1. A air fryer cooking cheat sheet magnet to keep on your fridge so you know exactly how long to cook every kind of food instead of just shoving it in the basket and hoping for the best.
And you don't have an air fryer yet, here's a highly rated one with a 4-quart capacity!
First-Rate Gifts is an LA-based small business that sells cooking cheat sheets so you can easily reference cooking times for frequently made ingredients.
Promising review: "Wonderful, exactly what I needed and close at hand. Fits nicely on my refrigerator!" —Lucia C Creech
Get it from First-Rate Gifts on Etsy for $19.99 (available in seven colors).
2. A 3D-printed spaghetti measure if you always end up boiling enough pasta to feed a family of 10. It's especially great if you just want to whip up enough for yourself and not be stuck with loads of leftovers!
Fabberforge is a Nebraska-based, veteran-owned, family-run small business that specializes in 3D-printed home decor and gadgets.
Promising review: "I got a few of these as stocking stuffers (including one for myself!) and I found it to be incredibly accurate. I never know how much pasta to make for meals and always over or under estimate so when I saw this product, I knew I had to have it. I've loved using it for the past couple of months and they were a hit with my family, too." —Amanda Griffiths
Get it from Fabberforge on Etsy for $7 (available in 10 colors).
3. An Instant Pot aka the true MVP of any kitchen. This 7-in-1 kitchen gadget acts as a rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, warmer, and you can sauté in it. It's almost like there's a teeny-tiny private chef hiding in this thing magically whipping up tasty recipes!
This handy kitchen gadget has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer!
Promising review: "I love my Instant Pot. I own a traditional pressure cooker that I rarely used because I felt like I needed to constantly watch it, so I was reluctant to invest in an Instant Pot. I am so glad I did. I have used it at least twice a week since I bought it and sometimes three or four times. I have done everything from cook hard-boiled eggs to cook ribs to bake a cheesecake. I almost never use my other slower cooker, because I can brown meat right in the Instant Pot and use the slow cooker setting. My most used accessories are the steamer basket ($17.41), springform pan ($14.88), extra liner ($19.99) and extra sealing ring ($8.95). The least used is the hard-boiled egg steamer rack ($17.66; the steamer basket holds a lot more and is easier to use). If my Instant Pot died tomorrow, I would feel certain that I had more than gotten my money's worth and immediately buy another." —mickey
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three sizes).
4. A set of angled measuring cups so you don't have to bring the cup up to eye level or bend down to see how much you've poured in. Why didn't I think of this?!
It makes cooking and baking so much easier, and your measurements will be more accurate! The set comes with 1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup angled measuring cups.
Promising review: "This is a very inventive design for something that cooks use every day. I originally purchased the 2-cup model of the Oxo measuring cup and liked it so much that I decided to buy the set. These are so much more usable than the Pyrex or Anchor traditional glass measuring cups because they so much easier to read. I have some Anchor measuring cups that are 20+ years old and the red markings have faded and are really hard to see. Since the Oxo can be read from the top, the measuring cup can rest on the counter for accurate measurement. No more holding it up in the air like a mad scientist measuring out liquids! Even the rubberized handle is well designed. Since these are made from clear plastic, they are very lightweight. The handle goes all the way to the counter to stabilize the measuring cup. It's very well thought out." —Bocaboy
Get the set from Amazon for $23.95.
5. A rapid egg cooker for easily whipping up your preferred style of eggs. If you're a big fan of breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!) you absolutely need this in your life.
You can cook up to six eggs at a time. Make hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, or individual omelets in a matter of minutes!
Promising review: "If you eat hard-boiled eggs often this is absolutely 100% worth the money just for that. Eggs come out perfect every time. No green rings. No rubbery whites. Easy to peel every time. It's easy, faster than boiling water, and every egg turns out the same. Makes other kinds of eggs too, and according to the booklet you can steam veggies and other things in it too. But OMG even if you only ever used it for hard-boiled eggs it's worth it. I don't think I've ever given a product 5 stars like this before. Also, skeptics: Yes, I know boiling eggs isn't hard. It's the consistent results with even less effort that's remarkable." –Crockery
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in eight colors).
6. Or a delightful singing egg timer that will *actually* serenade you when your egg has reached a certain level of doneness in the boiling water. It has three different melodies that indicate whether it's soft, medium, or hard boiled. Say it with me...eggscellent!
Brainstream is a small biz that was started by German engineer and inventor Dr. Rupprecht Gabriel, who was ~fed up~ with eating improperly cooked eggs in the morning!
Promising review: "I bought one of these several years ago and have enjoyed it so much I purchased more for friends and family. It's very accurate. You just put it in the water with the eggs and it plays three tunes, one for soft-boiled, one for medium, and one for hard-boiled. Each tune plays three times. For instance, if you want hard-boiled eggs, you listen for 'Hail Hail the Gang's All Here' to play for the third time, and the eggs will be perfectly hard-boiled. It's the most accurate egg timer I've ever had." —LM
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
7. A TikTok-beloved "Adjust-A-Cup" measuring cup you can push up to dispense every last drop of oil, peanut butter, or any other viscous, sticky substance that's impossible to get out of a normal measuring cup. You can adjust this to measure everything from 1/8 cup to 2 cups as well as teaspoon and tablespoon measurements. AND it also has markings for ounce and millimeter measurements so you can use this with liquid as well!
Check out a TikTok of the Adjust-A-Cup in action.
Promising review: "You can't beat this for measuring things like honey and molasses. No more wasting what you can't get out of a regular measuring cup and wondering what the effect of all that stuff left behind is on the accuracy of your measuring." —Herman Ross
Get it from Amazon for $23.88.
8. A Home Chef subscription for anyone who wants to cook at home more but gets intimidated trying to figure out the amount of ingredients they'll need for a recipe. They'll deliver the exact amount of each ingredient you'll need plus an easy-to-follow recipe so you can leave all the stress of cooking behind and focus on the delicious homemade meal you're about to have!
This meal kit subscription offers gluten-free, dairy-free, meatless, calorie-conscious, and carb-conscious meals, so whatever your dietary preferences are, they'll have something for you!

Promising review: "Excellent flavors, easy to make, good variety of meals, arrive fresh and correctly prepared every time. Couldn't be more pleased. Has saved me time and money during the busy weekdays!" —Jessica
Get it from Home Chef for $6.99+/per serving.
9. A popular microwave pasta cooker to make whipping up a yummy bowl of noodles somehow even easier?! All you have to do is place the container with the pasta and water in the microwave, and in a few minutes they'll be ready to eat!
The water drains straight out of the maker, so no need to dirty a colander!
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 cleanup 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
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
10. A small but effective rice cooker that can also steam meat and veggies at the same time it makes the fluffiest rice you've ever had in your life. Nothing like whipping up your entire meal with just one gadget!
Promising review: "Rice cookers are fantastic. I used to cook rice in a pot and I would invariably make subpar rice. This rice cooker makes fantastic rice, my only recommendation would be to use stock (chicken or vegetable) instead of water to give the rice a lot of extra flavor. It does a really great job of cooking rice perfectly and consistently. You can't beat the price either." —JP
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in two styles).
11. A cutting board with measurements etched into it to get a perfectly even chop every time.
Promising review: "My husband IS the obsessive chef! He is always very precise and careful in his cutting. If a recipe calls for dicing potatoes into 1-inch chunks...that is what he will do. I really bought this for him as a joke because of how precise he is, but he LOVED it. He truly uses the gridlines and the measurements to accurately dice his food. Additionally, its a nice lightweight cutting board. If you know a perfectionist chef, this is a GREAT gift idea." —TJ Callahan
Get it from Amazon for $23.60.
12. Or a versatile chop, slice, and dice unit with the power to cut up all your ingredients in the fraction of the time it would take you to use a regular knife. No more trying to use your knife to get uniform pieces of veggies only to end up with peppers of....many different sizes.
This unit comes with three interchangeable chopping blades, three grater blades, and two slicer blades. It also comes with holding containers to house all the blades, a cleaning fork, and a safety holder.
Promising review: "I LOVE this item. It is a massive time saver, is easy to use and clean, and is a durable as any product I have seen. It makes quick work of dicing onions and veggies, and the multiple slicers are simple and efficient for everything you need to slice or grate. The entire unit stores in a very small space and is intuitive and simple to use and takes the place of 3 to 4 single items. The storage/collection base is a huge plus and keeps the entire process clean and easy to access and save into any other containers. I would recommend this product to anyone who even uses it once a month, but I find you will find a use for it almost daily. Great product!" —Kevin P
Get it from Amazon for $29.87.
13. An adjustable measuring spoon so you don't have to dirty a million different utensils whenever you're trying to measure out your ingredients.
This can measure wet ingredients from 1 ml up to 15 ml and dry ingredients from ¼ tsp up to 1 tbsp.
Promising review: "One measuring spoon to replace several......how can you go wrong? The two pieces are completely separate so you can wash it thoroughly! Pleased with my purchase and the amount of room it just freed up in my drawer!" —zonneschijn
Get it from Amazon for $7.95.
14. A digital food thermostat to take the guesswork out of the age-old question, "Is this meat fully cooked?!" Not only will you prevent everyone from getting food poisoning, but you'll also end up with a delicious meal that is perfectly cooked at exactly the right temperature.
Promising review: "I bought this initially for baking prime rib, but my wife uses it all the time when she bakes chicken. It takes the guessing game out of baking and you know you are getting a cooked piece of meat without having to cut into it and letting all the juices escape." —Abe
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors).
15. Or this super-precise meat thermometer with wireless Bluetooth capability that connects to an app on your phone. You select the exact way you want your meat to turn out on the app, and it'll tell you the temperature it needs to reach and the approximate time it'll be ready. But you don't even really need to memorize those numbers — it'll alert you the second it reaches the right temperature!
Unlike many other meat thermometers, you can leave this probe in the entire time you're roasting the meat in the oven.
Promising review: "Much more precise and convenient than the wired and probe thermometers I already have in my kitchen. I love the convenience of being able to leave the thermometer in the oven (can't with the regular plastic probe) and not having to mess around with wires. The wireless thermometer is also a lot safer especially when handling hot and heavy cast iron pans (like when roasting chicken and potatoes) and with a toddler rampaging about in the kitchen. It's a beautiful product. Waaaay better looking than the others that I have. The UI in the app is sleek and easy to use too." —Emel
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
16. A "Burger Master" if all of your homemade burger patties end up misshapen and of varying size (no one wants a teeny tiny patty on their burger!) This will press out the ground beef into eight uniform quarter-pounded patties that you can use right away or pop into the freezer (right in the same container!) for later use.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this and saw it on TikTok. Much to my surprise this is awesome. It truly makes perfect burgers and they come out of the tray easily. I highly recommend this for fresh burgers." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $33.57.
17. A baking mat that acts as a nonslip, nonstick surface for you to easily roll out your dough. It has measurements so you can shape your dough to exactly the diameter you need.
Promising review: "I have had my eye on a large silicone mat like this for a while. I came upon this mat and for the price it’s unbeatable. This mat has a quality to it that is just as good if not better than more expensive brands. I wouldn’t think twice about getting this mat if you’re a baker. The quality is there and price is right. What more can you ask?" —Salvatore
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
18. A compact bread maker if you're itching to become a novice baker but want a little help achieving that perfect loaf. This powerful appliance can do so much — you can decide what kind of crust you want, you can add in mix-ins like fruit or nuts, and you can even whip up gluten-free bread.
Promising review: "My husband and I cannot stop baking. This arrived over a week ago and we have made two loaves or dough or jam daily! I can't speak for its longevity (I hope it's excellent, it seems sturdy!) but this puppy can crank out some delicious household staples. Pizza dough, fresh bread, *French* bread, bread with fruit or nuts, CAKE, and yes even JAM!! Amazing! It can tackle anything. Cleanup is ridiculously easy, just don't scratch the nonstick surface! The recipes need some tweaking to calibrate with your specific machine (I found that most needed more moisture), but some of the mistakes are still tasty! I was skeptical of the jam-making feature and ended up being extremely impressed." —Ether
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
19. Or a no-knead bread-making kit from Dough Dealer that comes with all the ingredients you need and the exact instructions to follow you'll need to follow to create a beautiful hand-crafted loaf. I see a Paul Hollywood handshake in your future. Star baker, indeed.
Each bread kit includes all-purpose and whole wheat flours, sea salt, extra virgin olive oil, baker's yeast, baking paper, and a recipe. Their ingredients are sourced from local and farmer-founded businesses around the US. The process takes 15 minutes of active work plus 3 hours 45 minutes resting, rising and baking.
Dough Dealer is a woman-owned small business that tested out hundreds of recipes to find the perfect recipe for their no-knead bread kit. They partner with small and farmer-founded companies, and they offer carbon-neutral shipping.
Promising review: "I have never tried making bread before — and am very inexperienced in the kitchen — so the idea that I was able to do it easily is a big credit to how amazing the Dough Dealer kit is. Very simple instructions (I struggle sometimes with other meal kit directions) and the bread tasted great!" —Marc
Get the bread kit from Dough Dealer for $25.99.
20. A Potato Express if you never know how long to bake your potatoes for and end up with a rock-hard, unappetizing spud. This can cook up to four potatoes in your microwave in just a few minutes, which means you'll get to the good part (aka topping it with cheese and bacon and chives and chowing down) faster.
21. A stainless-steel Black + Decker four-slice toaster oven that's sure to remind you of those after-school pizza rolls you made yourself before your parents came home from work. This takes way less time to heat up than a traditional oven, and you'll be able to see how done your meal is with just a quick glance.
Choose from four functions on the toaster oven: convection bake, broil, toast, or keep warm. It can easily fit a 9-inch pizza, four slices of bread, or a variety of other snacks and meals.
Promising review: "I love my toaster oven. It has a sleek stainless-steel design that goes perfectly with the decor I have in my apartment. The variety of settings makes it even better. This is why I chose to invest in a toaster oven instead of just a toaster. You can do SO much with it. I use it for toast/bagels, proteins (fish, chicken, etc.) and vegetables. It's also useful because I can avoid turning on the bigger oven which has a bigger impact on the power bill. I will say, it's not the easiest to clean (not the hardest either) because it's stainless steel, but if you buy a good cleaning product you're fine." —Claudi Padilla
Get it from Amazon for $50.29+ (available in two styles).
22. A salad dressing shaker you can use to make your own homemade vinaigrette using just one piece of equipment (aka less dishes!) It has measurements printed on the side, an airtight seal, and a one-handed lever so you can easily pour the dressing on your salad.
Promising review: "Best salad dressing shaker ever! This is really a great product if you like to make your own dressings. I find that many bottled dressings are too salty and full of preservatives as well. Making your own is embarrassingly easy and saves you money as well. The wide mouth makes it easy to add the oil, vinegar, etc. and it also has a handy rubber grip in case your hands are slippery! Never buy salad dressing again!" —Ella Dedman
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
23. A Crack'em egg cracker and spoon rest if you're always overestimating how much force you need to use when cracking your egg and end up with a shell-filled mess. Instead, you can crack your egg on the raised line of this dish and you'll get a perfectly clean break every. single. time! No more going through half the carton just to get *one* well-cracked egg.
Crack'em is a veteran-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in family-friendly kitchen accessories.
Check out a TikTok of the egg cracker in action.
Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors).
24. A genius Kitchen Cube with over 19 measurements so you're not shuffling through your drawer for the right spoon or cup every time you need to measure something. You can use this for both dry and wet ingredients, and it has both US and metric measurements — what can't this thing measure?!
It's made of BPA-free food grade material, has both US and metric measurements, and is dishwasher- and microwave-safe!
Kitchen Cube was founded in Minneapolis by a group of entrepreneurs who were tired of having a bunch of measuring tools cluttering up and getting lost in their drawers!
Promising review: "First of all I gotta say, I don’t cook much, and if there’s something I hate after cooking it's having to wash a bunch of utensils once I use them. This cube has been amazing; I don’t have to wash a million utensils over and over, it’s very easy to use, easy to clean, and it’s very handy to use when I’m meal prepping for the week. I bought this out of curiosity and ended up enjoying it a lot. If a regular guy like me is enjoying it, I’m sure it would be a great tool for people who cook or bake on a regular basis." —Daniel Matajira
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
25. An herb savor pod so you don't have to play the guessing game of "hmmm did my cilantro go bad after three days?!" every time you need to add herbs to your home-cooked meal. This is designed to *triple* the life of your fresh herbs, which means you'll most likely be able to use the whole bunch of herbs instead of throwing half of them away when they start to smell funky!
Promising review: "I use fresh herbs all the time. Too often they go bad before I finish them. I’ve tried multiple things to try to help them last longer to no avail. I bought fresh basil a week and a half ago. I immediately used a bit, then put them in this handy-dandy container. I changed the water once. Last night, I decided to make a little fresh pesto with the basil I had left. It was in perfect condition, and the pesto was amazing! Every kitchen needs at least one or two in it. I’m buying them for my daughter-in-law who also uses a lot of fresh herbs. She’s the gadget queen, so I know she’s going to love them." —Treese
Get it from Amazon for $17.07 (also available in a set of three).
26. A microwave rapid cake maker if just the idea of baking a cake seems too overwhelming. With this nifty tool, you can have a homemade cake in a matter of SIX MINUTES. Seriously! All you need is half a box of any regular grocery store cake mix plus the ingredients, and this thing does the rest!
Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable, BPA-free kitchen products.
Psst — people swear by this for dorms, studio apartments, and for safer, easier baking with kids!
Promising review: "I love this cake maker! It makes just the right size cake for our family of four. They’re not exactly like a cake fresh from the oven, but pretty darn close! My 12-year-old son loves to use it, so much so we make a cake on a weekly basis. Since each cake only requires a half a box of mix, we don’t have to store them for long. I think they taste much better than a mug cake and are almost as easy." —Clare
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
27. A Philips compact pasta maker that's so much easier than suffering through the traditional rolling out the dough by hand and cranking it through a manual pasta maker method. Instead, you just put all the ingredients in this machine, and it does all the work for you, delivering beautiful, tasty homemade pasta!
It comes with shaping discs for spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, pappardelle, tagliatelle, angel hair, and lasagna. Plus, there's an included recipe book for meal inspiration.
Promising review: "I was just as skeptical as you are. I, too, have been doing the old school — make the dough, roll it out, run it through a pasta machine, etc. — method. It's a production, all for AMAZING pasta. With this, you put the ingredients in, push a button, and watch for AMAZING pasta to be extruded. I had hoped I'd be able to multitask a bit more, but it extrudes so fast there isn't much time for other tasks between cutting it. But I think that seems reasonable. The other thing to consider is that you have to be VERY exact with the measurements of the ingredients. I've found weighing them works best. The recipes in the included book work great. Don't use other pasta recipes not developed for this machine unless you are up for some experimentation. The dough will be drier than the traditional method and has to be to feed through the auger and extrude properly. So it also does take a bit longer to cook than traditional fresh pasta, but when it's done it's that same amazing taste and texture!" —Conversio
Get it from Amazon for $152.94+ (available in black or white).
28. A set of foodie dice for anyone who loves to experiment in the kitchen but often has a mental block for figuring out what exactly to make. Instead of randomly throwing ingredients together and hoping for the best, roll these dice and chance will deliver you the ingredients and the cooking method you'll use. You'll be amazed at the creative dishes you'll whip up!
Two Tumbleweeds is an Arizona-based, sister owned Etsy shop established in 2014 that specializes in products for foodies and people who like to cook.
Each set includes five main dice (protein, cooking method, grain/carb, herb, bonus ingredient) and four seasonal veggie dice. All you gotta do is roll 'em up and send them scattering and they will decide what kind of meal you should try to prep. Bonus — these are all naturally gluten-free, if you or a foodie you love has any dietary restrictions!
Promising review: "Such a fun gift! My husband loved the idea and we already successfully made a dish!" —Kasia
Get it from Two Tumbleweeds on Etsy for $24.
29. A see-through toaster if you randomly pick a number on the toaster and hope for the best, only to get a piece of toast that's way more crispy than you wanted it. Now you can keep an eye on your toast through the windows on the side and take it out when it's reached the perfect color!
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS TOASTER! It makes great toast. I can’t believe that I’ve gotten so excited over a toaster. I haven’t been able to find a durable, reasonably priced toaster that could accommodate long slices or bagels, etc. Additionally, I have had to be gluten free for the last 10 years and gluten-free bread has to be carefully toasted in order to be good. All the toasters I have ever owned had those fragile, thin wires that heat up and glow to toast the bread. And when they broke, which they inevitably did, the bread toasted unevenly. THIS TOASTER has unique coils in the bottom, so that you would expect unevenly toasted bread. BUT NO! It’s the most perfectly toasted bread I’ve had in 30 years." —Byron Trist
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors).
30. A sleek oil dispenser with a measuring pump so you're not just pouring oil over your ingredients willy-nilly and hoping you're not overdoing it. Now, when the recipe says "drizzle with one tablespoon of oil," you'll just give this a few pumps till you reach the measurement and pour out of the same container!
To use, just hold the button until the oil in the measuring cup reaches the amount you need. Plus, it comes with an olive oil mister that'll help you get light, even coverage on your pans.
Promising review: "This product is easy to use and is the perfect addition to any kitchen! I love how easily I can measure out olive oil and how smoothly it comes out of the bottle. It is great for cooking or for drizzling over salads! Not only is it easy to use, but it also looks nice in the kitchen. Unlike a plastic olive oil bottle, this dispenser is a beautiful addition to my counter top. Also, for anyone who is interested in measuring out their olive oil without needing to constantly pull out a tablespoon, this is the perfect dispenser for you! The spray bottle is also great for cooking! I love that I know exactly what comes out of the spray bottle, rather than a store-bought spray bottle with additives. 10/10 would recommend!" —Clotilde D.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
31. A food scale if your recipe calls for a measurement in grams and you want to be as precise as possible. No more trying to convert grams to cups in your head — math can be tricky, but using this isn't!
Promising review: "This food scale is perfect for any kitchen! It's a great size and the lightweight, thin design makes it easy to store. It's also accurate and I've tested it out over the last three years I've owned it and it continues to be accurate. The scale is also pretty durable. Over the last three years, I have not been gentle with it, but it continues to work flawlessly. While mine is now scratched from heavy use, it came looking impeccable. I recommend!" —VIC
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors).
32. A kitchen measurement conversion magnet so you don't have to run to your phone with dirty hands every time you need to do a conversion in the middle of cooking or baking. This is especially helpful when you're halving or doubling a recipe!
Based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1620 Designs is a small biz making assorted laser-cut and engraved items for home and business use.
Promising review: "It's handy in my kitchen. Helps when I’m cooking and I have to include different measurements." —Scotty Tew
Get it from 1620 Designs on Amazon Handmade for $10.99.
33. A dough proofing box if you want to try your hand at making bread but don't know the proper way to proof your dough, which is the step in the process where you left the dough rise. This airtight container provides the perfect environment for great fermentation, which will result in more complex flavors and more chewiness.
Promising review: "This box works perfecty for proofing four to six pizza dough balls. It's light and compact so fits easily in the fridge. And the price was reasonable at under $30. Some reviewers have complained that it's not air tight, but it's as air tight as it needs to be to keep the dough from drying out, which is all it's supposed to do." —Fred Smith
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
34. A super fun sushi making kit with all the necessary tools to make your own delicious rolls. All you have to do is place all your ingredients in the bazooka-like device, push out the long roll, wrap it in a nori sheet, slice into pieces, and you're done! Grab those chopsticks and start eating!
Promising review: "This was so easy to use. Even the wrap was easy and I was only expecting to be able to use the bazooka. I’ve never made sushi before so it was super nice to have instructions with pictures inside and some really delicious recipes!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
35. A compact ice cream maker if you want to make homemade ice cream but all the methods you look up online seem way too complicated and result in way too much ice cream. With this, you'll chill the inner bowl overnight in the freezer, add your chilled ingredients, and then plug the device in and let it churn for half an hour. You'll have perfectly blended ice cream that you'll want to enjoy immediately!
Promising review: "Just right for two people. I highly recommend this little Dash ice cream maker. I have been making ice cream for years. I got a Cuisinart electric ice cream maker, and it makes a quart or so, effortlessly. Now, it's just my husband and me, and we can't eat a quart of ice cream by ourselves anymore! This Dash ice cream maker is perfect! It is like the kind where you freeze the metal inner part, but it is electric, so you don't have to do any cranking. So, wash and dry everything. Put the inner part of the Dash into the freezer (the plastic cup with the handle comes off, and doesn't need to be in the freezer); freeze it 12–24 hours. Then make your ice cream mixture.
