Featured This Month

Tovolo has two nice feature reviews for some of their products this month. First, featured in the Cooking Club of America's "food now!" newsletter is the Teago Tea Infuser. They wrote this about the Teago: "With Tovolo's Teago, you can take your beloved Darjeeling with you and prepare it wherever you are. All you need is a cup of hot water." "The made-to-travel Teago combines form and function in one slender tube. When the urge to brew hits you, pour some leaves from the storage cylinder into the infuser, add water and let the steeping begin. When you're done, the storage tube nests inside the infuser, compact as can be." Read the full review HERE.

Second, Tovolo's full line of silicone spoons is featured in the September 09 issue of Cooking Light! Their short and sweet review is: "These pretty Tovolo spoons are high-heat resistant, dishwasher safe, and just plain fun."

Come Clean. Full Circle.

Have you experienced these products yet?

We met the people from Full Circle at the Chicago Housewares show back in March and were instantly impressed with their product line.

What they offer are natural and biodegradable products made from renewable resources. Everyday things like sponges, the pot scrubber, dish towels and more.

We are already finding out that the most popular Full Circle item is the ring vegetable brush. It's quite a handy tool to have around the kitchen. It has tough bristles that take care of vegetable dirt yet they are soft enough to not bruise your produce.

Another great piece of info about Full Circle is that the plastic in their products is derived from cellulose and starch in plants, not petroleum.
