    If You Spend Too Much Time In The Kitchen, Don't Sleep On These 25 Time-Saving Target Products

    Meal prep somehow just got a even easier.

    1. A 3-in-1 avocado tool that will slice and dice everyone's favorite fruit (vegetable? toast condiment?) in record time so you don't have to get your hands all avocado-y.

    2. A Bluetooth meat thermometer and app combo to keep an eye on your food from virtually anywhere in the house! The app corresponds with the digital thermometer so you don't have to waist time monitoring your meats and can focus on prepping the sides while they cook.

    3. A set of meat-shredding claws because sometimes two forks just don't cut it. These will give you a lot more control and cover more surface area to tear into your meat quickly and efficiently.

    4. A fat separator and oil strainer that can help make your meal prep quicker. It simply separates the fat from liquids, then you can dispense the new-and-improved oils and gravies straight from it.

    5. A mandoline so you cut your vegetables, not your fingers. You can chop at chef's speed without worrying about your fingertips! It has 30+ preset cutting widths and can adjust manually, and even comes with a catch-all container.

    6. A clip-on strainer — it not only will save you time, but it'll also save you dishes. Use this so you don't have to take a full-sized strainer out of the cabinet, pour the noodles over it, then pour the noodles back into the pot, and yada yada yada.

    7. A bread slicer cutting guide because we all know the main attraction of every meal is the bread, so you may as well get it ready as quickly as possible.

    8. A garlic slicer and grater since mincing always seems to be the most time-consuming part of dinner prep. Or is that just for me?

    9. A salad spinner to rinse and drain your favorite leafy greens in seconds. The basket doubles as a colander and the base has a no-slip grip to make sure it doesn't spin out of control. Picture this: a spinning top toy, but with lettuce flying everywhere.

    10. An electric can opener because it takes all the manual labor out of getting into a can of peas. It should cut a solid 30 seconds or so out of prep time too which doesn't sound like a lot but it will make a big difference!

    11. A cake pop pan if you're a baker just looking to make your cake pop journey less time-consuming. This pan literally bakes the batter into balls for you! You can make a dozen at a time, and it comes with 24 pop sticks.

    12. A 16-inch pizza cutter to slice across the entire pie because that's true luxury. No more wimpy roller that you have to use in the same spot over and over again.

    13. A spiralizer because it takes all the time and leg work out of making your own veggie noodles. Simply put your produce in and push!

    14. A batter dispenser that'll crank out pancakes quicker than your kids can nag you for them. This one holds about 2.5 cups of batter to make crepes, donuts, waffles, you name it.

    15. A wooden cookbook holder for propping up your favorite recipes so you can stop contorting your neck to check how much tarragon to use. Your books will also take up much less space this way, saving you a little time by keeping you from moving things around on the counter every time you need to refer to the cookbook.

    16. And a recipe box with dividers, because flipping through every card aimlessly just isn't it. The organized tabs will guide you exactly where you need to go to find grandma's blueberry pie recipe.

    17. An onion chopper that'll cut whatever you need in one swift motion. The container at the base catches everything and even has measurement guides for up to two cups. Save your tears and your time with this little kitchen tool!

    18. An electric knife — it basically does all the cutting for you with the click of a button but it also comes with a carving fork and a storage case.

    19. An herb-cutting tool to create the perfect garnish with minimal time and effort. It's got an ergonomic handle and a 90-degree blade for some easy wrist action.

    20. An air fryer with dual baskets so you can cook two things at once! This one can air fry, dehydrate, roast, broil, bake, air boil, AND reheat so you basically just need this and only this.

    21. Or an air fryer oven that will basically cook your entire meal at the same time and can also toast your bread. It'll even cook a small pizza! This is ideal for foods that need to sit upright while cooking, while the previous one works best for finger foods that you can just toss in.

    22. A brownie pan with a cutter so you can slice an entire pan of baked goods at once. Never again will you carve the brownies to oblivion with a butter knife just trying to get a perfect square. This grid-tool takes the guesswork and leg work out of serving perfect gooey goodies.

    23. A meatloaf pan with an insert to quickly and easily remove your loaf after cooking it.

    24. An electric knife sharpener that takes the time and grunt work out of sharpening kitchen knives because unfortunately, we need to do that occasionally.

    25. A nonstick pan and slicer set that has a cutting guideline grid around the pan to create the perfect piece in no time. Your pies, quiches, cakes, and all can finally be evenly served directly out of what you cooked them in.
