If you’re looking to spend $300 bucks for a cutting board that is truly a kitchen gadget/contraption all in one than look no further. This cutting board made of ash has 3 places to store the various food you chop, and has a scraper to make sure you get it into the right place to store away while you prep.

We love the deep design, and think to ourselves – why don’t we have this cutting board right now. We’re ready to prep fruit, salad, and other delicious items and have them organized while we do so.

The Zyliss FastCut Herb Tool is one of the herb cutting tools we’ve received to review in a long time. The high grade stainless steel cutting blades get the job done, while the soft touch ergonomic handle for keeps your hands from feeling abused. The blades rotate 90 degrees to offer the versatility of palm and grip use, and the blade cover protects the blade as well as your hands. The top comes off for easy cleaning, and best of all it’s top-rack dishwasher safe.

We can safely say our day of cutting, chopping, and herbing has finally become easier. We’ll be using more rosemary and herbs from the garden finely chopped this summer for sure. Thanks to Zyliss for sending us the FastCut Herb tool to review.

Gizmodo has found a very interesting knife sharpener. This sharpener has two stages of sharpening magic – the hard carbide steel blades for coarse sharpening stage and the fine ceramic rods for honing. It even has a slot for sharpening scissors. You won’t slip while sharpening with the rubberized base for sure grip which is a very very good thing.

We’ve gone through quite a few of these smoker grills for your gas, charcoal, or other grill that lacks a place for chips. This one looks like it might last, and we can only hope it does. The claim is this smoker box produces smoke without flames, and the eight s-shaped vents on the lid of the oval cylindrical smoker allow just enough oxygen to produce smoke but not enough to generate flames, ensuring wood chips smolder slowly and allowing more smoke flavor to infuse with food.

We’ll be the jude when we receive one, and if you look at the design – not being near the grill flavor bars but up on the grill – this thing could work.

Picking the best toaster or toaster oven can be and is a very personal thing, and for us here at Kitchen Contraptions highly based on what you want to toast and cook. If you really just want toast – then a pop-up toaster may work for you, but if you want to use the toaster for an oven as well – then using a toaster oven combo will be a great bet. We also recognize that using a toaster to simply make breakfast sandwiches with eggs in them is also very desirable for those on the go.

We’ve compiled a list of best toasters and toaster ovens we think will meet these toasting needs and others.
