At first glance, they may look whimsical. But these new kitchen accessories just launched by Mocha are also very practical.

Who hasn’t struggled to separate an egg yolk from the white while juggling with two egg shell halves (and more often than not dropping it in the process)? Or tried to find a sturdy cutlery drainer which doesn’t collect a pool of murky water at the bottom?

These useful products solve those very issues. And in addition, they have been designed with an element of humour, so that they raise a smile too.

YolkFish Egg Separator makes it quick and easy to separate egg whites from yolks – without the mess.

To use, just crack an egg into a bowl, and squeeze the fish, bringing it’s lips to the yolk. Then release, and YolkFish will swallow the yolk. Then just squeeze again to release it.

Jumbo Cutlery Drainer is the possibly the cutest way to dry cutlery.
Designed to look like an elephant, place him next to the sink with his trunk hanging over the edge. When you wash your cutlery, he’ll collect the run-off water. The water will then drip through his trunk straight back into the sink.

Jumbo can also be used in the bathroom as a toothbrush holder.

Arthur Egg Cup and Spoon is a knight egg holder in shining armour.

This quirky egg holder will guard your boiled egg. He comes with a protective helmet which you can take off when it’s time to eat. And he’ll stand to attention as he holds your spoon in his right hand.

Mocha has just launched several new functional kitchen accessories with a creative twist. They are all clever reinterpretations of kitchen essentials. And are also ideal for compact spaces.

Himalaya Spice Jars are a set of four spice containers designed to look like snow covered mountains.

They fit most standard spice racks or can be displayed on a kitchen worktop. Apart from providing useful storage for herbs and spices, they also make striking decor accessories.

The glass spice jars come as a set of four, in two different sizes. And the snow covered lids can be removed easily to refill the containers.

Compact Dish Drainer is ideal for small kitchens or for drying extra dishes.

The innovative design means that it can be folded flat to store in a kitchen drawer when not in use.

Measuring Cube is a measuring jug with a built-in detachable measuring spoon on its base.

A fresh reinterpretation of the traditional measuring jug, it is designed with a special spout that can be poured from all four corners of the cube. It also features different measurement units on each of its sides.

Karoto Sharpener and Peeler, which was launched earlier this autumn, has emerged as a Christmas best seller. It is proving to be one of the most popular Christmas gifts  on the Mocha website this year.

Looking like over-sized version of the classic pencil sharpener, this humorous kitchen gadget is also highly functional.

Karoto sharpens carrots to create curls and ribbons which can be formed into flowers to garnish dishes and salads.

Then, on the reverse is a vegetable peeler. And because of the grooves on the side of the sharpener, the peeler has an ergonomic shape making it very comfortable to use.

Karoto is still available to order for delivery before Christmas until 12.00pm on 21st December 2012 (while stocks last).
