The International Home & Housewares Show held in Chicago last month had a wide enough range of interesting new products that news coverage varied on what was noteworthy. One common point was the continued use of silicone products with fancy-shaped molds for baking, silicone knife handles, and even an oven mitt on display. The Toastabag was mentioned often. It’s a reusable bag that can brown a cheese sandwich in your pop-up toaster. KitchenAid fans may appreciate a new set of attachments that turn the stand mixer into an ice cream maker. But at $99 retail, it’d better have some mighty advantages over the typical $49 ice cream makers. The carefully designed Garlic Twist claims to minces garlic without fuss or muss. And the QuikTop turns soda cans into bottles, complete with the ability reseal using its handy coaster/cup/top.
