The Holding Cell

Many hosts or hostesses find themselves in need of a convenient place to put their phone while they are prepping for a party, that’s why everyone needs a Holding Cell. While this handy tool can also be used for charging your phone in a bed or sofa too, the kitchen proved to be the most useful place for this device. Just place a holding cell in a drawer, or mount it on a wall and you can still use or charge your phone, while making sure it isn’t in your way.  You can also use if for a baby monitor or a remote control.  You can buy one here.

Wine Condoms

This review is simple. These Wine Condoms work well, they are an awesome conversation starter and they are a hit. They sell out frequently.  The condoms were created by a mother and son team and keep an open bottle of wine fresher longer without adding any extra height to the bottle.  You’ve gotta get a set of them -- if you are a wine drinker you need to get at least two. You can find them at Amazon or here.

KRUPS Deep Fryer

Krups makes items not associated with coffee could echo the sentiment: “Gambling at Rick’s? I’m shocked.” Yes, Krups makes other appliances, and like their coffee makers, the quality is quite exceptional. The Krups Deep Fryer offers four preset options cook up the fried favorites home cooks tend to make most often: chicken nuggets, onion rings, fries and doughnuts; always cooking them at the optimal temperatures for just the right amount of time. There are many options, as well as three frying baskets, which allow you to cook large portions in the larger basket and two different foods at the same time in the smaller baskets. The best thing is no odor.

This is available at Crate & Barrel, Macy’s and other outlets, but you may want to explore Krups a bit further…

This stalwart of the food industry has an abundance of small appliances available that will delight any foodie for the holidays and beyond.

 

The Wand by Pure Wine

Many wine drinkers complain that while they love their wine, they believe that drinking it may give them headaches, the Wand by Pure Wine is a cool wine purifier that allegedly removes the sulfites and the negative effects that come from having a glass of wine.  The way it works is that you take the special Wand, put it in your glass for three minutes, and then drink. This product is fun to try with friends and it also helps aerate the wine, thus maximizing its flavor potential. The Wand comes in packs of eight and may be purchased here.

The Capresso MT900 is not only beautiful to look at, but this 10-Cup Rapid Brew Coffee Maker features a stainless steel heating system, ensuring coffee brews at the perfect temperature and water never comes in contact with aluminum. The ending result is a great cuppa in very little time, around seven minutes to be more precise. The Capresso MT900 and other cool accessories may be found here.

Peugeot Whisky Tasting Set

Whisky or Whiskey lovers typically have a method to enjoying their favorite libation. Some prefer to keep it neat and or sip with Whisky Stones as to not dilute the flavor with water, but others like to try new ways to taste their Whisky of choice. The Peugeot Whisky Tasting Set includes: One Whisky Glass, One Chilling Base, One Coaster and it just looks interesting right out of the box, but it makes the experience a little better when you actually try it. This may be found at Amazon here.

 Zoku Ice Ball Molds

Silicone ice molds aren’t new, but the Zoku Ice Ball Molds are different than past iterations: they are actually convenient.  Older varieties of silicone ice molds were round with a little hole in top, with no base, so filling them became a contest of wills, and the will of the mold, is usually stronger than the seeker of ice. These molds are stackable and are easy to use and then produce large spheres that keep your drink colder longer, without having to sacrifice valuable freezer real estate, or your sanity when trying to fill them. The Zoku Ice Ball Molds may be found here.
