FinaMill Battery Spice Grinder
This spice grinder from FinaMill aims to amplify the flavors of your spices in the boldest way possible. If you've ever wondered whether freshly grated cumin is better than pre-ground cumin, let's put that doubt to the test. So how does it work? First, connect one of FinaMIll's FinaPod grinder mills to your device and fill the pods with your favorite spices. You can also experiment with custom spice blends.
FinaMill's marketing manager Louise Kemp elaborated, “Instead of having a bunch of different mills grinding different spices, this is just one and swapping between spice pods is quick and easy.” I am. Kemp further explained: “It's all one-handed, it's super easy to use, it's very versatile, and it looks great on your counter.” You can buy this spice grinder for $44.99 on the FinaMill website.
Nutle
Plant-based milks have been all the rage for a while now. You can now find plant-based milk in almost every coffee shop, and dairy-free milk can even be used to make vegan ice cream. Making homemade plant milk may seem daunting, but the Nutr machine streamlines the process and creates creamy, smooth vegan beverages in record time. Just add your favorite plant-based ingredients, water, and any other flavorings you like, and Nutr will help you blend it all together to create a customized beverage.
“We think this is a great product for people who are lactose intolerant, vegan or sustainable,” explained Eugenia Hariyono, Nutr's marketer. According to Hariyono, there is also an altruistic element to the Nurtr purchase. “Through our partnership with One Tree Planted, a tree is planted for every product we sell.” The gadget can be purchased from the brand's website for $129.
Salton Crepe & Tortilla Maker
Making crepes at home is generally considered a job for calm people. The tactical process of making paper-thin crepes (while avoiding tearing or burning them) is anything but simple. Luckily, Salton's Crepe & Tortilla Maker simplifies this process into easy, fluid movements. Lift the cordless griddle from the base and dip it into the dough, rotating the griddle part from side to side to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Once the crepes (or tortillas) are cooked, use the included spatula to lift them out.
Carmelina Molinara, social media and e-commerce manager at Salton, told The Daily Meal why she believes this particular product will continue to be a crowd-pleaser. “One of the reasons cordless crepe makers have stood the test of time is the convenience of being cordless,” she said. “You have free movement to dip into the dough, smooth it, and lift it with the included accessories.” These Crepe & Tortilla Makers are available from Salton's website for $20.99.
