Would You Ventu?

The Ventu Strainer Bowl, a Quirky project.

It doesn’t exist yet, but it could with your help. The Ventu Strainer Bowl, a Quirky project is a mash-up between a colander and a serving bowl. For whatever reason, colanders have always enjoyed a reputation as something to avoid in the kitchen–it is just too tempting to try to strain pasta and whatnot with either the lid or a fork. Capitalizing (maybe) on this idea is a project that needs your support.

If 1800 people commit to purchasing one, it will exist. While it looks like it would be an elegant solution to a common kitchen shortcut, it appears that it may have some limitations, mainly the concept of it being a wet serving device one would bring to the table. Get around that though with something to rest it in and you got yourself something there. In any event it’s a good idea that only needs a little help.

***Spoiler Alert. It doesn’t exist. The idea however is not down the drain. Check out this 4-1 Colander meets bowl meets strainer meets… slicer?

Owls Ask Who Would Like Some Salt And Pepper

Grasslands Road Petals Owl Salt And Pepper Set

Collectible salt and pepper shakers have one major flaw: they aren’t grinders. Freshly ground pepper is vastly superior to the pre-ground sawdust that populates store shelves. The solution? Stick the salt and pepper shakers on the shelf and look at them while you grind whole pepper over your meal. While freshly ground pepper may taste better, it usually doesn’t come in an overly cute container. Overly cute, as in cute overload, as in: Grasslands Road Petals Owl Salt And Pepper Set. While the small salt and pepper shaker set won’t maximize the flavor of the meal, it may just be perfect for the owl fanatic on your gift list, allowing them to stare at each other throughout every meal.

An Endless String Of Pie

Pi Pie Plate

Pie one can eat; pi, one cannot eat. Although considering the calories in a single slice of pie, that’s probably a good thing. An endless string of pie might sound like a good idea, but after a few pieces anybody would appreciate the truncated version. In any event, the Pi Pie Plate being 10-inches can only hold so much pi.

Product Features:

* Pies will taste better in this pi plate
* Traditional 10″ stoneware pie plate
* Microwave, oven and dishwasher safe.
* ComputerGear Exclusive
