Didn't quite get the things on your list this year? Or maybe you got the flexible gift of cash? Either way, if you're doing a little post-holiday self-shopping, take a look back at this year's greatest hits. These were the tools and gadgets you clicked on the most in Food Now! in 2011.
GO RETRO Functional but beautiful, these
measuring cups stack to look like an old-fashioned milk bottle, just like Mom used to have. Grab a set to treat yourself, and snag a second set to give as your next hostess gift.
BETTER BREAKFAST Inspired by a Hong Kong street food, the
Nordic Ware Egg Waffle Pan makes breakfast a little more fun. The waffle is made up of small balls, crispy on the exterior and soft on the interior. Pull apart like monkey bread, or treat it like a regular waffle.
SLICE AND CATCH The
Pyrex Mandoline seemed like a winner for its built-in, changeable blades and the ease of use without danger of losing fingertips. Slicing directly into the bowl below? Just an added bonus.
DO THE MASHED POTATO With holiday feasts out of the way, there may be a waiting period before you even want to see a potato again. But when you do, maybe you'll want to mash them up with the
Flip Masher from Prepara. No need to clear out a drawer to store this tool though, just flip the head and lay it flat.
BAKE IT PRETTY Make it a little easier to dress up your baked goods and try the
Cake Tattoos from the Ace of Cakes, Duff Goldman. Fun designs simply press on and cling to whatever delicious frosting you've chosen. Now, if only making your children presentable was quite as easy...
