This has to be one of the greatest inventions ever! A normal colander takes up SO much room in your cabinets and if you are like me, you need at least two if not four! That is a lot of cabinet space wasted, but not anymore. These fold up and take half the room in your cabinets, leaving room for more fun gadgets.

5.Salad Spinner

Although the salad spinner only has one general purpose, it is a must for you salad lovers out there. Washing the lettuce is one of the hardest things to remember to do and if you forget, the dressing will not stick to the lettuce! Waiting for it to air-dry takes forever; patting it dry with paper towels doesn’t do a thorough job and can leave paper fiber on the greens. Yuck!
