Kitchen & Dining

Kitchen & Dining covers the hand tools and small fittings that make daily cooking quicker, rather than the appliances that do the cooking. Most of the range is stainless steel or silicone: knife and chopstick racks, salt and pepper grinders, masala grinders, potato chippers, egg crackers, oil brush bottles and roti baking mats, alongside sink fittings such as splash guards, self draining soap holders, drain cleaning wires and faucet extenders.

A few powered items sit here too, including an electric kettle and an automatic fruit peeler, but the bulk of the category is things you pick up rather than plug in. That is worth knowing when comparing: a manual grinder needs no counter socket and no cleaning of a motor housing, while a powered peeler earns its place only if you prepare fruit in volume.

Sink and counter fittings are the part most people underestimate. A splash guard and a self draining holder deal with the water that collects around a sink, and a faucet extender changes where the stream lands rather than how much water comes out, which matters in a shallow basin. Prices run from about Rs. 75 for the smallest tools to a few thousand for the powered pieces.
