4. Silicone Strainer
This flexible strainer bends and squishes to fit into just about any sized pot, even with the lid on! It also has a large empty base, so you can fill the bottom of your pot to steam your veggies instead of boiling. Then just use the handles to pull them directly out of the pot and right onto your dinner plates. Read the reviews and check it out here on Amazon.
5. Hot Handle Holders
If you own a cast iron skillet, it’s a good possibility that you’ve gotten scorched a few times. Not only are they heavy, but they’re hot! These silicone hot handle holders can be placed on while you’re cooking (heat resistant), protect your hands while you lift and carry the pan, and then be easily cleaned in the dishwasher or sink.
6. Silicone Wine Glasses
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Pool party!! Because these “glasses” are unbreakable, you don’t have to worry about entertaining by the pool or even taking them on a picnic or to the beach. They fold up almost flat so they can easily fit into a beach bag (or purse! hehe). Even if you’re not much of a wine drinker, these silicone wine glasses can also be used for cocktails, ice tea, raspberry lemonade or water.
7. Slap-On Drink Markers
What a fun way to distinguish your drink glass! These are great for parties, but even on a night at home with my husband we get confused with who’s glass is who’s — until you see the shiny rim of lip gloss that coats my glass. :) Because these drink markers are made of silicone, they just stick to the glass without leaving behind any sticky residue. Easy on, easy off!
8. Beer Savers
It’s not often that my beer needs to be saved, but I like this concept for the larger craft bottles, otherwise I feel forced to chug them all at once. I’m not saying that I do that a lot, I just like to drink a beer when it’s still at its ideal carbonation. Check out them out here on Amazon.
9. Collapsible Bucket
You can store this bucket practically anywhere (even pack it in your suitcase for a beach vacation), and it adjusts to 4 variable heights. I think this bucket is perfect for a boat where storage space is limited. It would also be nice for a small apartment or home where you don’t necessarily have unlimited garage space. Read the reviews and pick one up here.
10. Flexible Food Pod
Although pretty handy, this food pod is just goofy enough to also be the conversation piece of your kitchen. Just leave it out on the counter for your guests to ponder over. Aside from being just plain cool looking, it also makes it easy to boil eggs, veggies, potatoes, and large pasta. What else could you put in there?
11. Silicone Travel Bottles
If you travel often, you may know that those cheap travel bottles you get from Walmart or Target don’t hold up for too long. I’m usually too grossed out to reuse them for the next trip anyway, so they just end up in the trash. I love the idea of these silicone bottles because they are easy to clean, easy to identify with the varying colors, and even have a suction cup so they stick to the side of a shower!
12. Almost Everything Opener
This little silicone duckling flexes to help easily open a jar of any size, as well as bottle caps and stuck on corks. Even the kids could use this to open the jar of jelly.
13. Ice Stick Trays
These flexible trays allow the ice to pop out much easier, and because of their long shape, you can easily fit them into a water bottle. No more leaving half full bottles of warm water laying around!
14. Collapsible Pet Bowls
If you like to take your dog camping, traveling, or out for long walks, these silicone bowls easily collapse and hook onto your leash, or even fit into a pocket, purse or bag. Leave one in the car so you always have one on-the-go!
15. The Spill Stopper
It works just like a lid, only it has a major bonus: you can just set your pot to boil and then walk away without having to worry about it spilling over. Perfect for spaghetti night! This spill stopper is available in 4 different sizes and 3 varying colors.
16. Moodies
Change your mood! Seriously. These silicone light bulb covers are easy to slip onto any CFL/LED lightbulb, and then can be just as easily switched as the mood strikes. The nice folks from Moodies sent me a rainbow of colors to sample, and I have to say, they’re pretty cool! My teenage son has taken them over in his room. Red seems to be the favorite so far, with blue coming in as a close second.
17. Flex-It Measuring Cups
I have this silicone measuring set and use it all the time! You can basically use it as a mixing bowl, and then squeeze and poor your batter into muffin liners or directly onto a hot pan for pancakes. They are also heat resistant enough for the microwave and dishwasher. The measuring lines are just a bonus!
18. Oven Rack Guards
These nifty silicone guards are easy to install and help prevent burns on the fore-arm and hands. I was just thinking this would be good for the kids at home who are learning to cook and bake. It would certainly make me feel better about my daughter reaching in and out of the oven!
19. Silicone Baking Cups
I have these silicone baking cups in the round and square version, and use them just about every day for my daughter’s school lunch. They are the perfect little separators for cheese, lunch meat, crackers, nuts, fruit, etc. You could also use them as snack cups for little fingers, or to bake cupcakes, of course!
20. Ice Pop Molds
Fill and freeze! I love this idea for the little ones. You could fill them with yogurt, pudding, apple sauce or juice! Apparently they’re really flexible and easy for small hands to push the frozen contents out, too. Pick them up here on Amazon.
21. Silicone Sandwich Pouch
I couldn’t tell you how many sandwich bags I go through, but with kids, it’s a lot more than I’d like. These little pouches are here to take their place — perfect for sandwiches or snacks in their school lunch box or on-the-go.
22. Silicone Stretch Lids
These handy silicone stretch lids will fit any 3-10″ container, and even work nicely to cover fruit ends like melons. You might as well donate your cling wrap because these brilliant lids are dishwasher safe and can be used over and over again!
