HOW COOL IS THAT?
I have a weakness for cool kitchen gadgets. I have an entire shelf in my basement devoted to off-beat kitchen stuff that I don't use very often, but when I pull them out, they provide lots of fun.
For instance, there's my tabletop s'mores maker. So much fun! Just light the flame and you can sit around the table and make gooey marshmallow/chocolate/graham cracker treats. YUM!
There's also my new Whoopie Pie maker. This little baby bakes 8 mini Whoopie Pies that you can fill with a variety of fillings. Instant dessert classic! [image error]
Then there's the stovetop smoker. My DH actually discovered this device when he helped out during our neighborhood's annual Men Cook the Ladies Dinner party. He was on the appetizer committee which met at a neighbor's house where those industrious dudes actually smoked their own salmon and whitefish on an indoor smoker. DH came home and announced, "We need an indoor smoker." To which I replied, "No way. No smokers in the house." He said, "Not that type of smoker." He fired up Amazon on his computer and showed me this stovetop device—just add a spoonful of wood chips, put your fish (or whatever) on the grate, cover it up, set it on the stove and let it smoke. I was dubious, figuring it would start a fire. But no—we had absolutely delish smoked salmon. Only downside is that the house smelled like Girl Scout camp for four days.
My latest discovery that I plan to order is the Corkcicle. It's this icicle-looking doo-dad attached to a wine cork that you freeze, then put into your opened, chilled bottle of wine to keep it cold without having to use an ice bucket! Cool! (literally—LOL!). Gotta get me one of those babies.
