Description
This grinder is Barista-Grade! The quality of the grind is uniform, the noise level is low, and it even has "static reducing" technology that keeps the grounds from adhering to everything in the kitchen! This is for coffee-heads! (via The Kitchen Store at Dancing Spoon)

Dancing Spoon - Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale Chrome
First to recommend
Description
One of customers writes:
This is a fabulous little scale. It's small, accurate, and a snap to use. The scale displays in pounds, ounces, or grams and it's very easy to adjust the unit of measure. The tare function is perfect for controlling portion size. Moreover, the scale is indispensable for achieving the exact measurements required for successful baking. When I bought the scale, I thought I'd use it only occasionally, but in fact I use it nearly every day. Not only is it useful, it's kind of fun! (via DancingSpoon.com)

Dancing Spoon - SoftWorks Salad Spinner
First to recommend
Description
As I found to be equally true with my cell phone, there are a finite number of times that you can drop the top of an OXO Salad Spinner on a hard surface. Even a product of such high quality as the OXO Salad Spinner has its limits. (My cell phone had its limits too, but not quite as many.) For me, a salad spinner is a requirement of my kitchen: its uses go beyond merely making lettuce dizzy.
I use my salad spinner for cleaning and drying lettuce, parsley, sage leaves, green beans, brussel sprouts, and any other herb or vegetable that needs cleaning and drying before using. So I really needed a new salad spinner.
Again, just like my new cell phone, the technology followed Moore’s Law: the new salad spinner that I bought was the OXO SoftWorks and the upgrade is terrific! (I’m switching metaphors now: we’re going from cell phones to cars.) This model is turbocharged: it just spins faster with less effort. And the basket just keeps on going...The braking system (yes, it has a braking system) is a little underpowered and you really need to bear down to stop high RPMs. (But you won’t want to because the clear bowl allows you to watch the magic of centrifugal force as an amazing amount of water separates itself from your lettuce leaves.)

This tells it all. It's a cool design and the digital nutritional scale is a " smart weighing system." Which means the easy to use features display nutritional values, including carbohydrates, fat and protein. If you're concerned about what you eat, this will help you figure it out!

5 Stars!
If you are a vanilla lover, you have to have this in your pantry
A friend showed me this product and I bought some right away. As a former pastry chef, I am always on the lookout for quality products that help keep me keep in touch with my professional roots. The flavor is clean, true vanilla and the seeds add that quality look and flavor. The pump dispenser makes it easy to use, and I found myself adding touches of vanilla where I wouldn't have normally bothered. I will never be without it again.

This pasta is made in Italy from top quality 100% semolina, which is kneaded with pure water from the valleys of Molise, Italy. The dough is then extruded through bronze dies and lastly, skillfully dried with a static process at very low temperatures. This slow drying process maintains the artisanal tradition of Molise.

One of our reviewers writes:
My mother and grandmother had this type of high quality spatula when I was growing up in the fifties. But try to find one at your local stores, forget it, you can't find it anywhere. This is a high quality flexible spatula. Every kitchen needs one. Go ahead and treat yourself, your cooking experience will be a delight. (via DancingSpoon.com)

India Tree Chardonnay Smoked Fleur de Sel
First to recommend
Description
Salt ain't just salt. Some salt is used on Margarita Glasses, some salt is used for cooking, and some salt is used as a finishing flourish. That's this salt. Use it as a final flavoring on a steak, a chicken, over a tomato-mozzarella salad, or a nice grilled salmon. When the Fleur de Sel crystals are still moist they are cool-smoked over oak barrels once used to age Chardonnay. A wisp of smokiness, a hint of Chardonnay. (via DancingSpoon.com)
