One of things I enjoy about going to In ‘N Out Burger is watching the employees make the French fries from whole potatoes. This cutter from Chef’s Catalog makes perfectly sliced, thick or thin French Fries from one potato with a single press of the handle. You can also use it for other root vegetables.

Made from natural stone and shaped by nature, each granite wine cooler is unique in shape, color, and structure. Whether you plan on buying one (or more) for yourself or as a gift, these coolers will make for great summer entertaining.

Freeze the cooler overnight. Keep your wine chilled for hours while you’re having fun. Available at RedEnvelope.com.

I was reminded of Tim the Toolman Taylor and his unique “man” tools when I saw this set. Instead of relying on a rack or a large plate to hold barbecue tools, serious grillers can wear them on a belt. This set comes with a grill knife, tongs and a spatula, all of which are dishwasher safe. The adjustable belt is also machine washable. Available at Sur La Table.
