It rests snugly inside the lip of frying pans and opens upward, at a 120-degree angle, creating a continuous convex wall above the rim of the pan. It stops splatter before it reaches stovetops or clothes, but allows steam to escape freely. Because the wall is widest at the top, the pan's cooking surface is al- ways easy to see and access. Unlike traditional splatter screens, it provides continuous protection, even when adding, stirring or flipping. FRYWALL is dishwasher safe and stores away in a compact sleeve, and can withstand up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Comes in four colors. Suggested retail price: $21.95–$28.95 Gowanus Kitchen Lab yair@frywall.com www.frywall.com KIQ WHISK & SPLAT FROM KITCHEN IQ The KIQ Whisk & Splat combines the function of a typical whisk with a spatula.

Designed to effortlessly slice, spread and form butter into perfectly shaped restaurant-style curls, the new Butter Blade will be available in September at Sur La Table and other retail stores nationwide in October for a suggested retail price of $9.98. The ideal tool for everyday meals, as well as cooking, baking and entertaining, the Microplane Butter Blade is smartly engineered with a uniquely designed and shaped blade that makes using butter easy. The topside of the Butter Blade cleanly slices pats of butter and easily cuts through paper wrapping with printed measurements for accurate cooking and baking. The bottom side of the Butter Blade features three rows of tiny holes that, when pulled across a stick of butter, create soft strands that warm up rapidly to flawlessly spread on soft bread, toast, muffins, scones, corn on the cob and more. The rounded tip of the Butter Blade has an ingeniously crafted, hollow semicircle to instantly create attractive curls by simply pulling the tip across a stick of butter. A new and efficient addition to anyone's drawer of table knives, the dishwasher- safe Butter Blade can also be used on cream cheese. For more information visit www.microplane.com. KN SinkShroom: Sustainable Solution to Clogged Drains Owners of Juka Innovations Corp. and creators of TubShroom have launched the SinkShroom, a sustainable solution to prevent clogged sink drains. The new prototype comes to life after demand f rom consumers who saw the difference TubShroom made in keeping their bath drains un-clogged. Husband and wife duo Elena and Serge Karnegie are eager to introduce their next invention, which is now available nationwide. Just like TubShroom, SinkShroom works to capture any and all fallen hair, but this time fits into a standard 1.25-inch sink drain. The tool was designed to rise about half an inch above the drain in order to provide seamless water flow, while preventing hair and other objects f rom passing through. It is a chemical-free way to keep drains clean and an eco-f riendly alternative to harmful liquid drain cleaners. SinkShroom has been tested on all types of hair, proven to work with both human and pet hair. " We were thrilled to find the solution to a problem we know so many people have, including ourselves, and to be able to share it with the world. Our hope is to make people's lives easier and eliminate the use of harmful drain solutions and chemicals that wear away at pipes," says Elena Karnegie, Co-Founder and Inventor. After successful Kickstarter and IndieGoGo campaigns launched in early 2016, the prototype raised a combined $74,000 and garnered support f rom over 41 countries. SinkShroom is now available in five different colors: white, blue, green, grey and orange, on Amazon.com for $12.99. It will soon be available at Bed Bath & Beyond, The Home Depot, Ace Hardware stores and other retail locations. For more information about the products, please visit www.tubshroom.com. KN
