Juicer saves room on the kitchen countertop for healthy promises

There is always room for juice.

Contrary to common perception, New Year's resolutions do not actually start on January 1. The idea is instead created some time between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. Perhaps the inception happens while chowing down on the umpteenth turkey-and-cranberry sandwich or maybe the spark of the idea comes while staring at yet another plate of mashed potatoes and gravy. No matter when it starts, it is probably safe to say that the bulk of these New Year plans involve eating healthier. Or, as the case may be, drinking healthier.

The Cuisinart CJE-500 Compact Juice Extractor is a low-commitment way to help usher in the new you. Designed with today's crowded kitchen countertops in mind, the appliance converts whole fruits or vegetables into juice while taking up a minimum of space. With a footprint of about 8 inches by 10 inches, the 400-watt juicer operates at up to 19,000rpm, delivering fresh juice into the waiting 16-ounce beverage container.

To be fair to the rest of the holidays, all that free candy on Halloween probably has something to do with subsequent promises. But one thing for sure is that with all the rich food that gets eaten during the cold weather months, finding a balance is important. Especially if that balance means finding room on the kitchen countertop -- say, between the doughnut maker and the ice cream machine.

Kettle corn on the kitchen countertop

Every day can be a day filled with freshly-popped kettle corn.

You know the aroma. It beckons as if it were a magical cartoon hand, wafting through the air until it finds its destination: you. There is no choice but to follow the waggling smoke fingers until you find its source: popcorn. But there is something different about this enticing scent. Tinged around the edges is the distinct sense of sugar and salt. And furthermore, this is not an outdoor event; this is your own kitchen.

Bringing kettle corn to the inside, the Nostalgia Electrics KCP100 Carnival Kettle Corn Maker ($49.99) mirrors the magic of the popular treat without the need to navigate the fairway. The countertop appliance features recognizable styling with a kettle capable of producing 10 cups of popcorn per batch. Add oil, kernels, salt, and sugar, and after the "unique dual stirring mechanism" does its duty, pour the finished product into the waiting storage drawer below.

There is no need to stand in line, tortured by the alluring aroma when the popcorn maker is safely available at a moment's notice on top of the kitchen counter. Automatic operation ensures that sweet sugar-coated popcorn is only a button press away. It may not be possible to be caught off guard by the surprising scent (after all, you do know what you are getting into), but with a window that lets you watch the popcorn popping, you can still manage to get mesmerized by the effect.
