Saving time, space, and style in the kitchen is big for me. I live in a small bungalow with an even smaller kitchen, so optimized tools in that kitchen that take up minimal space are a definite must. Here are some new kitchen gadgets that fit that bill.
This is a collapsible colander from Joseph Joseph it is made of durable molded polypropylene and is dishwasher safe, folding completely flat for easy storage in cabinets, drawers, or anywhere a typical cutting board could be stowed.
With a design inspired by traditional Russian nesting dolls the Matryoshka M-Cups combine form and function. What does this little beauty do? Its a compact stack-able measuring cup system, designed to completely nest inside itself, providing a small physical footprint as well as an adorable kitchen accent.
There is little more refreshing to a meal than a squeeze of fresh citrus in any of its multiple tart and tantalizing forms. Cutting and storing citrus can be messy and difficult. Streamline that task with the Lékué Citrus Sprayer, it comes in a set of two, one for small citrus fruit like lemons and limes and a larger size for grapefruits and oranges. Use the sprayer to flavor seafood, in cocktails, soft drinks, or water or to season salads with a fresh twist. Two exciting benefits of the sprayer is no loss of vitamins nor oxidation of the juice. Use the easy cork-screw design to insert the sprayer base into the fruit, a silicone ring around the top prevents the juice from spilling and the included dish allows a place for the fruit to stand when not in use. The sprayer is dishwasher safe and comes apart for easy and thorough cleaning.
There are few things that combine more perfectly than ice cream and cake. However the serving of the two can leave much to be desired, these next two gadgets are pioneering a brave new world of serving dessert. First the Magisso Cake Server, featured on Oprah, made of stainless steel and dishwasher safe. This exciting new cake server cuts and serves with one hand the the perfect piece of cake every time. Press the server in the cake, squeeze it gently to remove the slice and release to place the piece on to your plate. Making serving cake and piece of cake.
The second dessert gadget makes serving ice cream not only easy and fun, its also beautiful. It is the Cuisipro Ice Cream Scoop and Stack. The Cuisipro creates cylindrical shaped blocks of ice scream that can be stacked on a cone or cup, or used to top a gourmet dessert. Its easy to use and dishwasher top rack safe.
These cute and equally useful gadgets are sure to make not only your kitchen, but as well your life a tiny bit better. Trust me. I’m in kitchens all day.
