How to elevate your kitchen with Monkeybusiness's gadgets

When did cooking stop feeling fun? In the next few minutes, you will see how a handful of playful, practical Monkeybusiness kitchen gadgets can help you save time, cut clutter, and bring back that spark of joy. You will also get easy ways to use them right away, plus a quick guide to the tools you will love most.

You want a kitchen that works as hard as you do without looking cold or clinical. That is exactly where Monkeybusiness shines. The brand takes everyday problems, then solves them with personality and purpose. Think counter-savers that stop drips, strainers that catch scraps, and tools that make every stir, squeeze, and serve a little more delightful.

Picture this true-to-life moment. You forgot croutons for tonight's salad. Grab Karoto, curl a carrot into ribbons, drizzle olive oil and lemon, and sprinkle with salt. In one minute you created a fresh, crunchy topper that tastes better than anything in a box. That is presentation power without extra effort, and it is the kind of small win you will start to expect from Monkeybusiness kitchen gadgets.

Your time is precious. The average American spends about 37 minutes per day on food prep and cleanup. That is a lot of minutes to gain back with smarter tools, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Food waste also adds up. The USDA estimates 30 to 40 percent of the food supply is wasted, much of it from home kitchens. See the USDA food waste FAQ. Even your sink matters. Fats, oils, and grease contribute to a large share of sewer overflows, the EPA notes, which makes catching scraps and keeping drains clear a smart move. Learn more from the EPA fats, oils, and grease page.

This guide shows you how to elevate your kitchen with Monkeybusiness's most loved tools. You will find the why behind playful design, the must-have gadgets to start with, and simple ways to use them every week. Ready to browse the full lineup now?

Why playful tools belong in your kitchen

Let's be honest. When cooking feels like a chore, you do less of it. Playful design flips that script. A spoon saver shaped like a friendly helper or a pasta-style steam releaser can nudge you to cook more often and enjoy it more.

There is zero trade-off here. Monkeybusiness designs pair whimsy with real utility. The form starts a conversation. The function keeps the tool in rotation. That is how you build a kitchen you actually use, not just one you admire from across the room.

It also brings people together. Kids lean in when tools look fun. Dinner guests smile when they spot a sharkfin peeking from your drain. You get everyday items that multitask, organize, and set a playful tone without adding effort.

Five Monkeybusiness kitchen gadgets that do more

1. Sinkfin - sharkfin drain strainer

Your sink should catch scraps, not attention for the wrong reason. Slip in the silicone Sinkfin and it becomes a tiny conversation piece while it traps food bits and helps keep pipes clearer. The fin rises as water flows, so cleanup gets a splash of humor along with real utility. It fits most sinks and rinses clean in seconds.

2. Karoto veggie peeler and curler

If you have ever wished carrots could curl like ribbon, Karoto makes it happen. It looks like a giant pencil sharpener. Feed in a carrot, zucchini, or cucumber, then twist to create curls or thin shavings for salads, garnishes, and slaws. You get chef-level presentation without a bulky machine. One minute, one tool, instant upgrade.

3. Hug Doug spoon saver and steam releaser

Meet your no-drip ally. Hug Doug grips your spoon on the rim of the pot, so no more messy counters or vanishing utensils. It also props the lid just enough to release steam, which helps prevent boil-overs and keeps your stove cleaner. Toss it in the dishwasher when you are done.

4. Bowlero terracotta bowls

These stackable terracotta bowls are MVPs at parties and weeknights alike. Serve dips, chips, or fruit salad, then stack them to save space. The warm color and hand-feel make even snacks look styled. They go from family tacos to weekend grazing boards without missing a beat.

5. Juice Bruce wooden citrus reamer

Part art piece, part muscle. Juice Bruce fits in your palm and powers through lemons and limes for dressings, marinades, and mocktails. The wooden finish looks great on the counter. The compact shape keeps prep quick. You will reach for it more than you expect, because it is that easy.

bonus: pasta passion picks

Lean into the signature pasta theme that Monkeybusiness fans love. Think Farfalloni pot grips that protect hands, a Ravioli spoon rest that keeps counters pristine, or a Rotelle trivet that guards your table from hot pots. Browse the full set inside the Pasta Passion collection and curate a playful, cohesive look.

Care and cleanup made easy

Here is the deal. A gadget is only great if it is easy to clean. Most Monkeybusiness essentials, from Hug Doug to pasta-shaped pot grips and lid lifters, go straight into the dishwasher. Silicone and wood components are made for real-life messes and quick resets.

That simplicity pays off. Less scrubbing means you get back minutes every day. Remember, you already spend a chunk of your day on prep and cleanup. The BLS time-use data is your reminder to choose tools that work with you, not against you.

Smart ways to use your gadgets every week

Speed up meal prep. Use Karoto to top ramen with cucumber curls or finish roasted salmon with carrot ribbons and dill. Quick garnish, big payoff.

Stop the spill. When pasta water foams, Hug Doug props the lid and lets steam out. That small gap helps prevent boil-overs and saves you a scrub session.

Make serving easy. Bowlero bowls handle guacamole, salsa, and chips for game night, then store neatly. They are also perfect for yogurt toppers, candy bars, and even keys by the door when the party is over.

Protect your sink and pipes. Sinkfin catches onion bits, lemon seeds, and spoon slips. Empty it into compost or trash, then rinse. Pair it with a no-grease rule for the drain to help avoid clogs. The EPA has tips on keeping fats, oils, and grease out of your pipes.

Freshen the fridge. If odors creep in, add a friendly deodorizer from the kitchen collection, like Fill Phil or Chill Bill. They use baking soda inside a fun character, so your fridge smells neutral and looks cheerful every time you open the door.

Gift ideas and bundles that delight

Shopping for a host, a new homeowner, or your favorite foodie? Pick two to three coordinating pieces. For example, pair Juice Bruce with a Conchiglie lemon squeezer and Bowlero bowls for a bright citrus-and-dip set. Or bundle the Farfalloni pot grips, Ravioli spoon rest, and a Rotelle trivet for a kitchen glow-up that guests will notice.

Looking for a little extra flair at the bar cart too? The collection includes witty wine stoppers shaped like winter hats, sombreros, and derby hats. These make easy add-ons that fit any celebration mood. Start assembling your set inside the full Monkeybusiness kitchen collection.
