Find those leftovers with the Produce Saver Set

Refrigerators can become cluttered places. Adding to the confusion, amidst all the fresh food waiting to become meals, leftover ingredients lurk behind every corner. Sometimes you may know that you have a half-used tomato, but actually finding it becomes a chore in and of itself. Not so, when using the Produce Saver Set.

Designed to look like the food item they contain, the storage devices keep freshness and flavor in, while making it easy to find what you are looking for in the fridge. The twist-lock plastic containers are sold in sets of two and come as a red and yellow onion set, a garlic and tomato set, or as a lemon and lime set.

***UPDATE 12/4/24: I hope nobody ate the produce saver set because it is no longer available! Here though is a 4 Pack Fruit and Vegetable Storage Containers Set for Fridge, complete with handy dandy stickers for instant produce recognition. Except for whatever that yellow thing is in the bottom left.

Cherry Chomper hungry for cherry pits

This cherry pitter looks hungry. In fact, judging by the expression, Iâ€™d say the Cherry Chomper Cherry Pitter downright loves cherry pits. Which is OK, because as much as this little guy appears to like â€˜em, I donâ€™t like cherry pits.

The cherry pitter chomps down on inserted cherries — or olives too, but donâ€™t tell him that — and collects the pits in a reservoir in his belly. Pop the cherry out via access in the back, and youâ€™ve got yourself a fresh cherry ripe for eating. With the enthusiastic Cherry Chomper by your side, it wonâ€™t take long before you have yourself a nice big bowl of (pit-less) cherries. From Talisman Designs.

Utensil Pot Clips keep the cooking going

I am forever dropping utensils when I get going in the kitchen. It gets pretty fast and furious in there. While my creations may or may not always turn out delicious, one thing for sure is there will be plenty of dirty dishes — a good amount of them forks, spoons and stirrers that ended up on the floor.

These Utensil Pot Clips by Trudeau could change all that. Designed to keep your cooking implement close at hand (and off the floor), the pot clips offer a convenient place to keep your utensil when cooking. If you tend to rest your spatulas, ladles and all-purpose stirrers on the edge of the pot (and then on the floor), these clips might just be the item to keep the heat going in your kitchen.

Serve up a side salad — literally

Salad is an excellent accompaniment to almost any meal. Problem is, big, leafy greens take up a lot of room. After all, salad bowls are big for a reason; they require a large footprint to hold all that greenery. As such, often the salad bowl gets left behind, while the other, less healthy courses get the limelight of the tabletop.

The Dark Acacia-Wood Salad Bowl with Stand Set allows for the salad to stand alone, saving valuable tabletop real estate for other entrÃ©es. The 28.5-inch stand compliments the 8-inch by 16-inch bowl, and placed next to the table, the set is an attractive and easy-to-reach option for smaller dining tables. With this salad bowl at your tableside, the roast beef and mashed potatoes are just going to have to learn how to share top billing.

Taco Plates: For easy taco loading

Tacos are meant to be eaten in pairs. One might think this is due to their relatively small size; one never seems to quite fill you up. However, there is another practical reason that the taco is frequently served as a duo: you need one to steady the other as you load it up with delicious fillings.

Leaning tacos up against each other is all fine and good, but now there is an easier way. Taco Plates are a simple solution for this age-old hard-shell dilemma. Made from recyclable polystyrene, the plates hold tacos upright for easy filling and serving. A special ridged bottom help to minimize soak-through, keeping your loaded tacos fresh and ready-to-eat. Perhaps best of all, tradition is preserved and you get two to a plate!

Batter Finger: It’s pointing! It’s pointing!

Batter Finger: Fred BATTERFINGER Cartoon Hand Spatula

Sometimes it’s not rude to point. Offering a friend or little one the chance to scrape the bowl after mixing up a batch of deliciousness definitely qualifies. The Batter Finger makes making cookies, cake and brownies even more fun. The opportunity to share never tasted so good.

The finger-shaped spatula features a long handle and flexible silicone end for easy use when creating sweet treats. Narrower than traditional spatulas, the Batter Finger can also be used to scrape out the last bit of peanut butter from the jar. Perfect, because doesn’t a peanut butter brownie sound really good just about now?
