As far as things sitting on a shelf go, snowglobes aren’t the most mysterious of objects. However, when compared to other tchotchke that may be cluttering up the kitchen they do hold a certain allure. Their secrets given up soon after a quick shake, snowglobes have little else to hide. So imagine their surprise when flipping one over only to find a small pile of salt or pepper. When using the Gold Label Holiday Snowglobe Salt Pepper Shaker Set
Fondue is a commitment. Sure, one could always vary the flavors by mixing up dippables, but when making a choice about what to actually melt, well, you’ve made your choice; there’s no going back. While a row of two or more fondue pots might sound like a good idea (or at least a delicious one), executing that dream is probably more trouble than it is worth.

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.
Dallas is hosting the Super Bowl this year, but the Cowboys won’t be on the field. For some reason all the sports pundits pegged them as champions before the 2010 season started, but with a 1-7 start job security is more of an issue. While this may not bode well for “America’s Team,” their losses are your win, because toast is part of a complete breakfast. It seems like the rest of the NFL is having the Dallas Cowboys for breakfast, and now with the Pangea Dallas Cowboys Protoast Toaster

Spice racks are a generally overlooked item in the kitchen. After all, no matter how good one looks it is what they hold that is infinitely more interesting. However, while you can’t cook with a spice rack, you still have to look at it.
The Nambe Twist Spice Rack puts a spin on the traditional by combining aesthetics and function in one piece of countertop kitchen gear. The rotating unit is comprised of acacia wood and a distinctive metal alloy familiar to Nambe products. Includes 16 bottles with thyme, curry powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, basil, onion powder, tarragon, bay leaf, parsley, rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, coriander, cumin, mustard and chili powder. Although at a price of two hundred bucks the box most likely was sitting around for some time; you may want to replenish some of those spices.
