Gadget makes strawberries easier to eat

With the summer fast approaching and strawberry season tied into the Wimbledon competition, the arrival of the Stem Gem strawberry-beheading gadget will be music to the ears of many fruit fans and caterers alike.

Developed by Fire Box, the Stem Gem is a minor marvel that quickly snips off the annoying green bit from the top of your favourite strawberries without coming away with much of the succulent fruit itself.

The Stem Gem has a stainless steel three-pronged pincer at one end and a rubbery button at the other. Pressing the button causes the claw to close over the strawberry’s stem and you can then pull it out at the root with a little push and a twist.

The Stem Gem is not just limited to working with strawberries, as its manufacturer indicates that it works pretty well on tomatoes as well. It will probably be useful for any number of soft, sweet fruits which you typically have to decapitate before they can be eaten.

The Stem Gem will set you back about £6.99 and if you are particularly frugal with its use it should rapidly pay for itself with the amount of strawberry flesh that you will be saving. So whether you are a keen strawberry fan who likes to enjoy them on a warm summer’s day, or a professional chef looking to make the most of the summer and spend less time clipping your fruit, then the Stem Gem is probably a good purchase.

Prince Ozone Seven 7 Tennis Racket Review And Best Price

The Prince OZone Seven 7 is a tennis racket that is used by professionals such as Jelena Jankovic, it is a racket that is easy to live with if no matter what your skill level due to its over sizedsweet spot.  The ozone seven is a beautiful looking beast which is packed full of high spec components to keep you on your A game.

The racket uses some clever technology called the o port which is a clever way of looping the rackets string around its carbon frame.  The racket is strung in a way that keeps tension even around more of the racket head which makes for more powerful and accurate shots across more of the rackets face – this is good news for players like me who quite frankly are challenged by tennis.

The oports also make the o zone 7 more aerodynamic which means there is less drag through the air.  This will allow you to hit harder and longer than if you were using a cheaper racket.  The ozone seven is also customisable as you can order it with a choice of grip colours and widths depending on your preference.
