Ronco:
Countertop Rotisserie

Years back, we tearfully bid adieu to our large countertop rotisserie because there were things we used many times daily—our large microwave, toaster oven and food processor, that edged it off. Now, with the Ronco Showtime Compact Rotisserie, that toaster oven, which has the same footprint, has cause to worry. We’re planning a healthy new year and trading in all that high-carb toast for high-protein, low-fat, no-carb roast chicken, which will also make a delicious brown bag lunch in these days of careful spending. Sure, you can pick up a cooked bird from the store, but it isn’t going to be the best bird (we use Bell & Evans or Wise), or make the house smell so good while it’s cooking.

We’re eating healthier with delicious spit-roasted chicken—the fat drips out. The Platinum Edition Rotisserie & BBQ Oven, below, also makes burgers and kabobs.

VIOlight:
Zapi Toothbrush Sanitizer

Your toothbrush cleans your teeth, but what cleans your toothbrush? A single toothbrush can harbor millions of microorganisms, which translate into harmful bacteria that thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. The VIOlight system eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria that thrive on your toothbrush. VIOlight uses a germicidal UV bulb—the same technology used in hospitals—to kill germs. Your toothbrush is fresh, clean and protected for the next time you brush—which should be after each meal and snack, if you can swing it.

William Bounds:
Battery-Operated Baton Dual Salt & Pepper Mill

Twirl your way to easy seasoning with the new Baton Dual Mill from William Bounds Ltd. There are no buttons to press or cranks to turn: gravity initiates the grinding process, making the Baton Dual Mill the most convenient way to freshly grind salt and pepper on food. The innovative design allows for freshly ground salt or pepper with just a flip of the mill. The mill is kept on a small stand in a horizontal position.  When it’s picked up and held vertically, it begins to grind and dispense salt. Flip the mill to the other side, and its automatic mechanism stops grinding salt and begins to grind pepper. To stop grinding, simply place the mill back on its stand. A beauty on the dining table, a mastery of form, function and fun.
