Heat & Dry Dish Rack

Dry dishes in approximately 10 minutes—on your countertop! The first of its kind, the Heat & Dry Dish Rack is much faster and more sanitary than towel drying. The heated airflow dries dishes quickly and effortlessly with whisper quiet precision. It’s perfect for hand-washed items too delicate to put into the dishwasher—like fine crystal.

Breville:

One-Touch Tea Maker

The One-Touch Tea Maker has forever changed the way we brew tea. With the perfect temperature per type of tea (black, green, herbal, white) and your instructions on how strong you want it, this Breville beauty brews the best tea we’ve ever had. Even teas we haven’t liked taste amazingly better. It’s fun watching the tea basket lower and brew. You can auto-set the appliance so tea is ready the minute you get out of bed, get home, etc. We are in love with this appliance. It’s worth every dollar!

Broadway Panhandler:
Butter Churn

It’s fun, it’s easy and it makes absolutely delicious fresh butter. For families who care about the freshest food, you can’t do better than make a pound of butter whenever you want with this French import. All that’s required is a pint of heavy cream to make a pound of butter. The economics: 1 pint heavy cream $2.99, 1 pound butter $3.99. The fun of making it: priceless. Here’s a tip: The instructions tell you to drain off and dispose of the liquid. Keep it and drink it—it’s 8 ounces of wonderful half-and-half.

*Tea lovers should use a different system: tea leaves or bags that steep in boiling water. Forcing water rapidly through ground coffee makes a good cup; forcing it rapidly through ground tea doesn’t.

Thermador:
Steam & Convection Oven

Want to treat a serious cook to the latest in exciting kitchen equipment? Thermador’s new Steam & Convection Oven is the luxury-appliance industry’s first pre-programmed appliance to combine three distinct cooking options—steam, true convection and a combination of the two. Steam and steam combination cooking ensures moist and tender results, and that taste and color is retained. Fewer vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are lost with steam cooking—and there’s no need to add oil or other fat! The convection portion of the oven is for crispiness and browning.
