We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A meal planner – it'll be helpful for you to write down what you're going to have for dinner instead of just staring into your fridge when you get home, hoping some sort of inspiration will come to you.
2. A non-stick baking sheet – fill it with veggies and a protein, throw some spices on it, then stick it in the oven for 15 minutes to make a delicious (and healthy) meal before it starts to feel like your stomach is eating itself.
3. A Vidalia Chop Wizard because chopping always seems to take an absurd amount of time. Like, seriously, when I read a recipe and it says it will take 20 minutes, they're not taking my slow chopping skills into account. This gadget will ~cut~ that chopping time in half.
4. An EZ Off Jar Opener because I can't be the only one who's abandoned making dinner and simply ordered takeout because I couldn't get a jar open.
5. An avocado splitter, pitter, and slicer because I refuse to accept that avocado toast isn't something you should be eating for dinner multiple nights a week.
6. A microwave pasta cooker because waiting for water to boil is the WORST part of making pasta. What's the saying about watching paint dry? Well, when you're hungry, boiling water is worse than that.
7. A rapid egg cooker you can use to make hard, medium, or soft boiled eggs. Wouldn't one be delicious on top of a salad?
8. An Instant Pot that just might revolutionize the way you cook because it does it all. Say goodbye to eating cereal for dinner and hello to *actual* delicious meals in a matter of minutes.
9. Or just a rice cooker with a delayed timer, so you can put rice in it before you leave for work, and come home to delicious food that's ready to eat.
10. A set of microwave-safe nested storage bowls you can fill with food and then put directly in the microwave, essentially cutting out the middle man when it comes to transferring food. Less work = best work.
11. A convection oven way more convenient to use than your actual oven because it cooks faster and more evenly. You can toast, bake, broil, roast, and more in this baby.
12. A rapid ramen cooker because ramen isn't just for students living in college dorms. Plus, you can make you own version of a dish many restaurants are now serving at high prices.
13. A grilled cheese bag designed to make a perfect one without even turning on the stove. You'll brie so thankful.
14. A five-minute chef that cooks both the top and bottom of the food at once so you have more time to get in bed and watch Netflix before passing out.
15. A banana slicer you'll wonder how you ever lived without. It's a simple task, but a tiresome one.
16. A microwave omelet pan designed to make you a delicious meal in a matter of minutes. Just put eggs, veggies, meat, and cheese into the dish, stick it in the microwave, and you'll be G2G.
17. A fruit soft-serve maker that'll turn whatever fruit you have into a delicious treat for dessert.
18. A defrosting tray so you can easily and quickly defrost meat or fish because it's too hard to remember to take it out of the freezer before you leave for work.
19. A griddler that may change the way you make sandwiches – once you've turned your sandwich into a panini, there's no going back.
20. A grill and griddle pan so you only have to get one pan dirty to make a complete meal.
21. A two-tier food steamer because you might be ~out of steam~, but that doesn't mean your dinner has to be!
22. Or a microwave version you just put veggies and fish on and your dinner will be ready faster it would take a Seamless delivery to even get to your house.
23. An Aroma Housewares 3-in-1 Superpot you can use for slow cooking, steaming, and simmering, oh my!
Who do I need to bribe to make this a real thing?????
