Deviled eggs are exceptional enough as they are. The concept of taking apart an ingredient, manipulating it and then stuffing it back together is one that seems like it shouldn’t be successful. (Or even successfully appetizing.) However, when it comes to the incredible edible egg there seems to be no end to how it can be used—or served.

Serving deviled eggs doesn’t necessarily require a specialty serving tray, but considering the item, they certainly deserve one. The Deviled Egg Platter by Tag Ltd. holds a dozen and a half eggs within its telltale indentations (the other six eggs are for the cook). The earthenware serving platter has a diameter of 13.5-inches, making for an impressive display. Complete with a glazed finish and a microwave-safe construction (eww), the egg serving tray mirrors the beauty of the deviled egg, bringing a simple yet elegant serving piece that will be the star of the table.

When it comes to looking for kitchen gadgets to serve as gifts, it can be pretty hard to decide on what to give. The hidden gizmos that populate the kitchen cupboards of those that we know and love can be pretty hard to divine. Luckily there is usually something that every kitchen can use, and yet most kitchens don’t have: stone.

I was first introduced to the concept of soft-boiled eggs, not via a soft-boiled egg as one might think, but rather the egg-cup in which it is served. Not knowing what the heck it was, I assumed the little stand with a concave indentation was only brought out for fancy parties—what kind of parties I could only imagine. As luck would have it, the egg-cup was soon filled with a soft-boiled egg, and the mystery was solved.

If my first soft-boiled egg had arrived at the table in this Artin Rooster Egg-Cup Holder perhaps the puzzling nature of the experience would have been obvious. It is a rooster after all. Standing guard over six earthenware cups, the 9-inches tall serving contrivance makes for an impressive display. At $29.95 consider it a small price to pay for an egg-ucation. Ahem.

There may be a game on the field, but we’re all winners with a spread full of snacks on the table. Especially when there’s a big gaping hole right at the 50-yard line—just waiting for the platter of burgers. And more dip… And nachos… And stuffed mushrooms. And little quiches… And…

You know the problem with slow cookers? They’re slow. While that may be a benefit to the actual cooking process, it does nothing for the eating process. (Well, until all that patience pays off, that is.) By the time dinner is done, it is completely likely that your appetite has shifted and you are in the mood to eat something totally different. But with a slow cooker filled with delicious stew or soup right in front of you, it’s hard to resist—even though it’s not exactly what you wanted.

With the Super Bowl right on the horizon it’s time to consider the most important aspect of the game: the menu. Chips and dips have a natural affinity for televised sporting events, and during the Big Game, ‘Super Bowl’ has more than one meaning. No matter what snack you reach for on Super Sunday, you’re going to need something to put it in.
