What to Look For When Shopping for a Water Bottle Organizer

When shopping for water bottle organizers and storage solutions, first consider where you’d like to store your water bottles. If you have space available in your pantry or cabinets, you’ll likely want to opt for a water bottle organizer of a very different style than if you need to create space using an over-the-door hanging rack. Think about how many water bottles you need to store and their sizes, then choose an organizer to accommodate your collection. Most organizers are relatively affordable, but it’s still worthwhile to consider the price before purchasing.

We researched and reviewed a broad assortment of water bottle organizers in search of those most efficient and with the smallest footprint.

FAQ

How do you store empty water bottles at home?

How you store empty water bottles at home depends on your available space. If you have cabinet or pantry space, you may want to choose a storage solution or organizer designed for those spaces. If space is limited, opt for an over-the-door option to help maximize storage space.

Should I store water bottles open or closed?

When storing water bottles, it’s important to ensure they are completely dry before storing them to prevent the growth of mold, mildew or other bacteria. Once they are dry, you can store them either open or closed, whichever you prefer.

Does washing water bottles in the dishwasher sterilize them?

If you use your dishwasher’s hottest setting followed by a heated drying cycle, your water bottles will be sterilized at the end of the washing and drying cycle.

The post 5 Best Drink Organizers for Your Fridge appeared first on Taste Recipes.

We all know meal prepping is the best way to plan out your week—at least foodwise. However, finding the right container for all your brilliant meal prep ideas can be tricky. That’s why we found a meal prep cutting board that has everything you need to make those Sunday Scaries less, well, scary.

What is a meal prep cutting board?

You might see the name and think, “How can a cutting board be used to meal prep?” This particular meal prep cutting board is more than a place to chop your fruit, veggies and meat. Its unique design creates a space where you can chop everything on the bamboo top, then push your prepped food into one of three stackable containers underneath.

The three containers each have 1.5 liters of space—a bit over six cups—giving you plenty of room for packing away prepped ingredients. Thanks to the airtight seal on each container, your food will stay fresh in the fridge, and because the containers are stackable, they’re easy to store.

This specialty cutting board has a built-in grater, which is perfect for zesting lemons and shredding cheese. It also has a slot to hold your phone or tablet, so you can reference up meal prep recipes while you prep. (Or place a new order with your favorite meal delivery service if all that prepping leaves you too tired to cook!)

How to Use a Meal Prep Cutting Board

Typically with meal prepping, you have to worry about buying the right sized meal prep containers, along with all the other utensils you need. One of the best things about this meal prep cutting board is that it’s perfect for someone just starting off in their meal prep journey. You’ll already have the space and storage you need to meal prep your week!

You can cut everything from chicken to cucumbers on the bamboo cutting board top. The handles on the side make it easy to hold the board in place or shift around to make the perfect chop.

We also love the cutout where you can push all your food into one of the containers. Instead of lifting your cutting board to dump everything into your plastic or glass containers, you simply move your food across the bamboo board until it drops into place. The “drop zone” also fits the included slicer, garlic mince, julienne and other attachments so you can effortlessly prep nearly any ingredient.

The lid also comes with a handle, which means you can easily tote your prepped meal or ingredients to work or school. All in all, the multi-purpose features of this gadget make it a must-have meal prep product for your kitchen.

The Best Amazon User Reviews

We’re not the only ones who think this functional meal prep cutting board is a great addition to your kitchen! Here’s what 5-star Amazon reviewers have to say.

Verified Amazon user K. Rietmann wrote, “Bought this item for my daughter to give her along with a meal kit membership. It has everything she needs… Excited that it’s an all-in-one solution that will help her stay organized with her limited room.”

Alexa noted the cutting board and meal prep containers together were a big improvement to meal prepping. Alexa wrote, “…makes meal prepping far more efficient and fun! I really like to be able to slide all the waste into one container to be tossed later. The bamboo board also looks great and we leave it out as a permanent kitchen counter item.”

Where to Buy a Meal Prep Cutting Board

You can find the meal prep cutting board on Amazon for $64. While you’re waiting for it to arrive—which shouldn’t be long thanks to Amazon’s speedy shipping—start developing your meal plan.

From Shark Tank to TikTok, Scrub Daddy continues to amaze us with each new product added to the lineup. And speaking of cute kitchen cleaning gear, have you seen this bed-shaped sponge holder?

The post 8 Scrub Daddy Products for the Cutest Cleanup Ever appeared first on Taste Recipes.

Now, there are already a ton of fun kitchen tools on the market. From a holiday Scrub Daddy sponge that rubs away grease to the Angry Mama and Chilly Mama that tackle grimy microwaves and fridges, there are plenty of ways to make cleaning fun. And this little crab spoon holder is a lifesaver for your kitchen countertops.

What is a crab spoon holder?

The cute crab spoon rest is BPA-free and made of food-grade silicone. He perches on either the counter or directly on your pots and pans. But Red’s mighty claws are not there to pinch you. Rather, they’re perfectly positioned to hold your utensil or lift the lid of a pot to release steam.

Plus, it’s made by the brand OTOTO, which is known for its line of cute and quirky kitchen gadgets that make cooking and cleaning easy. We’ve already introduced Gracula the garlic crusher and the bat wine opener to your kitchen, but now it’s time for Red the Crab to shine.

How to Use Red the Crab Spoon Holder

The great thing about this crab spoon rest is that it’s not a tool just for looks. We tried Red the Crab, and he truly keeps your countertops from looking like a saucy or soupy disaster when you set down a cooking utensil. That’s right, no more second-guessing where to place your messy spoon or spatula, and no more wasting paper with a bunch of napkins or paper towels.

This little red crab sits on your pots and pans, allowing your spoon or spatula to suspend in the air. It’ll keep your spoon close for when you need to stir your dish again, but away from surfaces where you don’t want to leave a mess behind. Thanks to the non-slip silicone material, you won’t have to worry about Red the Crab slipping off the edge of your pot, either. He’s much sturdier than he looks, and we were impressed that he could balance utensils big and small.

This little crab is also tough enough to handle any steam your dishes bring. With its adjustable design, Red the Crab holds your spoon, and it can lift the lids of pots and pans to help release any extra steam from your soups and stews.

The Best User Reviews

This helpful little crab made waves on TikTok, but other reviewers are just as happy.

Verified Amazon purchaser Marcia Grau says this gadget is cuteness overload. “Frankly I just like to look at him, but he valiantly holds my wooden spoon up high over the pot. I also put him on the edge of the pot to allow steam to escape. Quality is good, so he would make a nice inexpensive gift for the cook.”

Five-star Amazon reviewer, Robin Hardy, seconds that notion. “Bought this as a gift for a friend that loves to cook and she said it’s absolutely adorable and it really works.”

Taste Recipes Senior Shopping Editor, Katie Bandurski, is also a fan. “Anyone who knows me knows that I love animals,” she shares. “Red the Crab adds a whimsical touch to my kitchen while being incredibly practical. I love that he firmly grips utensils of any size and is so easy to wash.”

Where to Buy Red the Crab Spoon Holder

You can find Red the Crab on Amazon for around $23. While you’re waiting for Red to arrive, start planning all the saucy, messy recipes you’re going to make. Crab soup, anyone?

The post 31 Best Christmas Gifts Under $25 appeared first on Taste Recipes.

What are Christmas Scrub Daddy sponges?

Scrub Daddy began when the inventor, Aaron Krause, was running an international manufacturing company. While working there, he wanted to invent a better way to clean his hands, which led to the creation of a highly engineered polymer foam. From that foam came Scrub Daddy sponges, which clean dozens of surfaces with a smile. (There’s a reason it’s one of our favorite products under $30!)

If you’ve never used one before, Scrub Daddy sponges are temperature controlled. They become firm in cold water for tough scrubbing tasks and soften in warm water for light cleaning. They’re also scratch-free, which means they’re safe to use on glass, stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick coatings.

Ahead of the holidays, Scrub Daddy combined their famous cleaning prowess with three fun styles to get you in the Christmas spirit. Scrub Daddy winter shapes trade in the signature smiley for a cool green Christmas tree, dazzling blue snowflake and adorable white reindeer. Talk about cute Christmas kitchen decor! All three shapes have smiling faces and are dishwasher-safe.

How to Use Christmas Scrub Daddy Sponges

The smiley face isn’t just for a cute aesthetic. Scrub Daddy is designed to give you an ergonomic grip with just two fingers, so you can even get into the deep recesses of your mugs after enjoying hot chocolate or eggnog.

Thanks to the polymer sponge responding to temperature, you can designate each Scrub Daddy winter shape for a different surface. Choose the white reindeer for dishes and glasses for a light clean with warm water. The green Christmas tree can scrub away tough stains on pots and pans with cold water. The blue snowflake could be used for both, or to provide a scratch-free deep clean to your most delicate sterling silverware.

And as much as we all love the smell of Christmas dinner, it can get a bit too smelly after sitting in the sink for a few hours. Thankfully, Scrub Daddy’s fast drying time prevents odors, and these sponges stay fresh for up to eight weeks. When it is time to clean, simply toss in the dishwasher to disinfect and start fresh.
