Weekly Catalog Finds for the Kitchen

BOOS block: Cherry #26724 (shown here), med $99.95 or large $129.95 or Walnut #26725, med $104.95 or $144.95 from Chefs Catalog.  I'm going for the large so I can use it to make bread.
Metal fish spatula:  I need one.  The silicone one I bought for eggs and fish but it is too flimsy.  Chefs Catalog, Item# 24491, $14.95.
Gel Mats:  I can't decide if I should purchase on of these or not.  I'm the cook so technically I would need it in front of the stove or in front of my prep area but where I usually have a rug is in front of the sink.  I like that a rug brings pattern to the floor where this would only bring color.  I just can't decide.  But if you know these are a great option.  They come in plain or various patterns but I wonder how cleaning it would be with a pattern.

Shampoo Dispenser:  No stranger wants to reuse a bar of soap and cluttering the tub with shampoo bottles looks bad.  I want to get a 3 dispensers (shampoo, conditioner and soap) holder for the spare bath.  I've seen it at Bed Bath and Beyond also so I need to check their price.

Wusthof Knifes:  I need new sharp, sturdy knifes and I don't need an entire set.  I need a 8" Chef's knife, a 6" utility knife and a bread knife.  You can get them at many places, one being Chefs Catalog.  I found a set of three "Classic' which includes a paring knife, Item# 93545 for #179.95, they also have 'Classic Ikon', Item# 25611 for $249.95 (need to research the difference and make sure they don't have other styles).  The 9" bread knife is Item#90984 for $75.

Stackable Egg holder:  Now that I buy eggs directly from a farm, I have had to keep old egg cartons in order to transport the eggs.  I think this is a better idea and I like that it is reusable and I won't use the styrafoam one's.  Even if I buy eggs at the store this will make it easier to stack things on top of the eggs.  From Chefs Catalog, Item# 27172 for $14.95 or two for $24.95
