There are few issues as irritating as a slippery cling film roll. You know the ones, when the whole thing seems to be covered in a film of grease, and there appear to be at least 8 different potential openings for you to tear from, except they're all false openings, leading to fragmented scraps of plastic film crumpling in your hands, completely useless, and, more importantly, utterly infuriating,
It's an essentially universal problem, and yet there seems to be no clear cure for it. Clever kitchen storage ideas for foil and cling film seem to be surprisingly hard to come by, despite the fact that demand is clearly there.
So when I stumbled across the Kesper Drawer Foil Dispenser from Amazon, I was instantly sold. And if that wasn't enough for you, it's only £25 on Amazon.
This clever design is at the top of our organized kitchen Amazon buys, just pop it into your drawers for an immediate upgrade to your current storage situation.
While most of the foil dispensers on the market are, to put it lightly, pretty ugly, this one feels chic, sleek, and surprisingly in line with popular kitchen aesthetics at the moment. There are a few things I love more than mixing chrome with wood, so this combination of stainless steel and bamboo was an easy winner in my books.
Fit with three different foil/ cling film compartments, two of which have stainless steel lids to keep their content hidden, as well as an extra compartment for closing clips, this organizer has space for everything you may need when it comes to storing food.
The Alternatives
This dual dispenser comes in three different color ways, but I'd pick the natural bamboo one, with its nice, warm tone and sturdy design. Plus, labels and anti-slip pads make this one of the most functional options available.
Another cool wood and chrome decor option, this one is slightly smaller than the other, making it better for small kitchens with limited storage.
No drawer space? This hanging dispenser could be the perfect solution for your no-pantry kitchen. Not only does it have space for both foil and cling film, but it also has an extra compartment for your kitchen roll, too.
If all that natural wood and stainless steel isn't for you, this racing car red version may be more your speed. Its magnetic adhesion system ensures the easiest installation, and the ultra-accurate means you'll get the perfect cut, every time.
Taking things back to basics, this bamboo dispenser does exactly what it needs to, while still looking relatively stylish. It has space for both foil and cling film, and can be used either within a drawer or mounted on the back of a door if you are short on kitchen cabinet space.
Joseph Joseph is the go-to source for super functional, innovative kitchen designs, and this smart storage space is no different. Although it's not a dispenser, this is the perfect addition to any storage-short kitchen. Designed to hang beneath a shelf, it offers an organized way to store your rolls and boxes.
