Chop2Pot™ Plus Folding Black Cutting Board

I use this constantly - solid, easy to clean, and a total upgrade from cheaper versions that bend after two cloves.
Good Grips Garlic Press
My go-to for stews and sauces. They’re flavourful but not too salty - and they’re easy to find in most supermarkets.

The kind of sturdy ladle you only realise you need once you have it. Perfect for serving big portions of stew or chilli.
Ladles
