"TheFoodSection" news and stories

I love it when I find kitchen stuff that I would actually buy. I tend to be pretty picky and frugal, but every once in a while I come across something that speaks to me and invites me to spend my hard-earned money on it.

This pair of beautiful double-walled, hand-blown glass cruets made in the Czech Republic would look absolutely perfect on my kitchen counter. They're available from the MoMA store, and are really quite reasonable at $52 for the pair. Maybe for my next splurge!

I don't know about you, but I'm always hesitant to buy fresh herbs. I never know if I'm going to use them before they go bad. I love to cook, I just don't do it very often. If I cook at home it's usually just for myself, so I just make a sandwich or eat cereal.

If you're like me, and love fresh herbs but don't cook regularly enough to justify buying them, then the Herb-saver might be for you. The Food Section recently brought this device from Prepara to our attention. If it works, it just may be the thing I need to get me buying fresh herbs again.

Has anyone used the Herb-Saver? I'd really like to know if it's any good. I might actually get one. By the way, turn down the volume before linking to the Prepara site: a video starts automatically, and while it's helpful, it's also loud.
