Gizmos for Cooks

When you’re an avid home chef, it’s inevitable that you’re going to have fresh herbs in a plastic bag in your fridge.  But fresh herbs only last so long, and it’s often difficult to use up every bit of basil or pinch of parsley before the herb starts turning brown.  Fortunately, Solutions has introduced the Herb Storage Jar, which features a ceramic base that holds water so herbs can stay hydrated and garden-fresh.  The acrylic tube allows you to store herbs of any length, and the stainless steel lid is designed to keep refrigerator odors out.  Of course, you can also store your herbs on the countertop using this gizmo if you prefer.  And when you need a dash of dill or sprinkle of sage, you’ll have what you need on hand — unwilted and as fresh as the day it was picked.
