If you've ever used silicone gadgets, you'll understand why it's become such a hot item in the kitchen. Many choose silicone because it is simple to use, has a non-stick material, and is super easy to hand clean (plus, it's dishwasher safe). Furthermore, silicone, unlike glass, can be used (and reused) at almost any temperature and has the capacity to move from sub-zero temperatures to 230 Celsius without damaging. On top of all of that, it does not retain stains or odours. Today, we've decided to share some of our favourite kitchen essentials that we know you'll just love! Press play and enjoy :)

Top 10 Silicone Kitchen Essentials

1. Silicone Lids
It’s time to stop wasting money on plastic wrap or aluminum foil and start using silicone lids! They seal on all smooth rims (round, square, rectangular etc.), create airtight and watertight seals for reheating and storing, and lastly, are oven, microwave, dishwasher and heat safe up to 480-500 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Lekue Leki Steam Case
