As we all know, a lazy person named Susan designed a turntable for condiments. But her condition prevented her from evolving the product, and it wasn't until someone made a Pac-Man-shaped Lazy Susan for corner cabinets that we saw any further innovations in the space.
However, inventor Dennis Clayton, a former aircraft service technician for Lockheed Martin, came up with a crazy idea: What about a Lazy Susan that would fit inside ordinary cabinets, allowing you to access stuff in the back? The D-shaped Stow-and-Spin was born.
The flat edge means you can close the cabinet door. (At 11" front-to-back, the Stow-and-Spin gives you an inch of wiggle room as the standard upper cabinet depth is 12".) Sure, you lose a little real estate in the corners, but the 360 access is worth the trade-off. And the little dais in the middle also rotates, independently of the outer ring, allowing for more flexibility.
That version above is the Stow-and-Spin Single Deluxe ($25). Like any good hamburger joint, they also make a Double Deluxe ($39).
If that's not wild enough for you, you can step up to the poorly-named Simple Deluxe ($37) which features a horseshoe-shaped upper deck so you can fit tall stuff in the middle.
Stow-and-Spins are all made in the USA.

I could use about 30 of these. Is there one with an grated bottom so it won't collect dirt? Are they dishwasher safe? Thanks for this.
My mom would love this...I prefer a cabinet with less depth.
