Some foods don’t lend themselves particularly well to consistency. We politely call these examples “rusticâ€. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; coarsely chopped vegetation of differing sizes can quite often add a pleasing effect. But sometimes you just want your homemade specialties to all be the same size with no surprises in store. A good example of when a surprise might be undesirable would be when biting into a stuffed burger. (Here might be another.)
Trees that smell good are to cars as baking soda boxes are to refrigerators: every refrigerator has one. Just like the air freshener that dangles from the rear view mirror, an open box of baking soda serves the purpose of deodorizing the surroundings (but just without the weird, chemical smell).

Good peanut butter is essential. But as anyone knows who goes for the good stuff, it tends to separate upon standing.

The inside of a microwave isn’t something to play around with. Unless of course, what you’re cooking needs mixing. While it isn’t advised to pop your hand in there while the machine is on (a not-so-easy trick), there is a clever gadget that works in tandem with the rotating turntable your microwave probably already has.
The Microwave Mixer is a handy utensil that sticks to the roof of a microwave staying in place via a suction cup. As the turntable rotates, the gadget stirs what is in the bowl. Much better than walking around with one radiation-enhanced superhero mutant hand anyways.
