A Lazy Susan that doesn't require counter space
GetEm Innovations Hanging Lazy Susan, $29.95, Available at Amazon
Instead of finding a large container to store all your kitchen utensils, you might want to opt for this hanging Lazy Susan instead. It can hold anything from small measuring cups and spoons to larger tools like spatulas and ladles. It needs to be drilled in with screws, so if you're renting, you may want to avoid this one — but we suspect it'd be possible to hang it with Command Strips instead for damage-free installation.
