Turntable
This turntable is around $30 from Howards Storage World and is perfect for organising your sauce and condiment bottles – or anything really.
How many have you got in the fridge? Soy sauce, ketcap manis, terriyaki, plum, black bean, chilli, hoe-sin, garlic, fish sauce etc.
Before, they all used to get knocked over when I was looking for something. Now, it’s fantastic. It’s also great in the pantry for sauces, vinegars and oils. Don’t buy a cheap one because when this is full (mine has 16 bottles/jars on it), it’s heavy, so a cheap one wouldn’t work as well.
Have a look at our BEFORE & AFTER for shots of the turn table in action.
Vegetable crisper
Do you find the vegetable crisper in your fridge, too low and difficult to access NOT to mention a pain in the neck to clean?
Our solution: Use 1 or 2 large air tight plastic containers on the bottom shelf of your fridge for all your vegetables instead. When preparing dinner simply put the container onto your bench to easily see what veges you have. It’s also easier to keep check of what’s going off and needs throwing out. No need for plastic bags any more, empty everything straight into the container. If it’s air tight the vegetables will last for ages. Use your vegetable crisper to store things like poppers, medications requiring refrigeration, unopened bottles of juice, fresh pasta etc. Try it, you’ll never have to clean those crispers again.

Multipurpose Shelf
There are many places we’d like another shelf – this is one we use frequently. It’s almost square [W28.5cm x D30cm x H17cm] so it fits into alot of places.
It’s great in kitchen cupboards to divide bowls and casserole dishes, so you don’t have to lift out 4 to get to the one you want. It’s also great for the pantry, under the kitchen sink, laundry cupboards and bottom of wardrobes. You can even put it on your desk and put a small printer on top, so the paper can go underneath! As you can see in the photo, a standard basket also fits underneath for easy access.
