These clever salad tongs can lock into one another to turn into a handy citrus-juicer




It’s admittedly not the most obvious idea ever, but now that I look at Peleg‘s Juicepair salad tongs, I can’t help but wonder why nobody’s ever designed them like this before?! The tongs come with an interlocking design that turns them into a handly citrus-juicer when joined together. However, when you’re done drizzling your salad with lemon juice, just pull the tongs apart into two spoons and toss your greens with them!

The Juicepair’s 2-in-1 design makes it handy during use as well as while storing them. When interlocked, it’s easy to stash them in the drawer without worrying about one of them going missing, and while in use, the dual-purpose design makes the tongs the perfect set of tools for juicing citrus fruits, tossing/stirring food, or even serving up tasty meals.

Obviously, you’re not limited to just salads. You could use the Juicepair to generously season your pasta with some citrus before tossing/stirring too… or while making yourself some incredibly hearty salsa or guacamole!

These are perfect for turning burgers or picking up fish fingers. They have a heatproof plastic handle, and storage case molded to look just like the 11th and 12th Doctors’ tool of choice. Plus it plays the familiar sonic screwdriver sound effect from the show. I knew the sonic could do anything. Now it can help you cook too.

Say Byebye to Burned Fingers and Hello to Fun Cooking with Fingertongs

Finger Tongs

Have you ever felt the urge to reach out and flip that burger over with your bare fingers? Or grab that chicken wing right out of the pan once it’s golden? No? Of course you didn’t, not unless you wanted to burn yourself badly in the process. Or you might’ve–and actually did–if you had one of these Fingertongs.

They look like giant rubber duck bills or clothes pins, but they’re actually pretty nifty tongs that’ll let you flip, fry, and handle your food with control that your spatula can’t give you. They’re seven inches in length and are dishwasher safe so no extra hassles with clean-up there.

These spatulas are priced at $12.21. Pretty reasonable, if you ask me.

Stake 3-in-1 Grilling Tool

stake grilling 650x369 Stake 3 in 1 Grilling Tool
It’s a three-in-one barbecue tool for all your grilling needs. The Stake, which has the crowd-sourced (from Quirky) tagline of “Grip It. Flip It. Serve It.” (I’m guessing that “Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh nooo” was a close runner-up) replaces the tongs, spatula, and fork with one bbq gadget. In fact the whole thing came from a crowd-sourced design process.
