they say a watched pot never boils of course it does eventually but we waste valuable time checking the pot repeatedly or forget about it completely until it's too late time is valuable and so are our pots and pans the solution boiling Biba it floats in the pot and poops when it's hot with boiling pepper you can multitask whether it's preparing the rest of dinner watching TV checking in with friends or playing with the kids just place boiling paper in your pot of water turn up the heat and wait for the beep no wasted time checking the pot repeatedly Nomad panic it's like having a whistling teakettle for your food whether you want the perfect hard-boiled egg a way to prevent boil overs or just to enjoy a few extra moments for what really matters boiling vapor is an innovative and useful kitchen solution that makes everyone's life easier ferm lock is the first true one-piece waterless airlock for mason jars fermentation all you have to do is screw it on and you're done it's airtight keepin oxygen out and has two one-way valves for the release of carbon dioxide the two valves rest above a six channel system that front of the accumulating carbon dioxide towards and through the valve allowing the proper quantity to escape at the proper time if carbon dioxide cannot escape it can actually build up and cause the jar to explode and if exposed to oxygen the batch of food can become contaminated other airlocks work okay but require maintenance water and multiple pieces even the one that claims to be a one-piece requires a second piece firm lock is a true one-piece replacement lid for any wide mouth mason jar for gourmet fermented food in the comfort of your own kitchen all you have to do is prep your food and pack it into any wide mouth mason jar weigh it down with one of our new ergonomic handle weights to ensure the food stays beneath the brine next screw on a firm lock and you're done leave it in your fridge for the following weeks or months you can truly set it forget it and come back to it when you're ready to enjoy it firm lock is BPA free and can be cleaned in your dishwasher along with the weights thanks so much for backing and happy healthy fermenting this campaign is all about you the backers customers and fans who've waited years for us to create two things tongs and whisks and now they're here you might be wondering why we chose to make these products out of metal instead about a silicon the truth is we love silicon as you probably know but metal in this case was really the best material for the job with the tongs we were focused so closely on the innovation of a brand new mechanism had to be made out of metal with the whisk we were looking for huge tension a lot of vibration in the whisk wires and covering them in silicone dampened a lot of that in our tests so for the first round we're doing both of these products in metal I remember when I came to Sam what I thought was the big idea it was to take the best selling product that we had our spatula and split in to give it some teeth and voila we would have a talk but that wasn't enough we had to do it the same way let's do the impossible in designing these tongs in pretty typical gear fashion we wanted something that was classic but it also had some attitude to it we wanted to do something different with the tongs we eventually came upon a mechanism that's so elegantly done that the entire thing fits within the hinge itself it had been for years dozens of prototype engineer is calling us crazy all we knew was that we wanted a pair of tongs that could squeeze the lock and squeeze to unlock we had one thing in mind we wanted them to be incredibly simple and easy to use instantly when you want it to lock it is we finally did it all you want to talk about the whisk whisking is hard work but we've tried to make it easier to design this kitchen icon we got down with some science when we started looking at other whisks we found that the key to a great whisk was actually vibration each wire is evenly spaced so it can move independently and vibrate as long as possible we've created a handle that's comfortable in a number of classic grips including pencil paintbrush and pecan we've placed the center-of-mass far back on the handle to counterbalance the whisk wires this reduces fatigue allowing you to whisk for as long as you need to we're so proud of what we've done here we've brought metal to life in a way that we've kind of didn't think was possible we hope you love it we can't wait to hear what you think there are generally four elements to a great cocktail glassware ice liquid and garnish while most cocktail lovers wouldn't settle for less than perfect ingredients our glassware they're often forced to settle for cloudy impure ice that looks bad melts quickly and dilutes the hard-earned drinks for the past four years our team at Winter Smith's has harnessed the power of clear ice to bring cocktails cold brews and cold beverages of all kinds to a whole new level we were thrilled to have launched two crystal-clear ice boats here on Kickstarter the ice baller and the ice chest after getting some great feedback from our backers we have found a way to take everything you already love about winter Smith's and give you more of them Phantom is a complete ice system that can create seven clear ice spheres six clear ice cubes eight clear Colin Spears and sixteen clear standard cubes and the best part all these crystal-clear ice shapes can be made with regular tap water and your everyday freezer look out for more shape choice coming soon - here's how it works one fill the stainless steel container with ordinary tap water to insert shape tray and place in any freezer three remove in about 24 to 30 hours and twist the shape tray out of the container for serve or store the ice for later phantom increases the amount of ice that you can create it also includes upgraded double wall vacuum insulated stainless steel which means improved quality and durability in case there are any slip-ups now let's get a little nerdy and talk about the signs that play clear ice is created by controlling the freezing process and removing any air bubbles or impurities this also makes it denser so it won't crack apart keeping your drink cold for longer another thing Speirs have the lowest surface area to volume ratio it will melt very slowly while several small cubes have the highest ratio and will provide faster dilution for stronger drinks phantom solves this with its variety of shapes and sizes we could not be more excited to be back on Kickstarter with phantom your support has made winter Smith's of reality and your incredible feedback over the past four years helped us develop phantom if you're looking for an easy to use device that improves the experience of enjoying any cold beverage well you've come to the right place Cheers cast iron has proven its value for over a century but it didn't really make sense to us that my grandmother could buy a Griswold skillet for two dollars and have it in the family for generations but when we set out to buy cast iron of our own we had to spend 100 or $150 to get the same quality yeah so when we set out to make cast iron around we knew we had to match the quality of the classic brands but also the affordability that made them accessible to everyone our biggest challenge was to match the smooth cooking surface of a century-old well-seasoned skillet so we developed a multi-step process that includes machine edging sanding and polishing that unlike others continues all the way up the sidewalk this etched surface is perfect for our USDA certified or flaxseed oil bonding during the pre seasoning process this particular oil polymerizes to create a hard non-stick surface that's a natural alternative to the cheap sway based oil or paint other skillets at this price point use the long gurga nama candle settles in your hand naturally while the thinner connection points transfer less heat from the pan to you we even added a groove to hold the utensil Hana thoughtful design elements like this one are seen throughout the skillet in the accessories we really care about making great things and together with our team a grater goods we've been successfully launching products online and the major retailers for years so we know we've made a great skillet and the initial tooling is finished but we need your help to scale our manufacturing capacity so support our campaign and whatever tier you can and will be able to expand our production levels which will solidify our ability to keep these heirloom with affordable and accessible tab you
