Kitchen Helpers

The kitchen gadgets worth drawer space are the ones you use more than once a week. Start with the prep jobs you do most, then look at coffee, leftovers and kitchen organization.

Faster prep

• The 8-in-1 mandoline slicer slices, shreds and grates straight into its catch bowl. It comes with interchangeable blades, a hand guard, a drain basket and an egg divider with grater, in Blue or Pink.
• The garlic and onion chopper works by hand: press the top a few times and the round stainless steel blade does the chopping.
• The clip-on pot strainer is silicone and clips onto the rim of most pots, so you can drain pasta with one hand. Choose Black, Green, Red or Blue.

Coffee and cans

A handheld milk frother whips milk into foam for lattes and matcha with one press of the button, and the double whisk head it comes with handles eggs and dressings too. It takes 3 AA batteries. For pantry staples, the electric can opener opens a lid with one touch and leaves smooth edges. It runs on 2 AA batteries, which aren't included.

Leftovers and storage

• Silicone stretch lids come in 6 sizes, from about 2.6 to 8.1 in (6.5 to 20.5 cm) across, and stretch over bowls, cans and cut fruit. Buy 6 lids or 12.
• The mini bag sealer reseals chip and snack bags and has a cutter for opening them. It charges over USB-C and comes as a Pink pig or a Brown bear.
• The magnetic fridge shelf puts spices and sauces on the side of the fridge with no drilling. It comes in Small, Large, a 2-piece set or a 4-piece set.

If cabinet space is the real problem, the pull-out under-sink organizer brings the back of the cabinet to you.
