1. Normann Copenhagen Beater Whisk, $19, from Dream Interiors.

When you’re not using it to whisk, slip the centre ring down and it’ll collapse into a sleek column for easy storage. But an even better idea is to just leave it on your countertop ─ it’ll enliven the kitchen with a sophisticated pop of colour.

2. Prepd Pack, US$60 (S$81.50), from getprepd.com.

This gorgeous lunchbox is just the motivation we need to pack a home-cooked lunch to the office. It comes with microwave-safe modular containers (and a mini dressing pot for salads), and the cutlery magnetically “clips” on to keep everything neat.

3. DOIY I Could Eat A Horse, $14.90, from HipVan.

This quirky pasta measuring tool is especially handy if you always end up cooking too much pasta. Measure exactly how much you need for a kid, an adult and even a horse! (Well, that means for large groups, probably.)

4. The Ultimate Cutting Board, US$149 (S$202), from theultimatecuttingboard.com.

It’s no mere chopping board. This multi-tasker comes with a slicer/grater attachment, measuring cups, a citrus juicer and a drawer for stowing away knives. You can even detach the interlocking halves to get two beautiful, maple serving boards.

5. Aurea Dish Drainer by Delica, $109, from Ewins Home.

Dishwashing has never been so stylish. The minimalist dish drainer can be disassembled, flat-packed and stowed away easily. It’s not the largest, but it can hold about nine plates, and a couple of mugs as well.

6. Le Petit Kit of Food Styling, $65, from beylonguefille.com.

This pencil case-sized kit is what every foodstagrammer needs to glam up a shot. Everything from the vintage and wooden teaspoons to linen fabric were curated to provide a versatile mix of props for any kind of food photo.

7. Cuisipro Herb Keeper, $29.90, from Naiise.

Store your fresh herbs (or even asparagus) in this suspended tray system that can also keep them fresh longer.

8. MyDrap Cotton Napkins, $33, from Tott.

Think of this as an elegant, midway solution between a kitchen rag and disposable paper towels. The pretty geometric prints add colour to the kitchen, and these cotton napkins are machine washable too.

9. Joseph Joseph Chop2Pot, $37, from HipVan

For more fussfree food prep, this transforming chopping board can be folded into a food holder simply by squeezing the handle. This means you can easily guide food into the pot or pan without having to transfer into another plate, plus reducing wastage.

10. Codlo, £119 ($214), from codlo.com.

image

You don’t need an expensive, space-hogging machine to do sous-vide at home. Codlo is a smart gadget that can turn your existing analog rice cooker or slow cooker into a sous-vide unit. Plug your cooker into the Codlo, and its food-safe thermometer will switch your rice cooker on and off to maintain the desired temperature.
