Now for the giveaway I promised. You may have noticed it in the photos above. The green strainer with my cooked spaghetti in it. Yeah, yeah, I know you are wondering what’s so special about that strainer. 🙂

Okay, wait for it, wait for it…. It collapses! Yes, you have the full size function of a strainer with the space saving ability to collapse! I have a large bulky strainer that is pretty and matches my dishes. To use it, I much pull two other bulky bowls out at the same time while trying not to break anything. It worked, but it was inconvenient.

Space saving #kitchenhacks

The space saver strainer pops open for use, then smashes flat for storage. Look! I can hang it right inside my cupboard door, virtually wasted space until now.
