1Â Fish ScalerÂ
Price: P169.03 from P281.72
When you want to talk genius gadgets, this is one of those really smart ones. If you have ever tried to remove the scales from your fresh fish using the traditional scaler, you know how messy it can get. It's the nightmare of anyone who enjoys a meticulous kitchen because even days afterward, you may find an errant scale here or there.Â
With this smart gadget, you can say "goodbye" to hunting down every fish scale you remove since it has a built-in catcher. With every swipe, the scales are deposited neatly into the little compartment, ready to be disposed of easily.Â
2Â Meatball Maker
Price: P169 from P236.60 (12-12 sale price: P131)Â
Meatballs are delicious! However, it can be a hassle to make, especially when you have an entire kilogram or more of meat to form into tiny balls. Good thing that there are gadgets available that you can use to help you with that. If you have it, a small scoop works perfectly but if you don't have that, this is the next best thing.Â
This spoon doubles as both your meatball former as well as your cooking spoon! To use it to make meatballs, just press the hole down into the meat and the meat should pop right out, creating a perfect ball. Scoop it out with a spoon and you have an instant meatball!Â
3Â Microplane Grater and Zester
Price: P129 from P497 (12-12 Sale Price: P103.20)Â
You know you've always wanted one! If you thought it was just too expensive to get one or just didn't think it was that useful, you may rethink that thought again when you finally get your hands on your very own. This revolutionary grater is a dream to use, especially if you want the thinnest slivers to rain down on your food. Zesting citrus is especially easy! No pith, just zest!Â
4 Garlic PressÂ
Price: P99 from P206
Getting rid of the smell of garlic from your hands is one thing. Chopping up more than two or three pieces of garlic is a chore. Skip all that hard work and let a garlic press do the job for you in one easy! What we like about this particular garlic press is that there is no need to even lift the garlic from the chopping board. Just place it down on a spot then press down. The garlic will squeeze its way through the holes. Instant minced garlic!Â
5Â Lumpia RollerÂ
Price: P99 from P199 (12-12 sale price: P96)Â
This is not exactly made to be a lumpia roller but we love that it can do the job for us anyway. You can make lumpiang shanghai recipes even easier with this handy roller! Just place a small lumpia wrapper against the back, nestle a spoonful of filling in the center, then pull the handle over the lumpia. Lumpia rolling has never been faster or easier! Â
6 Pastel Flour Sieve/SifterÂ
Price: P214 from P307Â
Say "goodbye" to lumpy batter! Whether you're making pancakes, cakes, or bread, you'll want to make sure that your flour and other powdered ingredients are free to lumps. You can use a sifter but one of our favorite features of this mechanical sieve is the fact that the ingredients will fall neatly into your bowl. It's the no-mess way of doing what could result in flour all over your counter.Â
7Â Finger GuardÂ
Price: P71.06 from P135 (12-12 Sale Price: P70.34)Â
Conquer your fear of slicing your fingers with this genius gadget. It's actually quite simple: place this on your finger like a ring and then begin chopping, slicing, dicing, and even mincing without any worry of getting hurt! Just remember to press your knife against the stainless steel surface and slicing off a fingertip is never going to happen!Â
8Â Reusable Silicone Food Covers
Price: starting P28Â from P40Â
Plastic wrap is really a useful but disposable kitchen item. However, since it's disposable and easily tears, it can be a hassle to use if all you're doing is covering food up. That's why these reusable silicone food covers are super handy to have! No more using up rolls of plastic wrap as food covers because this can do the job easier and it can do it again and again and again.Â
