5. Orb - Dual Mortar and Pestle

This porcelain pestle and mortar provides two receptacles for grinding.   The main bowl can be used for crushing larger amounts of ingredients, while the lid is also curved and can be used to grind finer or less amounts of spices.

The two mortars and the pestle can be aesthetically nested on and within each other.

6. Y-grinder: Salt and Pepper Mill

This mill has two chambers, allowing both salt and pepper (or other spices) to be ground and dispensed from the same unit.

7. 2-in-1 Measuring Jug
This measuring jug eliminates the need for separate measuring spoons, cups and jugs.  The jug has two containers that can be accessed by flipping it over.  The small chamber can measure liquids from as little as a single teaspoon (5ml), while the larger chamber is used for greater volumes.

The only problem is that for liquids with a high viscosity such as honey, the long, narrow chamber will lead to a lot of wastage with the liquid sticking to the side as one pours it in and out.

8. Shell - Digital Weighing Scale

The container for this digital scale can be flipped over and conveniently nested on top of the product body- protecting the machine, maximizing storage space and creating an aesthetic product all in one.

Joseph Joseph Kitchenware (1)

Joseph Joseph specializes in contemporary kitchenware with a design slant.  Their products are both aesthetic and and functional, utilizing elegant design to accomplish incredible results. 

All of their products at their site are worth mentioning.  Here are twelve of their products, split into three posts:

1. Nest - Practical, Space-saving Kitchenware

The Nest™ range comprises of mixing bowls, measuring spoons, a sieve, and a strainer. The individual elements of each set stack together, occupying the absolute minimum amount of storage space. 

2. QuickSnap - Ice Tray

QuickSnap™ fills with water just like a conventional ice tray. When ice is needed, simply twist the tray to loosen the cubes and then push each switch on the reverse, in the direction of the arrow, to release one ice cube at a time – effectively snapping each out of its individual compartment.

3.  Fold Flat - Collapsible Grater

This grater folds completely flat for easy storage when not in use, locking into place.  Gripping the grater when open prevents it from collapsing. 

4. Chop2Pot - Folding Chopping Board
Locked in the flat position, Chop2Pot™ provides a durable, knife-friendly cutting surface. But when the handle is squeezed, the sides of the board fold up, forming a chute down which diced and chopped food can be neatly guided. The Chop2Pot uses polypropylene 'living' hinges to achieve its transformation.

Restless Chopsticks

These chopsticks by Mikiya Kobayashi are cleverly designed so the user does not need a separate chopstick rest. Placing them so the indented portion faces upwards prevents the tip from being in contact with the table. The restless chopsticks come neatly packaged in pairs and are available in black, green, red, white or yellow.

Cutting Board Scale

This concept by Jim Termeer and Jess Giffin is a cutting board that has an integrated scale within a defined area on it's surface. This allows a person to both cut and measure ingredients on the same surface with very little extra effort. Simply put, it precisely reduces the steps of preparation, dishes to clean, and time wasted. 

Optimally, the display would use electronic ink, embedded in the cutting board substrate.  Currently, the technology for the creation of this technology is under development.
