MAIN PURPOSE: Deseed a pomegranate without the mess

Rest the tray across a mixing bowl, put half a pomegranate cut side down on the grid and beat the skin with a wooden spoon: the seeds drop through the openings into the bowl, the pith stays on the grid and the 60 mm walls catch the red splashes.

Grip Chevron

MAIN PURPOSE: Wedge and twist open tight jars

Screw the plate under a wall cupboard or shelf with the V facing out: push a stubborn jar lid up into the toothed V until it wedges, then turn the jar with both hands. The narrowing jaw grips lids from 20 to 100 mm, so anyone with weak or sore hands can open jars without a gadget in the drawer.

Towel Shackle

MAIN PURPOSE: Keep a tea towel on the oven door

Snap the ring over the oven door bar and push a corner of the tea towel up through the slit into the round eye: the towel hangs where you need it, cannot slide off the bar onto the floor, and pulls free with one tug.

Weekday Collar

MAIN PURPOSE: Mark the day a jar was opened

Snap the split ring round the neck of a jar of pesto, sauce or baby food the day you open it, turned so that day sits over the label. Days later anyone opening the fridge can read when it was opened, with no pen, no sticky label and no sniff test. Rinse and reuse it on the next jar.

Ripen Rail

MAIN PURPOSE: Ripen fruit in order and eat it in time

Fruit that ripens on the counter moves one bay to the right as it softens: unripe avocados, pears and peaches go in HARD, move to SOON when they give a little, and RIPE is what gets eaten today. Nothing is forgotten at the bottom of a fruit bowl, and the perforated floor lets air underneath.

Scrap Gutter

MAIN PURPOSE: Sweep peelings off the board into a bin

Stand it against the side of the chopping board with the low back wall touching the board: peelings and trimmings sweep straight off the board over the scooped 22 mm lip and into the gutter, and the tall front keeps them in. Empty it into the compost in one tip.

Homecoming

MAIN PURPOSE: Show who is home by where the keys are

One named bay per person by the front door: whoever comes in drops their keys into their own bay, and anyone passing can see at a glance who is home and who is still out. The low front wall shows the keys; change the four engraved names in the editor.

Exit Pocket

MAIN PURPOSE: Remember what to take when you leave

A pocket that hangs on the inside handle of the front door: slip the big hole in the back plate over the lever and drop in whatever must leave the house tomorrow, the letter to post, the parcel return label, the library card, the folded tote bag. You cannot open the door without touching it, so nothing is forgotten.

Bulb Reach

MAIN PURPOSE: Change spotlights and test alarms from the floor

Push it onto a broom or mop handle and reach ceiling lights without a ladder: the ribbed cup grips a GU10 or MR16 spotlight to twist it in or out, and the small hub in the middle presses the test button of a smoke alarm. The socket takes handles up to 24 mm. Print it as shown, then turn it over so the floor becomes the top.

Catalogue Pull

MAIN PURPOSE: Pull and label a drawer in one fitting

A library-card-catalogue cup pull with the label built in: the closed front carries an engraved word such as SPICES, fingers hook into the open underside, and it bolts on from inside the drawer with two M4 bolts whose nuts you tighten through the opening. Turns plain flat-pack drawers into a labelled cabinet.
