Win Friends With Salad

Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker

Homer Simpson, the sage of a generation said, “You don’t win friends with salad.” While this sentiment might be all well and true, perhaps it is time to consider the salad dressing as the source of all the missed connections. After all, the stuff you find in a bottle at the supermarket in no way compares to homemade. The problem is, while it may be easy to whip up a batch of oil and vinegar, storage and serving usually requires a little more effort.

The Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker may not actually win you any friends, but you certainly won’t lose any either. Featuring a wide opening on top, and cup, milliliter and ounce measurements marked on the sides, the salad shaker makes it easy to make your own salad dressing. For serving and storing, the watertight accessory has a flip top lid that lets you shake, serve and store all with one container. And of course, you could always use it as a marinade shaker for meats.

Designed for use directly at the table, the Swissmar Finale Slice and Julienne provides a means for diners to easily perfect their individual plates. Measuring only 5.5-inches long, the Finale is made to fit comfortably in the hand, offering an easy way to slice or julienne by using one of the two included blades. All that’s left after using this tableside gadget is to dig in, and enjoy your meal!

Designed with burgers in mind, but really appropriate for every meal, the Slider Central Condiment Caddy provides space for up to eight condiments. The 15.5-inch by 9.5-inch serving vessel is only 2.5-inches tall and comes complete with a semi-transparent lid, making it perfect for outdoor feasts—or for just keeping the go-to set of condiments always at the ready inside the fridge.

A Place To Put The Pits

Pittoon Platter

When serving olives or cherries, the resulting pits can look a little too appetizing for some to pass up. While it may always be amusing to catch somebody about to try one of the fancy ‘nuts’, ultimately they are a party favor best kept out of sight.

The Pittoon Platter keeps gullible guests from being the butt of jokes as they attempt to sample the slowly growing pile of pits. The serving platter comes complete with a separate bowl designed specifically to hide discarded pits. Clearly labeled “PITS”, everyone will thankfully know what not to eat on the tray.
