Rx: For the home cook who has everything
Every gadget here is shaped like something it has no business being, and every one still does its job. A crab holds your spoon, a vampire crushes your garlic and a goose drains your pasta. They make great gifts for home cooks, new apartments and anyone who already owns a normal spatula.
