The Dark Side of the Kitchen
I have to admit, when I was loaned Anthony Bourdain’s book, Kitchen Confidential, I figured it would be somewhat entertaining, but wasn’t exactly super pumped to read it. It was loaned to me with a “you’re into cooking, you should read this” line by my father-in-law’s wife (step-mother-in-law?), and while we’re both into cooking and [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: Baby Your Feet
So if you were following The Foodie Forkful leading up to the holidays, you may remember that we recommended a gel floor mat as a gift ideas during our 45 Forkfuls of Christmas feature. Well, while at the International Home & Housewares Show we ran into a company, Wellness Mats, who makes them. They are [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: BRUGO Travel Mug
If you’re a coffee enthusiast, you know how much better your coffee tastes when it’s at the right temperature. You brew it nice and hot, let it cool down a bit, then have a pretty short window to enjoy it before it gets cold. Or maybe you have a nice double-wall insulated travel mug, which [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: Handstand Kids Cookbooks
If you’re a foodie with kids, like us, you’re raising (or trying to raise) your kids to appreciate food as much as you do. Maybe your kid is already a burgeoning foodie.

IHHS 2010 Find: Firewire Flexible Skewers
This is another new product we found at the Home and Housewares Show this year. Now, there are certainly a lot of grilling products out there – it seems like if you sell any type of outdoor or cooking products you’re practically obligated to make grilling accessories. They also seem to be another one of [...]

IHHS 2010 Find: Magnetic Kitchen Towels
Another example of a cool simple improvement of a tool you already use, the Magnet & Go collection by B4Market caught our eyes at the IHHS show. The options include a magnetic potholder and oven mitt ($18) and two kitchen towels ($10), which each have a small magnet sewn into them to hang onto any [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: The Bag Stand
This product is an example of a cool and cheap kitchen gadget that once you hear about, you’ll wonder why you don’t already have it in your kitchen. It’s called the Bag Stand by Globadec, and it’s a small adhesive-lined folded piece of plastic that sticks to the bottom of your chip/cracker/candy bags in order [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: Bodum Travel French Press
So I admit, I’m a recent convert to coffee – for the longest time I’ve been a tea person, and while the smell of coffee was appealing, I just never got into drinking it. However, last summer I resolved to develop the taste for coffee, and to my surprise it took maybe 10 days before [...]
IHHS 2010 Find: Zoku Quick Pop Maker
The first item we want to tell you about from the International Home and Housewares Show is a great update of a classic idea. Many of you may remember, as I do, making popsicles with your mom when you were a kid. We had a basic plastic Tupperware set, and would fill it with fruit [...]
