Eek gads! What is that unsightly thing? Oh, it’s your old plastic salad spinner. Hide that thing quick, before the neighbors see it. A salad spinner is a necessity in the kitchen as nothing is better for cleaning and drying leafy vegetables, herbs, and berries. But plastic? Plastic is so 1997. Bamboo is the new plastic. This Bamboo Salad Spinner works just like a standard salad spinner, but replaces the plastic bowl with an environmentally friendly bamboo bowl for spinning and for serving. A serving bowl you could be proud to show off to your family members, neighbors, or the UPS driver. And you could even burn it if you needed warmth in a freak indoor ice storm. Try that with your plastic salad spinner.

Everyone has a top three list of things they fear most in life. Mine are food poisoning, shower curtains, and being attacked by an angry mob of chickens outside a KFC. I feel I can control the food poisoning fear by frequent hand washing, especially during meal preparation. I must wash my hands a dozen times for every meal I make. With cereal, it’s only about nine times.
The fine folks at Fred have taken the spoon rest design literally and created… drum roll please… The 
When I was a kid I used to spread as much butter as a slice of bread could hold, then stick it in the toaster to toast. I was a child genius—isn’t it obvious? Mom, if you’re reading this. I don’t think that had anything to do with all of the toasters that caught on fire. Some coincidence, eh?
When you absolutely, positively need 1/4” tomato slices, what do you do? Sure, you could dig out the measuring tape, a hammer, and a laser level. Or you could even call in the Army Corps of Engineers, but there is a better way. The

Priced fresh herbs lately? Forget investing in gold–buy basil. And the sad part is how quickly herbs go bad if you don’t use them up right away. But here’s a great solution–the Herb Savor by New York based Prepara. This device will keep your herbs fresh for up to three weeks by keeping the stems submerged in water and the leaves propped up where they stay cool and dry. This prolongs the freshness, saves you money in the long run, and ensures you have some of your favorite herbs on hand at all times. Very cool.
Let’s face it, when you’re pretending a fork is an airplane to get some food into Junior — well, Junior knows that’s a fork. Remember, Junior has the Discovery Channel now. The whole airplane thing and the gassy noises that come out of your mouth for added effect only work so long before you have a face full of creamed peas. The Air Fork One Kid’s Fork by Fred and Friends is a fun way to get your little one to eat up. And it’s OK to make the gassy noises still. Better buy two as you might never get it away from Dad.
Do you cook with a lot of garlic, onion, or fish? If so, don’t be offended when your family members, friends, coworkers, or even complete strangers off the street call you “stinky hands” and run away from you flailing their arms about. Regular soap just doesn’t get rid of those funky odors no matter how much you scrub. The Orka DEOS Stainless Steel Soap gets rid of those persistent odors by a process called oxido-reduction, which really means “magic” in English. This tear-dropped shaped gem of a kitchen gadget is even on display at the New York Museum of Modern Art. I can only only assume they chop a lot of onions and garlic while staring at a Van Gogh.
If you’re like me and have a terrible habit of using public library books as cutting boards, the genius minds at Fred and Friends have come to the rescue. Slice, dice, and julienne all you want on this cutting board with no fear of destroyed book fines. Made from solid hard beechwood, lightly dressed with mineral oil, and measuring 6”x9.5”. A whimsical addition to any kitchen.
