Chill Out

Eva Solo's Fridge Carafe evokes the shape of a milk bottle and is designed to fit inside your refrigerator door compartment. A flip-top lid keeps unwelcome flavors out of your chilled water while stored, and a neoprene insulating jacket -- available in multiple colors -- zips up the carafe to keep its contents cool from refrigerator to table.

Ergonomic Eating

The odd-looking flatware by CurvWare is ergonomically designed to function as a natural extension of the hand (that's a fork in the photo). But, the "ErgoChic" utensils come at a hefty price. One three-piece set will set you back $99 at CurvWare. Via bookofjoe.

Heirlooms at Home

Ever so satisfying is the fruit or vegetable picked from your own garden -- or windowsill, or front porch. Windowbox.com sells many varieties of heirloom tomato plants that thrive in just about any bright, adequately sunny spot. The site also offers helpful tomato growing tips to help keep you making stunning caprese salads all summer long. Heirloom plants from $8.99 at Windowbox.com.

Cuisine from a Can

A Twist of the Wrist, the latest book from master baker and chef Nancy Silverton, gets into Rachael Ray territory, promising 30-minute meals made with jarred, canned, boxed, and bagged ingredients. The book "green-lights prewashed salad, canned peas, jarred mayonnaise, boneless chicken breasts and more," says the New York Times. $17.97 at amazon.com.

Built for Beer

In collaboration with the firm of Tiax, Samuel Adams has designed a beer glass that promises a "full sensory drinking experience." According to the company, the curvaceous container is designed with features that collect and enhance aroma, sustain a foamy head, and retain proper beer temperature. $30 for four glasses at the Samuel Adams E-Store.
