"My parents are both over 60, and over the years, they've accumulated many items that are ready for retirement - especially in the kitchen. As empty nesters, they eat out more and many of their kitchen gadgets haven't been used in years. For this list, I consulted them to figure out what they would actually feel good about getting rid of."
"You know those impulse buys and one-trick ponies that clutter drawers and counters? I'm talking avocado slicers, strawberry hullers, single-purpose herb choppers, mini popcorn makers, and novelty egg shapers. They take up valuable drawer space for people of every age, and perform tasks that a good, sharp chef's knife or a simple peeler can handle just as easily (and more efficiently). If you're simplifying your space, you'll appreciate having fewer items to hunt for and clean."
Empty-nesters often eat out more and can let go of unused kitchen items to simplify life and reclaim space. Trendy single-use gadgets such as avocado slicers, strawberry hullers, single-purpose herb choppers, mini popcorn makers, and novelty egg shapers perform tasks that a sharp chef's knife or simple peeler can handle more efficiently. Stained or fraying kitchen linens can be repurposed for household cleaning or retired if past their prime. Mismatched food storage containers can be donated or repurposed, and lids can serve as spoon rests or organizers. Untouched multi-cookers that sit unused for years are good candidates for donation.
