Your favorite IKEA kitchen items?

16 years ago

Going to make a pilgrimage to IKEA on Friday-it's only my second time in the store. What are some of your favorite kitchen items? Knives, kitchen textiles or gadgets-name them all. It would be a lot of fun to pick some up and try them out!

Thanks!

    I really like my citrus zester. A friend swears by their pots. Also, they have very nice glass storage jars. And well priced kitchen towels.

    Oh, how I wish I was making a pilgrimage! Have fun!

    I have/love the: Stil Paella Pan, Ordning Food Scale, Idealisk colander, stainless steel shelving (ekby mossby?), and the Grundtal hanging rail system.

    i have other small miscellaneous kitchen items, all which are good - *great* for the price.

    Grundtal shelf and 'S' hooks - they're perfect to hang a bunch of bananas from!
    Rationell clear acrylic boxes - perfectly sized for wall cabinets. The acrylic trays fit nicely under my lazy susan and hold foil, plastic and so on.
    Metal baskets from the other hanging rails system - can't remember the name. I have one on the wall for unpaid bills. The small one is fixed inside the sink cabinet door for sponges and stuff.
    Have fun!

    It's really a minor item, but I LOVE the Ikea spice mill. I use it as a pepper mill. I can't believe that I've spent so much money in the past on expensive pepper mills, and this Ikea $6.99 mill beats them all. It grinds great, using ceramic grinders which foodies will say are superior. The glass allows you to see how much is left. It holds a lot so you don't have to keep refilling. The glass jar wipes off easily, can be sanitized if you've gotten chicken on it or something, and goes in the DW. There is an additional set of Ikea glass spice jars so you can easily swap other spices you may need to grind. And, when just sitting on the counter or table, and not in use, the grinder is on the top, so no more pepper crumbs all over the place. You turn it over to grind over your food. It's the "Ikea 365+ Spice Mill". The accessory set of 4 swappable spice jars is $4.99.

    While it's not gorgeous like my Peugeot Chateauneuf mills ($75 each!), frankly, the Chateauneuf sits gathering dust in my cabinet, and I just bring it out a couple of times a year for special dinners. The Ikea mill is used constantly.

    I always pick up their potholder two-packs that are around 99 cents. I have several of their Rationell Variera shelves in my cabinets, and they run around 5.99. I like the way they look with my dishes stacked on them, and they are stackable as well.

    I also like their glasses. Their large glasses are 69 cents, so I like to pick up a few of those. I also like their stackable juice glasses. Perfect size for juice.

    Hmmm, I think a trip to IKEA is in order!
