Get Scrap Happy

Ami AngelowiczMay 14, 2012 //

For me, the most annoying part of cooking in my tiny kitchen are all the scraps that get in the way. Chop one cucumber and my counter is practically overtaken. Forget about an entire salad. Good news! There’s a kitchen appliance for your scrap issues. The Scrap Trap provides extra prep space by trapping your kitchen scrapings, peelings, skins, shells and bones. Just brush the unwanted bits into the clip-on bin with the scraper brush and dump them directly into the trash. Or into your composting heap if you’re green like that. A very happy way to collect your cooking scraps.

Just twist the eraser, season liberally and let the witty banter ensue.

Your spoons only deserve the best, even when they’re dirty. Keep your counters clean and your cooking accoutrements sitting pretty with this stiletto spoon rest. Best part is, these heels are stainless steel. So when you’re done stirring your sauce or mixing your batter, just throw this pump in the dishwasher.

Stylelist HomeNovember 9, 2011 //

Food Prep:
- Buy small appliances such as toasters, microwaves, and can openers that can be mounted underneath cabinets.

Nobody has filing cabinets anymore. I mean, well, most people don’t! Who has papers, after all, when everything’s stored conveniently on hard drives? But that doesn’t mean you should throw your bulky home filing systems away just yet. They can be handily re-purposed as raw surfaces for the kitchen or living room. Shown here, a filing cabinet with the addition of a cutting board on top, and a towel rack drilled into the side, turns into a great kitchen cutting and storage surface. [Apartment Therapy]

What’s A “Kitchenista”?

Jessica WakemanMarch 31, 2010 //

Don’t have enough closet space? Join the damn club. Who amongst us does not trip over, like, three pairs of shoes each morning because we’ve got nowhere to store them?

But now The New York Post introduces us to the ladies and gentlemen who put our closet space woes to shame: “kitchenistas,” who use their stove, fridge and other kitchen stuff as extra storage for their wardrobe. Keep reading »
