Over-the-Sink Cutting Board
Streamline rinsing and cutting fruits and vegetables with this smart workstation. Introducing Progressive’s patent
pending Over-the-Sink Cutting Board with removable, collapsible colander. The colander collapses to 1/3 its original
height, saving space both in the dishwasher or when storing. The handle on the cutting board extends from 17” to 25” to
accommodate most sink sizes. Use the colander insert with the cutting board or separately. Inserts are available in either
blue or red.
Counting Scoop
Can’t remember if it was the 3 rd or 4 th cup of flour? This scoop helps you avoid confusion and keep track with the patent
pending counter built into the handle. Move the “clicker” once for every scoop. Numbers printed on the handle keep
track up to 10 scoops. Measurements include ¼”, ½”, ¾” and 1 cup.
S’mores Maker
Forget flaming marshmallows over an open fire, make S’mores in seconds in the microwave. Designed with an
innovative water reservoir, which prevents marshmallows from overheating, the microwave S’mores Maker makes two
S’mores in about 30 seconds. Simply stack up S’mores ingredients, lower the white “press plates” onto the stack and
microwave for about 30 seconds. To clean, place the unit in the dishwasher’s top rack.
Slicing Cheese Keeper
Introducing the Slicing Cheese Keeper, which slices and stores blocks of cheese up to 2 lbs. The keeper’s unique design
minimizes hand contact with cheese, helping to keep it fresher, longer. An adjustable cutting blade slides along the
integrated track allowing for different slicing thicknesses. Flip-out handles on the slicing blade provide extra leverage
while slicking.
5-in-1 Egg Slicer
Here’s an all-in-one egg slicer. It cuts hardboiled eggs four different ways and includes a built-in egg piercer, which
prevents cracked shells during boiling. The stainless steel wires and adjustable dual plates create slices, wedges, dices
and halves for hardboiled eggs and other soft foods such as mushrooms and strawberries. A slim profile and non-skid
feet provide added stability. To easily clean, place in the top rack of dishwasher.
Slicing Guide
Use this Slicing Guide as your secret to professional prepared slices of fruits, vegetables, baked goods and meats.
Designed to hold foods up to 6” in diameter, the Slicing Guide adjusts in width securely holding foods while slicing.
Evenly spaced slots guide knives for thin slices, skip a few slots and create thicker, yet still consistent slices. When not
in use, an easy pull hang ring and locking mechanism keeps the guide tidy in a drawer. The comfort grip, contoured
handle is easy to hold.
Collapsible Measuring Cups
Another addition to Progressive’s family of collapsible products, these measuring cups come in 1-, 2- and 4-cup
capacities, have standard and metric measurements and take up less space than traditional measuring cups. To use,
expand the cups to their full size and simply collapse down for storing or cleaning in the dishwasher. The rim
incorporates a wide secure grip handle and no-drip pour spout for trouble-free measuring and transferring of ingredients.
Each cup is available in blue or red with while accents.
Collapsible Measuring Cup Set
Taking up 2/3 less space when collapsed, this set of measuring cups fits compactly in a kitchen drawer and avoids
problems of opening and closing drawers with full-size cups. Keeping the set organized is easy thanks to magnets in the
handles. The 5-pc set includes ¼, 1/3, ½, 2/3 and 1 cup sizes with easy to read standard and metric measurements printed
on the handle.
Flexible Measuring Spoons
Designed with a flexible base that allows for the easy release of ingredients, the 5-pc set includes spoons in ¼ tsp, ½ tsp,
1 tsp, 1 Tbsp and 2 Tbsp measurements. An embedded magnet in the handle makes storing the set together a snap.
Cleaning is also a breeze; just toss them in the dishwasher. The set is available in either blur or red with white accents.
