"A report from Donika Gjonbalaj, senior in food studies at New York University. When July 4th comes marching in, we display the flag...on everything from the flag pole to baseball caps to coffee mugs. This year show your patriotism as you wave your spatula.    If you&amp;#039;re planning on engaging in a lot of outdoor cooking on July 4th, or all summer long for that matter, the walnut-handled, stainless steel J.Riley Wasserman for Areaware Star Spangled Spatula ($60) is a fun tool for flipping cuts of steak or burgers. Yes, it has the traditional draining holes, but the cut-outs are in the shape of the stars and stripes. For a lot less you can get the smaller plastic version ($10) to use inside for flipping blueberry pancakes and sunnyside-up eggs. Choose from red, white, and blue... or basic black.    But wait, there&amp;#039;s more spatulas to wave. Tovolo&amp;#039;s Spatulart collection includes a large red, white, and blue Glory Spatula ($8.50) that&amp;#039;s great for stirring potato salad, barbecue sauce, or baked beans and a  Set of 2 mini Stars &amp;amp;amp; Stripes spatulas ($10) that will get the last of the mustard or mayonnaise out of the jar.    The flag and star shaped serving trays in the Wilton Armetale Americana Series ($50-$93) scream July 4th but in a sophisticated way. Cast of a mixture of metals that won&amp;#039;t tarnish, they can be used on the stovetop, in the oven or freezer, and even on the grill. but do hand wash please.   Is your first loyalty to your state? Totally Bamboo offers yes, bamboo, Cutting Boards ($20-$25) in the shape of each of the United States of America.   From Epicurean there are State Boards in the shape of Texas, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Washington ($25) that you can hang from a hole in their northeast corner. And if you hail from WA, CA, TX, FL, MA, NY, NJ, or MN  Talisman Designs has beechwood boards that replicate your state&amp;#039;s license plate. Use them to serve Wisconsin Cheddar, Sonoma goat cheese, Jersey beefsteak tomatoes or whatever&amp;#039;s your regional specialty. The company promises that the remaining states will be available soon.   If you want to take the July 4th spirit one step further, make hamburgers for your cookout in the Mr. Bar-B-Q U.S.A Burger Press ($10.30) to form a patty in the shape of the USA! Even after grilling, the burger keeps its shape. Want to learn how we put consumer products to the test and keep you safe? Sign up for a tour of the famous Good Housekeeping Research Institute.
