Ring Pop’s were so 80’s. Or were they 70’s? Either way, you can bring the fashion trend up to date with Tovolo Frozen Jewel Popsicle Molds. The set features six different popsicle molds that rest in a spill-resistant base. When done, just pop ’em out of the freezer and turn your fingers into a glamorous (and sticky) fashion statement. Ring Pops have had a good ride, but every good trend needs an update. Stay ahead of the curve and catch these fashion pops before they melt.
Pancakes are more fun when they are not round. Something that lives inside each and every one of use inspires us to manipulate pancake batter as often as we can. Perhaps it is because the pancake is so round that we are urged to improve upon it. After all, it pretty much is a round blank canvas, and maple syrup only goes so far.
If you’re not the Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity type, then perhaps you can indulge your pancake-manipulating fantasies with the Garden Creatures Pancake Molds. A set of three, including a snail, a butterfly and a ladybug, the nonstick cookware makes transforming your breakfast into an easy affair. Just pour in the batter and after it sets remove the mold. The result is a metamorphasized breakfast meal and a deep inner satisfaction that no boring ol’ round pancake is safe around you.
We as a society seem to have been constantly upgrading our collective utensil sensibilities. During our humble beginnings eons ago we lurched around with crude knives. Since then, we have achieved a pinnacle of utensilology. The place setting has evolved into a minefield of utensils–all refined for specific uses. An unnecessary burden has been place upon us to distinguish the fish fork from the salad fork, and as such, the modern era has given rise to the somewhat-useful spork. Clearly, there is room for improvement.
The Taster by Carl Mertens brings the spork to the stovetop and back on out to the dinner table. With a spoon on one end and a fork on the other, the utensil is designed to give the cook convenient access to their creations. Furthermore, a small hook has been incorporated which can be used to fish out spaghetti or other elusive items. Evolution doesn’t come cheap however, and this spoon/fork/cooking-thingy will set you back $32.

Cheese served with bread is a combination that has seemingly endless possibilities. Adding heat to the equation makes those possibilities truly endless. From the strong to the mild with bread to match, the taste combination afforded by this simple staple is both comforting and delicious.
The Gourmet Village Brie Baker is a stainless-steel pan designed to be used directly on the grill. The 4.75-inch diameter baker can also be used in the oven. While ribs, burgers and chicken may be the star of your barbecue, adding a side of warm, melty cheese is sure to be a crowd pleaser. In fact, considering the possibilities, you may just want to pick up two of these handy little pans.
Getting away from the city is always a recipe for a good time. Part of that fun usually includes ‘camping food’. Bearing a resemblance to ‘rood food’, camping grub usually includes things you wouldn’t normally eat. At the very least, any meal you prepare is most likely going to differ from how you make it at home. That’s part of the fun; an open fire and coolers full of rapidly melting ice lead to food that must be eaten— no matter how.

A secret family recipe that is always a hit consists of a crab and cheese* mixture on bread. These sure-fire party treats need to set up in the freezer before they can be unleashed. If I’m bringing them to a party, what better way than to just grab ‘em out of the freezer?
The Fat Daddio’s Lid For Half Sheet Pan is a perfect solution for storing and traveling with baked (or about-to-be-baked) foods. Snapping into place and with a height of 1.75 inches above the pan, the lid is easy to use and accommodates many cakes or other foods. Plastic wrap may be good for some applications, but if you’ve got a ringer of a recipe, you’re going to be bringing that tray out all the time. Best to cover up, and protect those appetizing goodies.
*Yes, I know. Fish and cheese rarely go together. But remember, crustaceans are not fish, and anybody who has ever had a shrimp and cheese po’ boy in New Orleans would understand.
