Fruit Knife and Half Dig Spoon – Perfect for Kiwis and Avocados

stainless fruit scoopFound this interesting tool and almost passed it over as a “one use tool” as it’s advertised as a kiwi knife as you can see in the picture above. Made to both cut and scoop out the contents of a lovely kiwi. But this tool will serve well for avocados and more! This is a small, inexpensive and handy multi-tool utensil that is perfect in any kitchen drawer.

Karate Lettuce Chopper

Gama-Go Karate Lettuce ChopperCutting lettuce with a metal knife isn’t recommended because it can cause browning of the lettuce leaves. Using your hands or a plastic chopper causes tearing that allows leaves to break along their natural fault lines, rupturing fewer cells and reducing premature browning.

That and you don’t want your 8-year old waving a sharp knife around in the kitchen. So do you want good looking lettuce, to keep your extra fingers, get some help in the kitchen and make sure everyone has fun? If so, look no further than the Karate Lettuce Chopper by Gamma-Go.

This serrated plastic piece of fun filled kitchen cutlery is child and dishwasher safe. Also handy (pun!) for zombie attacks (pretend ones).

Bamboo forks and picks for snacks and cocktails

bamboo snack and cocktail forksAh…summer. Ah…the heat. Ah…the fancy drinks. Ah…the snacks.

Patio snacks and fancy cocktails are not complete without that extra flair. These bamboo forks are perfect for appetizers and made of environmental friendly bamboo. And the cute little knotted picks in a cocktail will remind you of that last trip to Mexico (well it does me anyways).

There are one hundred 3.5″ mini forks and three hundred knotted picks consisting 100 of each of 3.1″, 3.5″, 4.7″ sizes.

Please don’t be the person that uses toothpicks instead. I swear to you twice now I’ve been served appetizers on mint flavored toothpicks. The second time it happened I had just made a joke about the first time only to discover to the hosts dismay that she just made the same mistake!

Stainless Steel Barbecue Fork by OXO Good Grips

oxo grips stainless steel barbecue forkIt’s that time of year when all food should be slowly roasted in the open air. Whether you are using charcoal or propane or an open fire you need a good barbecue fork.

My experience with backyard cutlery has usually not been good. I’ve been gifted sets of bbq utensils and none are quite up to snuff. So I’ve taken to buying one quality item at a time.

OXO Good Grips line of products have done me well in the past so I’m looking at their stainless steel barbecue fork. It has a soft rubber handle and sturdy construction. It’s 19 inches long and weighs a light 7 oz with a slight curve giving it extra lifting strength. Dishwasher and of course barbecue safe.
