Shake up this mortar and pestle

Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker

The Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker may look like a squat bowling pin, but it works like a mortar and pestle. The ‘pin’ separates into two halves, and you simply add your ingredients in the lower half. Top with the included ceramic ball, seal and shake. The ball crushes, grinds and mixes whatever include in the shaker.

Perfect for creating your own spice blends, dressings and marinades, the shaker is surprisingly versatile. Even a couple of cloves of whole garlic can be minced with a few solid shakes.

Available in several colors, this UK gizmo is available domestically at Kitchen Kapers for $29.99.

No need to remove the stickers on this Rubik’s Cube

Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills

Officially licensed by Rubik’s, this spin on the popular puzzle features dimensions that are the exact shape and size of the original time-chewer. However this time the puzzle that has frustrated so many, can be solved by anybody.

The Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills are built around a durable ceramic mill for grinding varying sizes of salt rock and peppercorns. The pepper mill has the red side on top, while the salt mill is easily distinguished from the two by its white top. Just place over food and twist the top row. No longer do you need to grind it out to find a solution, because these little cubes do all the grinding. There are only four possible combinations, so you have a pretty good chance of being able to finally solve the Cube!
