ReServe Wine Saver
I'm no wine fan, but I enjoy an occasional wine bottle. The problem is I don’t usually finish them off, and wine tends to oxidize and get sour.
To avoid this, you can use this handy gadget:
ReServe is a handy bottle corker that replaces the air inside the bottle with an inert gas. This preserves the wine until it’s opened again.
Wine Innovations chose to use pure Argon gas because it is the most neutral gas and thus, does not react with wine. The pure Argon gas safely displaces oxygen from the bottle to reduce oxidation and prevents new oxygen from oxidizing the wine. Some wine preservation systems use a carbon dioxide-nitrogen-argon blend that over a day or two dissolves into the wine. The consumer can then notice an "off" flavor and some effervescence in the wine.
Get it from WineInnovations.

Automatic Knife Sharpener
For someone that already has one, it's and obvious and necessary gadget for the kitchen, but most people don't realize how useful they can be. It's an actual pleasure using a recently sharpened knife.
For a very sharp edge, the EdgeSelect Professional Knife sharpener model 120 sharpens the blad through 3 stages. The angle is predefined for the best cuts.
Available at Chef's Choice.
