Just when we thought there weren't any new ways to roast a chicken, All-Clad comes out with the suspension bridge of chicken roasters. This roasting pan has a cantilevered arm designed to hold a chick...
In our recent article on useless kitchen gadgets, we were all a little surprised to see the fervent defense of spoon rests! Personally I've always found it easier to rest a drippy spoon on the side of...
We have on good authority from a friend that these things work really well. The idea: You heat the granite disk in the oven or freeze it in the freezer, and it will keep hot things hot and cold things...
Yes, yes, yes. We know this jalapeño pepper corer is a uni-tasker. But some uni-taskers are that way for a reason: there's no other way to get the job done. So we want to know, is this particular uni...
This is the time of year when juicing just about anything sounds really good. Oranges, lemons, limes — how about a fresh orange juice spritzer or a bucket of limeade? Yes please. We have some sm...
This slicing guide is a product that we instinctively feel like we should ridicule. What a unitasker! And yet we are so uncoordinated that our tomato slices often come out either wispy or chunky &mdas...
Don't be too alarmed if you see mouse ears the next time you visit the produce department. It's not a rodent infestation – it's Disney's latest marketing venture. The company's characters are now ...

I had to giggle a little when I saw these at Crate & Barrel yesterday and Elizabeth's Prescription Bottles as Spice Storage post inspired me to toss you another Hot or Not this afternoon. Take the sur...
Don't call us crazy just yet. We just finished a prescription, and as we were about to toss the container, we realized it was the perfect size for fitting a big tablespoon inside. That's not always th...
I rubbed a whole chicken with salt yesterday, prepping it for roasting, and as I awkwardly pumped my soap bottle with the back of my hand, trying to keep all that germ-y chicken juice away from my cou...
We eat salads straight through the winter, turning to cabbage, fennel, and other winter greens to satisfy our cravings. So the challenge of washing, drying, and storing a variety of greens for salad i...
Do you use plastic wrap and aluminum foil in your kitchen? We are trying cut down on our use of plastic wrap, but we still keep it around, and we do use foil frequently. (It's recyclable!) So we're cu...
While reading the article in this week's New York Times Dining section about cellphones being useful kitchen accessories, we paused on one recipe that was mentioned as being a popular click at KraftFo...
Are you grocery shopping today for the weekend? When you go to the grocery store, do you pick the self-checkout line? It's that newfangled way of checking, scanning, and paying for your groceries wher...
Counter space around the sink is always at a premium in small and busy kitchens. We never seem to have enough room to let our dishes dry - and we also don't know where to let our wineglasses dry safel...
Hmm. We like the idea of these reusable stone cubes, made from "Swedish pollution-free rock." You put them in the freezer for an hour and they keep a drink cold without diluting it. On the other hand,...
Earlier today we talked about cleaning your oven, but now we're wondering - how many of you cut down on cleanup by just using a liner in your oven (or toaster oven)? Do you think oven liners are worth...
We first heard the rumblings of the bacon-as-dessert movement when Vosges introduced Mo's Bacon Chocolate Bar, but the rumbling is now a roar. Bacon is weaving its savory path through cookies, ice cre...
Our initial reaction to these nonstick frittata pans from Williams-Sonoma was that this was just another space-gobbling unitasker. Then we saw that there were actually two separate pans interlocked at...
We saw these individual pie slice pans at King Arthur Flour yesterday and we were both charmed and bemused. Individual pie slices - would you use these? ...
So, have you seen the new milk jug yet? What? You didn't know there was a new milk jug? Indeed there is. But if you don't shop at larger retailers like Wal-Mart and Costco you may not have seen it yet...
Have you ever made one of these? We certainly have. These sheet cakes iced with white frosting and topped with strawberry (or raspberry) stripes and blueberry stars are all the rage on the 4th of July...
OK, we need some help here. We have never understood the appeal of a monogrammed steak brand. Is it for the grillmaster who already has everything? Is there some deep satisfaction in burning your init...
