A mini food chopper (and grinder) is the perfect tool for small amounts of dry ingredients. Nuts, whole dried spices, seeds and even coffee beans can be ground up easily, simply by pressing down on the lid. The small container size keeps the ingredients in close quarters, which chops and grinds them up thoroughly and quickly. This 9-oz. chopper stores easily, too!

This jar opener is a great invention! Iit releases the vacuum suction from jar lids, making it a cinch to open the jar with your bare hands. Simply place the circular shape over the side of the jar lid and lift. Once you hear the "pop" noise, the lid will open with ease.
