You could probably get along fine in the kitchen without some of the kitchen utensils and accessories in the IDEALISK series. But just think how much easier and more fun it would be to prepare food if you had them. Especially if you use a little imagination. For example, you can use the tea infuser as a spice infuser when you're making soup or a juicy meat stew. You can even use it as a mould for meatballs! Everything in the IDEALISK series is made of stainless steel, which is long lasting and easy to combine with other things in your kitchen.

Trends travel fast today. In the world of coffee and tea, we pick up interesting habits and quirky behaviours in the blink of an eye.

Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.
