Champions of cleverly designed kitchen utensils OXO Good Grips has given us a brand new salad spinner and little salad and herb spinner, ideal for delicious summer salads. The perfect antidote to soggy salad leaves, the new salad spinners have a more elegant design and look just as good as a serving bowl on the dinner table as they do when in full spinning action.

We also have an OXO French press with groundskeeper, a modern take on the traditional cafetiere bound to impress any coffee lover. Designed to make the process of cleaning up after a cup of coffee an absolute breeze, OXO’s 21st century version features an innovative ladle ‘the groundskeeper’ in the body of the carafe, it simply catches and contains the ground coffee once brewed and removes the used grounds in one easy step. Simply place the groundskeeper inside the glass carafe, add your ground coffee and then hot water using the convenient measurement markings for guidance. Stir well, steep for four minutes and then plunge and pour for the perfect cup.

Egg and soldiers will never be the same again thanks to RITZENHOFF’s new KOKO egg cups, guaranteed to brighten up any breakfast table. Transforming an ordinary breakfast into something extraordinary, each design functions as two products in one; at the base is an individual egg cup accompanied by a salt shaker on top. Made from porcelain, when combined together the two parts create a funky figurine, KOKO.

RITZENHOFF has also supplied its Mr Salt and Mrs Pepper pots, which also typify the kooky designs that the brand has become famous for. Completely transforming traditional salt and pepper grinders, RITZENHOFF’s quirky take on an essential kitchen item is bound to turn heads. 01666 838 270
