Abstract: A drinks container includes a circumferential recess, the recess having a diameter which is smaller than adjacent portions of the container; a sleeve received in the recess, the sleeve having an inner diameter which is smaller than the adjacent portions of the container and containing the constituents of an endothermic reaction; wherein the constituents are separated from one another in an unactivated configuration and are combined in an activated configuration thereby causing an endothermic reaction; wherein the container or sleeve is deformable to allow the sleeve to be received over the adjacent portions when the sleeve is in the unactivated configuration.

Abstract: A culinary press comprises first and second elongate members (4,6) pivotably connected to each other near a pressing end at a first pivot point (8), the first member (4) at least in part defining a food receiving chamber (9), and with a perforated surface provided against which forced to be crushed is pressed, and a pivotably mounted plunger (30) disposed between the elongate members to be pivotable about a second pivot point (28) into said chamber (9), wherein the plunger is mounted so that the second pivot point (28) is disposed on the opposite side or the first pivot point from the chamber (9), and wherein the second elongate member (6) is formed with an actuating finger (16) which bears on the plunger (30).

Abstract: A culinary peeler having an elongate blade bent or curved in its lateral dimension having at least one longitudinal opening extending along its length with a sharp cutting region adjacent the opening, wherein the blade is of curved form in its longitudinal direction.
