Every decade brings innovations that make life easier, cutting down the time and …………effort required to complete our daily chores and tasks. You won’t find any argument here for holding on to old tools in favor of newer, better-working — and often time-saving — household gadgets. However, in some cases, newer isn’t always better. On…
Cake Breaker
Why haphazardly cut into a perfectly baked and iced cake that took hours to complete, when you could instead reach for a cake breaker? These oversized, comblike tools were first patented in 1932 but remain useful today, helping to break light and delicate cakes (such as angel food cake) into slices, without smashing them or creating a crumbly mess.
Potato Ricer

Carpet beaters began to fall out of fashion in the 1950s thanks to the popularity of vacuums, though using one today can help your rugs get their best cleaning yet.

The mirror cabinet isn’t just about adding storage. It also plays a key role in enhancing the perceived space of your bathroom through reflection.
