We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their favorite kitchen gadgets. Get ready, because here are the (amazing) answers!
1. A compact air fryer that proves you don't have to completely give up fried food to eat healthier. Air fryers are Twitter's favorite kitchen appliance for a reason.
2. A garlic twist because mincing garlic is annoying and this gets the job done in seconds. Reviewers say it puts garlic pressers to shame.
3. A julienne peeler to remove razor thin slivers of fruits and veggies with ease. If you're not into eating the skin, definitely invest in this.
4. A set of stainless steel cookware that comes with the only pot and pan you'll need to make every kind of dish. It heats up quickly and evenly, plus it's dishwasher safe!
5. A splurge-worthy chef's knife that's so good, it'll make your existing knives look like they cut with plastic.
6. An ergonomic can opener — it's easy on the joints, a truly amazing feat if you've ever used a can opener. PLUS, it has a built-in magnet lid lift.
7. A compact manual food chopper that lowkey looks like a lawnmower that cuts onions, peppers, cauliflower, and other things that aren't grass.
8. A veggie spiralizer that makes eating zucchini, squash, carrots, and other typically boring foods 10 times more fun.
9. An Instant Pot – it pretty much does it all. Finally, they can use a single pot to make soups, stews, sautees, meats, steamed veggies, and even warm up food. Anyone living in a small space will appreciate a tool that will replace seven appliances — save kitchen space and 💰.
10. A sous vide precision cooker that cooks food in a vaccuum sealed bag to maximum tenderness for peak flavor. Reviewers loved how easily they could adjust the temperature.
11. An electric kettle to boil water in minutes without having to fire up the stove or turn on the microwave.
12. An apple divider for those who prefer thin, dippable slices over biting into whole fruit.
13. A covered cake pan so genius, it has a guideline grid on the edge to make sure everything is cut evenly.
14. A handheld pot strainer for draining the pasta without having to dirty up a whole other appliance. Bonus: it's easy to handle, wash, and store.
15. A manual food chopper because it's ten times easier to use than a fork when it comes to mashing potatoes, seasoning meats, and making baby food.
16. A fish spatula that SpongeBob would totally drool over. I can't think of a better way to lift soft cookies, burgers, and more.
17. A nonstick baking mat so you can keep your counters clean whilst channeling the spirit of Buddy the Cake Boss.
18. A garlic press and peeler set because the less you have to touch garlic, the less you'll smell like it two days after you finished cooking.
19. An 8-cup food processor to prepare hummus, purees, salsas, and more in no time — thanks to its 350 watt engine. It's got a tube so you can easily add ingredients as the recipe calls for them, without making a mess.
20. And a rotating oven that will ensure your pizzas are evenly cooked every single time without having to turn on the oven.
You, after testing out the new sous vide cooker:
