These vacuum sealers are designed to keep the ingredients fresh until they are ready to be used and also present options for getting creative with your meals.

This is a 5-in-1 utensil – a slotted spoon, solid spoon, spatula, turner and a cutting tool – designed to replace all other kitchen utensils in the drawer redundant; it can make every cooking experience a breeze. You can use it to flip food, stir it, strain cooking items and simply taste what is cooking.
Spill Stopper Lid
If you are, time and again, confronted by the task of cleaning up the food that is spilled over from the vessel, this spill stopper lid might be a perfect New Year addition to your kitchen. This will allow you to leave the gas unattended for a few minutes or so, without fearing the spills while cooking rice, pasta or even soups and milk. It works as both a lid and a splatter guard; it allows you to set the timer, cover the pot with the spill stopper and go about your work.
