Off to Market Recap: Spoon Rests

YumSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:00:12 -0700

Last week, I explained my need for a spoon rest to keep my stovetop splatter-free. I asked you to keep your eyes peeled for spoon rests with fun flair. You saved your discoveries in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag spoon rests. I loved a lot of the bookmarks, but found the pot clips that erinlikestoplay saved to be especially cool. All the sauce from a spatula just drips right back into the pot for the most convenient cleanup ever! Plus, the gadget comes in six colors for easy identification (and a colorful kitchen). Scope out more choices below.

A Spoon Saves the Day

It's frustrating when a jar lid is exceptionally hard to remove. I always hear my father's voice say, "pretend you're on a desert island and that's all you have to eat." After a childhood of that, I've figured out a no-fail trick for opening difficult jars. The secret ingredient? A simple spoon. Here's what you do:

Hold the spoon in one hand and the jar firmly in the other.
Nestle the spoon in the crack between the lid and the glass. Push up and back. You want to break the seal.
Press up with the spoon to loosen the lid. If the seal does not break, rotate the jar and repeat, pressing up and back with the spoon until you hear a pop.
Let go of the spoon and twist the lid off. It will come of smoothly and easily.

How do you deal with frustrating lids? What's your trick to remove them?

It's a Spoon, It's a Plane, It's a Spoon Plane!

You have been doing an amazing job filling the Yum Market, on TeamSugar with fabulous food-related finds. As I was looking through it today, I noticed several functional, interesting everyday items that I just had to share. The first is a stainless steel soap bar. Redegg says she loves to give this as a gift to cooks because the steel eliminates the smell of garlic, fish, and other strong orders from your hands.

Two more so,
