I have a pretty tiny kitchen. It sits in the corner of our apartment and can only fit two people at a time: one cooking by the stove and the other washing dishes in the sink.

To say our kitchen is cozy is an understatement and we’re often left playing complex games of Tetris with our containers, cookware, and tools in hopes of fitting them all. More often than not, we end up with an unorganized mess and hope we can find whatever’s necessary to cook or clean.

Fridge, cabinet, and drawer space is a precious commodity when you live in a small apartment, which is a payoff many accept for living in an expensive city or college town; still, all hope is not lost when it comes to maximizing your space. Collapsible kitchen tools are a small homeowner’s secret weapons, and using the ones below will create more space out of thin air.

Check out the 15 collapsible kitchen tools below. 

A funnel

Amazon

The unconventional shape of a funnel usually means it’s pretty difficult to store, but this silicone one folds flat and has a hole so you can hang it up. 

Zoie + Chloe Space Saving Silicone Foldable Collapsible Kitchen Funnel, $ 5.99, available at Amazon

Measuring cups

Amazon

These measuring cups collapse to one-third of their original height. This collapsing ability also makes cleaning sticky ingredients like peanut butter easier since you can pop them out in the opposite direction. 

Prepworks by Progressive Collapsible Measuring Cups (Set of 5), $ 11.50, available at Amazon

A colander

Amazon

When collapsed, these colanders are less than two inches tall.

Comfify Colander Set (Set of 2), $ 11.89, available at Amazon
