5 Simple Kitchen Tricks That Save Time, Reduce Mess – and Just Make Life Easier

Let’s be honest — the kitchen can be one of the most rewarding and most frustrating rooms in the house.

Whether you cook every day or just prep a few meals a week, we all have those little annoyances: cling film that won’t cooperate, mystery dishes in the dishwasher, jars that spill when you just want one olive…

But the good news? Small changes can make a big difference — and we’ve got some clever little tricks to help you enjoy the kitchen again.

Here are 5 simple kitchen tips (plus a few handy tools) that our customers are loving right now:

1. Stop Fishing Around in the Pickle Jar

Tip: Store your pickled veggies in a flip-top jar with built-in drainage. That way, you don’t have to dig through brine or get your fingers wet every time you want a pickle.

Try This: Our Pickle Jar lets you flip, drain, and serve – and it even comes with bonus pickle forks!

2. Peeling Veggies? Use Your Finger!

Tip: Swap the awkward metal peelers for a finger peeler — it gives you way more control and is much easier on stiff or arthritic hands.

Try This: The Easy-Grip Finger Peeler slips onto your finger like a ring and makes peeling potatoes or carrots feel effortless.

3. Tame That Cling Film Once and For All

Tip: Pre-load your cling film into a dispenser that cuts it cleanly — no more wrestling with plastic wrap or tearing uneven strips.

Try This: Our Cling Film Dispenser slices perfectly every time and keeps the roll tidy.

4. Control Your Oil – Without the Mess

Tip: Use a dual-mode oil dispenser that lets you spray or pour depending on what you’re cooking. It’s perfect for salads, pans, or baking trays.

Try This: The 2-in-1 Oil Dispenser switches between spray and stream with just a twist.

5. Never Guess If the Dishes Are Clean Again

Tip: Put a magnet or sign on your dishwasher that says “Clean” or “Dirty” — no more re-washing clean plates just because you're unsure.

Try This: Our Clean & Dirty Dishwasher Sign flips easily and sticks to any machine.
Bonus: Make It Fun Again

The best kitchen tools don’t just save time — they help you feel more confident, capable, and relaxed while you cook.
