Pots and pans are as simple as it gets when it comes to cookware. Just make ‘em out of something that can stand up to the heat while not spilling ingredients all over the place.

Square brownies are great and all, but they are so, well… square. So, you’re chomping happily along, and before you know it you reach the end of an edge. The problem? Too many corners. The answer? More edge, in the shape of a wedge.
Eliminating the spectre of all-corner brownies, the Brownie Wedge Pan by Nordic Ware, loses one of the four corners and makes it all edge. Sure, you could just cut a square brownie diagonally, but then that wouldn’t be a real brownie edge, and with brownies, it’s all about the edge. And with sixteen edge-heavy wedges per batch, the wedge pan has an edge over the competition.
Beer can chicken making gadgets come in all shapes and sizes, but rarely do they double as anything else. Which is usually fine: the idea is to add a flavoring liquid of your choice (that’s right — gasp — it doesn’t have to be beer) and let it bubble up and permeate the meat while it is cooking.

Morning is the one time of the day best served on automatic. From timed coffee makers to toaster-ovens that deliver perfectly browned toast, bagels or pastries, breakfast probably is the last meal that anyone wants to pay any attention to while actually making it. Still, I can’t help being drawn to the MoMA Stovetop Toaster.

Place a slice of bread on top of the gridded side and set it on the burner. It might not be the most precise of kitchen gadgets, but for only eight bucks, it won’t cost a lot to find out just how asleep you really are in the morning while making breakfast.
There is just something about grill accessories that quite often makes them look like medieval torture devices. The Mr. Bar B Q EZ Legs & Wings Rack is no exception. The commercial-grade stainless-steel rack is designed to hang chicken legs and wings over an open fire. If that doesn’t scream medieval, I don’t know what does. One thing for sure though, is that it won’t be torture finishing off that chicken.
Product Features
— Grill or oven-bake chicken legs and wings without turning, burning or sticking
— Rack hangs up to 13 chicken legs and wings above the grate on a grill or elevated above a pan in the oven
— Legs and wings secure into the circles and slots
— Poultry is cooked uniformly on all sides
— Remove all pieces at the same time
