Tools And Gadgets For Kitchen Dining

Kitchen dining is becoming increasingly popular.


If you have a home where the kitchen and dining room is combined, it can present a challenge when having dinner for your family and guests. Besides setting out your best china, crystal glasses and stainless steel flatware, you can create a mood for your dinner guests with some 'must have' tools and gadgets that can make the whole dining experience pleasurable and appear effortless.


Light Dimmer Switch


A light dimmer switch for your overhead dining light fixture can be used to create ambience in the room. Simple to install and operate, dimming the light over your dining table visually separates the kitchen from the dining area. It also draws attention away from the messy prep area of the kitchen.


Wireless Electronic Wine Thermometer


The wireless electronic wine thermometer bucket. You place your wine in a bucket of ice and water, press the button to indicate the type of wine you are serving, insert the temperature probe into the bottle of wine, turn the probe and ice bucket on and the bucket keeps your wine the proper temperature throughout the meal. Sleek-looking, it is a great conversation piece and the perfect accompaniment to your corkscrew with wine and beer bottle opener.


Lazy Susan Server


A 'Lazy Susan' server in solid birch with a clear acrylic finish or in a wood to match your dining room furniture would be ideal for your kitchen dining. Several dishes can be set out on your lazy susan, and with a flick of the wrist, this gadget can be rotated so each person around the table can have easy access to the food without much stretching or going back and forth to the kitchen.


Pizza Stone and Accessories


For a casual dinner, a seven piece pizza set is a perfect way of presenting and serving a pizza. The chrome plated lifter provides ease in lifting and moving your pizza and pizza stone, and the stainless steel pizza cutter, server, grater and spoon for ladling on extra sauce can make having a pizza seem like a grand dinner.
