The everyday workhorses
Joseph Joseph Chop2Pot Plus Folding Chopping Board
A ScanAndSaveIt favourite for a reason: chop your veg, squeeze the handle and the board folds into a chute, so everything slides into the pan instead of across the worktop. It's knife-friendly, dishwasher safe and hard-wearing — thousands of reviewers say theirs has lasted years. The large size suits most hobs and it stores flat in a slim gap.
Typical price: £14.00
Salter Arc Digital Kitchen Scale
Baking without accurate scales is guesswork, and this slim Salter fixes that for barely more than a tenner. It weighs up to 3kg in 1g steps, switches between metric and imperial, and the add-and-weigh function zeroes the bowl between ingredients. The flat glass top wipes clean in seconds and slips into a drawer.
Typical price: £12.99
OXO Good Grips Y Peeler
The best peeler most people will ever own. The sharp Swiss-made blade glides through potatoes, carrots and butternut squash, and the chunky non-slip handle stays comfortable even when your hands are wet. Reviewers regularly say it outperforms peelers costing twice as much — a genuine kitchen upgrade for under a tenner.
Typical price: £8.50
Zyliss Lock N' Lift Can Opener
A can opener sounds boring until you use a good one. The Zyliss cuts smoothly, locks onto the tin so you don't have to grip while turning, and a lever lifts the lid off so you never touch a sharp edge. It's the sort of tool that quietly earns its spot for a decade.
Typical price: £11.00
Microplane Premium Classic Zester Grater
The chef's choice for parmesan, lemon zest, garlic, ginger and nutmeg. Microplane's photo-etched blades shave rather than tear, so you get fluffy piles of cheese and zest without the bitter pith. It rinses clean under the tap and comes with a protective cover for the drawer.
Typical price: £15.99
Small appliances that punch above their price
Russell Hobbs Desire Hand Blender
Soups, smoothies and sauces without dragging out a full-size blender. This 500W stick blitzes a pan of soup in under a minute, the wand detaches for easy washing, and it takes up almost no cupboard space. For occasional blending, it's all most kitchens need.
Typical price: £16.99
Kenwood Mini Chopper
Onions, herbs, breadcrumbs, pesto, curry pastes — this compact chopper handles the fiddly prep jobs in seconds. The 500ml bowl is the right size for everyday amounts, and the whole thing is small enough to live on the worktop. A brilliant buy for anyone who hates chopping onions.
Typical price: £24.99
ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer
The cheapest way to stop overcooking chicken and ruining Sunday roasts. It reads in a few seconds, the fold-out probe is accurate to a degree, and the backlit display works over a dark barbecue. Once you've cooked steak with one, you won't go back to guessing.
Typical price: £15.99
Little luxuries under £25
Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee Maker
Proper cafetière coffee for less than two bags of fancy beans. The 1-litre Bodum Brazil makes about eight small cups, the borosilicate glass beaker is replaceable, and the mesh filter gives a rich, full-bodied brew with zero paper waste. A classic design that's been earning five-star reviews for decades.
Typical price: £19.99
Joseph Joseph Nest 9 Plus Measuring Set
Nine mixing bowls, measuring cups and a sieve that nest into one neat stack. If your cupboard is a jumble of mismatched bowls, this replaces the lot in a single footprint. The colour-coded cups are genuinely useful for baking, and the non-slip bases keep bowls steady while you whisk.
Typical price: £24.99
