We at DSSC are connoisseurs (read buffs) of kitchen gadgets – from honey dippers to garlic crushers, from fruit juicers to ice cube infusers, we’ve tried it all. Our motto is ‘Quirkier, the better!’ and we’ve developed quite a knack of identifying the mega useful gadgets. So if you’re ready to sass up your kitchen just like ours, #DSSCRecommends fun kitchen gadgets you will actually want to use.
Bottle Loft

At DSSC HQ, our refrigerator is always stocked with beer bottles (what can we say, we love ourselves some brews after a long day of work). Since the list of edibles that are required to be in HQ at all times is quite large, we’re always on the lookout for innovative storage systems. We scoured the world of kitchens till we found the Bottle Loft. Magnetic strips which allow beer bottles to hang in air, (don’t worry they won’t fall) and help us save space all along. It isn’t just beer the Bottle Loft can stock, any bottle with a magnetic cap is supported just as well. So, hop on board our new way of chillin’ and get hangin’.

Sure, you are thinking why do we need an elaborate gadget to mince herbs, we do it with our knives all the time. However, this herb mincer makes this job a million times easier with multi-blades. Doubling up it’s usefulness, it also helps strip herbs like rosemary and we all know what a pain that can be (so much so, we often end up chucking the whole thing in). We are thinking how about a lemon and thyme cake for evening? Yeah, it’s just an excuse to use this badass gadget today but where’s the harm if we get a dessert on the way.
