Doug Mockett & Company aims to add electrical function and convenience to countertops with the PCS34 Kitchen Power Grommet. To access the three electrical outlets, users simply pull up on two metal handles. When finished, users press the release button to drop the unit back down. While closed, the lid sits only 5/8 inch above the surface, and a clear rubber ring around the top creates a watertight seal, according to the manufacturer. It is available with clear, black (shown), or satin aluminum trim rings. Prices start at $135. mockett.com
