We've been hosting our own Summer Food Fights on FOOD52 -- come play along!
Last week, in honor of the Summer Food Fights we asked you to send in Your Best Kitchen Hack -- and we promised you some glorious, drool-worthy prizes.
Wednesday, we presented our bronze medal to hardlikearmour for her photo tutorial on hacking a cold smoker. Yesterday, we brought you the silver medalist: Parties That Cook, with a quick workaround for mincing ginger.

Today, for the gold medal, we've got vvvanessa with her small kitchen kitchen hack: how to get more counter space out of an ironing board.
Congrats to vvvanessa -- here's your medal!

Thanks for Vanessa's idea! I live in an apartment with zero counter space, so this is a great idea!

Whee! Thanks so much, everyone and food52-- and a special shout out to my cinematographer who will be rewarded with lots of braised pork made in the French oven! I'm honored!

Congratulations on winning gold! What a smart and useful hack. PS, After watching the video I saw your salad spinner without a spinner hack - fun and brilliant!

Very fun, vvvanesa. Guess we know where you're going to put that super golden French oven.

I didn't win. But congrats to those who did! This was my entry for those who are interested. I turned my refridgerator ice dispenser into a candy machine : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96piFcn_BX8

Lucky girlfriend! This is not only a really sweet hack (pun intended) but the video itself is adorable.

That is super, Foodinese! I don't have an ice dispenser, but I'm sharing this with friends!
