Promising review: "I love this product, does exactly what it's supposed to do. It doesn't stink up a room with a heated food smell. It's compact and adorable; the color is consistent, the texture is nice and smooth, and it is matte, so it doesn't look cheap at all. There's only one temperature setting, but I don't have an issue with that at all." —Brian
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in two sizes and four colors).
2. A 2-in-1 kitchen scale and measuring cup so you can make sure you're getting the precise amount of flour to perfect your grandma's cookie recipe, while also measuring the liquids ~in the same container~ so you can have fewer dishes and more time to munch away on those freshly baked treats.
Promising review: "This scale with a built-in cup is the best thing for my baking tools. No more whipping out 1,000,000 cups. Also, [rather than] always trying to figure out grams or cups, now I just press a button, and it tells me. I love this." —Corin lonigro
Get it from Amazon for $19.49+ (available in three colors).
3. A Le Creuset magnetic trivet designed to attach to the bottom of your metal pots and pans so you can easily transfer your delicious dish from the oven to table without fumbling around trying to place the trivet without burning yourself.
Promising review: "The wood is really super nice, smooth, and clean. It sticks great to the pan, and the silicone rings add great shock absorption, so it doesn't make a lot of noise when I send down my heavy 13-some-inch skillet! It cleans off easily; I've only used it a handful of times, but it still looks brand new! A little pricey, but it's a premium kitchen thing. I recommend don't settle for something cheaper." —K. Lujan
Get it from Amazon for $49.95.
4. A set of toss-and-chop salad tongs to achieve those amazing, bite-size pieces like you can get at restaurants because somehow salad is SO much better when all the pieces are teeny and easy to eat. These will work for everything from the lettuce to veggies to meat. Your vegetable intake is about to drastically increase.
Check out a TikTok of the salad scissors in action.
Promising review: "Love these! I hate big leafy salads, so I bought these, and they're perfect for chopping greens into bites. I also use them to quickly chop cherry tomatoes, onions, and other veggies. VERY nice quality." —asoon
Get it from Amazon for $21.27.
5. A juicer designed to get 👏🏼 EVERY 👏🏼 LAST 👏🏼 DROP 👏🏼 from your lemons, limes, oranges, or whatever else you need to squeeze. It'll catch all the seeds so you don't have to go fishing at the end, and it collapses down flat so it won't take up a huge chunk of your drawer.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I don’t know why someone didn’t come up with this sooner. But to the person who did, you’re kind of my hero. This thing is amazing. Just cut the fruit in half, drop it in with the cut side facing toward you, and squeeze the handle. Gets so much more juice out than the old-style juicers. Super easy cleanup, too. I have some severe health issues, including bad arthritis in my hands, and it doesn’t hurt at all to use. 10/10 highly recommend!" —Kristen L.
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in three colors).
6. The Chopula — it'll revolutionize your utensil holder (aka drastically cut down the number of things you have crammed in there). This bad boy will be your right-hand man; it has a thin, flexible flipper to slide under delicate foods, a curved edge that gets into pan corners, a hard edge for chopping, and when you lay it down, it stays upright so you don't get your counter dirty as heck.
Promising review: "We bought this to replace a similar yet old one from Bed, Bath and Beyond that had outlived its utility. We found this one on Amazon, and it has been put to use nearly every morning, whether for eggs, pancakes, or anything else made in a frying pan. Couldn't do without it." —William Capodano
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in seven colors).
7. A spill stopper because somehow a watched pot never boils but always boils over. This will trap excess foam and liquid to prevent it from spilling and inevitably burning into a hard-to-clean mess.
Promising review: "Wow, wow, wow, I have no words to describe how great this product is. I'm a mom with a large family who cooks and bakes all the time, and there is never a time that something doesn't spill over, even when standing and watching the pot. With this, life has just gotten easier. I think I'm throwing out all my pot covers after using this." —Rackel
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in three colors)..
8. And a splatter guard to protect your stove (and arms) from all the bacon grease splatters when you're just trying to add a little ~pizzazz~ to your Brussels sprouts.
Frywall is a New York-based small business that specializes in protective kitchen accessories.
Promising review: "I was frying chicken with lard, and I put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up, and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape. It's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall. Helpful." —Carl G Brown
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in four colors).
9. A genius guacamole saver that can hold up to four cups worth and *actually* keep it fresh. Be honest: There's nothing worse than craving some delicious guac only to open your fridge and see a brown pile of mush. This will suck out all the air and keep it nice and green for days, so you don't have to decide between wasting the goodness or eating wayyyy more than you planned just cause you don't wanna throw it out.
Promising review: "I cannot believe this works so well! I'm a huge guac-on-toast person, but how unappealing is brown guacamole? Received this on Saturday, made a batch on Sunday, and it was still beautifully green and tasty six days later! My standard batch perfectly fits six medium avocados, plus the fixings. Happy girl here!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.61.
10. A microwave bacon cooker so you can enjoy that crispy deliciousness in minutes, without all the cleanup or accidentally boiling the bacon in its own grease. Instead, all of that will collect on the bottom so you can easily dispose of it.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this. Makes breakfast so easy. Bacon is always crisp, and after I take the bacon out, I crack an egg or two in the tray . The eggs are delicious and don't taste greasy. Use it almost every morning." —REGINA PELLMAN
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
11. A cupcake scooper with dispenser that'll revolutionize your baking game!! After using this once, you'll wonder why you ever used the spoon-and-finger-scrape method to fill your cupcakes. With the push of a button, you can easily scrape all the batter off the scoop so you get every last bit while making sure each spot is evenly filled.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Don’t think twice — just buy it! This has revolutionized cupcake/muffin making. No more using your finger or extra utensils to scoop the mix into the tins. You can measure out exactly how much you need to scoop and then just push the button up, and the mix glides right into the tins with no mess." —Dorothy H
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two colors).
12. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier so you can stop pouring oil into a makeshift tinfoil bowl in your sink's drain — where it lives for hours while it solidifies (anyone else? Can't just be me…). Just sprinkle the powder in while it's hot, let it cool, and easily dispose of it in the trash!
FryAway is a woman-owned small biz founded by Laura Lady who specializes in planet-friendly ways to dispose of oil.
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two styes).
13. A perfect egg timer because be honest, how many times have you tried to cook a soft boiled egg only to cut it open and realize it's fully hard boiled? All you have to do is throw this gadget in with the eggs and it'll change color to indicate what level of cooked your eggs are.
Promising review: "At first use, I was confused and thought it wasn't working until I cracked one egg open. Lo and behold, this product actually works as described. Now, I can't stop using it every morning." —Amazon Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $9.19.
14. A rotating 2-in-1 colander and washing basket so you can strain your pasta with one hand instead of trying to hold the heavy pot in one and the strainer in the other while praying you don't scald yourself with boiling water. You can also separate them out if you need to have an extra storage bowl on hand.
Promising review: "This is so easy and convenient to use. The material is sturdy and detachable. You can use it to easily wash and strain and also use the bucket itself to prepare food. Love it." —swska
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors).
15. A water dispenser lever to help you get that deliciously crisp, filtered fridge water without having to put everything down to hold the cup with one hand while pushing the button with the other. Seriously, whoever invented this deserves an award. Something so simple can make a world of difference.
Packard 3D Designs is a Maryland-based small business run by mechanical engineer Austin Packard.
Note: this is compatible with many fridge brands including Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag, but it is not compatible with GE refrigerators.
Promising reviews: "Super helpful to my dad, who has issues with fine motor skills after a spinal cord injury!" —Brooke
"I no longer hate my fridge!!!! This water dispenser attachment fits absolutely perfectly, and now I don’t have to contort my body to fill up cups, bottles, and pitchers of water!!! Thank you SO much for such a high-quality product. Truly life-altering." —Christine C
Get it from Packard 3D Designs onAmazon for $25 (available in two colors and two attachment styles).
16. An adjustable silicone pie crust shield so you don't pull your precious dessert out of the oven just to reveal a burnt outer layer. This is wayyy easier than the old wrap-the-edges-in-tinfoil technique that almost always leads to frustration and still burnt bits.
It can adjust to fit from an 8-inch to 11.4-inch pie dish and is oven- and microwave-safe.
Promising review: "I don't bake pies or quiche every day, but wrestling with aluminum foil or a metal shield has never worked that well for me. This product surprised me. It was easy to use. It is adjustable. It protected the crust. It did everything I expected it to do. I was not disappointed and would recommend to others who are skeptical to try it." —Sandra C
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors)
17. A 14-piece golden knife set so gorgeous you'll want it out on your counter instead of shoved away in a drawer.
The set comes with a chef's knife, carving knife, bread knife, kitchen utility knife, small paring knife, santoku knife, six gold steak knives, and black kitchen shears, all housed in a black knife sharpening block.
Promising review: "OMG, this knife set is gorgeous. I updated my kitchen counter and backsplash to white, and I wanted a nice knife set to replace my old mismatched one. Just beautiful on my counter. I’ve already used several of the knives. They are very sharp and solid. Highly recommend. ❤️" —yogachick56
Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in 11 other color combinations).
18. A bunny and bear egg mold set to take your hard-boiled eggs to a level of cuteness you never knew existed. Just put a warm egg into the mold and put it in cold water for 10 minutes, when the time's up you'll have two new lunch buddies.
Promising review: "Love this! This does exactly what it’s supposed to! My daughter's face lit up, seeing her hard-boiled eggs look like bunnies. So easy and a breeze to clean." —Karen
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99.
19. A set of stackable bento box containers perfect for making lunches for your kiddos, meal prepping, or even creating those little snack boxes where you can have a little bit of everything without worrying about all the different flavors marinating together and tasting…questionable.
They're microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "This is perfect for people who take their lunch to work. Instead of carrying many containers (one for hot foods and another for cold foods), this all-in-one is perfect. If you purchase two or more packs, you can switch the inserts to create one section to two sections or four. The inserts are easy to remove, leaving only what you want to microwave inside of the container. You can microwave just the hot food and then put the cold food insert back inside the bowl when you're done. Super simple and versatile." —Jeanie Loyd
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in packs of two, three, four, six and seven).
20. A tabletop s'mores firepit so you can have some delicious roasty-toasty marshmallows no matter the temperature outside. Also a great option for anyone who doesn't even have a backyard where you could make s'mores.
Houswise is a small business that specializes in tabletop firepits.
Promising review: "We did our first indoor s'mores and movie on a cold Saturday night, and it was a hit with the kids and friends. It lit for an hour when filled to the max with ethanol. Easy to use, odorless, and just looks amazing!" —MD Boy
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two styles and four colors).
21. A corn stripper because everyone loves a good corn-based dish but MAN is it a pain to cut those little kernels off (especially without having them fly all over the place). This nifty contraption will help you get allll the deliciousness in mere seconds without the mess or frustration.
Promising review: "This product to remove corn is so easy and works great. No more fresh corn kernels flying around off the counter. It’s so great. I gave mine to my mother and then bought another. It’s a great gift for cooks and those who love corn." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
22. A 2-in-1 garlic press that'll slice and crush garlic at the same time!! IDK about you, but I've never seen a gadget designed to slice garlic before, but now that I know it exists, I'm not sure why they aren't everywhere. This will make meal prepping a breeze.
And it's super easy to clean. Just rinse it under water, and if there are any stubborn bits, use the included brush or the nifty cleaning device that lives inside the handle.
Promising review: "I have carpal tunnel, so I like to minimize straining my muscles. I also have pretty small hands. This garlic press is really comfortable to use, albeit a little bit annoying to clean. I recently tried using a friend's garlic press, and the amount of force I needed to use really hurt my hands and wrists. If you've been avoiding getting a garlic press because you fear you lack wrist strength, this is the product for you. I'm never mincing or slicing garlic again." —Jamie Sarmiento
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
23. Or a Dracula garlic mincer to add a little ~spice~ to your meal prep gadgets. Just pop a clove or two in the container, press, and twist Dracula's head to reveal your deliciously fresh garlic, ready for whatever meal you have planned.
PS: You can also use it for ginger!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and, months later, still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her, which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
24. A heated "Taco Tuesday" kit that'll make your house the best place for Mexican food. Your family won't even beg you to go to the restaurant down the street anymore. The 360-degree rotation makes it easy for everyone to access their fave toppings to make the ultimate tacos.
Kusini is a small business that specializes in unique kitchen products.
It includes a warming bowl in the center, six rotating toppings holders, and four personal taco holders.
Promising review: "My kids love taco nights, and this just made it even better. All in one spot for all toppings, and the lazy Susan feature is great for little hands who want to help build tacos. The warming compartment is awesome — no more cold meat by the time you sit down. The cord is a bit short, but nothing we can’t handle. Packaging is so nice and festive! We will definitely use this for our family taco nights!" —Ana Rubio
Get it from Amazon for $36.09.
25. A silicone cake-slice mold pan so you can create individual servings before baking, which means you don't have to try to cut your fancy dessert just to end up smearing the icing and serving blobs instead of slices. And you aren't limited to cake; use this to make brownies, scones, cornbread, or even several flavors. You can add toppings to individual slices and create everyone's perfect bite!!
Promising review: "I bake a lot of scones, and having this mold ensures an attractive, consistently sized result. It is sturdier than many silicone molds I use but still is flexible, so I place a pan underneath. The fact it is silicone also saves money since I don't have to use parchment paper. You can literally pop out the scone, and cleanup is simple by hand or dishwasher, although I think better by hand." —Anne Snyder
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
26. And a brownie pan with dividers to make sure your brownies are always perfectly sliced, all edge pieces, and individually and precisely covered with toppings that won't all mush together as they bake.
Emma Lord has this and LOVES it: Um, I'm obsessed with this pan. I make those gooey three-layer brownies that are cookie dough on the bottom, Oreos in the middle, and either brownie or Nutella on top, and I famously underbake them because salmonella doesn't apply to me. Which is to say, usually when I make these, it's a big gooey mess, and my friends have to dig in with a spoon, and it's less inviting for guests to take one. With this tray, it was SO easy to put the batter in, stick the divider on top, and bake individual small bars. It was completely nonstick, and it was easy to pull the divider out once everything was cooked. The uniform brownies were a huge hit at a party!
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
27. A set of Stanley cup spill stoppers so your fave cup doesn't become your arch nemesis when it tips over and makes a mess all over your desk.
Promising review: "This set made my Stanley cup completely spill-proof, so now I can carry it anywhere without worrying about knocking it over and making a mess. Easy to use, easy to clean, and very effective!" —LeighAnn
Get two sets of spill stoppers from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two colors and for Stanley 1.0 and 2.0).
28. A magnetic towel holder you can stick to your fridge to free up some counter space and give you a place to store your paper towels and hand towels.
Reviewers also use this on their washing machines, dryers, and metal doors.
Promising review: "I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t like a lot of stuff on my countertops. This is just what I was looking for. It’s compact and a space saver. The magnet sticks really well. It doesn’t move when I tear off paper towels." —Latasha Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
29. A chic oil dispenser set so gorgeous you'll surely question why you just used the ugly store-bought bottles your whole life.
This set also comes with a bamboo tray for the dispensers and 20 waterproof labels to choose from.
Promising review: "I love these dispensers. Not only are they the exact aesthetic I was looking for, but they function really well! The pours are consistent, and the seals are great. The labels are easy to apply and are holding up really well." —TStan7291
Get a set of two from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five spout colors).
30. Or a set of thin dispensers that nest together perfectly to help save some space on your counter. These are also great for setting up your aesthetically pleasing coffee station with all the different syrups you love to make drinks with.
This comes with two bottles, two spouts, 36 labels, one funnel, and one cleaning brush.
Promising review: "These are wonderful. I love their slim, sleek profile and the labels. I love the gold accent. I love how much volume it holds. Space saving, functional, and stylish." —Rlee
Get a set of two from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in three colors and a pack of four).
31. A handy heat-resistant silicone utensil rest to give you a place to conveniently set all your food-covered spoons and spatulas while you whip up your fancy dinner. Seriously, please just spend the $10 and stop setting the sauce-covered spoon on your counter, creating an ever-growing mess to clean up when you're done cooking.
Bonus — this is also dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I bought this on impulse, and I am glad I did. It does a great job of holding several utensils and keeping them from touching, all while not taking up a great deal of space. The lip around the edge works well to keep any drips from getting on my counter, and when I am done cooking, I just throw it in the dishwasher. My counters are cleaner and less cluttered while cooking (I have limited counter space), and cleanup is a breeze. Before this, I had a cute ceramic owl spoon rest which I loved the look of but was always afraid of breaking it, and it only held one utensil. Since this one is silicone, I don’t have to worry about it chipping or breaking. It is also easy to stick it in a drawer until you need it. I would definitely recommend this product, without hesitation, to anyone." —A. Jessup
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes, multi-packs, and 23 colors).
32. A "Burger Master" 8-in-1 press and freezer container so you can quickly and easily turn that pound of ground beef into perfectly packed and uniform patties you can toss on the grill for a delicious dinner. You can also use it to freeze your perfectly portioned meats. And don't stop there, use it for any type of food so your freezer is stocked and you're set with dinners for at least a week!
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this and saw it on TikTok. Much to my surprise, this is awesome. It truly makes perfect burgers, and they come out of the tray easily. I highly recommend this for fresh burgers." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.97.
