Take a spin

Oxo Good Grips
Pop is the new food storage system from Oxo Good Grips, the company that specialises in well-designed kitchenware.

There are 11 different airtight containers that stack and stand and are see-through, so you can find things easily.

Other gadgets worth having are salad spinners that need only one hand (right; £25), mango splitters (£6.50), which remove fibrous seeds with one press, cherry and olive pitters (£9), swivel peelers (£4.75), a colander with sprung legs for easy balance (£25) and the Pour and Store watering can with a rotating spout (£8.50).

Oxo products are available at kitchen shops and department stores. For general information, call 0114 290 1455, or email info@hot-uk.co.uk.
