    28 Kitchen Tools That Are So Genius, You May Wonder How You Ever Cooked Without Them

    Honestly, where was the Thaw Claw when I realized I forgot to defrost my chicken for dinner?

    1. A Kochblume spill stopper you put on top of your pot and then can walk away knowing that the water won't overflow onto the stove whenever it decides to boil.

    2. A Thaw Claw designed to defrost meat seven times faster. All you have to do is suction it to your sink, fill the sink with water, and then put the frozen food under the claw. It will be defrosted in no time — and you'll never have to remember to take the meat out of the fridge in the morning again.

    3. An ashwood cutting board made with a slot to hold a tablet or cookbook upright to keep your recipe visible while you cook.

    4. A jalapeño corer that will make it super easy to get your jalapeños clean and ready to use in seconds — and keep your hands from touching the spicy insides.

    5. A two-part serving bowl so you can serve two different snacks at the same time while only using one bowl. Now that's a win-win.

    6. Silicone dish-washing gloves with bristles on them to help scrub food residue without having to use a sponge or brush.

    7. A fast-prep kitchen slicer that gives you a better grip while cutting awkwardly-shaped food, such as tomatoes, grapes, and even chicken breasts.

    8. A silicone popcorn maker you just fill with kernels, ~pop~ in the microwave, and end up with delicious popcorn in minutes.

    9. A three-in-one egg separator because I can't be the only one who has had to start a recipe over multiple times because an egg yolk or shell has accidentally made its way into the bowl.

    10. Oven gloves that are connected by organic cotton fabric with a texture to help you get a good grip and not spill the hot dish you're carrying.

    11. A silicone drain cover great for anyone who does not have a disposal and wants a simple way to stop food from going down the drain. This suctions to the sink and can easily be removed to throw the food scraps away.

    12. A freezer tray to store the extra herbs you buy when your recipe calls for four tablespoons of fresh parsley...but the grocery store only sells it in bushels meant to serve hundreds.

    13. Swedish dish cloths that absorb up to 15 times their own weight, so you can use them to clean your whole kitchen in one swoop and then throw them in the dishwasher when done.

    14. Reusable produce storage bags specifically designed to keep fruit, vegetables, and even flowers fresher longer so you can actually enjoy everything you purchase.

    15. A scrap collector you can attach to a drawer and scrape excess food into while you're cooking, keeping your cutting board clearer as you cut everything you need.

    16. A fruit slicer set that comes with a watermelon slicer and scooper, a strawberry slicer, and a peach pitter to make cutting and thus enjoying fruit a tad bit easier.

    17. A reusable silicone bag you find so useful for not only storing food but also making it super easy to steam, sous vide or marinate.

    18. A champagne stopper perfect for anyone who likes to enjoy a glass with dinner or mimosa with brunch — but doesn't want to feel pressure to finish the bottle in the same day. This little tool reseals it, so it's fresh and bubbly for longer.

    19. A microwave pasta maker that just might revolutionize how you make pasta. Just put the pasta and water in, stick it in the microwave, and you'll have al dente pasta in minutes. You'll never have to wait for water to boil again.

    20. A corn butter knife – everyone who sees it will be all ~ears~ to hear where you got it, because they'll want one themselves. Yeah, that's right, you'll say, "I never have to struggle spreading butter on my corn again."

    21. A miracle plastic container with FreshVent technology to regulate the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide to keep your berries fresh for up to two (!!) weeks so you can actually enjoy them instead of realizing they're already bad and having to take a trip to the grocery store to get more.

    22. A batter dispenser designed with a wide-mouth opening and a quick close valve in order to pour near-perfect circular pancakes to enjoy on Saturday morning.

    23. A veggie cup gadget to turn vegetable into little bowls you can fill with deliciousness and enjoy as a snack or appetizer.

    24. A dip clip so you can keep your sauce separate from your food so you don't have to enjoy ranch all over your whole dinner (even though that might be okay for some...well me).

    25. A flip top you attach to your bottles to make sure you get EVERY. LAST. DROP. There's really nothing as satisfying as using up all of your condiments.

    26. An automatic pot-stirrer that'll basically be your sous-chef when you don't have any help in the kitchen as it keeps whatever you're cooking stirred while you focus on whatever else the recipe calls for.

    27. A Whisk Wiper Pro because while licking the entire whisk *sounds* like a good idea, this little tool will *actually* get it clean way easier than just sticking it in the water and hoping for the best.

    28. A three-pack of nonstick oven liners you can cut to fit your oven or grill to protect it from getting covered in the goo and gunk that spills out of whatever you're cooking. Just pull the liner out (when the oven isn't hot anymore) and wash it in the sink for a fuss-free way to keep your oven clean.
