The idea is that you have a powered can opener but not one taking up counter space. Trouble is, these are rechargeable, and if you store them in a drawer, they discharge...

Yup, there's nothing like the old dependable hand can opener. works every time!

That is a banana hanger. In theory, it is supposed to turn green bananas yellow quicker, and keep yellow bananas yellow longer. It emulates how bananas hang out in nature, or something like that.

You mean, if the banana hangs vertical, it ripens quicker? Weird. I would have thought temperature would have more to do with ripening quicker than how it hangs.

I think the point for them hanging means they doesn't bruise either.
