If you’re like us and like to cut up a ton of stuff on a cutting board and then attempt to get it to the stove top and then spill have it off the cutting board while you scrape it in - then getting a bench scraper is for you too. The bench scrape shovel in orange for collecting and transporting ingredients from the cutting board to a pot on the stovetop, or clearing away food debris will save your cooking life. The shovel face crafted in durable, nonporous stainless steel features a soft taper at shovel’s edge for scooping ease. We use ours when prepping lots of little things like garlic and onions and putting them in the pan with one big scrape. At Rachael Ray Tools Bench Scrape Shovel

Seriously - why didn’t we think of this for our free standing kitchen earlier? This mobile beer bar has a built-in refrigeration unit to keep the beer cool, even when not being powered, and even has changeable side tops, with additional cooking tops available. Where do you put the keg? The bar features a large central compartment with CO2 gas cylinder barrel of 30 Lt, and has electrical power of 300 W for everything else along with an 8kg Ice Storage compartment. We think after you load it up it’s not going to be that mobile, but it sure will look great in your patio or perhaps even your kitchen. At Mobile Beer Bar

We have been using these LED puck lights in various places under our kitchen cabinets, and love the 3 states the puck lights have - on Bright - On Dim, and OFF. You wave your hand to toggle the light states, and they each contain a AA battery you can replace to keep them going. Also the lights use a magnet and self-adhesive tape to mount so there’s no drilling. YAY! Great alternative to powered lights you’ll leave on too long and take way more power to use.

This Chocolate / Multi Use Mill can be used on chocolate morsels or chunks to create decorative shavings, along with being used for nuts, garlic, and anything else you need to grind. Cost is just $35 bucks, and the mill is also compact at just 4 1/2 inches tall. Note this is not a grinder - it’s a mill so you will get shavings instead of bits - which for chocolate and others is much better to have larger thin pieces to make it hit the palette in a bigger way.
