We have a love/hate relationship with IKEA when it comes to kitchen supplies. (Well, and everything else too, I suppose.) On the one hand, you can find some terrific kitchen tools at low prices. On the other hand, we’ve been guilty of buying too much and taking home low-quality things we just never use. So now we usually stick to our tried and tested favorite kitchen tools from IKEA.

But every season we do like to look through the new catalog to see if there are any potential candidates for new classics. Here are a few things we are eyeing; have you seen any of them in person yet?

Because, like I said above, while it’s best to stick to a few classics at IKEA, every now and then a great new product comes along. One I’ve been particularly appreciating lately is that one-size-fits-all-pans double boiler. It’s perfect for dipping candy and cake balls, and for only $5 too.

Here’s a collection of intriguing things from the new spring collection. Have you picked up any of these yet?

FIRST ROW
• 1 DRÖMMAR red baking pan – Like the angular shapes. $6.99

• 2 FÄRGRIK TROLSK plate – Nice pattern; it comes in blue or red. $3.99

• 3 SOCKERÄRT vase/pitcher – Love the retro vintage styling, and multiple sizes. $6.99-$19.99

• 4 FÄRGRIK TROLSK bowl set – Great new turquoise color in this season’s tableware. $2.99/2

• 5 TROLSK melamine serving set – Unusual shapes and nice bright colors. $3.99
