Your Collection Of Flimsy Chip Clips Has Officially Been Served An Eviction Notice By This Mini Bag Resealer

Hand using a kitchen gadget to reseal a bag of Takis on a marble countertop, showcasing handy kitchen tools.

Review: "This little iron is very handy. Great for resealing plastic bags. Even though it is small it is made in a way to fit over a full sized bag of chips as shown in my pics. It heats up in 30 seconds and comes in a nice little case. Very Cool! The main reason I wanted something like this is that I often buy fancy crackers or nuts for charcuterie boards and by the time I have my next party the items have gone stale . .. this is a way to really save on those and keep the fresh in between parties!" - Laura Graham

    You'll Feel Like The Main Character Of Your Own Cooking Show Every Time You Season Your Food With A Glass Salt Pinch Pot

     You'll Feel Like The Main Character Of Your Own Cooking Show Every Time You Season Your Food With A Glass Salt Pinch Pot

    Review: "This salt cellar is delightful; it is heavy-weight glass, and it is beautifully crafted. Plus it meets the need I had which was to get a pinch of Celtic salt without reaching deep into the product's plastic bag. I will add a small spoon that fits inside the jar to keep from contaminating the salt. The container is not dishwasher safe. But it took me about 4 minutes to wash and dry it by hand. There are several colors as well as a clear container, but the green seems a natural color for storing Celtic salt. I'm trying to think of other ways to use these containers since they look pretty on the cabinet." - Charlotte K. Lowrie

    I bought a jar of jam at a farm about 15 years ago, and it came in a glass jar. After I washed it, it kept on being usable. I now have about 2 dozen such jars. I keep salt in one. Rice in another. I have one for black beans, one for black eyed peas, popcorn kernels, etc etc. It's amazing what happens when you don't throw away reusable things.

    Why did it take four whole minutes to wash and dry?

    Your kitchen sees a lot of action and most of it is mandatory. Between the meal prepping, the frantic weekday breakfasts, and the endless cycle of loading and unloading the dishwasher, it deserves a little personality transplant. It's time to trade in some of that sterile, purely functional energy for a bit of delightful weirdness.

It is a grainy, rough natural glaze on the bottom. It does come with a rubber sleeve that can be used to cover this rough part but then the pretty design is covered." - Amazon Customer
