Gadgets: Silicone Oven Shield
Next to the great eating that most of us associate with Thanksgiving, the biggest turkey day tradition seems to be the annual oven burn—often the hallmark of stuffing your roaster beyond its capacity with birds and sides and pies. But what if there were a gadget to prevent one of the most reliable Thanksgiving-related wounds?Gadgets: The Smood (Potato Masher)
Mashed potatoes are one of those side dishes that we eat—and crave—year round, but demand perfection from on Thanksgiving. So what makes the perfect mashed potatoes? That depends on who you ask. And what makes the perfect potato masher is clearly dependent upon that answer.Gadgets: Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer Express
I picked up my Jack La Lanne Power Juicer Express ($99 at powerjuicer.com) a few months ago, and while I only broke into it after summer berries started disappearing, I've found myself eyeing fruits and vegetables a little differently in the store since christening it. That's the point, nutritionally speaking, and it works. But how does the juicer stack up, exactly?Gadgets: Mixer Splatter Guard by Hutzler
Ever used a hand mixer to make whipped cream, only to find tiny little specks of cream all over the kitchen's backsplash? And the fridge? And the dog? You're looking at a guilty culprit here, which is why spending a quick fiver on this mixer splatter guard seemed like a pretty good idea.Gadgets: One-Step Corn Kerneler
Eight or nine out of ten times with this column, I'm happy to bring you gadgets worth considering—things that could easily have a place in a good handful of kitchens, if not a majority of them—but the other one or two times, I'm happy to just spare you some completely worthless spending. That's the case with this, the not-so-one-step corn kerneler.Gadgets: Martha Stewart's Pie Gate
I don't need gadgets as an excuse to make pie, but why on earth not? Martha Stewart and I are clearly conspiring towards a world with more pie—more intact pies, as it may be—and I don't see too much protest in our way.Behold, The Spon: A Double Backed Spoon
Each year the winner of the World Porridge Making Championship takes home the Golden Spurtle Trophy—the spurtle being a a rod-like kitchen tool from Scotland used to stir oatmeal while it cooks—but this year's winner didn't spurtle his way to victory. The 2010 champion Neal Robertson attributed his perfect porridge to the water from the hills above Auchtermuchty, Scotland, where he runs The Tannochbrae Tearoom, and his use of a Spon instead of the traditional spurtle.Gadgets: Jar Spatula by Martha Stewart Collection
There isn't much science with this gadget: it's a slim, rubber spatula with a wooden handle and a rounded edge ($6.99 at Macy's, not available online). Only about a half inch wide, this jar spatula fits into any jar or crannied container to scoop up its most wedged-in, hard to reach remains. I love having it around for those expensive jars of jam or barely-large-enough-for-one-more-serving marinades, when it helps me make the most of what little is left and ensure none of my precious goods go to waste.Gadgets: Cabinet Mount Trash Can by SimpleHuman
When I bought my SimpleHuman cabinet mount trash can, I didn't think, not for one second, that I was buying a gadget--much less anything worth writing about. But the cabinet mount trash can has honestly been nothing short of a revelation in my kitchen. Enough that, yes, I'm calling it a gadget.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
