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!
I cannot find the link for the video....

Congrats!! You can put your awesome new French oven on your ironing board!
What a genius idea---one of those things that make so much sense that nobody thinks of it!!!
YAY Vanessa, thanks for sharing your idea and congrats on winning the Gold! Oh, and what a film star you would make :)
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!
Great idea! Are we able to see all the entered kitchen hacks anywhere?

That's such a great idea! I'm sure we'd all learn a lot.
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.
Great hack, congratulations on winning gold!
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...
Lucky girlfriend! This is not only a really sweet hack (pun intended) but the video itself is adorable.
