It’s a dilemma that every cook faces - you’ve cut an onion and only need half. Now when you wrap it up and put the unused half in the fridge, it’s going to stink up the fridge and make all the other food taste and smell like onions - even that delicious chocolate pudding! The problem is that plastic wrap is just not strong enough to contain the taste or smell and that putting the onion into plastic storage containers can cut the onion’s life and freshness short. The Onion Dome takes away all of those problems with this little glass house built especially for those onion halves, and it’s also good for garlic and lemons to boot! Simply place the onion, lemon, or garlic into the container, place the domed lid on top and keep it there for much longer than you’d ever be able to with plastic wrap and it won’t ruin any of your other food!

Bananas are one of those fruits that just about everyone likes! They are healthy, tasty, and super easy to grab and go! But that doesn’t mean that this soft fruit isn’t without it’s faults. Have you ever thrown a banana in your bag, either to take to work with you or to have on hand for a healthy snack for the kids? This is a great idea but the only problem is that by the time you or your kids get around to eating the delicious snack, they are often bruised, split, and battered. Not only has the banana now been thoroughly demolished but you are also left with a big mess inside your bag! The banana guard is here to ensure that you have perfect, fresh bananas every time you reach for one!
The banana guard is a stiff outer case, in the perfect shape for holding bananas! There are also three different opening points on the Guard so that you don’t need to worry about squeezing your bananas into it, which would only damage them further. Simply open up the entire case, place your banana inside and close it up. Now you can take your banana anywhere and know that when you take it out, it will be just as fresh and unblemished as when you put it in! The Banana Guard is available from the www.verynice2.com website for only £4.50!
Koala Dispenser and Ingredients Bin

There are many companies that create ingredient bins for placing dry ingredients such as cereal, popcorn kernels, and other items that come in small pieces. These bins are great in kitchens because food can easily be taken out of them and they can then be put back away in the pantry without having to fuss with crinkly cereal paper, bulky boxes, and overflowing the cereal bowl, which many kids are guilty of. Not only is dispensing the ingredients easier but it is also easier to store them as they are generally made out of a clear plastic so that one can tell at a glance what’s in them. They are also often short and long and tall and narrow, making it easier to stack them on top of each other or side by side. This Koala Dispenser and Ingredient Bin is one of the best there is in these products as the lid uses both a flip mechanism for easy dispensing and it can be easily removed for taking out large amounts or for easy cleaning. Another reason why Koala provides one of the best food storage products out there is because they offer it all for only £11.
