Brieftons 10-Blade Vegetable Spiralizer
I love the ease of the product. I is hard to contain the spiralized veggies. I think the best idea may be to put the spiralizer in a tray larger than it is. The spirals to to the sides as well as forward, so a lot lands on the surrounding table. I ha...

GIR 10-Piece Silicone Kitchen Utensils Set
These Kitchen utensils are beautiful, simple and functional. They are not cheap, so the price does border on being a little expensive for me, but they do seem to be of quality. I like the rubberized coating that is soft yet slick and the turner flips...

This is a very handy little choppper. I've got a big 13 cup food processor that has a lot of parts & takes some time to clean. This chopper is easy peazy to use and clean. No lining things up perfectly. just make sure the bottom cup is on, then d...
Hamilton Beach 3-Cup Electric Veggie Chopper
Electric Garlic Chopper, Mini Portable Veggie Chopper - I adopted a 16yo 6lb almost-toothless Chi last year. He's on low fat, low protein diet, so finding treats Ziggy didn't need to chew, with his dietary requirements was not easy. I would mince "so...

Great oil dispenser! This is my 3rd attempt trying various other brands and this is the best of all. Super easy to use which sprays effectively and pours like a charm. It fits my hand perfectly, functions better than expected and feels like a durable...
2-IN-1 500ml Dark Green Oil Sprayer Bottle
I am surprised how well this oil sprayer works. It gives a good lush spray, more than even a can of hairspray. I had read on America’s Test Kitchen that there were no models of any brand that they recommend. I decided to try this one anyway despite a...
OLIVIA Signature Advanced Oil Sprayer Glass
I love Gir products and this one is no exception. It collapses flat so it doesn’t take up any room and is very durable and well made. I use it for steaming vegetables and holding washed fruit on the counter as well as a colander. The red color is so ...
GIR Collapsible Kitchen Colander - Red
I'm giving these colanders a tentative 4 stars until I see how long they last. These will be my third set of collapsible colanders but this is the first time using this brand. The previous two colanders were constructed using a sturdier material, but...
Silicone Collapsible Strainers Set 3 Pack
Just what I needed to finally organize my Cutco knives! Forever I’ve just had my three most used knives sitting in this little area beside my ice maker. I didn’t want to buy some huge knife block and I didn’t want to mount a magnet to my kitchen cabi...
Magnetic Knife Block with Sharpener, Acacia
This knife block is pretty and very useful. The magnets hold even my largest knives and the quality is good. I've had the old style block, the magnet bar for the wall, and this, and between the three options, this is by far my favorite. It has the ca...
Magnetic Knife Block Universal Stand Large Organizer
Organization & Storage
Excellent product! Ok, so it arrives in a basic cardboard box. Nothing special there. Once opened it is as easy as putting it in the drawer, and extending it to fit. It fits EXACTLY to whichever way you choose. It is made out of a nice plastic, seems...
Homecor Expandable Silverware Organizer 22x19
Love this organizer. I purchased 2 and it fits all my products under the sink. Easy installation. I was able to adjust the height to fit large Dawn refill size bottles and all my cleaning spray bottles in the bottom shelf with room for more. The shel...
PXRACK 2-Tier Adjustable Under Sink Organizer
This silverware organizer fit my drawer perfectly front to back and side to side. I love that it's expandable side to side so it would fit. My old one left lots of space on 1 side that things would hide in and work their way under the organizer. This...
ukeetap XL Expandable Silverware Organizer
These pop top, airtight containers are awesome! I’ve been adding another pop up brand piece by piece because they are pricey. I read the reviews after AI suggested I look at this brand. I am beyond satisfied with the results. The multi pack had the p...
Ankou Pop Airtight Food Storage Containers 12pcs
Nice, thick glass. Rounded corners. Packed well and arrived in perfect condition. As others have said, the inner gasket ring does slip out easily but I'm hoping that this decreases in time. It helps that I don't always snap all 4 latches if not neede...
12-Pack Borosilicate Glass Containers w/ Lids
Wonderful, glass storage containers with locking lids. I have seen some more expensive, but you could not go from the freezer to microwave or oven with them. These are also dishwasher safe. I just make sure to put the lids on the top shelf of the dis...
Razab 30 PC Glass Food Storage Containers
I looked at many of these racks and settled on this one for several reasons. It said it was made of stainless steel and had two racks rather than one, which made me think it would be worth the extra money this one cost. So far, I believe I made a gre...
Loyalfire 3 Tier Adjustable Stainless Steel Dish Rack
I've looked for a very long time and FINALLY found a dish drainer I will continue to use until I die! The Yamazaki dish drainer is classy, light weight and easy to clean! My other drainer had too many parts to clean, was heavier and even after I ran ...
YAMAZAKI White Dish Drying Rack w/ Tray
This is a great product it was easy to assemble seems solid. I messed up and only measured the width so it ended up being an inch too tall for my cabinet above the sink. I have an old buffet in my kitchen I think I'm going to add it too the top of th...
