We all scream for ice cream cone cupcakes

NordicWare Ice Cream Cone Cupcake Pan

Kids and adults both will love this NordicWare Ice Cream Cone Cupcake Pan. That may look like an ice cream cone, but it is actually a cupcake. Of course, after your creation is cooled and iced, you could always top it with a scoop of actual ice cream for a fun and delicious treat.

This original pan is capable of baking six cone-shaped cakes at a time. Measuring 3-inches deep and 10.5-inches across, the pan will produce some good-sized cupcakes. Constructed of heavy cast-aluminum, it is also non-stick coated for easy cake removal and clean up.

Cupcakes never go out of style, and the recent trend surrounding these little treats shows no sign of slowing down. Take your cake to the next level, and show off your style with cupcakes made from this distinctive pan.

Better Butterer for better buttering

Better Butterer by Progressive

No longer do you have to wrestle with a quickly melting pat of butter when trying to season corn. Butter falling off of the knife or not melting properly can now be a thing of the past. Bypass the butter knife completely with the Better Butterer by Progressive.

Simply place one stick of butter in the device and you’re ready to enjoy hot buttered corn. The contoured shape fits over the surface of any ear of corn, and the butter melts as it comes in contact with the hot corn. With no knife for the butter to fall off of, the butter stays on the corn, and not on the plate. Better buttering is a breeze with the Better Butterer.

On-demand caramel apples: The Apple Dipper

Apple Dipper

Some people like to keep a dish of candy on a nearby side table. Whenever the candy craving hits, a sweet treat is never too far away. As practical as that may be, some people appreciate other sweets adorning their tabletops. Like caramel. Melted caramel.

The Apple Dipper is probably not intended as a perpetual sugar-dispensing device, but it does have that capability. Designed to melt caramel and keep it heated, the dipper is a fun way to create caramel apples. Turn it on, fill it up and dip away. Be careful though, with the ability to keep caramel in a continual ready-to-dip state, that candy dish is going to get jealous!

Le Creuset enameled cookware: Caribbean collection

Le Creuset enameled cookware: Caribbean collection

What a nice shade of blue if I do say so myself. I think this Caribbean Stockpot from Le Creuset would look great in my kitchen… and right here on this blog. The blue doesn’t quite match BTKS, but hey, that is a sharp looking color.

The 6-quart stockpot by Le Creuset is made with heavy gauge steel and hard glossy enamel. Extremely versatile, the large size is perfect for creating sauces and dishes to feed the whole family. Part of a set, the Caribbean collection features everything from soup (pans) to nuts skillets.

Lift & Serve Pan makes bite-sized baking a breeze

Lift & Serve Single Squares Pan

Anybody with a penchant for hors d’oeuvres is going to appreciate this nifty pan. From bite-sized quiche to tasty little cakes, creating petite snacks has never been easier.

The Chicago Metallic Lift & Serve Single Squares Pan bakes a dozen appetizing treats at a time. It features twelve individual cups each measuring 1-inch square by ¾ of an inch deep. When done, the delicate dishes pop right out of the nonstick pan simply by pushing up from underneath. Unlike other stubborn pans, the removable inserts help to lift the food out, leaving you with easy to handle delicious appetizers that are just a bite away.

Chop salad right in the bowl — and more

Salad Chopper Bowl

Like many others, I find myself using appliances and tools for tasks that they are not designed for. Be it a screwdriver as a hammer or a fork as a knife, there are hidden uses lurking in all of our hand tools. Sometimes, they are not so hidden.

This Salad Chopper and Bowl from OXO looks to me like it has a second, more useful application. Sure the bowl is great, but I can’t really see myself chopping vegetables inside of it. Some pieces would end up too big, some too small, and all of them oddly shaped. Instead, I’ll choose to chop my salad the old-fashioned way, and serve with pizza strips that could only be cut from such an original salad pizza chopper.
