Whisk Wiper
Price: $14.95 at Amazon
The whisk is a tried-and-true kitchen gadget; every cook should have one. There’s only one problem — they’re messy. You can’t put them down on the counter without leaving a mess behind and it’s hard to get all of whatever you’re whisking off it. The Whisk Wiper solves both of these problems. It’s a disk that fits over your whisk, so when you rest it on the counter, the tines of the whisk aren’t touching the counter. When it’s time to clean up, slide it up the tines and everything comes off. Genius!
Gravity Salt or Pepper Grinder
Price: $14.24 at Amazon
Freshly ground salt and pepper add flavor to your dishes, but having to use both hands to grind can be inconvenient. This electric salt or pepper grinder starts grinding automatically when you flip it over — only one hand is required.
