No more searching for that one missing measuring spoon; this magnetic set stays together in a drawer. $8 at Amazon.com.

Perfect for tea for one: Scoop up tea with the wide end of this infuser; then set the narrow end into a mug of hot water. $9 at BroadwayPanhandler.com.

These silicone measuring cups are flexible; just push the cups out to remove sticky or packed ingredients, like brown sugar. $18 at LaPrimaShops.com.

Breakfast in bed? Try these clever egg cups—the top holds one egg, while a second stays warm hidden in the base. $7.50 for two at SurLaTable.com.

For Asian food novices, beginner chopsticks make eating easier and more fun. $3 at Pfaltzgraff.com.

Cuisipro’s Accutec rasps come with a cover that’ll catch and save the zest you grate. From $12 at Amazon.com.

Seafood lovers will appreciate these lobster crackers, which slide on a hinge to widen for large claws. $25 at ChefCentral.com.
