Gadget you didn’t know you needed

If you’re filling up bags of food for the freezer and find it difficult to get it all in.
This bag holder will help you. Baggy Racks, Adjustable Sandwich Bag Stand Holders, Food Storage Bags Clips Stands

I bought these on a whim, fully expecting them to be one of those gadgets that looks clever online and then lives forever in the Drawer of Regret. But honestly? These little green contraptions have earned their place in my kitchen.

🥣 Perfect for chilli night
My main goal was to portion out homemade chilli into calorie‑controlled freezer bags without turning the kitchen into a crime scene. Normally I’m trying to hold a floppy bag open with one hand, ladle with the other, and somehow also keep the bag upright with my elbow. Chaos.

These stands, though? You clip the bag under the little claws, pull it open, and suddenly you’ve got a perfectly behaved, wide‑open bag waiting patiently for its chilli. No juggling, no spills, no swearing. It’s like having an extra pair of hands that don’t complain or wander off.

📏 Adjustable and surprisingly sturdy
The arms adjust to fit different bag sizes, which is ideal because my chilli portions vary depending on whether I’m being saintly or pretending calories don’t count on weekends. The base is stable enough that even when I’m ladling in a chunky chilli, the bag doesn’t collapse or tip. Some reviewers say they feel a bit flimsy, but mine have handled everything from soups to bolognese without drama.

🧊 Batch‑cooking bliss
Once the bags are filled, I just seal them, flatten them, and stack them in the freezer like edible little bricks of future convenience. It’s oddly satisfying. And because the stands fold flat, they tuck neatly into a drawer instead of becoming yet another thing cluttering the counter.

🧼 Easy to clean
A quick wipe and they’re good to go. No fiddly bits, no hidden chilli splatters waiting to surprise you later.

💬 Final thoughts
If you batch‑cook, meal‑prep, or just want to stop wrestling with freezer bags like they’re wild animals, these are absolutely worth the tiny price. They’ve made my chilli‑portioning routine faster, cleaner, and far less dramatic — and honestly, that’s all I ever wanted.

I know lots of people locally have had one of these installed. It has caught loads of people on camera checking car doors and acting suspiciously. These video clips have been shared on social media as well as been passed to the police to try to ID the people breaking into cars.

It’s such a simple idea. Answer the door when you’re not actually able to get to the front door.  So when you’re in the garden you can see who has turned up at the front of the house and tell them to come round to the back! Or avoid people you don’t want to see by having a look before you answer the door!

The video quality seems very good from the sample clips I’ve seen on my local area on NextDoor.co.uk
