Leggo of my Lego (cookie)
Yes, sometimes it is OK to play with your food. Especially when your food comes in Lego form. This Lego Rolling Cookie Cutter imprints the iconic design directly onto a batch of cookie dough, cutting them into 2-inch by 2-inch squares. Why this officially endorsed Lego product opts for squares over bricks is anybody’s guess. It’s criminal, I tells ya.

Moving on from square brownies
Brownies are certainly delicious, but wouldn’t they taste better if they were cut into little wavy shapes? Sure they would! Pass up the squares and move on to zigzag brownies with the Wilton Zigzag Brownie Cutter. The soft-grip handle makes it easy to cut brownies into fun zigzag shapes, but why stop there? The cutting tool can also be used to cut Rice Krispies treats, sandwiches, or even lasagna. For $7.95 at Sur La Table, it’s probably worth it if you’ve been trying to cut those decorative edges with a knife. Especially since zigzag brownies just taste better.

No pizza is safe from Mario Batali pizza cutters
Okay, it’s official: Mario Batali truly is a superhero. Just take a look at that Mario Batali Pizza Knife. Only the purest of heart and clearest of mind can wield such a weapon tool. It even has his personal superhero logo plastered on it, so there can be no doubt as to whom it belongs. The pizza knife measures fifteen and a half inches across, allowing for the slaying slicing of most pizzas in one fell swoop. For the not-so-pure-of-heart, or for those still in training, there is always the Mario Batali Pizza Wheel. As a convenience for the home cook, the master chef has made sure there is a place for these in the home; Both the wheel and the knife feature nylon styling to protect your delicate non-stick pans.

When life gives you lemons, make lemon wedges
Sure, you could do as the old saying suggests and make lemonade, but why stop there? Lemon wedges are totally the way to go. Besides being convenient and versatile, they have the added benefit of being a delicious ingredient in many an adult beverage. Save the lemonade for the kiddies, and give life a kick right back in the pucker.
Easily slice and divide lemons and other citrus fruit into uniform slices with the Citrus Wedger from Williams-Sonoma. Accommodating fruits up to 2.75-inches in diameter, the kitchen gadget creates six wedges with one simple motion. No matter how many lemons you may have hanging around, a handy device such as this makes prepping them that much easier.

Eat your way through the eventual robot uprising
The obligatory war with our eventual robot overlords will not be as distasteful as once thought. In fact, quite the opposite: it will be delicious. The Robot Twist And Press Cookie Cutter twists and turns allowing for dozens of robot configurations. The rotating top, middle and bottom sections each feature a corresponding robot part, letting you assemble the exact robot you want. With an army of robots reduced to cookie form, it’s a win-win situation. We get to earn our freedom and eat cookies at the same time.

Dino Sandwich Cutter removes crusts, adds fun
Even as a kid I never quite got the whole sandwich “with the crusts cut off” thing. Crusts are delicious too and deserve such recognition. However if your young’uns need a little encouragement to bite into their PB&J, check out this Dino Sandwich Cutter from Williams-Sonoma. Not only does the sandwich cutter trim off offensive crusts, but it also makes mealtime fun. What little kid (well, the boys at least) wouldn’t enjoy pretending to be some great beast tearing into a dinosaur?
Now, the only problem is what to do about that kid who likes their sandwiches with the crust left on. That’s not gonna fly when everybody else is running around with cool dinosaur sandwiches. (Also available in a stupid boring heart shape for the stupidhead girls.)
