You don’t always know what you’re going to get when you bite into a hamburger. Other than the fact that they can be rare, medium or well-done, burgers can be made out of many different basic ingredients, from the traditional beef, to healthier alternatives like turkey or even grains. However you like your burger, chances are it’s not as sweet as this one.
Most stovetops have four burners, yet for some reason the average kitchen timer can only count one thing at a time. That’s no way to count! It’s like not being able to use your fingers and toes when the need arises. Luckily, no longer is it required to go barefoot in the kitchen, because this timer keeps track of everything for you.
The Taylor Tools Chef’s Trust 4 Event Quad Timer features a simple-to-use uncluttered interface that tracks four separate events at once. Corner LEDs correspond to particular timers, and light up when the countdown is complete. Additional features include a memory recall, the ability to count up, and a foldout stand so you can set it down—just in case you still want to free up those fingers and toes.
Faced with a question of what to get for the cook who has everything? I bet they don’t have one of these!

It’s baseball season, which in turn means hot dog season has officially begun. However, hot dogs spinning eternally on stainless-steel rollers are only but one way to welcome in the new season. It’s time for the grill to come out of hibernation, and a good idea might be to step up your grilling game while you’re at it. A simple way is to do it with smoke.
The Steven Raichlen Double-V Smoker Box gives grillers the ability to add complex flavors by imparting foods with not only smoke, but also liquids. The double box construction allows for wood chips to be added to gas or charcoal grills, while the lower compartment is designed for adding juice, beer, wine or other flavored beverages. The traditional snap of a hot dog that accompanies the sound of baseball being smacked across the infield hasn’t usually included a palate-pleasing aftertaste of merlot or chardonnay, but hey, there’s always this year.
Since the dawn of petkind, mankind has been looking for a way to keep our furry friends from begging for scraps at the dinner table. It’s about time the human race has figured out that it’s an unwinnable battle. However, there is a solution that both saves face, and gives our adorable little critter friends that which they most desire: a seat at the dinner table.
The Pet High Chair, available at Hammacher Schlemmer, lets you and your pet share a meal while seeing eye to eye. The adjustable chair clips on to tables that are up to 2-inches thick, while the 600-denier tan and brown nylon fabric comfortably holds your dinner companion in place. As for the unexpected eventual attempt to dash across the dinner table to help you lick your plate clean, the chair comes equipped with two tethers to help keep dinner as refined as possible.
When shopping for sundries, it’s easy to grab the wrong thing. As soon as we walk into the supermarket our eyes are assaulted with a mind-boggling assortment of food products all screaming for our attention (and wallet). So, we grab what looks good, slide our money cards and go happily on our way–until we get home and realize that the grocery bags are filled with Sugar Free this and Slim Crisp that and Reduced Fat the other thing.
