Want to make sure the steaks you’re grilling are rare, medium, or well done? Then stick them with a Steak Button. The Steak Button is a staineless steel thermometer you push into your steaks to make sure steaks are cooked just right. They also wipe clean after use, and we think look pretty darn cool. They are sold in a set of four, and that little display is made out of glass that also wipes clean.

We really like this blender from JC Penny, because the shape, color, and accessories seem spot on. The Cooks 5-in-1 Power Blender chops, grinds, mixes, whips and blends and features a stainless steel grinding and blending blade. The 12 piece set also includes 2 tall blending cups, 1 small grinding cup, 2 shaker tops, 2 resealable lids, and 2 comfort lip rings all for $29 bucks. Not too shabby and surprisingly JC Penny.



Kuhn Rikon has a new set of hot pan products including this 2 liter casserole. The heavy-weight, non-reactive 18/10 stainless cook pan works well on both conventional and induction stoves. It features a heat-efficient core that distributes heat evenly so food won’t burn or stick, and there is a serving holder to keep food hot after cooking for 2 hours. It’s nice to see a pot that comes with a little extra stuff, and serving a casserole table side in an attractive dish and serving holder is a plus.

BeepEgg is a bit of a different egg timer because it plays tunes while bobbing in the hot boiling water to indicate the different hardness or softness of the eggs cooking.

You can also store BeepEgg right alongside your normal eggs in the refrigerator because BeepEgg is [...]

We use a BBQ Smoker Box but ours isn’t as nice as this one. The current model we have is one that fits in the grill grates and is triangle shaped, but impossible to get to when wanting to add more chips. This smoker box is much better in design as it goes on top of the grill grates and allows for a bit more temperature control as you can move it around like a pan. And if you haven’t added a little smoke to your ribs, [...]

Some people have pets – dogs, cats, horses even iguanas and sometimes rocks – but Colleen Anderson seems to view her stove as almost a part of the family. She wrote about it for West Virginia Public Broadcasting:
