Butterfly Premium Vegetable Chopper
So, what is the first thing that bothers one when the maid is on leave? Mounds of vegetable chopping.

Another essential staple, an electric kettle is your go-to apparatus for making those quick cups of green tea or coffee, especially when you feel lazy to get up and heat that pot of water on the gas in the morning.

And this particular design by Pigeon is one of the best since it offers cordless pouring as well as a highly ergonomic design utility-wise.
