Norpro Odor Remover

Tired of the smell of onions, garlic or fish on your hands after making dinner? The stainless steel Norpro Odor Remover is a compact, oval-shaped gadget that quickly gets rid of cooking smells from your hands. Use it like you would a bar of soap. Simply rub your hands over the bar under running water and the odours magically disappear. Retail: $6.95.

Sil-Pin Silicone Rolling Pin

Fiesta Products’ new Sil-Pin silicone rolling pins make a fun and useful kitchen addition. Lightweight and available in colours like red, hot pink, tangerine, blue and black, they are easy to work with and stick-resistant, so you will use less flour when rolling out your pastry. Available in traditional, French and bakers’ sizes. Retail: $45 to $58.

Silpat Silicone Baking Sheet

Greasing your cooking sheets can become a thing of the past with reusable silicone baking sheets by Silpat. They slip easily onto your cooking sheets and stop your baking from sticking. This easy-to-clean product also works well for kneading or rolling out sticky dough. Retail: $30.

Mezzaluna

Chopping fresh herbs and vegetables is a breeze with a Mezzaluna from Nigella Lawson’s Living Kitchen collection. Used by both professionals and home cooks, the stainless steel mezzaluna has double contoured handles and a curved moon-shaped blade that creates a simple rocking motion to help you slice and dice with a few swift strokes. Retail: $37.95.

Magnetic Milk Frother

The Magnetic Milk Frother from Stokes is the ultimate gift for any coffee lover. The frother consists of a small hand-held unit with a vibrating coil that lets you froth milk or whipping cream directly in a glass for great lattes, cappuccinos or hot chocolate. It’s also terrific for blending drinks, emulsifying salad dressings or even beating eggs for a fluffy omelette. The frother attaches magnetically to a chrome stand. Retail: $12.99
