7 Kitchen Time Savers

1.Pot Filler: This ingenious device is actually a cold water tap installed in the backsplash. The purpose is to get water into large pots which cannot be adequately filled in a regular-sized sink. Putting in a deep sink is expensive and requires countertop and cabinet changes. A pot filler takes a plumber maybe 2 hours to install depending on the location of the water source.

2.Undersink Cabinet Tray: Placed under the sink plumbing this tray holds water and protects the cabinets and floor below if there is a plumbing malfunction.

3.Self-Closing Drawers: When you slam a drawer the self-closing apparatus only lets it goes so far before a dampening system pulls it closed. There is no noise and no chipping of the drawer faces.

4. Under-Cabinet Drawers: Once popular in the 1970's these conveniences are coming back to hold spices and other utensils for quick use.

5. Full Extension Drawers: Pots are not longer stacked and shoved back into the lower cabinets. The kitchenware cabinet is being replaced with full-extension drawers which means that every pot has its place and can be accessed easily.

6. Corner Cabinet Accessories: For those hard-to-reach, lower corner areas a new version of the Lazy Susan is bringing cereal boxes and flour to the the light of day making a pantry out of space that used to be inaccessible.

7. Cabinet Lighting: LED lighting in the lower cabinets makes searching for items easier. They operate when the door is opened and shut off when the door closes.
