Cool kitchen gear like AB's

Apparently I'm not the only person Alton Brown influences to buy cool kitchen equipment. Over at CNET's blog on appliances and kitchen gadgets, they write of the popularity of the plunger measuring device and attribute it to AB using them on Good Eats.

I have two of the large 2-cup size. The first one I bought was the Kitchen Art brand. Then I got a Wondercup like Alton's. And the one cup size as well. I picked up the mini size a few months before AB used one in the Brussels sprout episode.

These little gadgets, all sizes, are fantastic for sticky ingredients. They are used on a regular basis in my kitchen, not because I want to be as cool as AB but because they are so useful. This is most definitely one of the best gear recommendations Alton has made... but then when has he steered us wrong? ;)

If you don't have them, the larger one and two cup size can be found at AB's website. That's what he was doing in the photo above, shamelessly plugging them at Opryland in 2007. The smaller one is made by Kitchen Art.
