Promising review: "I used the rapid corn and potato cooker for both corn on the cob and for baked potatoes. This rapid cooker is wonderful to use, requires less time, and there's no mess to clean up. Both corn and potato takes only three minutes in the microwave with the rapid cooker. The taste of the food is great. Can also use this for steamed veggies." —Abe

Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I try to limit my monthly food expenditures and the Fasta Pasta helps me work in at least one inexpensive pasta meal every week. If not more. First of all, I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big clean up afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap. No big pot; no colander; no spaghetti fork to lift out the pasta. Just the easy to clean Fasta Pasta, and a pot to heat up the sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" —Smilin Sam

Promising reviews: "I'm loving my new Tasty cutting board prep station. The originality, the thoughtfulness, and all the extras that come with it are just awesome. So if you desire a cutting board that is a cut (no punt intended) above the other standard cutting boards out there this is the one I would recommend." —Barbara
"Nice and sturdy cutting board! It's actually a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. Trays lock in place when not in use and can rest on top of compartment when in use. Easy storage as well." —Jailyn

Promising review: "We travel full-time and move every three months so everything has to be compact and packable. These replaced five other kitchen utensils that did not nest in each other. They sit on the counter ready to use. They are sturdy and have been used in nonstick ceramic and cast-iron pans. Very happy with this set." —Justice Talbot

Promising review: "I love this Uni-tool. I use it for sautéing veggies, scraping bowls, browning meats, tasting soup, testing macaroni for doneness, etc. I like that I can taste test with the spoon side and keep working with the other side. I randomly told my husband I wanted one for Christmas, and I am so glad I did. It's a useful kitchen gadget to have." —Lori Price

Central Coast Woodworks is a California-based small business!
Promising review: "Best tortilla press. While it's a bit more expensive than other tortilla presses out there, it is definitely worth the price. I got this for my mom as she wanted something that would make it easier for her to make tortillas/gorditas. The press is heavy enough that she doesn't have to add a lot of pressure to press the tortilla out, and it is easy to clean. It looks beautiful in the kitchen and it's easier for her to use than the old one she had." —Smamazon Customer

You can adjust the wire in the slicer to get your desired thickness (and it even comes with an extra wire in case the first wears out).
Promising review: "Cheese is considered a major food group in our house, so replacing our broken slicer was an absolute necessity. This slicer is an absolute dream. It's very sturdy (without being too heavy) and it cuts extra-sharp cheddar as if it were room-temperature butter! Don't waste your time and money on a cheap slicer — this one will probably last for years." —StillontheEdge

Promising review: "Hey, you! You like cheese? You like to put cheese on everything? How about you step it up and put melty cheese on everything! This is a fun ~easy bake~ way to melt cheese as a topping for burgers, veggies, potatoes, and more. Mix different cheeses, add garlic, spices, light the candles, and watch the melting begin!" —awfullyrad

This unit is pretty small compared to other sous vide machines and lightweight. Plus, it can connect to Wi-Fi via Bluetooth so you can keep tabs on what's cooking (and how long you have left) in an app.
Promising review: "Love it. I've made crème brûlée, egg bites, and a couple rib roasts. I'm saving so much money on NOT buying Starbucks egg bites it was worth it for that alone. I can't compare it to other sous vide units, but it heats quickly, the depth works well (I use my big old All-Clad lobster pot and clip it on the side, but before I pulled the lobster pot out I set it down in my Dutch oven and I loved the magnet that stood it up). The app is OK. It does its job. I like being able to check on the timer from wherever. I would buy again." —erin johnson

Here's why my coworker Stephanie loves this:
"OK, so I'm definitely the kind of person to cook an entire box of pasta because they have no idea how much they should be making for one person. This measure has worked perfectly for me to figure out exactly how much I need to make for myself and my fiancé for dinner. No more wasted pasta!" —Stephanie Hope

This includes a ventilated case for storage.
Promising review: "OK, this is DEFINITELY not a gimmick! Follow the instructions and this will save you time and sanity in the kitchen! Roll it with minimal pressure and it works like a champ. It also rinses very easily and dries quick. The case has holes on either end to ensure it dries completely in between uses when you toss it in a drawer. I will never hand/knife smash garlic and fight with those pesky skins sticking to everything ever again." —ThatKasper

Promising review: "I wanted a garlic press that would help make using fresh garlic less of a hassle and this one fits the bill. I love to cook and want my garlic ready quickly. This instrument is heavy and does the job fast without much muscle. It's easy to clean as well and pops right into the dishwasher. Perfect! —Laurie

Promising review: "This thing is great! I bought it to cook dried beans fast, and it does. A process that required eight hours of soaking and two hours of boiling now takes a half hour. The unit is also easy to clean. Plus it has a whole bunch of cooking modes in addition to pressure cooking. The sauté feature makes it easy to sauté the food in the same pot that you pressure cook in, so it reduces the number of pots and pans you need to cook your meal." —S. Coffrey

Not only can it cook food up to 70% faster than traditional cooking methods, it can basically turn any dish into crispy, air-fried goodness. For example, you can use the pressure cook setting to whip up casseroles, stews, chilis, and desserts and then give it a crispy or bubbly layer of your favorite topping using the air fry setting. You can also throw in frozen foods (like chicken wings or mozzarella sticks) directly without having to thaw them out first. Of course, if you're not in the mood for fried food, you can always use it as a regular pressure cooker or slow cooker!
Promising review: "This thing has changed the way we cook. It is amazing. You can cook practically anything in it. I find it great for cooking side dishes while your main dish is in the oven (e.g., making roasted potatoes while you have a meat dish cooking at low temp in the oven). You can rapidly air fry french fries, tots, toasted ravioli, crab rangoon, etc. This thing is incredible. Over 19K reviews and it gets 5 stars. What are you waiting for?" —MachMyDay

Promising review: "Love these sooo much I bought three! I use them to hold rice, homemade breadcrumbs, and coconut flour. The caps make a nice airtight lid and they're very convenient to use, always right where I need them to be. The sizing on the bin itself is a little tall, so I store these lying down in my cabinets, otherwise, they don't fit. If you are looking for something to store your grains/powders/crumbs/seeds/cereal/whatever in, these bins are AWESOME." —Chris

Promising review: "There's nothing but good coming from this pan! Yummy crunchy edges on every piece! I made three different kinds of lasagna in this pan and all I can say is that there were already plans for the next batch before this one was gone! This pan is heavy duty, has an awesome nonstick coating, and will definitely stand up to much use. The recipe called for spraying the pan with nonstick spray but it was completely unnecessary. I've already suggested this pan to others." —srenee

Promising review: "These claws are just what you need for shredding pork, chicken, beef, or any other items. The points are sharp, narrow, and long, and work well as a pair. It's much more efficient and quicker than using two forks. Even when I buy pulled pork from Trader Joe's and it's already 'pulled,' this is an excellent tool for really shredding it properly. I thought I might have been a little extravagant in ordering this, but now I realize it is very useful beyond shredding, e.g., holding a watermelon with one hand/claw as you cut with the other hand." —J. Renfrow

Promising review: "This sushi kit is awesome. Such a game changer for making sushi at home. It has everything you need to make some quality rolls better than a restaurant. It has been a lifesaver during the pandemic when I need to get my sushi fix!! The knife is really sharp, and the avocado slicer is key!! Highly recommended!!!" —sasha

Promising review: "I used this for the first time last night for dinner. We fried some chicken and I’m so glad I had this!! Cooking with some bigger bone-in thighs, this definitely came in handy. Extremely quick and accurate. When you unfold the thermometer it automatically turns on and turns off when you fold it back, and it provides the current temperature reading as soon as you insert. Best investment! I almost forgot to mention it comes with a three-year warranty after you register within 30 days of your purchase!" —Corinna

Promising review: "First off, I was surprised at how much oil you could put in the larger container. Secondly, my favorite feature and the whole reason I bought this was because of the nondrip spout. True to its name, it seems like every drop comes off cleanly. I have yet to have it drip down the side of the container. Pretty great product thus far." —Alex M.

This pie bird is safe for the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler, and dishwasher!
Promising review: "Amazing what difference this bird can make to your pie! I definitely made the best apple pie I've ever made with this little device. For the first time ever, my pie did not spill out juices onto the pan below or into the stove, and the crust was flaky and crisper than it has ever been. I really cannot speak highly enough of how well this pie bird worked. If you make pies, you need one of these!" —Happylakedreamer

It has a 2-cup capacity and is dishwasher safe and BPA free. The silicone disk inside acts as a squeegee and scrapes off any leftover residue. It also comes apart completely for thorough cleaning.
Promising review: "This is the greatest kitchen tool ever! I cook and bake often and was forever having to first dig for then clean endless numbers of measuring cups; I actually had three sets. No more though. I just need this one extremely well-made adjustable measuring cup. It works perfectly for me for all kinds of things such as flour, butter, syrups, dressings, oils, etc. If I am baking, I will first use it to measure the dry items. I then just wipe it out with a paper towel and measure out the butter, etc. This way involves less washing. The suction is as effective as day one, and the units of measure on it are clear and not at all faded." —Gabriella W.
