A chocolate milk tornado

Lightning in a bottle? No, a tornado in a cup. A chocolate milk tornado, no less. It’s a fact: Manually stirred chocolate milk just doesn’t taste as good as compared to when it has been sent through a tornado. So, put down that spoon and pick up this Hershey’s Chocolate Milk Maker. Whipping up 16-ounces of well-stirred chocolate milk at a time, this mini-blender makes enjoying a nice tall cool glass of chocolate milk just that much better. And you thought chocolate milk couldn’t get any more fun.

Eat your way through the eventual robot uprising

The obligatory war with our eventual robot overlords will not be as distasteful as once thought. In fact, quite the opposite: it will be delicious. The Robot Twist And Press Cookie Cutter twists and turns allowing for dozens of robot configurations. The rotating top, middle and bottom sections each feature a corresponding robot part, letting you assemble the exact robot you want. With an army of robots reduced to cookie form, it’s a win-win situation. We get to earn our freedom and eat cookies at the same time.

Bake your own (ready to fill) bread bowl

If you believe a certain pizza chain, bread bowls make pasta better. While that may or may not be true, bread bowls certainly can be a delicious serving device—especially when you bake the bread bowl yourself. The Better Baker Loaf Bowl is a mold designed to produce breads already in the shape of a bowl. No need to scoop out the inside of a loaf of bread (and then wonder what to do with it) when using this kitchen gadget. Just bake, fill and enjoy—with or without the carb explosion.

Mushrooms you do want growing in your kitchen

Mushrooms may be delicious, but you don’t necessarily want them growing out of your kitchen cabinets. Not to worry though, because rather than a troubling sign of massive renovations to come, these mushrooms are meant to be welcomed into your house. Available in four different variations measuring up to 11.5-inches in length, these Carved Wooden Mushrooms add an organic earthiness to your kitchen decor without ruining the woodwork.

No more chasing runaway fruits and vegetables

We all know that any fruit or vegetables we purchase should be washed first. It’s just basic common sense. No matter how far your food has traveled, it still needs a good rinse to wash off (at least) the particulate matter that it unavoidably accumulates. Usually the best tool for the job is a colander; just hold it under the faucet and let the water do all the work. Sometimes, however, we just want a small snack and digging out the colander (which tends to be large and cumbersome) can be an easily overlooked step. For these times, I use a folding steamer basket (you know, the one that looks like a UFO), but without any sides, food can escape and roll away (and quite often does).

These Mini Colanders are perfectly suited for small-sized rinsing. Measuring just six-inches by 3-inches, the small size allows for easy storage when not in use. The colanders are available in a variety of colors to match any kitchen décor: white, turquoise, kiwi, green, red or yellow. Best of all, the sturdy melamine construction comes with easy to grasp handles, so it’s not only easy to store but convenient to use. My steamer basket will just have to go back to being just a steamer basket (and occasionally a UFO).

Dino Sandwich Cutter removes crusts, adds fun

dinosandwich

Even as a kid I never quite got the whole sandwich “with the crusts cut off” thing. Crusts are delicious too and deserve such recognition. However if your young’uns need a little encouragement to bite into their PB&J, check out this Dino Sandwich Cutter from Williams-Sonoma. Not only does the sandwich cutter trim off offensive crusts, but it also makes mealtime fun. What little kid (well, the boys at least) wouldn’t enjoy pretending to be some great beast tearing into a dinosaur?

Now, the only problem is what to do about that kid who likes their sandwiches with the crust left on. That’s not gonna fly when everybody else is running around with cool dinosaur sandwiches. (Also available in a stupid boring heart shape for the stupidhead girls.)
