Reaching beyond your grasp.

7 Kitchen Hacks & Simple Solutions

No-slip dish towel.

7 Kitchen Hacks & Simple Solutions
The oven door handle is a convenient place to hang dish towels, but a smooth bar offers little traction and the cloths often slip off and fall to the floor. For a simple fix, try this easy trick.
1. Cut a sheet of nonslip shelf liner about 5 inches wide and long enough to wrap around the handle of your oven.
2. Wrap the liner around the oven handle and secure it with double-sided tape; hang the towel over the liner.

Six-pack supply storage.

7 Kitchen Hacks & Simple Solutions
The boxes containing plastic sandwich bags, rolls of aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and the like can use up a lot of drawer space. Solve this problem by storing the boxes upright in the slots of a cardboard six-pack beer bottle or soda container in a cabinet under the counter.

Attach a towel holder to the inside of your kitchen sink.

Transform a drawer into a recycling center.

7 Kitchen Hacks & Simple Solutions
Instead of having bins and bins underneath your sink where you sort and store different things to recycle, try this four-compartment “recycling center”, made of triangle bins. It hides inside of a pull-out drawer just like a trashcan so your recycling won’t generate any visual clutter in your kitchen.
