Not to be confused with the Slap Chop, the Garlic Chop is a too-cute utensil that makes it easy to chop up garlic. Looks like it’d be fun to try out too.

Constructed of of polycarbonate plastic, the utensil looks just like a garlic clove and has cross-like teeth that easily slice and chop. Just place cloves inside and give the lid a few twists. The twisting action minces the garlic in no time.

The best part is, you just push up the base and the chopped garlic slides directly into your bowl or pan – no stinky garlic fingers here!

The two ends of the Garlic Chop magnetically seal for easy storage and are dishwasher safe. Great little stocking stuffer, and priced right at less than $11.

Many parents are becoming increasingly concerned about the food their children eat, and all the preservatives that go into that food to maintain its shelf life.

The Beaba Babycook can help you take matters into your own hands. This countertop kitchen appliance can steam, blend, warm and defrost to prepare fresh, healthy homemade meals for baby in minutes.

The Babycook lets parents steam cook vegetables, fruits and meats in 15 minutes or less, then puree and blend them to the desired consistency. So you preserve vitamins and flavor, while ensuring no additional fillers are added to your baby’s food. You can also use the Babycook to reheat or defrost pre-cooked foods. The Babycook is BPA Safety-Tested and designed for babies 6-24 months.

If you decide to purchase a Babycook for your family, or as a gift for someone else this Christmas, you can also pick up the Beaba Multiportion Freezer Tray. Available in a variety of colors, it’s a BPA-free silicone container designed with seven 1/4 cup (60ml) portions for freezing a variety of foods. Come dinner time, just slip out an individual frozen portion, and reheat it in the Babycook or microwave. An airtight plastic lid helps preserve flavor, texture and nutrients while in the freezer. Microwavable and dishwasher safe.

This slot-free Kapoosh Knife Holder is a unique twist on a kitchen favorite. No need to find a specific slot, because the special freedom rods (thousands of thin plastic rods compressed together) hold the knives in place and let users add in virtually any size/shape knife. Especially great when you find yourself with a bunch of old mis-matched knives in your drawers.

No slots means you can store more utensils too. Line up knives in different directions or closer together. Plus, no slots help keep knives sharper longer because you’re not continuously scraping the blades against a hard wooden edge, as is the case with standard knife blocks. Built with a woodgrain exterior and removable, dishwasher safe rods.

If you’ll be doing a lot of cooking/baking this Thanksgiving, the Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor is a helpful appliance to have in your kitchen. And at 67% off the retail price, it’s an even better find! Regularly retails for $110, now on for $36.

Not too shabby a deal considering it’s a Cuisinart. A bit on the small side, (smaller than a standard food processor), but good for cooks who are short on space yet still need a variety of processing options.

I’m already loving this product, and I haven’t even tried it yet.

The T-fal ActiFry is part of the Nutritious & Delicious Series of T-Fal products, designed to shake up the way we prepare our favorite meals.

The unique selling feature of the ActiFry is that it cooks food in a healthier way but still retains the same flavors and textures we’ve come to expect from our favorite eats.

Take fries for example. The appliance features a unique patented technology that combines a heating system and stirring paddle to somehow cook up tasty homemade fries with just 1 tablespoon of oil!

That means 1 spoonful of oil in the ActiFry can cook up to 2 pounds of french fries – enough to feed a family of four. I know, hard to believe!

That equates to one french fry with only 3% fat content in the ActiFry vs. up to 18% fat in a fry prepared the traditional way. Mind you, you have to use good oil of course (like olive or canola), to achieve those low-cal results.

It’s versatile too – the ActiFry can be used to prepare meats, poultry, fish, risotto – even granola and desserts. With little to no oil required.

So not only does it create lower-fat versions of the foods we all love, but because there’s so little oil required, it means a safer cooking experience and virtually no oil to dispose of either.

Watch it in action here.

The ActiFry is currently available in Europe under the Tefal brand. You can find it in North America in select kitchen supply stores and specialty retailers, or you can pre-order one now for $299. That way, you’re ready to rock when it hits the masses.

We’ve profiled fog-free shower mirrors before, but the Sharper Image MP3 Wireless Speaker Fog-Free Shower Mirror takes it one step further by adding music to the mix.

As the name implies, the system’s wireless – just dock your MP3 player into the cradle and it’ll transmit your tunes wirelessly (up to 100′ away) to the fog-free shower mirror. The mirror, in turn, is built with four 2-Watt waterproof speakers that fill your bathroom with sound.

Controls on the mirror allow for adjusting volume or switching to FM radio. The mirror also functions as a digital clock.

And right now it’s on sale for only $50.

Box-type cheese graters have always been popular because of their sturdy shape and versatility. But man, are they ever a pain to clean.

The Microplane 4-Sided Box Grater makes things a bit easier with its removable fine blade, which slides out and lets you get into all those grooves without all the hassle.

It’s also built with 4 popular blades (slicer, fine cut, medium ribbon and extra course) so you can shred up everything from cheese to chocolate to lemon zest.

A soft ergonomic handle and non-skid rubber feet add stability and make it safer to use than the average one-sided variety of graters. Dishwasher safe, and includes a safety cover.

A handy utensil for all those dishes you’ll be prepping this Thanksgiving!
