Toaster Teapot

Toaster Teapot

It’s tea time! What is a perfect pair? Tea and toast of course. Now you can have your cake and eat it too, or would that be have your tea and eat your toast too?

With this fun teapot from The Teapottery, you can brew a pot of tea and simultaneously make a piece of toast.

Be sure to have a jar of lemon curd around to top it off!

Da Gennaro Pizza Oven – Cook pizza on your countertop

Da Gennaro Pizza Oven
Pizza is one of my favorite foods…right after avocados.

Over the past few years I’ve really started liking homemade pizza more and more…though I have to say, it doesn’t hurt to have a wife who’s an amazing cook. But regardless, I really have enjoyed making my own pizza lately.

The Da Gennaro Pizza Oven lets you whip up pizzas like you were Papa John himself…right in the comfort of your home. Supposedly it will cook just about anything else that would work in a “wood burning stove”…which I assume to be pretty much anything.

OXO Corn Slitter – Keep that corn out of your teeth

OXO Corn Slitter
Corn is probably one of my favorite vegetables. Unfortunately I’m really not a huge fan of corn on the cob. No matter what you just end up getting corn stuck in your teeth and getting corn juice squirted in your face the whole time you’re trying to eat it.

But the nice thing about corn on the cob is that it’s usually significantly tastier than the stuff you get in a can. So, to get the best of both worlds, check out the OXO Corn Slitter!

Just use the gadget to strip away the corn kernals before you cook them and then you’ll have the tastiness of fresh corn without having to pick it out of your teeth for hours afterwards!


Fishbone Ice Tray

Fishy Ice

Go on and admit it. Fun-shaped ice brings out the kid in you and you love it. Frozen water in odd shapes (especially in the shape of a fish) is certainly a conversation starter.

Whether you’ve got a kid who wants an underwater themed birthday party or if you want your own underwater themed party, this Fishbone Ice Tray is for you.

It’ll set you back around $9.

Rick Bayless Avocado Scooper

Rick Bayless Avocado Scooper
So I guess now would be a great time to go ahead and admit that I have an addiction. I’m completely, unapologetically addicted to avocados. Seriously.

I generally eat atleast 2 sandwiches a week that include avocados in some form or fashion. I love guacamole. I love just about anything that includes even a hint of avocado. In the words of my friend Ricardo, “avocados are nature’s candy.”

As good as avocados are, they can be a bit tricky to get out of their peel. And getting a full half of an avocado out without butchering it is also a bit of a feat.

Enter the Rick Bayless Avocado Scooper. It has the perfect curvature and sizing to scoop any avocado out and give yourself the perfect half.

At $14.95 it’s actually one of the more affordable random kitchen gadgets out there.


The Smiley Bowl

Smiley Bowl
The last thing I need is some bowl or plate that begs me to eat the food on it but here we are and this bowl is looking right at me and literally “smiling”…just begging for me to stick my hand in it.

The Smiley Bowl is a winner of this years Formland Design Award and is crafted out of mouth-blown glass. It is purposely shaped to appear as though it is smiling at you.

It is available in lime, orange, turquoise, red and black (something for every season/occasion) for around $90 per bowl (handmade kitchenware comes at a price). It should be available from Eva Solo this fall.
