A One-Handed Kitchen Aid That Holds Pots, Jars and Bowls Still for You
The Handigood Easy-Up is a vacuum holder that grips whatever you place on it and anchors itself to the bench at the same time. One press of the switch and your pot, jar or mixing bowl stays put while you stir, mash, whisk or twist off a lid with one hand.
Lead time: In stock and dispatched from our Australian supplier, usually within 1-2 business days.
Plenty of everyday kitchen jobs quietly need two hands: one to hold, one to work. If you have arthritis, weaker grip, or use one hand after a stroke or brain injury, that second hand is often the thing standing between you and making your own lunch. The Easy-Up takes over the holding, so you can get on with the cooking yourself. It's designed and made in Denmark, and it comes with an accessory kit for bottles, small tins, cartons and hot pans.
How the Easy-Up Vacuum Holder Works
- Place the Easy-Up on a flat, smooth bench and switch it on. The light turns blue.
- Set your item on top, on one of the accessories if it needs one, and press it down lightly.
- The vacuum holds the item to the Easy-Up and the Easy-Up to the bench, so nothing slides or tips while you work.
- Switch it off when you're done. The vacuum drops away quickly and the item lifts straight off.
Why It Makes Cooking One-Handed Easier
- Grips and anchors in one press: a -50 kPa vacuum holds the item and the base at once, so you can stir a pot or open a jar without chasing it across the bench.
- Accessory kit for awkward shapes: rings and cups create the hollow the vacuum needs under bottles, pill jars, butter and sardine tins, so far more of your pantry works with it.
- Easy-Warm ring for hot pots: a silicone ring sits under a saucepan, so you can mash potatoes or stir a sauce with your stronger hand.
- Easy-Release tool: breaks the seal on vacuum-sealed lids like jam jars, the step that usually needs a firm two-handed twist.
- Cordless and rechargeable: charges by USB-C and weighs just 0.4 kg, so it moves easily from the kitchen to the dining table or comes along on a trip.
- Quiet at under 42 dB: you can use it while chatting or with the radio on, without a noisy motor in the background.

Who the Easy-Up Suits
- People with arthritis or weak hands who struggle to hold a bowl steady or keep a jar from spinning.
- Anyone cooking with one hand, including people living with hemiplegia (one-sided weakness) after a stroke or brain injury.
- Older Australians who want to keep cooking for themselves without calling someone in to help.
- Busy parents who need a spare hand while holding a baby, or want kids to help with baking without the bowl going flying.
The Easy-Up needs a flat, smooth surface to hold its vacuum. Some marble and timber benches let air in underneath, which stops it gripping, so check your bench is smooth and level. If you're unsure whether it suits your needs, we recommend speaking with your occupational therapist or healthcare provider.
