A mother of three’s revolutionary kitchen gadget for kids has been recognised with a national award.

Kelly Levary’s innovative ‘Strucket Teenie’, which was designed to make cooking safer for kids, landed a Good Design Award.

It does not have any serrated edges and is easy to use.

“We’ve designed this to be as compact as possible, perfect for little hands,” she said.

“We try to keep things as local as possible, manufacturing in Queensland, packing it all from our Maroochydore warehouse.”
