I discussed the value of decanters when I linked to the Metrokane V1 Vacuum Decanter back in May. So I figured I would follow up with this duck decanter when it showed up in the feeds because it seemed kind of off beat and humorous. Little did I know how popular duck decanters were as I found four other ones on the first page of a Google search: here, here, here, and here. So much for originality, but whatever. This Duck Wine Decanter is available from Rosebuds of Haworth for $60. |

I have never been proficient at boiling eggs not that I try all the often. Perhaps I would with the Egg-Per’fect Color Changing Egg Timer from Burton Plastics. This timer has a heat sensor in its sensor and detects when the center has been heated enough for various levels of yolk hardness. A black mark on a graduated scale to indicate how well done the egg is. The Egg-Per’fect Color Changing Egg Timer is available from Sur la Table for $5. |

Produced by Propaganda in Thailand and winner of the Chicago Athenaeum 2006 Good Design award are the spoon chopsticks curiously titled Frog Get Mee. I don’t particularly understand why one would want to combine a spoon with chopsticks. As I understand customs, most liquids served in a bowl are typically consumed by drinking directly from the bowl. While I admit eating fried rice is difficult with just chopsticks, that spoon doesn’t look that much easier. I guess the concept is less confusing then the name of the product itself for which I could find no explanation. Frog Get Mee is currently out of stock at Shopmodi.com but was priced at $8. |

There are a wide variety of training chopsticks such as this, this, this, and this; but none of them look like a clothes-pin. EZ Chop Sticks are made of wood and are nine inches in length. A set of four EZ Chopsticks are available from MerlinsBox.com for $10. |

Since I posted the Plasma Clock and the Plasma Light Bulb, I feel compelled to also mention the Plasma Mug. The mug itself is double-walled and made of hand-blown glass and can hold eight ounces of liquid. When the mug sits on the coaster, the light show commences. The base can either be powered by eight AA batteries or a universal 12V adapter neither of which are included. The Plasma Mug is available from a wide variety of etailers including Think Geek, Amazon, and 1 of a Kind Stuff for $25. |

I have never enjoyed extracting the edible portions of a pineapple from the tough outer shell. Vacu Vin has come up with a much simpler solution then my normal hacking at the fruit with a knife until either fruit or blood emerges. Just chop the top off of a pineapple and twist the Pineapple Slicer like a corkscrew and it will extract perfect rings. The shell and core are left intact should you want to use the outer husk as a bowl or beverage container. The Vacu Vin Pineapple Slicer is available in stainless steel from Amazon for $20. |
