Product Placement Wednesday - Sur La Table® On-Ice Sectioned Appetizer Tray

As you know I am all about kicking off the summer with picnics! Last weekend my brother and sister-in-law were visiting and I did a little picnic with them. They enjoyed it so much that now they are all about planning more picnics themselves! Of course we are lucky in Los Angeles that it is lovely to picnic nearly all year. For those of you that are experiencing/will experience extreme temperatures this summer, today's item is perfect for you!

One of the tricky things about picnicking is how to keep cold items cold enough without keeping them locked away in a cooler. No one wants to eat warm ranch dip. Sur La Table® On-Ice Sectioned Appetizer Tray is the perfect solution! Keeping your food cold is very simple. Just fill the bottom tray with ice and place upper trays filled with food on top. With three divided food trays (6 total slots) and a 1 cup dip slot (which can be used for a variety of items besides dip), the possibilities are endless! Some options include, veggies & ranch, fresh fruit & yogurt dip, seafood & cocktail sauce, sushi & soy sauce, antipasto, or desserts.

Right now this item is on sale for just $27.96 down from $39.95!

Other similar products included in the photo above that may interest you are Condiments on Ice and the On-Ice Acrylic Sectioned Bowl. Both use the same principal as the Sectioned Appetizer Tray but their varied shapes allow for additional options for use. I like the Condiments on Ice for burger fixings as well as cocktail garnishes. The On-Ice Acrylic Sectioned Bowl is particularly great for salads of all kinds.

Each of these items are also currently on sale too! Now is the time to stock up on new products for the summer before the Christmas items arrive next month! :)

Product Placement Wednesday - Chef'n Sudster Drinkware Scrubber

Those that know me well know that I drink a fair amount of wine. Wine glasses are notoriously a hand wash item though when you don't have a dishwasher everything is a hand wash item. I buy my scrubbers from Target and unfortunately they don't always cut it for cleaning my wine glasses and NEVER cut it for cleaning my champagne flutes. When I came across this product, I knew my problems had been solved. The Chef'n Sudster Drinkware Scrubber actually collapses to fit into the narrowest of glassware. Super easy to use and my wine glasses have never been cleaner. I use mine to clean all glassware but it is most impressive when cleaning items that traditional scrubbers could never clean. I purchased mine through Sur La Table though Amazon sells them too (however they are more expensive). If you hand wash wine glasses, this will improve the process drastically!
