!±8± Bar Gadgets Like The Lazy Susan Are Very Helpful

We recently heard about a company called Oxo, which is in the business of producing bar gadgets in various price ranges. The combination of good grips mirror-like stainless steel with black rubber accents used by the company in making these bar gadgets make them true works of art. Here, we have identified certain top picks for all those who have set up a bar at home and are just waiting to buy all the latest gadgets for the same.

1. The Oxo 7-piece Barware kit: a great way to get a start in home bartending. You'll also find the kit makes a wonderful gift for any aspiring barman. The kit includes all the main gadgets you'll need: a small cutting board, strainer, jigger, mixing spoon, and bottle opener. A beautiful stainless steel bar stand comes with the kit for elegant gadget storage. For the price, quality, and style, the Oxo 7-piece Barware kit has no rival.

2. Even bar will need a device to open various bottles, and this winged corkscrew will meet every such need. For wine bottles, this model easily and comfortably removes the cork, and tucked away in the knob is a foil cutter as an extra bonus. We review many corkscrews and openers, but this one is a stand out for ease of use and features.

3. POP containers: these fun, clear cubical food storage containers come in every size imaginable. Much more aesthetically pleasing than just your ordinary plastic container, they are great for storing the condiments and garnishes that will turn your home bar snacks and drinks into true signature delights.

4. The Turnable is a convenient condiment tray. This is basically a Lazy Susan made of stainless steel that makes your napkins, condiments and old tabletop accessories look like pieces of art, when placed on it. The Turnable looks attractive with a mirror shine and the kitchen gadgets also rotate quickly, smoothly and noiselessly.

Fifth, while the shaker seems a rather humble gadget, Oxo's shaker is outstanding. The stainless steel shaker has a novel double-wall construction to ensure that you keep a good grip on it while making your drinks. It has a rubber grip, like Oxo's other bar gadgets, to make it easier to shake.

Collapsible Colanders and Strainers

!±8± Collapsible Colanders and Strainers

Great food is only part of the equation when it comes to a great kitchen -- there are plenty of tools that go along with any kitchen that simply can't be ignored. One of the tools you should have in your kitchen is a good collapsible colander, for many reasons. For one, it's no secret that everyone is looking for ways to save kitchen space without losing the functionality they've come to expect out of their kitchen tools. This is where a collapsible colander comes in handy -- it can fold up when not in use, leaving you with more room to put in other items.

A collapsible colander is one of the most versatile tools you can add to a kitchen, especially when compared to other items. There are numerous dishes that depend on the food being properly drained of liquid before entering the next stage of preparation. Many new cooks have found that adding a colander to their line of kitchen tools has resulted in better tasting food, since they were able to get much of the liquid drained out of food and down safely into the sink.

If you're looking to pick up a collapsible colander (sometimes referred to as a collapsible strainer) for your home, there's a few things you need to know in order to get the best one for your kitchen.

First, you want to decide on whether you want an individual collapsible strainer or an entire set. Generally speaking, most cooks assume that they only need one collapsible colander for their kitchen, but this is often not the case. For example, there are many dishes that have two foods that must be drained of liquid, but cannot be directly mixed with each other. This is where having a set of collapsible colanders (sometimes incorrectly spelled as 'collapsable' collanders) comes in handy -- instead of having to wait for the first ingredient to fully drain before draining the second ingredient of all the liquid, you can cover more ground by draining both ingredients at the same time.

Another reason to go for a colander set over a lone individual colander is because it gives you more choices when it comes to size. There are times when the largest colander might not be the best one for the kitchen task that you have in mind, which means that a smaller colander would actually be more suitable.

As you look through the selection of collapsible colanders, you might wish to think about material choices as well. The best materials are the ones that will last the longest within an active kitchen environment -- silicone and rubber are two of the most popular choices in colanders for this reason. Keep in mind that not all collapsible colanders are dishwasher safe -- therefore if this is a feature that you must have, you'll want to read product descriptions very carefully just to make sure. A collapsible colander will always indicate whether or not it's dishwasher safe. Two of the most popular brands today are Oxo Good Grips, and the line of Progressive collanders.

All things considered, a collapsible colander is truly a great addition to your kitchen.
