Click ‘n Cook Modular Spatula

Having the right tool for the job is an essential aspect of cooking. One look in most any kitchen drawer will confirm as much; they are often cluttered with a horde of cooking implements. One option for keeping long-handled pieces out where they can be easily reached is the old-fashioned crock jar. For some, that unorganized look just won’t do, but there is another solution.

Eggo Storage Wonâ€™t Leggo

Helman WSC-054 Eggo Waffle Storage Container

Itâ€™s hard to consider an Eggo as something necessary to take extra steps to protect, but then again, when you get your hands on one itâ€™s apparently hard to leggo. While a well-designed marketing catch phrase may have increased Eggo paranoia for all time, usually concern for the frozen waffles doesnâ€™t extend to the freezer. The Helman WSC-054 Eggo Waffle Storage Container would like to change that. While it may not come with a catchy slogan, the storage container for the freezer saves space while keeping the precious waffles safe and sound in an airtight environment. Frost-free Eggos can finally be yours. (Or for whoever gets â€˜em first.)

Shake It Up, Don’t Clean It Up

The Heritage Mint Lock & Lock Small Sauce is a 17-ounce container designed for easy (and safe) salad and sauce making. Featuring a 4-hinge locking lid system that effectively prevents accidental spills, the dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe container makes it easy to whip up homemade salad dressing even for the most enthusiastic of shakers.
