Every kitchen has The Drawer: a graveyard of single-purpose gadgets used exactly once. Avocado slicers. Strawberry hullers. That thing that only cuts bananas. Before we add anything kitchen-related to our catalog, it has to pass one test — would you still use it in month three?
Multi-purpose tools pass most often. A 3-in-1 tap adapter changes how the faucet works every single day; that's a keeper. Same logic for an air cooler that also purifies and humidifies — three seasonal problems, one plug socket.
The pattern to shop by: count the number of different problems the item solves, then divide the price by weekly uses. A €29 gadget you use daily costs pennies per use by summer. A €15 unitasker used twice cost you €7.50 per banana.
That math is roughly the whole editorial policy behind our home section. If it wouldn't survive The Drawer test in our own kitchens, it doesn't get listed.
