1. Electronic Mason Jar Sealer

2. Pyramid Pan Mat
Ever struggled to get your chips perfectly crispy without frying? The pyramid pan mat is a silicone baking mat designed to let hot air circulate underneath your food while cooking. It’s reusable, non-stick, and easy to clean—though I’ll admit, the texture might take some getting used to it also doubles up as a silpat or cookie mould!

3. Stasher Silicone Storage Bag
Reusable silicone bags are all the rage, and the Stasher brand is one of the most popular. These bags are freezer-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-friendly. Great for reducing single-use plastic in your kitchen, but are they really as versatile as they claim? Spoiler: they’re brilliant for marinating meat and cooking directly in them!

4. Rhubarb Duck Mould
A bit of a wildcard here—this mould is shaped like a duck and designed for making rice shaped things (yes, really). It’s as quirky as they come, but does it deliver results worth showing off at your next dinner party? It’s certainly fun to play with, but not the most practical and I have no idea about the rhubarb reference.

5. Dartington Chopbox
This multi-functional cutting board isn’t just for chopping; it’s also a storage box and comes with handy features like grooves for catching juices. Ideal for anyone short on counter space, though I wonder how many of its functions you’ll actually use day-to-day and you can get your finger stuck in it quite easily!

6. Deep Fat Frying Pot
Finally, we’ve got the deep fat frying pot—a compact, stovetop-friendly alternative to a big electric fryer. It’s perfect for whipping up homemade chips, tempura, or even doughnuts. Plus, it’s easier to clean than a full-sized fryer! Just make sure you’ve got a thermometer handy, it can also sieve, strain and store your oil.
