When I have to squeeze lemons for cooking or for adding some fresh flavor to my iced tea, I'm tired of being squirted in the face and plucking out those sneaky rogue seeds from these mischievous little tropical fruits. Maybe you don't have these issues, but I seem very prone to abuse from my citrus. I found another solution to this dilemma, the cool new Squeeze Me - Lemon Squeezer ($27).

Simply drop a lemon half into the bulb end of the Squeeze Me Lemon Squeezer, attach the spout and squeeze away, hmmm, feel free to absolutely crush them! As the fragrant juice flows forth from the spout, all of the seeds and pulp are safely contained and held at bay by a built-in retainer. If there is any unusued juice left over, simply store the whole thing in the fridge.

This is a great culinary weapon in the war against lemons that like to assault and frustrate the cook, but where there's lemons, there's always evil limes! added on 2008-07-25

Does your toaster still pop up the toast? Well, down is the new up in the 21st century with the cool new Trapdoor Toaster ($80). After this unique 1,400 watt toaster has finished precision-browning your bread, bagel, waffle, pastry and more, it drops it down through a trapdoor and onto a serving tray. The drop down concept is kind of fun and easier than digging out toast that gets stuck, but I actually think my favorite feature is the internal cord storage. added on 2008-07-18

If you grow your own tomatoes at home, you know that by the end of summer you'll have so many of them that there isn't any possible way of ever eating them all and your friends, co-workers, family and neighbors simply won't take a single tomato more. If you always end up with a ridiculous over-successful tomato harvest too and want to be able to make your own fresh tomato sauces or just want to can them for later, you need to check out this easy-to-use Tomato Press ($60).

Simply load up the huge 10 inch hopper with cut tomatoes, turn the handle and watch as the stainless steel screen automatically separates the tomato pulp from the seeds and skin. It even strains other fruits and vegetables as well, so you'll be making and enjoying healthy, nutritious, all-natural, preservative-free sauces, soups, jams, baby foods, pie fillings, juices, and much more in no time. added on 2008-07-02

The Soldier Egg Cup ($13) brings the term shell-shocked to a whole new level. This cool new egg cup holds a delicious soft-boiled egg in the security or hmmm captivity of three sword-wielding plastic military soldiers. Why?

The hot new trend in barbeque cooking is drunken chicken. First, you take a whole chicken and cram an opened can of beer up it's behind before placing the it upright on the grill. If you've tried it too, you'll know that the chicken comes out moist and delicious. Well, if getting cooked with a can of beer up it's butt was bad enough, now there are these funny new Ceramic Drunk Chicken Heads ($15). Just pop one of these three amusing chicken heads on top of the chicken before cooking. I think the shocked Bug-Eyed Chicken head is my favorite and certainly the most appropriate. Funny and morbid at the same time. added on 2008-04-12

It's grilling season again and it's time to get your grill ready for a long summer of BBQ fun and fire. If you're like me, you put your grill away last Fall without properly cleaning it, only to discover a real burned-on mess stuck to the grates. I know some of you think this adds flavor or that it will burn away eventually, but wouldn't it be nice to start the season fresh, without a grease fire and without pieces of charred remains from last year stuck all over your food? The Grill Soaker ($20) is the perfect solution!

The Grill Soaker is the easiest way to clean your grill's grates without much effort at all. Simply fill this unique tub with warm water and a grease remover and drop the grates in. In no time, the grates will be good as new and ready for the summer. Sure you could do the same thing in your sink, but the sink isn't big enough to soak the grates properly and those grill cleaning tools and brushes require me to work and it's too nice out for that nonsense. Happy BBQing! added on 2008-04-04

The cool new Simply Mash - Potato Masher ($10) is designed to let you simply use the palm of your hand rotating in circles to quickly and easily mash potatoes. Conventional potato mashers require you to put a little muscle into mashing those taters, but with the Simply Mash, no pounding is ever required! Just place some cooked spuds in a bowl, place the flower-shaped end of the Simply Mash over them, put the bulb handle in the palm of your hand and simply rotate it in circles until the potatoes are the perfect combination of soft and fluffy. added on 2008-04-04

I haven't had cotton candy since I was a little kid, but I recently had this strange nostalgic craving for it. Where can you even get cotton candy outside of a county fair, carnival or circus? Well, actually now you can make your own cotton candy right at home with the cool new Old-Fashioned Cotton Candy Maker ($39).

Making cotton candy is sort of a fascinating process. All you have to do is pour regular granulated sugar into the Old-Fashioned Cotton Candy Maker, turn it on and it heats the sugar into a liquid. It then spins this liquid sugar out through tiny holes in the spinner and it re-solidifies in the air as wispy spun sugar. Take one of the included plastic cones and twirl it around to collect this newly formed cotton candy. You can also add food coloring to make the cotton candy blue or pink or yes, even green. added on 2008-03-26

The Camp Chef Turkey Cannon ($22) finally brings the incredible succulent flavor and moisture of beer can chicken roasting to turkeys and other large poultry. The Turkey Cannon is a cool new stainless steel hollow roasting arm that can be filled with beer, wine or other flavorings to not only add flavor while cooking, but for adding moisture too. Simply fill up the tube, shove it up the poor turkey's behind, place it on the grill or in the oven and let it roast. The steam cooks and infuses flavor in the turkey from the inside-out and the grill's heat cooks from the outside-in. In no time at all, you'll be enjoying a tender, moist and delicious meal. Very innovative and a must have for summer grilling. added on 2008-03-26
