You love your faithful stick-blender, but how you’ll go on about your Breville LCD Blender, a quiet and feature heavy blender with food processing tendencies.

6-tier-pot-rack.jpg

Hammered Steel


If you have 16 inches of floor space to spare this is a neat and truly civilized way to store your cookware or bowls. No wrestling them out of their hiding places. If you happen to have floor space for the rack adjacent to your stove, here’s a tip: store a round cutting board under the pot on the shelf on the rack that is near your arm level. When you move the pot to the stove the cutting board acts as a small staging area. Or maybe it's simply a handy spot for the cook’s wine glass. Freestanding Enclume pot racks come in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 tier models.

Shelf Space Not Required

Vertical Tip


When an elaborate meal requires more pots than available burners, try stacking. Flip the bottom pot lid and set the second pot on the inverted lid. If the lid doesn’t sit steady, a pie plate can be substituted for the inverted lid.

Design Holds Up


The space saving nature of the Stelton carafe is easy missed with its heading turning design and easy going rocker spout that opens as your pour. But this vacuum jug holds a quart of liquid working on a spare 4.2 inch base.

A Kitchen Lift


This is a move learned from catering; a single cake stand or a group of pedestals increases the surface space on counters and tables. Not only for special occasion cakes, they can prop up fruit, appetizers or serve up sandwiches. Read on to view a selection of styles.
