makes removal a breeze.
Sure, you could do as the old saying suggests and make lemonade, but why stop there? Lemon wedges are totally the way to go. Besides being convenient and versatile, they have the added benefit of being a delicious ingredient in many an adult beverage. Save the lemonade for the kiddies, and give life a kick right back in the pucker.
Easily slice and divide lemons and other citrus fruit into uniform slices with the Citrus Wedger from Williams-Sonoma. Accommodating fruits up to 2.75-inches in diameter, the kitchen gadget creates six wedges with one simple motion. No matter how many lemons you may have hanging around, a handy device such as this makes prepping them that much easier.
UPDATE 6/30/12: The link from Williams-Sonoma no longer works, so check out the Norpro Lemon Lime Slicer
