29. A snap-on pasta strainer for straining hot water and juices without potentially burning yourself OR losing any of your meal. The space-saving design is a game changer for small kitchens, too.
Promising review: “I’ve owned this for about six months, and I couldn’t imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I’m lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voilà! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it’s good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer.” —Viola Evens
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors).
30. An adhesive wall-mounted paper towel holder *with* a shelf, which checks off several important boxes: looks modern ✅, adds storage ✅, easy to install ✅. Don’t mind if I do!
Promising review: “I used this shelf for coffee filters and kitchen gadgets. It’s a great size and easy to install. I recommend putting the roll of paper towels on before installing to see how much space that takes up and to see how easy it is to replace rolls of towels, this may change your mind about the location of the shelf.” —Juliette
