Oil and vinegar neatly served

You know the feeling. You reach for the oil and grab hold of a greasy bottleneck. With the DECANTINO wine bottle pourer this is a thing of the past. It is perfect for oil and vinegar as well.

Food storage containers as kitchen helpers

Food storage containers are used to store food. Well, that's obvious. But they can do so much more: CLIP & CLOSE and SNAP & CLOSE can help with other cooking and kitchen activities, such as breading, leftovers, keeping tidy and much more.

flowflow The sandwich boxes are excellent breading helpers. Place the boxes next to one another. Put bread crumbs in one and eggs and spices in the other – and off you go! If you want to prevent cheese odours in your refrigerator use CLIP & CLOSE containers. Their innovative Perfect Clean® seals leave no gaps that allow undesired odours to pass. Harzer cheese, Roquefort & co. can be stored 100 percent odour-proof.

Left-over sauce from dinner? Simply store it in a small SNAP & CLOSE container and into the freezer. Quickly thaw in the microwave when you need it again. Done.

And food storage containers are just perfect for keeping things tidy - for example for all the little knick-knacks around the house: gift-wrapping ribbons in the kitchen drawer, building blocks in the children's bedroom or screws in the workshop. Everything is stowed away nice and neat and within reach at all times.

The joy of eggs

There is nothing better than a soft-boiled egg for Sunday breakfast. But please, don't use a metal or silver spoon. These substances interact with the egg white giving it a metal-like taste.

flowflow You want to make the most of your boiled egg? Use an egg spoon made of plastic. They are available in many beautiful colours to match any tableware. Are you looking for a more precious variant for your Sunday breakfast table? Plastic spoons with a pearlescent finish are the perfect alternative.

Use our sprayer as an ironing aid

Cotton is certainly not the easiest fabric to iron. The creases can be pretty hard to iron out. This becomes much easier if you use a sprayer.

flowflow Moisten laundry with the extra-fine mist, iron once, and gone are the creases. And to make ironing even more fun, simply use a sprayer in your favourite colour.

A tidier garage and basement

Where to put the ladder when you don't need it? The simplest solution: Hang it on a window box bracket.
flowflow Fastened to the wall, the bracket becomes an excellent helper when it comes to tidying up. Depending on the model, a bracket can hold up to 25 and 50 kilograms. It fits perfectly – for your bike, garden hose, etc. Everything is nice and tidy, where they're supposed to be and within easy reach.

The season's kitchen aid

Every season has its typical fruit or vegetable – and we have the matching helpers.
flowflow Asparagus season
Asparagus is unbelievably tasty – and peeled in no time with our precious 2-in-1 PERFECT KITCHEN peeler made of plastic. The blades can be adjusted from the I position to the Y position to also peel the potatoes.

Salad season
Summer is always the season when one has a hankering for salad. A salad spinner is the perfect tool for washing and drying lettuce. But where to put it when you don't need it? Our tip: the collapsible model by SMART KITCHEN takes up just half the space in your kitchen cupboard.

Preserves season
A funnel is the perfect helper when making marmalade or refilling homemade fruit juice. Especially if it's collapsible, like the SMART KITCHEN funnel. When you don't need it, you simple stow it away in the kitchen drawer - it hardly takes up any space.

Pumpkin season
Pumpkins make exquisite soups – and beautiful Halloween lanterns as well. Use SMART KITCHEN vegetable scoop for cutting and coring. The peel remains intact and can be used for decorating.
