Glorious Gadgets

Here are some interesting gadgets I have come across during shopping trips and browsing the web. I must admit, I have not tried out all of these so cannot share my opinion of all of them. If you would like to share your own experiences of using these, leave a comment below!

✿ Food huggers - silicone tools to keep your fruit, veg, cans and jars securely sealed in order to preserve freshness and make them last longer in your fridge.

✿ Spaghetti Measurer - many spaghetti scoops are made with a small hole in the middle which can be used to measure one portion (around 75g) of spaghetti. Alternatively, use a penny and cover the coin with spaghetti to measure a typical portion.

✿ Silicone lids - Heat resistant, universal suction lids to seal onto bowls, sauce pans, jugs etc which contain your leftovers. They keep food fresh for longer and are a more eco-friendly (and successful!) alternative to cling film.

✿  Nanology Fruit and Veg Disc Savers - These discs can double the life of fruit and veg in the fridge. Simply place in your fridge draw or fruit bowl and the discs work by absorbing the ethylene gas produced by your fruit. Each disc lasts approximately 3 months.

✿ Bag clips - These simple clips are a must in every kitchen. They seal bags and packages to keep food fresh. I regularly use mine for freezer items such as an open loaf of bread or frozen veg.
