Things move fast in the kitchen. It’s easy to reach out and grab the wrong thing when cooking up a storm. Of course, this includes hot cookware, but there is another threat lurking when the cooking is fast and furious: The Mess.

Having a hand towel nearby while cooking is essential. Having one that also does duty as pot holder is twice as nice. The Campanelli Cooking Buddy (available in three different colors) is an over-the-shoulder cooking accessory that looks to keep the cooking action smooth.

Ah September, the weather finally starts to turn, the kids go back to school and Halloween. Wait. A month (or two) early, you say? Darn it. Well, in that case, here we have a Skeleton Hand Bones Oven Mitt.

It’s not quite a Halloween decoration, but it is a functional two-sided fun oven mitt that looks like a human x-ray bone scan. Pretty cool. Hands up, who is ready for Halloween?

Whether you say coozie or koozie, coosie or kozy, one thing matters most and that is if it keeps your beer cozy and kold, err, cold. Oh, and that it comes in a BBQ apron.

The Budweiser “Grill Master” Apron Kit covers all the bases, from the “insulated storage pocket,” to the included grill accessories, which include a bottle opener, padded oven mitt and towel. All that’s left to do is fire up the grill.

Product Description:
Claim your rightful title of grill master with this well-equipped apron kit! Apron features the classic Budweiser bowtie logo screen printed across the center chest and comes with a detachable bottle opener, padded oven mitt and towel. It even has an insulated storage pocket to keep your Bud frosty cold while you’re standing next to that hot grill. One-size apron measures 24″ x 32″.

How many monkeys does it take to cook a meal? Two! At least when you have the Monkey Silicone Pot Holders at the ready. (And they might even do the dishes for you too!)

Oven mitts have a way of accumulating a bit of every meal they help prepare. Put to use grabbing hot pots and pans, they pick up stains and sauce splashes as they go about their duty, eventually looking like something out of a horror movie. Not so with the Mastrad OrkaPlus A82301 Silicone Oven Mitt with Cotton Lining.

I’m not sure this is necessarily what you want to see while standing next to the grill, but in case you like your burgers well done, perhaps the Flames Barbecue Mitt is for you. Personally, after an early experience with too much lighter fluid, I tend to appreciate the low and slow school of cooking.
