The mold requires ice cream and homemade brownies. Reviewers have mentioned that it works better when you freeze the brownie sheet and let the ice cream sit out for a bit.
Get it from Amazon or Williams Sonoma for $19.95. If baking brownies seems like entirely too much work, check out these cookie sandwich makers.
End the agony of constantly under your bread to see if it's ready yet. It never is! It's either completely untoasted or inedibly burnt.
Promising review: "I purchased these for the office to end the endless fights about the dirty toaster and toaster oven and THEY DO MAGIC. Everyone is happy, toaster is clean, peace is restored! Food is heated evenly." —Marina

Think about how much time you'll be saving! So much!!!! If time is money, then this thing pays for itself.
Promising review: " The chopper is heavy duty, and stainless-steel. It's very sharp! It's easy to use by pushing products through. Everything comes out in even pieces and looks fantastic." —Chelsea H

Unless you have sleeping roommates because this thing is kind of loud.
Promising review: "It is a true marvel of science, magically producing perfect frozen yogurt from fruit, yes that's right, magic. It blew my mind how similar it is to real ice cream. If you had placed a bowl in front of me, I dare say I would not recognize its true composition of pure fruit. Magic frozen yogurt which I am now guiltlessly consuming as I transcribe this very review. I can say with confidence, this magic frozen yogurt leaves you feeling healthy, full, and like you've just had a bowl of ice cream... for breakfast." —Tosh

Promising review: "I love this yogurt maker and have been using it once to twice a week since I got it. I find that whether or not homemade yogurt is cheaper than store bought depends on your ingredients that you are using i.e.: organic milk vs. regular store brand milk. I was eating brand name and store name yogurt daily and it was getting costly. This really cuts down on the cost and tastes a lot better." —LAS

Manually crank the handle and doubles blades will slice and dice your ingredients in seconds.
Promising review: "I bought this because I love the salsa you can get in restaurants, but I'm not a fan of the jarred stuff you get in the grocery stores. I grow my own tomatoes and peppers so this is wonderful for a quick batch of fresh salsa." —Jennifer

Sous vide, which means “under vacuum” in French, refers to the process of vacuum-sealing food in a bag, then cooking it to a very precise temperature in a water bath. This method ensures maximum tenderness and moisture retention — without worry of overcooking.
Promising review: "Add this nifty gadget to your kitchen arsenal and get time back normally spent hovering over, carefully trying not to overcook meats! Not only that, but you'll have perfectly cooked meat every time! I used to never buy steaks because they were too difficult to perfectly cook without a grill, but now with this, all they need is a sear in a pan for a minute and you are ready to have the juiciest, well-cooked steak. This tackles more than just meat though, I have had success in cooking eggs in here as well, some of the silkiest, smoothest you will ever try. It's almost confusing at first when you taste it because they are so smooth, but once you have that first bite, you will clear the plate in no time. Take this, an Instant Pot, and an air fryer, and you'll be noticing that oven and stove top staying A LOT cleaner." —Brian

Along with the blender, you get an egg whisk, milk frother, chopper bowl, mixing beaker, and blending head.
Promising review: "Exactly what I've been looking for in an immersion mixer. Steel construction, over 500 watts, adjustable speed controls, and the 20-ounce cup is a nice addition. If you haven't made hollandaise with a hand mixer, you're short changing yourself and the sauce. I will continue to play with this thing and update if necessary, right now it's a 5-star product!" —Lamon Tucker Jr

I am a huge Ninja blender fan. They just work better than any other brand. I can thoughtlessly throw any frozen chunk of whatever in there and know the motor won't burn out. I love making hummus, nut butter, acai bowls, and thick smoothie bowls with mine! This model comes with 14- and 24-ounce cups, plus a 1,200-peak-watt motor and four preset programs.

This is great for all sorts of foods, especially frozen food. It makes food extra crispy without the need to fry it. It's also a lot more convenient than a toaster oven.
Promising review: "Hands-down the best $70 I have spent for something in the kitchen. Brussels sprouts, potatoes, chicken — you name it, and chances are there’s a way to air fry it." —lyssanicoleh

Does a book count as a gadget? Yes. Don't argue with me on this.
Promising review: "Gave this to my lovely wife for her birthday. She had been looking for a cookbook to write down recipes she loved or invented. The quality of this book and slipcover are such that someday our children or grandchildren will inherit the family recipes. Neat layout, with options that other books don't have." —Bladesmith

Promising review: "I love this meal planner and shopping list! In my house, it was constantly 'what do you want to eat,' 'what do we have,' blah blah, etc. Now, I can lay out the week's meals and get my shopping list prepared so I make sure I don't miss anything at the grocery store. The magnet on the back is strong and holds it to the fridge perfectly, even with the door opening and closing constantly. The perforation is good and doesn't stray off into the paper like some cheaper papers do. Will be buying again when my current one gets low." —Haley

Promising review: "I LOVE this little gem. The portion size is perfect for one (me). Just be creative...it cooks stir-fry-size meats quickly and perfectly. It makes a grilled cheese on a small bun and a perfect egg. Clean up is so easy and quick. I love not messing up a pan and the stove. I like to eat, but for me, cooking for one is not especially fun. This is almost fun and so easy. All I really use now is my Dash, microwave, and coffee pot. Kitchen stays immaculate!" —Jaiyen

The top can be used to measure out popcorn kernels and hold a chunk of butter when cooking.
Promising review: "This is so easy to use and makes delicious popcorn! I put about a tablespoon of coconut oil (instructions say any cooking oil) in with the corn kernels and a good pat of butter on top and cook in the microwave. I just listen for when the popping slows and remove from microwave. I add a small amount of salt and shake it up — makes perfect popcorn!!!!!!!!" —TMAC TexasTop
