The Best Corkscrew In The World Gets Some Competition…

The Metrokane Rabbit, the very best corkscrew in the world as rated by the editors of WaffleMouse, faces its toughest competition ever. (To read our list of the Eight Best Wine Openers in the World follow this link.)

Recently, a top wine products supplier introduced a corkscrew that will give both the Black Rabbit (cool, but not our favorite) and the Silver Rabbit (our favorite) a run for their money.

The newest competition for the Metrokane Rabbit is the Vertical Rabbit from, who else? Metrokane.

Other Metrokane corkscrews, like the Houdini, are fine but they don’t come close to the original Rabbit. The new Vertical Rabbit is eye-appealing (of course) but also very functional. In many ways it’s actually better than the original.

The new Vertical Rabbit is the easiest corkscrew ever. It’s as easy as placing the opener over the bottle and lowering and raising the lever – that’s it. It pulls a cork in three seconds and ejects it immediately simply by lowering and raising the lever. As of this writing, the Vertical Rabbit comes in three colors: Candy-Apple Red (very, very sharp); Gun-Metal Grey (classy); and Velvet Black (goes with everything).

Given that this may be the best corkscrew of all time, it’s easy to figure out that it’s not cheap. Amazon currently lists these for $60 with free shipping.

Waffles are, in a way, toast. They’re batter based, but they have their roots in flour. Bread, when heated, of course becomes toast, and one would think that of you have waffles on your plate that you do not need toast.

Think again, waffle-lover! Breakfast without toast is like a day without heated bread and butter. Sacrilege.

We love out toast at WaffleMouse, and the editors put their noggins together to bring you the very best toasters money can buy. We avoided the high-priced toasters, because we all know that toast is just heated bread. Here are the last toasters you’ll ever need to buy (we even included the Amazon.com price to help you decide):

The WaffleMouse knows blenders. Why do we know blenders? Well, sometimes you make your waffle mix in a blender instead of a bowl. Plus, some of the hand mixers work great to mix up some tasty waffle batter.

Whether you’re a smoothie nut (who isn’t?) or you just like making your own V8, you’ll love these blenders that the WaffleMouse rates as Best Buys in Blenders.

We actually use our blenders for making milkshakes, and we are most impressed with the power and convenience of the first three choices on this list of the Very Best Blenders in the World:

·       Braun MR430HC Multiquick Deluxe Hand Blender & Chopper  

Looking for an unbelievable hand blender, mixer and chopper? The Braun MR430HC Multiquick Deluxe Hand Blender & Chopper is a bargain (because you get what you pay for). We found it on Amazon for $99.99.

·       Waring PBB25 Professional Bar Blender, Black and Stainless Steel  

The best bar blender available for the money! Do enjoy nice blended Margarita every once in a while? We do, that’s why we love the Waring PBB25 Professional Bar Blender, Black and Stainless Steel. A bargain on Amazon at $149.00.

·       Cuisinart CSB-76 Smart Stick Hand Blender

We almost chose this as the best hand blender/mixer available – almost. This Cuisinart CSB-76 Smart Stick Hand Blender is clearly the second best hand blender/mixer available and a guaranteed best buy blender.

·       KitchenAid KPCB348PNP Pro Line Chef’s Blender  

The very best all-purpose kitchen blender, this Kitchen Aid Pro Line Chef’s Blender comes with a Polycarbonate Jar, and is worth every penny at $218-$250.

·       Kitchen Aid KHB100OB Hand Blender, Onyx Black

A great hand blender for the money, this Kitchen Aid KHB Hand Blender in Onyx Black is a best buy at less than $50.

·       Cuisinart CSB-76BC SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender

Cheaper than the Kitchen Aid, this Cuisinart CSB-76BC Smart Stick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender in Brushed Chrome, is not as sturdy as the Kitchen Aid, but still a great buy at under $35.

·       Oster 4094 Classic Osterizer Blender, Chrome

Dollar for dollar, this is a great blender. The Oster 4094 Classic Osterizer Blender in Chrome can be bought for as low as $64.99 online and is a great starter blender for someone looking for value.

·       Waring MBB518 Professional Quality Food & Beverage Blender  

A great all-purpose blender, the Waring MBB518 Professional Quality Food & Beverage Blender in Stainless Steel will do the job and will look good on your counter. We found one on Amazon for under $130.

Okay, we like Waffles and Mice, but we also like wine. In fact, we seem to fall in love with more and more wine the more we consume. (Weird, we know.)

So much attention is paid to vintage, grapes and cork, that the editors of WaffleMouse felt like it was time to pay homage to the most important ingredient in a great wine experience – the wine opener.

We’re not about to discuss whether using an electric wine opener is sacrilege – that would be silly. Every wine enthusiast knows electric wine openers that work every time are rare, so that if you find a good one, you stick with it (and just enjoy the wine).

Don’t even get us started on the recent move by some vintners to try to sell us on the screw top wine bottles. Pulling a cork is 99% of the experience in enjoying great wine.

Our list of the very best wine openers in the world is a mix of both electric and manual wine openers, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy that tasty 1995 Opus One even more when you use one of these great gadgets.

In vino veritas, as you may know, means “in wine (there is) truth.” Of course, we like to say “in WaffleMouse veritas.” Enjoy!

As you know, the editors at WaffleMouse just L-O-V-E love waffles. We love them so much, we eat waffles for breakfast, we eat waffles for lunch and we eat waffles for dinner. Waffles, we surmise, must be the world’s perfect food.
