DFYAN Korean Grill Pan Kit (11D in)

This is  a totally-flat small grill that can be used directly on the stove (electrical in my case) or on an open fire. I have still to try it on a barbecue or portable campfire, but my experience with my kitchen stove is good. On the stove, it heats up quickly, and a few drops of oil are more than enough to do a couple of burgers, or three or four skewers. Said differently, this allows cooking for one or two people maximum. Personally, I wouldn't  put anything liquid in it.
 
The pan comes with a set of complimentary barbecue tools (wood handles, spatula, thongs and two silicone holders). It has an acrylic sleeve that can be used as carry and protective bag as well.  
 
TO IMPROVE 
> The wood handles are  a necessity for this pan, but they are too loose and come off easily. 
> I would rather have one good tool than 3 bad ones.  
 
MIND
Compatible with gas and electric stoves, open fire, and barbecues.

RISATORP Basket with Compartments (White, 33x24x23 cm)

Another stunner in the Risatorp basket world. This is a large basket with an inner bamboo divider and handle. It's made of the same materials as the other baskets in the line in the wonderful  Skandy style that I love. 
 
This basket is quite heavy, but it can be easy transported by the handle. The divider is great to keep different things separate. Like other Risatorp baskets I own, it's versatile. I've used it as bathroom toiletries container; one side for hair products, the other for cosmetics. I've used it as art desk organiser; I kept it on the floor with some basic painting tools and a water bottle. I've also used it to store socks and stockings, one on each compartment. Ditto for my workdays bras & panties, to have them at hand when I dress for work in the morning. I think this is perfect for a picnic or to carry small items of food and drinks to a foodie get-together. 

The inner wooden pieces have to be assembled. I found the positioning and screwing of them easy if you 'plug' the two wooden pieces to the handle bar before you position it inside.
