Fruits and vegetables never looked better after getting scrubbed with these Loofah-Art Natural Non-Scratch Kitchen Scrubber – Assorted Vegetables (Eggplant)
The best part is when not in use, these little loofahs look great hanging next to the sink. They each measure about 4-inches by 3-inches, and are instantly recognizable as the thing that they portray; although I’m not exactly sure what a ladybug has to do with a pineapple and an eggplant.
It may be close to grillin’ time in some parts of the country, but other regions are going to have to wait. Grilled meat may be the number one item people think about when breaking out the charcoal, but grilled corn surely deserves a place at the table.
The Corn Butter Boat Trays can help you get through those long nights far removed from a hot grill. It may not be grilled corn, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have quick, easy and delicious corn on the cob. The trays allow for the ability to steam an ear of corn in the microwave in about 2-3 minutes. When grillin’ season finally does arrive, you could use these trays to serve those grilled ears, complete with melted butter. Suddenly, winter doesn’t seem so long.
It’s not quite ice cream season yet, but before you know it, you are going to be adding ice cream to your grocery list as a must-have refrigerator staple. Be it a pint or a “pint,” you are going to need a way to scoop out the frozen deliciousness.
The Antifreeze Ice Cream Scoop has a non-toxic fluid sealed inside to keep the metal from frosting over. With the scoop doing most of the work, you will be able to save your arm strength for more important things; like eating the ice cream.
The scoop has a 2-ounce scoop capacity and is constructed of high-grade aluminum and ABS plastic. Hand-wash only.
Some appliances get put to use every day, and as such, are usually just left out on the counter. It’s nice to always have your most often used tools easily at your disposal, but when not in use, these popular appliances have a tendency to get in the way.
The Black and Decker Spacemaker Stainless Steel Chopper/Grinder solves this problem by mounting under a cabinet. With interchangeable blades and containers, the device can be used as mini-food processor or coffee grinder. There is pulse control for chopping, along with a grind selection button for choosing between fine, medium and coarse. Measuring less than ten inches across, with a height of about 5.5 inches, the Spacemaker not only frees up valuable counter space, but also allows for the ability to accomplish everyday tasks with one convenient unit.
The Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker may look like a squat bowling pin, but it works like a mortar and pestle. The ‘pin’ separates into two halves, and you simply add your ingredients in the lower half. Top with the included ceramic ball, seal and shake. The ball crushes, grinds and mixes whatever include in the shaker.
Perfect for creating your own spice blends, dressings and marinades, the shaker is surprisingly versatile. Even a couple of cloves of whole garlic can be minced with a few solid shakes.
Available in several colors, this UK gizmo is available domestically at Kitchen Kapers for $29.99.

Produce doesn’t always come in convenient sizes. Sometimes, we just need a bite. Whether you just need a few slices of tomato for a sandwich or want half of an apple as a snack, the unused portion needs to be stored for later use.
Produce Savers by Evriholder Products are a set of specifically (very specific) designed gadgets for saving and storing common produce. Available in five distinct styles, the produce savers work by protecting the produce from surrounding air. Place your fruit or vegetable cut side down, and clip to hold in place. The lack of contact to air helps to prevent browning and keep the produce clean.
The produce savers are certainly fanciful creations, and at $3.99 each (looks like they were pretty popular at that price!), they are definitely affordable. And fun too. The Cucumber Saver
