I recently discovered two handy kitchen organization solutions. The first is a cord organizer, which is essentially a silicone item with a sticky back that you can apply to various appliances, like mixers, air fryers, or coffee pots. It keeps cords tidy, whether they're always plugged in or not. These organizers come in various colors and are a practical way to prevent clutter on your kitchen counters.
The second item is pot lid holders, ideal for kitchens with awkward cabinet space. They help keep your pot lids organized in a large kitchen with many cabinets. These solutions simplify kitchen organization and maintain a neat appearance.
These stainless steel holders have adhesive backs, similar to some of the previous items I've mentioned. They blend in nicely with a stainless steel sink and provide a convenient spot to place your sponge. This keeps it from sitting in the bottom of the sink or in those sometimes impractical front drawers. It's one of those small, yet surprisingly handy additions that make daily life easier and smoother.
I've been using these for over a year in my kitchen drawers, and they've made a significant difference in keeping things organized. These dividers are particularly helpful in larger drawers where items tend to get lost. They allow for custom organization, letting you divide your drawers as you see fit. Whether it's for spatulas, knives, or other kitchen essentials, these dividers have proven to be very handy.
This peculiar-looking tool is designed for smashing and grinding up ground beef or turkey while cooking. When you want your ground meat to be finely textured to absorb all the flavors and seasonings, this tool comes in handy. It may seem like something you don't necessarily need, but it significantly simplifies the process of cooking ground meat.
These stainless steel cups with silicone bands and magnetic backs come in different colors. They're perfect if you have kids constantly grabbing drinks from the kitchen. The cups are just the right size for a few sips of water, and kids can easily put them back on the fridge or another magnetic surface, keeping things tidy and organized. I've found that maintaining tidiness and organization often encourages my family to keep things in order as well.
These spoons stack together and are magnetized to stay that way in your drawer. Additionally, they come with a flat stick for leveling when measuring ingredients like flour. It's a convenient and aesthetically pleasing solution for precise measurements.
The cord concealer plate is an excellent solution for those who dislike the look of cords cluttering up walls, counters, or backsplashes in the kitchen. This faceplate plugs in, and the cord, usually white, goes down it. It comes with various pieces to help adhere the cord neatly, allowing you to guide it straight down or in various directions. You can hide the extension cord with multiple power outlets behind a cabinet, for instance, where everything can be plugged in but not constantly visible. This is particularly useful for items that need to stay plugged in all the time, ensuring a tidier and more visually pleasing kitchen.
Silicone baking mats are a fantastic kitchen addition that I talked about last fall or summer. They are usually available in a great deal, like getting two for around $7.99 (please check the current prices). These mats are wonderful for several reasons. They save you from having to wash your large cookie sheets frequently, and they also improve the evenness of baking. If you've been using older baking mats that are showing signs of discoloration and uneven baking, these silicone mats are a great replacement, especially for cookies and other baked items. Plus, they make cleanup a breeze.
The Tupperware Lid Holder is a kitchen item that might not initially seem essential, but it's a real game-changer. We all know the struggle of managing Tupperware lids in drawers or cabinets. They tend to become a jumbled mess, and you're constantly trying to match them with their containers. This holder allows you to organize the lids vertically, making it easy to see and access them. You can even sort them by size. I added this to my kitchen during last year's organization efforts, and it's one of the few things that hasn't needed a single change since. That's a testament to its effectiveness.
The Angry Mama microwave cleaner is an absolute game-changer. This clever little item comes in various colors, mine is green and purple. You simply fill it with a mixture of water and vinegar, pop her head back on, and then microwave it on high power for about five to eight minutes. Within two minutes, it starts steaming and releasing that vinegar-infused steam, which loosens up all the gunk and food bits in your microwave. When you open the door, it's a breeze to wipe away the mess. No elbow grease required! This product is a favorite among many, and it's often out of stock on Amazon because people love it. My Angry Mama makes me a Happy Mama!
