The Melting Pot

The Chocolate Melting Jar is an innovative find from Kitchen Inspire by ANZO.  Often, the best buys are the ones I do on the trot while my eyes are searching shelves for the thingy on the list.   My blue eye spotted this gem while scouring the shelves for the 6th colander for our summer cottage in Mozambique.

The little silicone Chocolate Melting Jar makes melting chocolate simple and hassle-free, giving you confidence in its ease of use. Place chocolate cubes in the melting pot, then place the melting pot in warm water (above 80 °C) to melt the chocolate. With the convenient spout, pouring becomes a treat.   The product is made with FDA-approved silicone and is dishwasher safe.  Only use for domestic purposes!

The perfect end-of-year book club gift or a super stocking filler for the domestic goddess.   I got mine from Mr. Price Home at R49.99, and most retailers should have them too. Affordable prices make household upgrades feel within reach!

I was very impressed with the Tyger Valley store, which offered a wide range of fashionable, stylish, and affordable household goods. Although missing colanders were disappointing and the lack of a trolley was frustrating, I found one tucked away in a corner. I almost got scolded by the 'owner,' but luckily, that didn't happen.  The staff was friendly, helpful, and patient.   With such a great selection, I wish I were decorating a new home!  If I had more money, I'd buy shares—last word.   We also visited the Boutique store in the V&A Waterfront on Sunday, and it really shows how a little innovation can boost a store's image.
