You’re no Iron Chef.

Still, that doesn’t mean you haven’t had a few major showdowns around the kitchen.

There was the wrestling match with the bag of Fritos. The treacherous tango with the citrus zester. And a little thing you like to call the Great Mandolincident of 2002.

Marta Sansoni’s Folpo mixing jar both caters to your ineptitude and improves your cooking. It’s a clever device that perfectly blends ingredients — whether wet, dry, or somewhere in between — before you add them to a larger baking batch. A nifty hand crank sets the wavy fingers swirling into motion. With its three-quart capacity, Folpo can just as easily custom blend coffee grounds or mix up that boysenberry genoise recipe you’ve been meaning to try.

It may not get you into fighting shape for a toe-to-toe with Morimoto.

But  consider future ingredient-related battles already won.
