Bodum Clara Borosilicate Kettle
(17 June 2008) - Made from near-indestructible borosilicate glass, Bodum's new Clara kettle makes tea time into a better-tasting and more visual experience. The non-porous glass doesn't give off any odors or flavors, which is a must for the more delicate white and green teas out there. It's suitable for use on gas, ceramic or electric stovetops, as well as for use in microwaves (provided the lid and...

Herb Snips
(30 April 2008) - Essentially a pair of scissors with multiple parallel blades, herb snips effortlessly expedite the tiresome act of mincing. With their help, scallions or other fresh herbs can instantly transform into a manageable, chopped pile. This take on herb snips features five three-inch stainless steel blades stacked on each silicone-coated arm. And although they'll likely remain in the arsenal of only the most pampered chefs,...

SL16 Noooodle by Konstatin Slawinksi
(16 April 2008) - For people like me who never know how much pasta to cook (it's always either too much or too little and I'm either unsatiated or have two days of leftovers), Konstatin Slawinski of ding3000 solves the issue with his SL16 Noooodle, a chrome device that measures amounts of spaghetti for up to four people and doubles as a trivet. Resembling a cooked piece of...

Toaster Challenge
(14 March 2008) - The household toaster serves a simple purpose, but some models do it better than others. At CH we take this responsibility very seriously, and in hopes of separating the best from the average, we recently pitted four models from different manufacturers in a head-to-heat toast-off and recorded our highly subjective results. The toasters we used were the Alessi SG68, Viking VT200, Breville Smart Toaster BTA820XL...

Famos Peeler
(14 December 2007) - Sometimes the elegance of an object is perfectly on par with its level of performance. Such is the case with the German-made Famos Peeler, which features a sturdy blade that's ideal for the hard stuff (parmesean, chocolate) but works equally well on potatoes and apples too. Far superior to all the gimmicky "design" peelers out there, the shark fin-like blade is an added bonus...

Nine BBQs
(09 May 2007) - The first step to mastering barbecue is choosing the right grill. We love the classic no-frills design of a Weber, but—from built-in sinks to slick stainless steel exteriors—there are a ton of other souped up options out there. We sorted through the many grills on the market to find the most well-designed free standing variations on the original. The first in a three-part series,...

Double Balloon Whisk
(06 July 2006) - While fancy electric mixers costing hundreds show up on many a bride-to-be's registry, cream whipped by hand has a more velvety texture and just tastes better.

Get the Scoop
(03 October 2005) - The Nuscüp, that is. We love this new multi-function measuring cup, designed by Pollen Design (designers of the Rabbit corkscrew) for the Swiss kitchenwares company Dalla Piazza.

The cup holds both liquid and dry ingredients, and includes ml (30-140), liquid oz (1-4),...

New Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Food Sealers

Seal-a-Meal has a few new food sealers that are easy to use and are attractive enough to keep out on the counter. I use a...

Flame-top Ceramic Cookware
(19 August 2005) - I have several pots that I love to cook with. Some can also store or reheat the food the day after. Emile Henry has just introduced its new Flame-top Ceramic cookware and it looks pretty amazing. It's ceramic, but it solves an age-old issue with ceramic pots' inability to handle a direct flame. The Flame-top can brown food, sit on the stove, in a...

TheFoodLoop
(18 August 2005) - Florence Fabricant wrote about TheFoodLoop in yesterday's New York Times and it's a great little invention: A simple worm-like heat-resistant reusable silicone fastener that you use to keep food together when you cook it.
