Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator

Sous-vide cooking — a method that uses carefully-regulated water at a low temperature to cook meat and vegetables sealed in an airtight bag — is a great way of evenly cooking food while keeping it juicy and tender. But previously the equipment needed for sous-vide cooking was prohibitively expensive, keeping it pretty much exclusively in professional kitchens. With the Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator ($200) you get all the advantages of sous-vide, without all the cost. This small, portable cooker lets you immerse it in any vessel, easily set the temperature, and leave it to work its magic.

Spruce Stove

While knocking down entire trees can be a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, not everyone likes to occupy their day chopping up fireplace-sized chunks of wood. For the lazy woodsman with a strong back and plenty of space in their living room, there's this Spruce Stove ($TBA). Built to accommodate an entire tree trunk (so long as it's straight and has been pruned of all its branches), this stove features a camera-aperture-like opening that allows you to slowly feed in a log as it burns. All you need to do is find an appropriately-sized log, set it up on a couple of saw horses, and watch as the stove consumes anything you feed into it.

Miir Growler

You all know by now that locally-brewed beer is on the rise, and there are few things better than heading to your local brewery and grabbing a growler of your favorite fresh beer. With the Miir Growler ($60), you get that same great experience made better with inspired design. While most growlers are made of glass (or worse, plastic), these are made of stainless steel, and feature double-wall insulation, so your beer stays cold for up to 24 hours without it ever seeing a fridge. The threadless closure on the clamping lid means that your beer stays carbonated much longer, and provides an added bonus of making it easier to clean. In addition to getting a better growler, each purchase also helps people — they donate part of the profit from each sale to help with clean drinking water.
