There is sometimes nothing better than fresh prawns, served chilled with coctail sauce or sauteed in your favorite recipe but it seldom seems worth the hours you spend taking off the paper-thin shells and then fishing the vein out so that you can have perfectly cooked shrimp. This prawn peeler has a razor inside of it that easily slips the prawn out of its shell and takes the vein out, all with the simple turn of a knob! There’s no better way to have fresh shrimp quickly and easily and cleanup’s a breeze too as you can simply take it apart to wash in warm, soapy water. You can then stow it just about anywhere as it’s so thin that it will fit into any nook and cranny! And best of all? The Prawn Peeler only costs £19.99!

Whether you love cooking with them or can’t host a dinner party without having a plate of them by the half-shell, if you love oysters, your kitchen is not complete without an oyster knife. If serving raw oysters at a party, lay some oyster knives nearby so your guests can maintain their elegance while enjoying the succulent shellfish or simply keep one in your kitchen drawer so that you can easily shuck the oysters and shave several minutes off your time in the kitchen!

The OXO Good Grip’s oyster knife is one of the best on the market and available at only £5.67, this is sure to make working with oysters so much easier! The tip of the blade is curved, allowign you to wedge the knife in and gently pry the oyster open and the rubber grip allows you to maintain your hold, even after running it under water while rinsing! And when you’re finished or the party’s over and you want to put up your feet, simply toss it in the dishwasher for easy cleanup!
