Unicorn Magnum Plus Pepper Mill 9-in.

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Tom David, Inc.


I've loved fresh ground black pepper for a long, long time. I use a lot of it - generally enough to raise eyebrows from heathens that don't know the pure love of Pepper hehe.

It always bugged me how long you'd have to grind grind grind to get a decent amount of pepper on your dish. It'd take forever and sometimes I'd just give up and settle for less than I wanted.

Along those lines, ever had a recipe call for 2 TBS of fresh ground black pepper? Holy Cow! Talk about some marathon grinding! It'd be tough to get to the mark and super annoying because I'd just as soon add extra pepper most of the time.

THIS pepper mill solves both of those problems and has an added 'stop annoying me' benefit too.

R H. Forschner by Victorinox 3-Piece Paring Knife Set, Black Poly Handles

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: R H Forschner by Victorinox


I almost didn't buy this set because I figured I'd have no use for a gimmicky curved knife and a serrated blade, I only wanted the normal paring knife, but the set was only a little bit more expensive than an individual paring knife. As it turns out I use the curved knife more than any other knife I own, and the serrated one more than the normal paring knife- I was fully prepared to hide those two knives in the back of my drawer and never look at them again, but they are really great. I'm sure you can get better knives somewhere, but not at anything remotely close to this price. I am pretty picky about knives, and Forschner's are definitely the best I have used. I also strongly recommend the 8 inch chefs knife. I guess the best way to sum up ... Read More:

Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Taylor Thermometers


I hate this thing. It worked fine at first, then started getting stuck on a '888.88 degrees' reading every time I turned it on. My dad (electrical engineer) took a look and declared this to be normal (I forget the term he used, but the gist was that it was just a sign the thing was getting power from the batteries before it actually started working) and said I should be more patient. Well... he didn't stick around to see how patient I'd have to be! If I just leave it alone, it sometimes switches to an actual temperature reading after several minutes (which I don't consider a reasonable time to wait) but most typically stays on that display permanently until it's turned off and on again. Or I can try fiddling with the off/on switch - if I can move it just ... Read More:

West Bend 77203 Electric Can Opener, Metallic

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: West Bend


This West Bend Electric Can Opener can-opener is absolutely gorgeous (I got it in metallic)! It's elegant and stylish and easy to use. Without even a glance at the directions, I managed to open a rather large, unweildy can with no problems at all. The cut edges of the can were not overly sharp (nor was the lid sharp).
I was impressed by the ease and speed of the process--even for a klutz like me! I also like the fact that the cutting mechanism can be removed and cleaned. It's a great can-opener!

Having accomplished my first and primary purpose, I then read the user manual because I wasn't quite as sure of myself with the knife sharpener because I couldn't figure out how to turn it on. That's because you don't turn it on: the knife ... Read More:

Oxo Good Grips Corer

I was a bit concerned that the core would stick in the tool, but it was easy to dislodge. It is really great to be able to core an apple and use it whole.

Oxo Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: OXO


I bought this mug on the recommendation of many people - and it IS easy to use and seems to be leak proof, but am thinking it will be hard to clean. The mug breaks down into to pieces, the lid and the mug, but there's no way to take the lid apart to really clean it. Just called the company to ask if I was missing something, but was told that no, the lid doesn't come apart, and they recommend washing it immediately after us, or at least rinsing out the lid when finished. Easy to say, harder for me to do - I tend to forget to clean it out right away and would have liked something that I could take apart and scrub when it gets gross.

Emerson Electric Wine Bottle Opener - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Emerson


A "Consumer Reports" favorable rating convinced me to buy the product. Not disappointed. It takes about ten(10) seconds to uncork a wine bottle. Simply amazing. No one using a conventional method is that quick. The opener has a beautiful black matte finish and looks handsome in the kitchen. Also comes with a foil cutter discreetly hidden in the charging stand. A great wine opener you will not regret purchasing.
