Attention gear junkies: We’ve got five kitchen gadgets to add to your holiday wish list!
Do the Mash
 We’ve
tried everything to get our mashed potatoes their
smoothest and creamiest (no need to go into detail
about the infamously messy Thanksgiving dinner of
2003). But the Oxo Good Grips Potato Ricer easily
and neatly grinds, mills, mashes, pulverizes and
creams potatoes and vegetables to the max with its
durable stainless steel design and non-slip handles.
Bonus: Use it to make your own baby food. $20, oxo.com
Pretty Pairs
Kuhn Ricon’s Pairing Knives Colori is a perfect example of fashion meeting functionality. Coming in six bright colors and a blade case, these paring knives are just the thing to bring your kitchen to life. Plus, the tough carbon steel blade means you don’t have to sacrifice performance for good looks. $10, factorydirect2you.com
Hard Core
You may have perfected the art of peeling with the Kuhn Ricon paring knife, but there’s always the pesky core and seeds to contend with. Well you can win the war against those bitter enemies with the Progressive Vegetable Scoop. This slim and handy tool swiftly removes the core and seeds from produce so you don’t have to pick them from your mouth. $5.99, progressiveintl.com
Multi-Tasker
Sur la Table’s Multi-tier Oven Rack will be the MVP in your kitchen this holiday season (check out our Fall 2008 issue for a full Thanksgiving dinner). It holds up to three levels of dishes so you won’t have to prepare side dishes days in advance. That means you can make a full course with just one turn of the oven. Ingenious! $20, surlatable.com
No Toil Oil
We all know the importance of reducing fat from your everyday diet, and the Misto Stainless Steel Olive Oil Spray is a stylish way to do just that. Just fill the sprayer with your favorite olive oil and pump the cap to pressurize. It mists evenly and looks great in the kitchen. $15, misto.com
