Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it has some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe.

5. A nifty Oxo Tot Grape Cutter that'll save you time as it cuts a grape into safe, bite-sized pieces in about one second flat. Gone are the days of tediously trying to cut an individual grape only for it to slip and go flying off the counter.
See why one parent on TikTok loves it! Note that Amazon currently only carries the grape cutter in blue.
Oh, and it's not just for grapes! It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, berries, olives, and many reviewers say it works on a variety of fruits!
Promising review: "When we went to search Amazon for 'grape cutters,' I was worried that we may have hit rock bottom. It doesn't get more simple than slicing a freaking grape. I mean it's not difficult, doesn't take an enormous amount of time, and isn't even really that inconvenient (at least no more than cutting any other toddler food)...yet, my wife and I found ourselves dreading the process every time our daughter wanted a handful of grapes. We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. I only take time to write reviews on products that I feel are truly worth my time to endorse, and this little gadget was more than worthy. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you won't regret it." —Michael
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
6. Or a stainless-steel multipurpose slicer designed to cut up so many small ingredients into perfectly uniform, thin pieces with just one motion. You can use this for strawberries, hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, kiwis...pretty much anything that can fit in the base!
Check out this cool gadget on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I’ve used many slicers in my life (I’m 60+), and can say without hesitation that this far surpasses any regular slicer. It is well constructed and very sturdy. This slicer needs to be hand-washed so take care when cleaning it because the blades are sharp and could cut someone in a hurry. I recommend rinsing it off real well right after using the slicer if you aren’t washing it right away. We eat a lot of strawberries, mushrooms, kiwi, etc. and I have been able to make quick work with this slicer cutting 4lbs of strawberries in just five minutes.....it’s a breeze! I highly recommend this to anyone that gets frustrated using slicers with flimsy wires to cut hard boiled eggs, berries, you name it, you’ll be 100% satisfied with your purchase!" —JJTBQ
Get it from Amazon for $23.09.
7. A set of silicone egg rings so you can create perfectly round eggs that stack impeccably well into a breakfast sandwich. Reviewers have also used this for pancakes, too!
Check out this TikToker using the silicone mold to make an egg for a breakfast sandwich here!
Promising review: "I’m so glad I bought these! They are so easy to use. I’m in no way a cook or anything so I have no idea if I’m using them properly but it made a perfectly round egg! I heated up the pan first then put the egg ring in the pan with the smaller ring on the bottom. Then I cracked the egg in it. When the egg was set. I lifted the ring and the perfect round egg stayed in the pan. The size of the egg would be perfect for sandwiches too. You can also use the egg rings for pancakes! The ring is super easy to hand wash (we don’t have a dishwasher)." — Willow

9. A Yonanas fruit soft serve maker — why not stock up on delicious seasonal fruit and make tasty soft serve out of it?! You'll get creamy ice cream made with your favorite fruit flavors — and yes, all you need is frozen fruit to make it!
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $32.70+ (available in six colors).

Check out this fun lil gadget on TikTok here!
Promising review: "This thing is a time and egg saver. We own a bed and breakfast hotel and a number of our menu items and baked goods of our require separating eggs. This little frog gets the job done efficiently and prevents the waste that happens when the yolk breaks. Plus, it's just plain fun to use in the morning. Wish it were a but easier to clean, but otherwise, a great purchase." — SR
Get it from Amazon for $13.90 (available in three designs).

Watch someone make a homemade PSL using the frother on TikTok!
Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase by far. I have coffee every morning and this little bad boy has changed my life forever! My coffee went from McDonald’s to Starbucks. It’s super affordable and I bought two, one to foam up my coffee and the second to whip up my eggs when scrambled, and it works amazingly. I love it so much, I bought my parents one, and they actually threw it inside a pot of water where it stayed for about an hour before we realized it, and we took it out assuming it was done…this bad boy turned right on like it was nothing. It’s durable and just amazing. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would." —Tanya Medal
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 38 styles).
12. An airtight "Bread Buddy" dispenser that will keep your bread fresh for way longer than just leaving it on your kitchen counter and hoping for the best. It also creates a clever way for you to dispense your bread a slice at a time, and the airtight container will prevent your loaf from getting smushed.
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
Promising review: "I first saw one of these at my daughter's house and thought it was really interesting because I’m always in a battle with my youngest son over how he puts the twist tie back on the bread sack. I can never figure out how to untwist it because he has it twisted all the way to the end of the tie! I got home after seeing hers and ordered myself one. I like that as you use the bread, you just pull the bag down the side of this container and the slices of bread will remain at the top of the container making it incredibly easy to get what you need and just put the top back on and make sure it seals up. That’s it and your bread will stay fresh and not end up lost or smashed in the pantry!" —DDR
Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two colors).
13. A downright magical veggie chopper 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.
Watch someone effortlessly chop a bunch of vegetables with it on TikTok!
Promising review: "Best chopper I've used! It's super sturdy, cutting onions especially is super easy, even though they have a really hard and waxy skin. My Vidalia chopper failed in less than five uses. And it took so much strength and pressure from me to chop the onions. The blades were blunt. This chopper is the answer to my prayers. The blades are super sharp, and because of this, they have safety features too! Everything can come apart easily, and put back together. So putting it in the dishwasher takes no effort!" —SummerBreeze
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors.
14. A natural peanut butter stirrer so you don't make a big ole mess the next time you open a jar of natural peanut butter and need to stir the oil in.
Check out a TikTok of the natural peanut butter stirrer in action.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing!! I’ve been stirring my Kirkland natural peanut butter with a knife before this and it just wasn’t working. The top was super oily and by the time I got to the bottom of the jar the peanut butter was super hard. I have been eyeballing this stirrer for a while and now I wish I had bought it sooner! It is easy to use and perfectly stirs the oil throughout the jar. I’m halfway through my jar of peanut butter after using this and it is the perfect consistency. If you eat a lot of natural peanut butter just buy this!" —Amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.25.

He was definitely skeptical at first but now it's his favorite kitchen item! 😂 I highly suggest this to anyone who wants noodles done fast! It does its job and the container stays cool enough to not hurt you when removed from the microwave. Every kitchen should have one of these for lazy days!" —Parker Rease

16. A pineapple corer if you love chowing down on the tasty tropical fruit but truly hate how hard it is to cut it up at home! This will separate the core from the good stuff, which you can leave as pineapple rings or use the included wedger to create chunks! It'll taste *so* much better than the pre-cut stuff!
Check out this product in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "A great tool to get all the good pineapple without the muss of a machete. Our grandkids loved watching Gramma do the job. Fresh pineapple is so much better than store cut-up fruit. Plus it leaves an empty pineapple to serve cut up fruit or even fruity adult beverages. Don't let the plastic parts fool you. So far it is sturdy. Go have fun!" —Steven Schwartz
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
17. An "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.

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 $32.18.
18. A bagel guillotine that's as useful as it is fun to use. This will give you a perfectly clean slice with one solid movement downward with the pointed blade, and it's WAY safer than using a knife. Might as well call all your friends over when this arrives in the mail — you're having a bagel party!
Promising review: "My boyfriend can’t cut bagels. He literally butchers these poor baby bagels all up. I saw this on a TikTok and I was like oh we need that. So I bought it. And it was a good investment. Now we can enjoy nicely sliced bagels that fit in a toaster and aren’t jagged across. Yay bagel slicer!" —Ci DiPalma
Get it from Amazon for $20.87+ (available in four colors).
19. 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.

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 $9.95 (available in five colors).

Each set comes with a tablespoon, teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, and 1/4 teaspoon.
Promising review: "I LOVE them! I do not have any issues with the content of the spoon spilling while I use it. I gently press the level several times to clear everything off the top and it's perfect. It's absolutely not a necessity in the kitchen but it's keeps it simple and I'm not dirtying a knife to use as a level. Great invention." —Amherst Mom
Get a set from Amazon for $14.95.
21. 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.
Check it out in action TikTok here!
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 $152.97+ (available in black or white).
22. An over-the-sink dish drying rack to save precious counter space. Plus: it can be rolled up when it's not in use so you can utilize all of your sink.
See it in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok and I’m so glad I did! I hate having things on my counters that don’t belong. I have a dishwasher but I have some things (like most everyone) that aren’t dishwasher safe. I love that I can just roll this out and dry my dishes over the sink. The fact that air is able to get to all sides allows dishes like cups and bowls to actually get dry. Prior to this I was using a drying mat next to my sink, but I was always having to towel dry items that had been sitting out “drying” for hours. Even my husband is impressed. He has told me multiple times it was such a good buy!" —Sheri
Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in eight sizes).
23. An ice cream maker in the shape of a ball that transforms the usually tedious act of creating homemade ice cream into a fun game. All you have to do is pour all of your ingredients into the ball (plus ice and rock salt, of course) and then you just roll around the ball for about 30 minutes and you'll have a perfectly creamy dessert! We think this would be a HIT if you have any kids in the house!
Check this cool gadget out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "This was super fun to make! It was pretty hard to get the ice cream out of the ball....probably should have opened it halfway and scrapped it away from the sides. Oh well, next time! I’m sure it will be well used. I used half and half, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and Nutella. It was delicious! The ball itself was fun to roll and shake for 30 minutes and super easy to clean." —Janet Upton
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
24. A set of bag sealers because nothing's worse than going to grab some of your favorite chips as a lil snack and realizing the chips have already gone stale thanks to an improperly closed bag. This handy device uses heat to reseal any open bag so the contents stay as fresh as the day you got them.
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. Believe it or not, I saw this on TikTok as an 'Amazon product you didn’t know you needed'. Since my older sons are on their own at college, they eat a lot of pre-packaged items. So we got one for each boy as a stocking stuffer. They were actually excited to try them out so the boys went in our pantry, opened new bags of chips and crackers just to re-seal them. Lol! It works pretty good for such a small device. The cutter even works so the bags that are mostly empty aren’t as big and don’t take up as much room. My husband wants one for our house now. Guess we’re getting another one." —Can7
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.42+ (available in three colors).
25. An immersion blender so you can make delicious smoothies in the morning or blend soups right in the pan, all without the annoying cleanup a traditional blender requires. This also comes with a food processor attachment, a whisk attachment, and a milk frother attachment, so it's like getting four tools in one!
Check out a TikToker use this immersion blender to make a milkshake here!
Promising review: "The easiest, small appliance kitchen gadget. I use it all the time for smoothies, mayonnaise, guacamole, and salsa. The best thing about this product is the cleanup takes two minutes or less." —davidh5991
Get it from Amazon for $28.52.
26. 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.
I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it (I like mine medium-boiled 🍳). If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!
Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in eight colors).
27. A chic minimalist fruit bowl/colander that not only looks super stylish and minimalistic on your counter but can also be used as a colander to wash your fruit. We love a multitasker!
Check out a TikTok of the colander in action.
The bottom comes off whenever you want to use it as a colander.
Promising review: "I love the way this looks on my counter. It is sturdy and holds all the fruit that I purchase in a week just perfectly." —Jami Lively
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
28. A pickle keeper and juice strainer because no one likes to plunge their fingers into brine to fish out a pickle slice. Whenever you're ready to chow down, you can just flip the strainer over and all the juice will drain to the bottom section, leaving your pickles juice-free and ready to nom.
Check out a TikTok of the pickle juice strainer in action.
Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $11.65+ (available in three styles, two sizes, and with or without a pair of tongs).
29. A space-saving, compact Ninja Foodi 2-in-1 Flip Toaster that must have been designed by geniuses. You can use it like a regular toaster with toast, bagels, and English muffins, but then you can flip it on its side and it turns into a toaster oven so you can make things like grilled cheese or nachos without making a mess.
Check out a TikTok of the flip toaster in action.
Promising review: "This toaster has become a must-have in my kitchen. Want a grilled cheese? Throw it in at 350 for eight minutes and come back when the timer is done! Want pizza rolls? 350 for 10 and then they’re done. This thing is so convenient and I love it when a device can do two or more things in one small package. Highly recommend!" —Ryan Chrum
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
30. A glass/bottle rinse if you find yourself washing dozens of cups and baby bottles a day and you just want to make it easier! You'll find it so satisfying that you can just press your upside-down glass onto this and watch the water shoot up and rinse away any remnants of what was there before!
Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. Just a heads up, you'll need a separate sprayer in your sink that you don't use because that's where it installs, and this won't install on sinks without a flat edge!
Promising review: "Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" —Gayla Brink
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in two styles).
31. A set of gravity-activated grinders that automatically deliver freshly ground salt or pepper whenever you tip it over. That's literally all the effort required! Plus it has a blue light so you can easily see exactly where you're seasoning.
Watch this TikToker use these automatic grinders while cooking here!
Promising review: "These are really beautiful and add the exact touch of copper I was looking for in my space. When using, the end lights up blue which is very cool gives them a modern feel. They feel heavy and solid, including the clear receptacle that holds the salt/pepper." —Pink Dragon
Get the set of two from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors as well as a single grinder).

33. A portable personal blender that doesn't even need a plug to work (it's rechargeable!) so you can take this with you to make a filling, nutritious morning smoothie at work, post-gym, or basically anywhere you want! It's also great for small kitchens that don't have the counter space for a big bulky blender.
Check out this TikToker use this blender on the go here!
Promising review: "I’m a teacher so we get a short lunch break, so I make my smoothie on the way to work and I’m good all day! If I get hungry I just bring any extra fruits or protein powder and tada!!!! The reasons I chose this blender versus others were that it holds 5 to 6 more ounces of food items or liquids than the other one I was committed to buying, it comes with a small silicone ice tray that make the perfect size cubes and also comes with a silicone funnel to help with powder messes, and it charges with a USB cord! I also love that there are measurements on the bottle itself which detaches from the base and comes with a cap that has a carry handle! And cleanup! OMG...just add a little dishwashing soap, blend and let dry upside down!!!!" —Trish
