Measuring Spoons for Odd Sizes
Flummoxed by how to measure an 1/8th of a teaspoon of salt? This set of five odd-sized measuring spoons includes tools to measure a "pinch," 1/8 Tsp., 2/3 Tsp., 1½ Tsp, and 2 Tsp. $15 at The Spoon Sisters.
Corner Colander
These ingenious Corner Colanders are designed to fit in the corner of the sink, freeing up some precious sink space while draining your just-rinsed berries. They're also designed for one-handed use. $10 each in red, green, or white at Sur la Table. [via Charles & Marie]
Jam on It
Williams-Sonoma's stovetop Ebelskiver Pan will turn out a batch of seven Danish-style pancakes filled with jam, fruit, cheese, or whatever you please. In fact, you might want to toss in some diced octopus and use the non-stick, cast-aluminum pan to make your own Japanese takoyaki. $39.95 at Williams-Sonoma.
Mussel Vessel
There's really no good reason to drop $89.95 on equipment for cooking mussels. Toss the shellfish into any old pot along with some onions and white wine, slap a lid on top, turn up the heat, and you're virtually home-free. But, if you have cash burning a hole in your pocket, Staub's Mussel Pot, made of enameled cast-iron, has a beautiful design that evokes the shape of the bivalves themselves. What's more: A strainer inside the pot separates the mussels from their broth as they cook for efficient tableside bread dipping.
