Sango Splash Tableware Collection

Garnish home cooked meals with something a little exotic-Sango's Splash collection imports a traditional Indonesian design to tables far from the equator for a lovely artisan presentation. In a medley of rich brown tones ranging from tawny ochre to creamy espresso to cinnamon chocolate, each piece showcases spiral brushstrokes and soft geometric accents "splashed" together in a natural yet well-balanced design. Three separate layers of matte and gloss glazes that incorporate subtle purple and blue shading add even deeper dimension for a tranquil nuanced mood. Because the pieces are crafted using reactive glazes, they stretch, speckle, and drip differently in the kiln, and each one develops its own variations that by itself makes a truly original work of art. Bold enough for entertaining, Splash's simple, inviting shapes also make it comfortable for everyday dining. This collection is designed as a highly coordinated set with an extensive selection of dinnerware, bakeware, and accessories available; however, any piece would do just as nicely mingled with solid-color dinnerware that picks up one of the Splash hues. Crafted of durable stoneware with a lead-free finish, the tableware goes safely into the dishwasher and microwave for convenient use.Price :

Panasonic NC-EM40P 4.1-Quart Electric Thermo Pot

Perfect for large home gatherings or business meetings, this electric thermo pot boils and dispenses up to 4.1 quarts of water for serving tea to a crowd. The pot automatically boils a full container of water in 35 minutes when plugged in. However, it is equipped with a microcomputer for more automated and electricity-reducing operation and can be set to start boiling 6 hours later as well. A "keep warm" mode automatically kicks in after boiling and holds water at temperatures of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 4 minutes (ideal for baby formula), 185 degrees Fahrenheit (for Japanese tea), or 208 degrees F for 13 to 14 minutes (for coffee, tea, or noodles). For tap water that is high in chlorination, the pot has the option of setting a longer boil, which reduces the taste and amount of chlorine in the water. Hot water is safely dispensed through a spout on the front of the unit at the touch of a button. For safety, a locking lid ensures that boiling water won't spill if the pot is accidentally knocked over and overheating protection shuts the power off automatically if the unit is set to boil with a dry container. The plastic exterior is cool to the touch to further reduce the chance of burns. Other features on this unit include an easy-to-read water level indicator on the front, a rotating base, and a plastic carrying handle. The thermo pot has a nonstick interior, which makes it easy to clean, and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamondesales rank : 10834Customer Rating : 100% | Price : $90.59 (new)

Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 2-Piece Paring Knife and Utility Set

This invaluable two-piece set contains two of the most-used knives in the kitchen: a three-inch parer, for cleaning, peeling, removing blemishes on fruits and vegetables, and other delicate tasks; and a five-inch boning/utility knife, for trimming fat, de-boning chicken, cutting sandwiches, and other small- to medium-scaled cutting jobs. As a part of Chicago Cutlery’s Walnut Tradition line of cutlery, these knives combine high performance with excellent value. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, they’re made from high-carbon, 420 stainless steel with carbon to keep edges sharper longer and chromium to resist rust and stains, while Chicago’s exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time. A full tang extends from the tip of each knife to the end of the handle for improved balance and strength. Comfortable walnut handles offer the rich warmth of wood and a classic look; they’re securely held to the blade with triple-compression brass rivets for added safety and stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best results. --Mary Parksales rank : 1662Customer Rating : 87.5% | Price : $11.99 (new)

Rubbermaid 6-Piece Collapsibles Storage Set

To say that Rubbermaid Collapsibles revolutionize food storage may be a bit extreme. But they sure make it simpler and more efficient. Thanks to pleated side walls that collapse a little or a lot, the containers can be customized to the job at hand and stored practically flat. To ensure that the containers withstand steady use, Rubbermaid tests them for rugged durability, and the flexible rubber lids are reliably leak-resistant. Together with the lids, the flattened bowls measure just 1 inch high, so you can fit several in a single kitchen drawer, and they are conveniently safe in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. This 6-piece set includes all three available sizes--2-1/2-, 4-, and 6-cup--with matching lids. Individual sizes are also available. --Emily Bedardsales rank : 3195Customer Rating : 75% | Price : $13.99 (new)

A required tool in the home of a seasoned cook, this strainer has a fine-grid mesh for draining the excess liquid from just about any food, including fruit, vegetables, and pasta.

Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notarosales rank : 11856Customer Rating : 100% | Price : $19.99 (new)
