Cool Product - JosephJoseph Double Dish

Like many Professional Organizers who live near a Container Store, I like to take time here and there to walk the aisles and check out what's on the shelves. I'm always looking for cool, new products and boy, did I find one... I thought this one was so unique, I had to own it.

It's called the Double Dish by a company called JosephJoseph.

Besides being in awe of the product, I thought the company name was fun, too. Turns out that JosephJoseph was started by twin brothers, Richard and Antony Joseph. They melded their experience in product design and business to form a company that designs stylish kitchen and cookware accessories (their mother is so proud..).

The 'short-and-sweet' function of this item is to  'Serve snacks, hide waste.'

But wait, there's more...
- Serve snacks in small dish, hide waste in collection dish
- Alternatively, use as two separate serving dishes
- Perfect for shelled nuts, olives and edamame beans
- Dishwasher safe

I bought it. Couldn't wait to use it. Here's how it works...

Put it on a flat surface. Fill the white bowl with whatever food needs to be shelled or have pits removed. I used pistachio nuts...

Eat a nut (or an olive or edamame pod) and place the shell/pit/pod through one of the open green areas of the Double Dish. When the bowl is finished, remove it to reveal what we usually want to conceal. Take it to your trash can/compost bin and dispose of it.

Put the white dish back on top of the green dish, fill with food, and repeat.

Organized eating!

Gone are the days of putting a smaller bowl with a shell/pit/pod next to the bigger bowl and hoping people realize it's purpose.

Summer is almost upon us--wouldn't this make a great conversation piece at your next BBQ?
