Kitchen storage gadgets—the underappreciated heroes of a functional kitchen. When you’re cooking nothing is more irritating than when you can’t find a certain spoon, the garlic press is missing or you open up a drawer only to be greeted with a jumbled mess of gadgets. Not to mention how chaotic the pantry can get with all those bags and boxes cluttering it up. So today we say “No More!” and are showcasing fabulous and functional kitchen storage gadgets to help get your kitchen back in order.

Crazy for Canisters

This Polder Canister Set blends style and function into a sleek looking set of space savers. I love how the canisters have a window that not only allows you to see what’s in them but how much of it you have left—brilliant. These are so gorgeous you could even let them sit on the kitchen counter filled with often used items such as coffee or sugar and they’ll look fabulous.

Spicy Storage

For my money there’s nothing better than a kitchen storage gadget that multitasks. This spice rack not only stores your spices but actually measures them out, too. Just turn the dial to the desired amount and click. The exact amount is dispensed, eliminating the need for a measuring spoon. The wide opening at the top also makes refills a snap.

KitchenArt 12-bottle Spice Carousel, White Here’s a spice rack that stores, measures and dispenses your spices from a convenient turntable that spins like a carousel! Each spice container (12 in all) features a dial at the bottom that dispenses 1/4 teaspoon with each click - just place your measuring spoon underneath the dial before you begin clicking. At the top of each container are snap-open tops - a wide one for pouring and a small one for shaking. Each spice container is labeled with the spice’s name and even features see-through windows so you can easily identify which one you need and see when your spice is about to run out. Place on your countertop or mount underneath your cabinet. Spices not included.

Keeping It Together

Tired of losing your recipe cards or flipping through every one just to find your favorite? Keep your recipes organized and your kitchen clutter free with this oversized maple recipe box. Its ingenious design makes room for both 3×5 and 4×6 cards so both sizes can be stored in one handy place.

Less Mess with Dispensers

Anyone who has kids knows that when they make their own bowl of cereal half goes in the bowl and the other half magically appears on the floor. Cut down on the spillage with this handy dry goods dispenser which allows kids and even a messy adult to pour commonly used dry goods without all the free falling. A very kid and slob friendly kitchen storage gadget indeed.

Zevro 35-oz. Double Dry Goods/Cereal Dispenser, Red Store two kinds of cereal or granola in these containers, and they’ll stay fresher, longer. The knob on front turns either right or left, dispensing just the right amount into your bowl., 1-oz. per quick turn. An airtight seal keeps cereal or granola fresher than those left in their boxes or bags, so your breakfast foods are crunchy and never stale. Place them on your kitchen countertop or on your pantry shelf, and store everything from rice and dried beans to nuts and snacks. Each one holds 17.5-oz.

I hope these handy items have inspired you to ban the clutter and opt for organization. After all a kitchen without kitchen storage gadgets is a kitchen in chaos!
