Dexas’ 10-inch, 2.4-quart Pop Colander gets the job done when it’s working but flattens out for storage – especially helpful for cramped kitchens. The flexible silicone liner is collapsible, and the legs snap open and fold flat; it’s dishwasher-safe. It comes in red or blue and costs $30 at Sur La Table stores and by mail (surlatable.com or 800-243-0852).

Pining for a pin

Sil-Pin’s rolling pin won our equipment test last year, so we were happy to see the company’s new baker’s pin, boasting the same heft and non-stick silicone surface but without handles – particularly useful when rolling circles of dough for pies and tarts. It’s 20 inches long and comes in many cheerful colors; $26-$33 by mail (zabars.com or 800-697-6301).

Juicy goals

The Juicester from Chef’n has two reamers to handle large and small fruit with equal adeptness. The double strainer eliminates pulp, but the upper lid is removable if you want some. An anti-skid base is helpful, too. It measures ¼ to 1 cup, ounces, tablespoons and teaspoons. It’s $15 at Crate & Barrel (white only); Sur La Table (orange only), and by mail (chefsresource.com or 866-765-2433, both colors).
