Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press

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


at last, a product that surpasses my expectations. I splurged for this after reading a recommendation in Cooks Illustrated. In the past 50 years I've been cooking, I've wasted so much money on garlic shredders/mincers etc. that don't' work or so messy to clean they've not worth the effort. But this really does work and is a snap to use and clean. Just go for it and buy it--in the long run you will save money.

Misto Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Misto International LLC


When I first purchased a Misto sprayer, it was around $25.00 but even at less than half the price, I still wouldn't buy it again. I absolutely loved it at first but way too much effort in trying to figure out how to keep this thing working! Also, when I hadn't used it in over a month, some sort of mold was growing on the plastic tubing inside, yuck. The mold turned me off for life so now I buy a similiar product in a see through sprayer WITH the olive oil included at Marshalls, TJ Maxx or Home Goods for $4.99.

Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner

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


This is the second Presto pressure canner we have purchased. A smaller one was purchased in 2004 and has received much service for home canning. We bought the 23 quart size since it can be used as a pressure canner and is tall enough to also serve as a water bath canner for quart jars. With the 23 quart size you can stack pint jars on top one another for two layers which is a great time saver when you have a lot of food to can. We have not used the canner for cooking large amounts of food, but there is a recipe book enclosed instructing how to use the unit as a cooker. Canning instructions are clear and many foods are covered. This canning season we used both canners at once with excellent results.

Makes opening wine very easy. Never fails to be asked: Where did you get that? Everyone that doesn't have an opener like this wants one. Seriously.

Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner

from: OXO


I bought this spinner to replace my old pull cord version. That cord was always flopping out of the cupboard and being generally annoying. I love how this version is self contained and you can push the pump down and lock it in place for storage. Dries my greens quickly!

This mitt is wonderful with the iron skillet I purchased! It has definitely saved on the amount of burns I get from grabbing the handle without it!

Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug

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


I bought this cup four months ago. It worked great, the coffee stayed hot, and only occasionally would it leak. But the lid would get stuck from time to time, until it broke in half, making the cup unusable.

Vacu Vin Wine Saver Extra Stoppers, Set of 4

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Vacu Vin Inc.


I love a glass of good wine with dinner... OK, sometimes two. Much to my doctor's relief, I don't drink a whole bottle at one sitting. To save the leftover wine, I use the Vacu-vin system. It's extremely affordable, the toppers are reusable, and it's much more convenient than some of the higher priced vacuum systems (or the nitrogen spray). Plus it's a fun workout pumping out the air! Make sure you get the pump, too.

Oxo Good Grips Cake Tester

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


I was always looking for a toothpick long enough for my cakes. I could buy martini toothpicks but then I would have to store them and they are a one use item (not green at all). I keep this with the baking supplies and it is always there. For the price, I am glad I did it.
