Six items to simply your life

From the folks at Real Simple Magazine:

Chef’s Basting Set

This no-mess silicone-brush-and-glass-bowl duo lets you baste your turkey, not the inside of your oven. The brush’s handle acts as a dropper: Squeeze it once to absorb the liquid, then again to release as you baste.
