Three-point shot goes wide for this basketball gadget

With the NBA Playoffs dribbling towards their inevitable conclusion (Cleveland in 5 over L.A.), it seems appropriate to highlight a basketball-themed kitchen gadget. With so many kitchen gadgets on the market it seems a bit difficult to choose only one. In that regard, here is the Magic 3 in 1 Basketball Peeler Bottle Opener Storing Case.

The three-point play combines a peeler, a bottle opener and a storing case. While the storing case is a bit of a stretch (foot on the line), the other two features are certainly useful. Granted, they all come in a weird basketball contraption, but somebodyâ€™s got to want one of these, right? Currently priced at $4.99 down from $16.99.

Never lose another corn holder

Hey look, somewhere to put those corn holders that always get misplaced! Now, instead of rummaging around in the ~~junk~~ utility drawer for the handy little corn-helpers, you can keep them exactly where they get the most use.

These Corn Dish and Holder Sets by MSC International – Jo!e not only provide a place to store the corn holders when not in use, but also act as an excellent serving device. The oblong shape of the dish perfectly complements an ear of corn, catching all that hot melted butter that may be slathered all over the corn. Good thing you know where to find the corn holders.

The mystery of the missing mug

These Numerical Mugs over at Anthropologie are pretty cool looking. Sold individually, each with their own type treatment, the mugs come in (apparently) five different varieties. If you have a use for a mug emblazoned with a number 6, 12, 18, 31 or 54, now you know where to get it. Perhaps more important than the question of why there are only these particular numbers, is the question of whether there will ever be more. That half hidden 22 in the photo would make it seem so. Maybe itâ€™s not really that much of a mystery, and they are just tonightâ€™s winning lottery numbers. Which, of course, is a much bigger mystery.

This beer is yours, no question about it

Itâ€™s the weekend and itâ€™s time to get out there and shake off some steam. If you find yourself at a party with everybody imbibing a good time, chances are your particular adult beverage will at some point get lost in the fray. Perhaps the host had the foresight to stall the oft-repeated refrain â€˜Is this beer mine?â€™ by supplying these Bottle Markers by Make My Day. Made of silicone, the marker slides over the neck of your beverage, and is easily identifiable by color. Now all you have to do is remember which color is yours.

Pesky fractions are no match for Kitchen Calc

Finding a recipe that looks interesting is usually just a starting point. The personal embellishments and preferences of the actual cook making the meal always trump what’s written down. Sometimes however, you want to follow a recipe exactly. Whether it be for reasons of taste or ratios, that recipe usually needs to be scaled up or down.

The Kitchen Calc works in units common to the kitchen such as fractions, Celsius and Fahrenheit. The handheld calculator converts cooking volume units and also units of weight. Even dash and pinch are represented. Of course, while the Kitchen Calc may handle those pesky fractions, it also works as a standard calculator too.
