Best Garlic Press: The Easy-Squeeze is Cook's Illustrated's® most recent #1 garlic press! Check out Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers too!

A Baker's Staple: Nothing's handier for dividing your dough, or scraping up the bits and pieces from work surfaces. One of these scrapers is all-stainless; the other features a rubbery Grip-EZ handle. Both are 6" wide and ruled, which is handy for cutting dough to fit your pans. Dishwasher safe.

Kuhn Rikon Zester: Keep this little zester close at hand to easily add flavor to all your favorite recipes—cakes, pies and cookies. Even soups, stews and vegetable dishes benefit from a little citrus zest. Five sharp little cutting holes glide across citrus peel leaving smoothly cut strands of zest in their wake. The design incorporates a stripper, a small, sharp cutting circle on the side of the zester. When pressed firmly into citrus rind, it cuts a picture-perfect, smooth-edged strip for the perfect garnish.

Tongs with Manners: When you close these tongs and hold them straight up, they lock shut — no more hogging space on the countertop or in the drawer. Point them downward and squeeze to reopen. Heavy gauge stainless steel means you won't be rebending them after every use.

A quality tool with many uses: In the kitchen: Cut meat, bones, vegetables, frozen fruit. Also features an herb stripper and bottle opener. Around the house: Cardboard & paper, wire, thin metals, plastic, plastic bags, string, carpet, cable. In the garden: Flowers, shrubs, weeds, small branches. Comfortable grips are designed for left or right handed use and provide far more leverage than scissors. These shears are perfect for opening those exasperating plastic clamshell packages that are everywhere today. Stainless steel blades are self-sharpening. Manufacturer's 5 year limited warranty.

The Original Fiskars Scissors: The offset handle design of the Fiskars scissor keeps material flat while cutting, and its hardened stainless steel blades provide exceptional, lasting sharpness. Overall length is 8-1/2", with usable cutting edge about 3-1/2", an extremely handy size. Fiskars are the best!

Fiskars Kitchen & Garden Take-Apart Shear: Stop by most any flower shop and you'll see a well-used (and well-loved) pair of these shears lying within quick reach. Pros swear by them for cutting tough stems, delicate blooms, ribbon... even lightweight wire. The sides separate instantly by turning fully open, for full, fast & easy cleaning. Overall length is 7-1/4", with usable cutting edge of 2-1/2". Better nab a pair for the kitchen, garage and your best friend, too!

Stubborn Lids Are No Match for this smartly designed new Kuhn Rikon gadget. A quick turn of the top knob brings three sets of tenaciously-gripping steel teeth to bear on the edges of the lid.

The beautiful white marble version is 2-1/2" tall, 4-1/2" diameter, with 5-1/2" long pestle and 6 oz. capacity. Both have felt bottoms to protect your countertop. To clean, wipe out with a damp cloth.

Our handsome 8-1/2" diameter molcajete is the traditional Mexican version of the mortar, carved from natural volcanic stone for a very aggressive grinding surface. The molcajete (molka-heh-tay) is used with included tejolote (the pestle, pronounced tay-ha-low-tay) for authentic moles, salsas, fresh guacamole or grinding chilies and other hard spices. The molcajete is 5" tall and the tejolote is 4-1/2" long with a 2-1/2" diameter grinding end. Includes a booklet with steps to cure and clean your molcajete, plus recipes.

Perfect Beaker Measuring Cup: Perfect Beaker features six vital measurements (cups, fluid ounces, pints, tsp, TBS, ml/ccm) with many increments (e.g., 1-3/4 cup). Perfect Beaker quickly measures combined quantities such as 1 cup plus 2 TBS. A must for every cook, home baker and bread machine user. It's accurately calibrated, and the narrow base ensures accurate measurements — even for small quantities, liquid or dry. Scientifically calibrated. Upper rack dishwasher-safe, Perfect Beaker is made of a high impact polymer that's shatter proof and highly resistant to breakage. Available with or without tight-fitting, freshness-seal lid (see both here). All-around-spout lets you pour drip-free from any side, and the conical shape is easy to hold even with wet hands. You'll find Perfect Beaker is a remarkably useful tool in your kitchen.

Wonder Cup® Measuring Cups: The Wonder Cup makes measuring quicker and easier, and dramatically reduces cleanup time. The graduated clear outer cylinder slides up and down over the center plunger (the yellow piece) to create a "cup" at the top, in any size you choose. The top edge of the plunger has a slight lip that works like an automatic 360-degree spatula, perfectly removing all of the measured substance — even those things that have been so hard to dig out of measuring cups in the past, like peanut butter, shortening, or honey. Works for dry or liquid measure, and eliminates clean up between ingredients. They're labeled "Metric Wonder Cup", but each is graduated in teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints and ounces, as well as liters and milliliters. Available in one cup and two cup sizes. For the modest price, we don't see how any cook can afford to be without these. Tips: Don't put the Wonder Cup in dishwasher or in boiling water, and always store with plunger fully inserted to preserve the shape of the "magic seal" lip.

Here's a fun way to carry a reminder of your cooking passion with you when you leave home! Whip measures 3.25" long, made of stainless and chromed steel. (Sorry, keys to the BMW and house not included.)

The Kuhn Rikon Vase Grinder works equally well for grinding pepper, herbs or seeds... one grinder does it all! Granulated salt rolls off of so many foods — but finely ground salt from the Kuhn Rikon Vase Grinder sticks right where you want it.
