From the creators of SpreadTHAT! comes the revolution in thawing meat. As many people know, thawing meat at room temperature for longer than 2 hours lets dangerous bacteria reproduce on the surface of meat, which can make you sick. ThawThat! takes away that concern by helping your frozen foods thaw quickly, using THAT!’s thermo-liquid. The liquid inside of the ThawThat! draws the cold away from the frozen food, and speeds up thawing time, reducing the possibility of bacteria and disease.

From the creators of ThawTHAT! comes the revolution for spreading cold butter. SpreadTHAT! takes spreading butter to a whole new level. It takes the body heat from the user to heat up and then cut cold butter. There’s no electricity either — it’s designed with heat conducting metal. You can use it on a variety of different spreads, not just butter! It works with cream cheese, jams, peanut butter, chocolate, and it’s even dishwasher safe.

Have you ever noticed that some baking recipes tell you to roll your dough out to an exact thickness? How exactly do you do that? Eyeball it? Get out your ruler? Or you could use Joseph Joseph’s adjustable rolling pin. The rolling pin comes with four removable discs that raise or lower the pin by different amounts, so you can get the exact thickness on your dough. It’s simple, but genius.

Garbage cans are a necessary evil in a kitchen. You could buy a cheap one that doesn’t have a lid, but that would also mean your kitchen could be enveloped by rather pungent odors. Buying one with a lid can help prevent that, but when it’s time to throw away something, usually you don’t want to open the lid of a garbage can, or open a cabinet to throw something away. That’s why a touch-free garbage can is helpful. You wave your hand over the lid, and it opens automatically. When it’s time to change the bag, the lid will cease operation, letting you easily take the garbage out, and place a new bag within the canister.
