KITCHEN GOODS

A lovely mini-funnel, made for pouring Dad's special medicine into a hip flask, but just dandy for filling salt and pepper shakers or anything else with a little yap. Stainless steel with a 1-3/8" ID intake mouth and a 5/16" ID outlet. 1-7/8" tall OA.

Let's cut to the chase here -- buy these the first time you read this, or they're going to be gone! There aren't that many of these flexible chopping mats, and the versatile 15" x 12" x 0.024" thick mats are not only ideal for small kitchens where every inch counts, they're great for any kitchen, and for cookouts, camping and picnics. Our each is a set of (2) of the translucent Euro-look mats that protect countertops from sharp knives and fresh-from-the-oven cookies, and protect food from outdoor surfaces. They can be lifted and slightly folded to funnel chopped food neatly into a pot. They're dishwasher safe, and roll up for portage or storage.

OUR SURPIE POLICE SAY: Due to our sale pricing MAX ORDER QUANTITY IS (5) Per Order. Any more and your order will fail in the shopping cart.

You'll need a set of tiny strainers. This (3)-piece, all-metal set includes (1) strainer each at 3-1/2” dia, 3” dia, and 2-1/2” dia. Cute as a bunch of baby buttons, and the current favorite of the artisanal cocktail crowd for keeping coffee crumbs out of the espresso martinis.

The worst thing about chopsticks? They’re just arms with no hands! Problem solved. Our 9” long chopsticks have (4) different whimsical "hands” at the business ends, to make picking stuff up easier. And that makes eating more fun, especially for kids. Sticks have yellow chicken feet, purple tentacles with suckers and dark purple spots, human hands in a shake or clap position, and green frog feet with webbed toes and green spots. We'll pick the style you get, since they're all fun and you love surprises. Each set also has a soft flexi-hinge for ease of use by those daunted by chopsticks. Sticks are black with a neon pink hinge. Food safe (duh!), and easy to clean with warm soapy water. Hands are not removeable, but neither are yours. Ages 4+.

These silicone hot pads double as trivets or oven mitts. Measure 7-1/8" dia x 3/16" thick with 1/4" honeycomb indentations to further dissipate heat, plus a 3/8” hole near the edge so you can hang them up. We’ll pick one in red, blue, green or orange, and you can redecorate your kitchen to match. They also double as the world’s safest frizbees.

That's Nyoh-kee to you if you didn't have an Italian nonna. If you did, she probably got her grooves on with a fork. Unless she was a stylish, latter-day nonna, in which case she made her little grooved potato dumplings with something like this board, made of beech wood with a grooved surface 4-3/4” long x 2-3/8" wide on a 3-1/4” long handle. Faster than a speeding grandmother with a floured fork.

This handsome, well made sommelier’s corkscrew (the kind that looks like a nice pocket knife) will have you pulling corks like a pro. Foil-cutting knife, corkscrew and double-hinged fulcrum/bottle opener all have flip-out action. Ergonomic handle is made of attractive polished wood and brushed stainless steel. Measures 4-3/4" long when closed, and approx 7" when doing its thing. Says “Vesper” on it, and comes in a nice cardboard box with a foam insert for storage. Now you just need a towel to drape over your forearm.

Our hand-held knife and scissors sharpener has a pair of tungsten carbide heads pre-set at the correct angle for keeping an edge on things. Just rest the blade in the notch and pull. Pistol-grip style with a guard, in black plastic. Measures 6" x 5/8" wide, with reversible and replaceable carbide cutting heads.

You know the problem with adorable cat-shaped ceramic salt and pepper shakers sitting in little baskets? They never come when you call them. Impossible to walk on leashes, too. Great for seasoning your food, though. Each measures approx 3" tall and 3" around, in white with nice, painted details. You'll get one that has (2) holes and one that has (3), but we can never remember which is salt and which is pepper! Just fill the (3)-holer with whatever you want more of. 

Have you ever bagged a chef? Doesn’t matter. These Chef’s Drawer Reusable cotton Produce Bags do matter, though, because they’re reusable, environmentally friendly and delightful to look at and touch. You’ll get a set of (8) bags, (4) solid cotton and (4) mesh in three sizes: (2) each in 8” x 9”, (1) each in 10” x 11” and (1) each in 12” X 14”. Drawstring at the top has a metal cinch. Color is natural off-white with muted green strings. Nice bags here, shoppers and chefs.

Who needs a barista? Well, a coffee shop does. But your kitchen doesn’t—as long as you have a Chef’s Drawer Profrother. We think there should be a space after “Pro” but what do we know about frother-spelling? This stainless steel frother, pro as it may be, is a compact 9” long overall, including a thin rod with a crown-like frother on the business end. Stores away nicely in a stainless steel cap that turns the whole thing into a 9-1/2” x 1-1/4” tube. Uses (3) “AAA” batteries, which you supply. Simple push-button operation. Now, go froth and conquer!

Look, Ma – no lava! Our Volcano microwave cleaner won’t melt your shoes off, but it will clean the spills and splatters in your microwave while you work a crossword puzzle or whatever you do in your downtime. Measures 5” x 5” x 5-1/2” and only requires you to fill it with vinegar and water and microwave for 5 to 8 minutes. It’ll start steaming after about 2 minutes, and soon your stains and dried food will be softened and ready to quickly wipe clean. Has a blue bottom and a white top, unlike the volcanoes in nature.

We can’t stop squeezing it and you’ll know why when you get one of your own. Our 11” long tube baster is from Farberware®, one of the most trusted names in roasting and basting. Crystal clear tapered tube has (4) markings from 1/4- to 1-oz, and (4) from 10 to 25ml. Slate-gray bulb is 2-1/4” dia with great action. You’ll be squeezing it long after the basting’s done.

When you work from home, the company picnic is in your kitchen. And you'll finally be the Employee of the Year when you fire up this 12-3/8" dia copper indoor stove-top grill. Fits on top of standard electric and gas burners, and the non-stick copper grill sits in a base that you fill with water to catch fat and oils, stop smoke, and eliminate spatter. Yes, you can still wear your Kiss the Cook apron. Now get cooking.

This set of (2) red silicone molds have (6) 2-3/4” dia half-spheres each, which, to save you doing the math, are 1-3/8” deep. Dandy for making hemispherical ice, funny cupcakes, chocolate shells, gelatin, pudding, soap and anything else that solidifies or congeals. Our VP for Remembering High School Physics assures us that if you stick two of the results together you'll get a sphere that's a fuzz-layer smaller than a tennis ball. Safe for use in microwaves, dishwashers, ovens, freezers and steamers.

And dicer and strainer. Call it the salad monkey, your very own sous chef. This plastic set has a 6” dia x 3-1/2” deep bowl with slats for a knife, and locks onto a plastic cutting board. Fill it with salad fixings, run it under the faucet to wash the greens, invert it onto the cutting-board bottom and slice away. Turn it 90 degrees and chop the fixings smaller. Includes a tab with a hole for hanging it up to dry. At this price you can buy a few for your friends and all get healty together.

Four fine funnels, a fantastic fare. Sturdy plastic, the biggest is 4-1/8" dia at the mouth, with a 1/2" dia spout, the smallest has a 1-7/8" dia mouth, 1/4" spout. The other (2) are in between. Frankly, it's freaky fun flowing fluids from four funnels!

This is one of those heat-morphing mugs that start off one way and end up another after you pour your favorite hot beverage into them. We can’t get enough of them, and this (12)-oz’er from Kikkerland® is particularly cool, starting out black with skulls, anchors, ships and sea creatures, and morphing—with the addition of liquid—into a full-color map of Skull Island. Works the same with coffee, tea, cocoa or rum, as long as it’s hot enough. Load up on caffeine to follow the map, and save the rum for the celebration. Please note: This mug (or any of our other heat reactive mugs, for that matter) is not for use in microwaves or dishwashers. Please wash by hand to ensure the longevity of the thermal reactive paint coating.
