Shaped like a circular saw, the pizza wheel is built from tough, engineering-grade plastics with a laser-etched stainless-steel blade and has a removable shield for easy clean up, all while being dishwasher safe as well.

No matter if you have a galley-style kitchen or an expansive professional one, something every chef or baker of every level is looking for is more storage in the kitchen. Typically, this would involve adding more cabinetry, shelves, containers, or other items that can easily take up precious square footage and aren't always ideal solutions. However, we think we found a genius project to help you create near invisible storage with what you already have under your cabinets.
The idea is simple -- most standard built-in cabinet systems actually sit on a riser of sorts, leaving a good three- to four-inch average gap of unused space under the interior shelves. This project from The Family Handyman helps to actually utilize that space for narrow storage items -- think cutting boards, cookie and muffin pans, or even things such as storage bags, reusable grocery bags, and kitchen linens.
