There are times when nothing will do but having food, now. These moments of low blood sugar usually end up with a bad decision being made. At least for the food-related mistakes that may happen in times of hunger there is hope. No longer do you have to suffer through a greasy fast-food meal or microwaved monstrosity simply because you don’t have the energy to make something good.
Grill baskets are wonderful things. Designed not only to hold delicate fish (or meats) for grill cooking, but also perfect for keeping small vegetables in place. Nothing quite beats marinated fire-roasted vegetables served with a perfectly cooked piece of fish. Problem is, sometimes without the right equipment it can be difficult to keep the food from falling into the fire.
This Flexible Grill Basket is made from carbon steel and has a non-stick finish. The heavy-duty plastic handle makes flipping a breeze, while the flexible nature of the mesh allows for it to contour around your food. A sliding lock further helps to keep food from slipping out. When it’s all said and done, and your delicious meal is safely on your plate (or in your belly), cleaning up is simply a matter of popping the basket into the dishwasher.

The Sharper Image is offering up this pair of toasters, complete with sleek styling and backlit controls. They are available in two models: the Bella Pro 2-Slice Toaster or the Bella Pro 4-Slice Toaster.
The Sharper Image was always known for providing for some entertaining downtime while at the mall. In stark contrast to all the useless gadgets that were on display in their retail stores, these toasters actually appear to be useful.

Available at Bed Bath & Beyond. $79.99 for the two-slice model, and $99.99 for the four-slice version.
For every appliance there is an anti-appliance. However, unlike matter and anti-matter, in the kitchen world the two are designed to meet. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they should.

Options abound in our world; for every item that is purchasable there is an accessory to go along with it. Like the plastic-lined couches so familiar in living rooms of the past, sometimes things designed to protect simply get in the way. While there seems to be little chance that your can-opener and can-opener cover will face annihilation if ever the two shall meet, you just never know. Best to play it safe and keep those appliances in everyday use.
