| William Bounds, one of our favorite kitchenware and spice companies, has invented the better veggie steamer. It solves the problem we’ve always had with the standard variety: how to remove the hot steamer from the pot, and how to stop those little metal feet from scratching our cookware. The silicone stay-cool telescoping handle is heat resistant to 600°F, and the silicone feet never scratch.
The steamer is dishwasher safe and $13.00 at WmBoundsLtd.com. William Bounds also makes lovely pepper mills and salt mills (to grind sea salt).

A people-pleasing dessert that takes no trouble is an ice cream mix-in “bar.” Buy basic ice cream flavors and set out bowls of mix-ins: M&Ms, chopped peppermint patties and peanut butter cups, chocolate and butterscotch chips, mini malt balls, cookie dough, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pecans, bananas, coconut. Chocolate and caramel sauces can be overkill with mix-ins, but a little whipped cream is a perfect topper. Set the ice cream containers in a punch bowl or other large container full of ice, with a scooper for each flavor, and let your guests help themselves to ice cream, mix-ins and fun. They can layer ice cream and mix-ins, or simply use the mix-ins as toppings.

Flexible FireWire grilling skewers are practical, efficient and fun. |
|
What’s new in grilling? FireWire Flexible Grilling Skewers, professional-grade grilling skewers that are as practical as they are fun. The skewer is a stainless steel cable, twice as long as most skewers, that enables you to take your skewered food from marinating bag to grill to plate, all on the same flexible wire. Efficiently, FireWire can circle the perimeter of the grill like a necklace, enabling you to cook burgers, chicken, steak or corn in the center: You have new-found space on your grill surface. And the stainless steel stays cool, allowing you to turn or reposition the wire or remove the food from the grill without using tools. Probes on each end of the wire make it easy to both pierce food and to grab the wire.
Conventional steel skewers eventually rust and wooden skewers are one-time use; stainless steel Firewires last a lifetime. While you can’t hold the FireWire and nibble your food upright as you can with a conventional ten-inch skewer, the fun of flexibility more than compensates. |
| Check out the FireWire video at www.firewiregrilling.com. You can buy them at Amazon.com. $9.99 for two wires. That’s a very cost-effective gift to bring to every cookout you’re invited to. |
