I like almost everything OXO makes. This OXO Good Grips Silicone Sink Strainer ([amazon_link asins='B000U0K5PU' template='PriceLink' store='boingboing' marketplace='US' link_id='d90e7004-c8f0-4fdc-8075-ed133b8ad799'] on Amazon) was a welcome replacement for the wire mesh one we had, because some of the wires had broken. Those little protruding wires hurt when they poke your finger. The OXO strainer is made of soft silicone and that won't hurt you. To clean the collect food debris, just pop the cup inside out in the trash. One reviewer on Amazon said it is still in good condition after four years of use. I've had mine since 2016 and it is working perfectly.

I've had this inexpensive chef's knife for 5 years and it's my favorite
Five years ago I bought this inexpensive 8-inch Winco chef's knife. I'm still using it today, and it's my favorite kitchen knife. I like the heaviness of it, and it sharpens quickly and holds an edge for a long time. READ THE REST
This minimalist light packs a maximalist punch
A beautiful light can really tie together a room or even a car for that matter. And while there are some really not-so-subtle ones that can drum up conversation, you're much better off having a more subdued-looking light that lets its color do the speaking. Unfortunately, there's no shortage of tacky and attention-grabbing pieces of furniture out there,… READ THE REST
