1. A ~super~ awesome Souper Cube if you're a certified batch cooker and want to make freezing leftovers much easier. Rather than defrosting one giant hunk of frozen soup, it'll be perfectly portioned so you'll have dinner ready ASAP!
Each tray has four fill lines — 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 125 mL, and 250 mL — which is ideal for people who like to portion their food.
Be sure to check out our Souper Cubes review for more deets!
You may remember Souper Cube from Shark Tank. (Lori invested in the company!) This small business was started by four friends who loved soup but hated food waste.
Promising review: "So happy that I found these. I’m the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it’s impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I’m ready for the next batch!" —Debbie R. Texas
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors and as a two-pack).
2. A combo air fryer and oven to change your cooking game in ways you never thought possible. It has 10 presets to choose from depending on what you're making. You can customize and save the time/temperature of any preset so it's always ready to use. No preheating required and it cooks your food up to 50% faster. Need I say more??
While you're at it, grab some reusable liners for easy cleanup!
Promising review: "We use this air fryer at least once every day for everything from reheating meals, to cooking meals, to baking. This air fryer is perfect for summers in the desert because it doesn't heat up the kitchen like the oven does, which is a BIG bonus! The size is perfect, it heats up quickly, cooks fast, and cleans easily. Love this appliance, and it is the most used one in our kitchen!" —Heddy J.
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two styles).
3. And a set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets because who wants to look up the exact cooking times for every single recipe? A quick glance at these and you'll have the info you need.
Promising review: "So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl
Get them from Amazon for $6.75+ (also available in white).
4. A genius veggie chopper, aka your soon-to-be kitchen sidekick thanks to its undying usefulness. Get ready to fall in love with meal prep again now that chopping is a breeze!
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors and four sizes).
5. An herb savor pod so you can stop experiencing the terrible heartbreak of tossing wilted herbs in the trash that you only just bought. You'll triple (!!!) the life of your herbs so you can actually use 'em.
Promising review: "I use fresh herbs all the time. Too often they go bad before I finish them. I’ve tried many 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 $20.40 (or a set of three for $30.91).
6. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker for whipping up a healthy, tasty treat in no time. Add your frozen ingredients of choice and you'll have yummy soft serve in minutes. What's not to love?
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 still cannot believe 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 $39.59.
7. A chic oil dispenser set that'll give your most-used cooking oils quite the aesthetically pleasing upgrade, if I do say so myself. 😍
This set also comes with a bamboo tray for the dispensers and 20 waterproof labels to choose from.
Promising review: "I love these dispensers. Not only are they the exact aesthetic I was looking for, but they function really well! The pours are consistent and the seals are great. The labels are easy to apply and are holding up really well." —TStan7291
Get a set of two from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three spout colors).
8. A vampire-shaped garlic press because meal prep doesn't have to be a total drag. This cute lil' gadget is a great way to make your cooking routine a bit more fun.
Promising review: "It's so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient, and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher-safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece so no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily; it is honestly a game changer for my cooking game!" —Llamazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (also available as a garlic peeler).
9. A genius magnetic stove shelf to help you clear out the messy spice drawer you've been avoiding. Plus, all your cooking staples will be within reach and ready to use when you're cookin' up a storm.
This shelf is completely magnetic, so this is a great renter-friendly option to avoid using nails and drilling!
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).
10. An expandable spice rack — you didn't sign up for a game of hide-and-seek whenever a recipe calls for some spice! You'll take advantage of available cabinet space *and* you'll always be able to find what you need.
Promising review: "With all our spices on one level, we had to take out every spice to get to the ones in the back. Now they are all visible and you can just reach in and take out the one you need. Easy peasy!" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27.98
11. A Dash rapid egg cooker when you love eggs but hate how long it takes to cook 'em. Whether you're a fan of hard-boiled, scrambled, or poached eggs, the possibilities are endless.
Check out a TikTok of the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker in action and be sure to check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review for more deets!
This cooker includes the base, clear lid, measuring cup, poaching tray, omelet bowl, boiling tray, and a handy little recipe book. You can cook up to six eggs at once. It's perfect for making hard- or soft-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, omelets, and more. Pierce the eggs, place them in the cooker, and add the recommended amount of water for what you're making. Close the lid, turn it on, and your eggs will cook in a matter of minutes.
BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord says: "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 $19.99+ (available in seven colors).
12. A beautiful Always Pan from Our Place for mastering any meal on the menu. This all-in-one pan ~always~ comes in handy. It can braise, bake, steam, strain, sear, sauté, boil, and fry.
This pan is made to replace the following cookware: a fry pan, a sauté pan, a steamer, a skillet, a saucepan, a saucier, a nonstick pan, a spatula, and a spoon rest.
See some cool dishes you can make in this TikTok of the Always Pan.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Taylor Steele loves the Always Pan and said: "As someone who neither enjoys cooking nor is particularly good at it, the Always Pan has made being in the kitchen feel like less of a chore. Having one pan that can do everything means I don't have to second-guess every cooking decision I make. I can boil and prepare pasta in it. And I can roast Brussels sprouts. And I can make the perfect fried egg. And I can steam dumplings. The best part is that everything slides so seamlessly out of the pan and onto the plate, which also makes cleanup super fast and easy. Both the amateur (read: reluctant) cook and the more seasoned chef will enjoy creating fan favorites and new recipes in the Always Pan!"
Promising review: "I will never use another pan. I have cooked everything from eggs to spaghetti to red peppers to ground beef, all tasting wonderful with such easy cleanup! The resting spatula was so convenient!!" —Judith S.
Get it from Our Place for $150+ (available in three sizes and 11 colors).
13. A snap-on pasta strainer to help strain hot water and juices without potentially burning yourself OR losing any of your meal. The space-saving design is a game changer for small kitchens, too.
Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voilà! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens
Get it from Amazon for $14.49+ (available in five colors).
14. A set of airtight glass food storage containers so you can meal prep with peace of mind. These heavy-duty containers are safe to use in the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher! They're also the perfect size for prepping lunches for the week and for storing leftovers.
These have become my go-to food storage containers and tbh, I'm never going back to the flimsy plastic ones. Initially, I bought the larger glass lunch bowl to simplify salad prep. Being able to shake up my salad and evenly distribute the dressing without spills? GAME CHANGER! I loved it so much that I decided to buy this set for leftovers and meal prep throughout the week. They're safe to use in the freezer, dishwasher, and microwave (remove the lid before heating!). Pretty dang impressive if you ask me. The removable silicone sleeve protects your hands from the hot glass when taking it out of the microwave. It's also great for a lil' extra protection if the container slips out of your hands when you're zipping around the kitchen trying to do a million things at once (guilty 👋).
Promising review: "I absolutely love these storage containers! I bought some for myself for work, however, the kids have been using them for school lunches as well! Love the portion sizes, perfect from kids to [adult] size! The lids fit perfectly. I really like the silicone protector. It keeps your hands from getting burnt. They clean up so easily and are very durable!" —SDTator
Get a set of five from Amazon for $44.99 (available in nine color combos/styles).
15. And some silicone baking mats if you're ~fed up~ with having to scrub crusty food remnants off your pans. It also means you can stop buying aluminum foil, parchment paper, and cooking spray!
Promising review: "Our hopes in purchasing this product was to eliminate the need for parchment or foil paper. So we put it to the ultimate test by making fathead dough and rolling it out directly onto the silicone baking mat. I could not believe it didn't stick during the rolling out or the actual baking process. We continuously put it to the test and we've not had any issues as of yet. We just love this great find!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.14+ (also available in packs of three or four).
16. A trio lasagna pan when you want gloriously crispy edges so *every* piece is a corner piece. You can also use it to customize recipes when cooking for people with food allergies or varying tastes. Your gluten-free and lactose-intolerant pals will appreciate the thought!
FYI, you can 6,000% use these for brownies, blondies, and bread too.
Promising review: "As someone who has a child (now a teenager) that will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it but now I can make him a section without cheese and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square. Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family." —TRU
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
17. A set of oven liners that'll make cleanup a lot easier when you hang up your chef's hat for the day. Go on, give yourself a pat on the back for preemptively taking care of all those fallen crumbs.
Promising review: "I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill, or running the 'oven clean' option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while. I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for it to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner. It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn't the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!" —Hpg
Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99.
18. An absolutely splurge-worthy KitchenAid stand mixer to justify the countless hours you spend in the kitchen whipping up baked goods — for Santa and others. It mixes, it fluffs, it kneads. Basically, it's a baker's dream come true.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross says: "Don't worry about it teetering over the edge of your counter when you set it to high speeds — it may be pricey, but as a former professional baker, I can confidently say nothing compares when it comes to sheer sturdiness. If you're serious about taking your pastry skills to new heights, I highly recommend having one of these in your arsenal. In addition to whisk and paddle attachments, it comes with a dough hook for all of you bread lovers out there (I used it for kneading the dough for the cinnamon rolls pictured above!), as well as a pouring shield, which keeps flour from getting all over your counter (and you!)."
Promising review: "This mixer will change your life! I went from making French macarons all by hand power to using this standing mixer and I feel like a new baker! This mixer will definitely transform your practice and baking game, everything has become 100% easier! I suggest cleaning each part (three attachments, guard, and bowl) with mild soap and warm water, then clean the bowl with a baking powder paste to remove the gray metal polish that is applied at the factory. I was amazed at how gray the paste turned once I started rubbing it in the bowl. Glad I didn't ruin my first batch of macaron shells. So far the only con is the price, but having the right tools make baking SO much more enjoyable and productive." —Mr. P
Get it from Amazon for $449.95+ (available in 23 colors).
19. A KitchenAid attachment mount because there IS a way to store baking essentials that won't cause even more clutter. Your tools will always be nearby when you're ready to create your next *chef's kiss* masterpiece.
Fused Line is a Seattle-based small business that specializes in KitchenAid and coffee accessories.
Promising review: "Such a nifty, lovely space-saving attachment! Got this for my sister and she loves the aesthetic and how easy and practical it is to use." —GoldenTckt
Get it from Fused Line on Etsy for $11 (available in three colors and as a screw-on or adhesive mount).
20. Oxo's 3-in-1 avocado tool so you can split, pit, and slice avocados with unprecedented speed. Plus, you won't have to worry about slicing your hand, which is a good enough reason to buy it!
This 3-in-1 tool can split an avocado with its pointy tip, remove the pit with its center, and make perfectly even slices with the bottom — a much safer alternative to using a regular knife and potentially falling prey to the dreaded "avocado hand."
Promising review: "So worth the space in the kitchen! This thing really does what it says. I love mine and use it all the time. Pit removal is super easy with this, no more knife-prying. I didn't think the cutting tool would be as effective as it is, but it works great as well. No complaints on this product — would buy again!" —K. Cyr
Get it from Amazon for $11.94.
21. A handy heat-resistant silicone utensil rest to prevent those splotches of food all over your cooktop (and floor, tbh). It comes with a built-in drip pad that you can easily rinse off after cooking.
Bonus — this is also dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I bought this on impulse and I am glad I did. It does a great job of holding several utensils and keeping them from touching all while not taking up a great deal of space. The lip around the edge works well to keep any drips from getting on my counter and when I am done cooking I just throw it in the dishwasher. My counters are cleaner and less cluttered while cooking (I have limited counter space) and cleanup is a breeze. Before this, I had a cute ceramic owl spoon rest which I loved the look of but was always afraid of breaking it, and it only held one utensil. Since this one is silicone I don’t have to worry about it chipping or breaking. It is also easy to stick it in a drawer until you need it. I would definitely recommend this product, without hesitation, to anyone." —A. Jessup
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and 20 colors).
22. OR! A metal stand when you're ready to improve your stove top game. You'll have a spot for both your wooden spoon and the lid that always seems to drip liquid all over the place.
Promising review: "I personally always hate it when you pull off the lid of something and the lid is leaking water everywhere while being super hot. With my new solid-surface counters, I definitely don't want to set the lid on there and ruin them. Putting it on the stovetop is either annoying due to the water mess or impossible if you are using the whole stove.
This was made for the fussy new-home person like me. I can now set the lid down and not worry about where all that hot water is going." —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
23. A breakfast sandwich maker that'll make lazy weekend mornings much more delicious. Too tired for McDonald's drive-thru? This gadget has you covered *and* it'll save you money in the long run. No regrets here.
Promising review: "FAM. I need you to lissssssten. I would give this product 87 stars if I could. You'd think it would be one of those gimmicky kitchen appliances that barely even works. EXCEPT you're wrong. It's amazing. It's quick. Look. Lissssten. You put the ingredients in and about two minutes later your tummy is all like 'oh yesssss.' Basically. Just buy it. Purchase the sammich maker. You're welcome." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
24. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser for keeping your sandwich bread perfectly fresh so it'll last as long as possible. You can even use the bread bag with the dispenser so it dispenses each slice individually.
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three other styles).
25. A pair of silicone oven mitts so no one in your household feels ~the heat~ when taking steamy meals or baked goods out of the oven.
Promising review: "As someone who is super afraid of being burned, I am happily using these. They do reach all the way up the arm so that I feel safe reaching into my old oven. I don't have any problems bending my fingers to grip things, and so far, I haven't felt any heat when taking things out. Before I was using a 20-year-old woven glove that was past its prime. I haven't felt safe using anything but that single glove. Now, I have these, and they're fantastic." —Jenne Schrader
Get a pair from Amazon for $21.25 (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
26. And for good measure, silicone oven rack edge protectors because you never know when you're going to reach a little too far and get burned. You worked too hard on that meal for it to be ruined by a totally avoidable injury.
Check out a TikTok of the oven rack protectors in action.
Promising review: "After countless times burning myself reaching into my oven I heard about these and they are a game changer!! Not only do they stay cool enough to use to pull a hot rack out, but they protect you from the hot edges when reaching into the oven. So glad I heard about these!" —J.B.
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
27. A marvelous cheese grater to get that huge block of cheddar grated in less than a minute (you know, the one you bought when you went grocery shopping on an empty stomach)! Did I mention it can grate veggies and nuts, too?
Check out this TikTok of the cheese grater!
Promising review: "I had seen someone use this on TikTok and wasn't sure if it would be that good, but decided to try it. Loved that you can secure it to the table. It is very easy to use, works great, and easy to clean. Highly recommend." —Nathalee Porter
Get it from Amazon for $28.98 (available in nine colors).
28. A two-stage knife sharpener that'll keep your knives in tip-top shape. You won't have to pay a professional knife sharpener *or* waste money on a new set just because the blades are a bit dull.
Be sure to read our full KitchenIQ two-stage knife sharpener review!
Promising review: "Wow, this little gadget is pretty amazing! I have some old (expensive) nonserrated knives that are supposed to never need sharpening but unfortunately, lost their sharp edge long ago. I saw this gadget and decided to try it. I set the bottom of this gadget on the edge of the counter and ran one of the knives through the side labeled 'Coarse' about 10 times, then ran it through the side labeled 'Fine' another 8–10 times. Bingo! The knife was transformed back to its former high-dollar cutlery glory. I could hardly believe how effectively it had sharpened the knife, which I had been ready to throw away a week before. I've been happily sharpening all our knives and trying to add up in my head how much money I've saved by NOT having to buy another set of expensive knives. I don't know where else you can spend $6 and get this return for the money. Great score!" —Schelly L. Wagoner
Get it from Amazon for $9.04+ (available in three colors and as a three-pack).
29. A Crack'em egg cracker and spoon rest when your crackin' game isn't ~eggs-actly~ where it should be. If you're done fishing shells out of your freshly cracked eggs, you need this in your life! Plus, you can use it as a spoon rest while you're cookin' up a storm.
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 and as a three-pack).
30. A Dash mini waffle maker for serving up the most scrumptious (and adorable) breakfast you've ever eaten. It can even be used for biscuits, hash browns, paninis, etc.
Promising review: "Honestly, this is 100x better than I expected! It’s so cute, perfect-sized waffle, easy to use, and works well, not messy. The size allows you to easily put it away. The waffles are Eggo-sized. It works/cooks very well. The cooking surface plates do not remove, but it’s still relatively easy to clean." —H
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 20 colors/styles).
31. A mini 2-quart Crock-Pot if you love trying new recipes but don't want to make a GIANT meal that takes forever to prep and cook. Dump your ingredients in bright and early, set the cooker for eight hours, and your tasty meal will be waiting for you at the end of the day — without a zillion leftovers to worry about.
Listen, I love leftovers as much as the next person. When you don't have a huge family to feed, there is such a thing as too many leftovers, especially if you're not a fan of freezing 'em. This lil' slow cooker is *the* perfect size when you're cooking for one or two people and it'll still yield some decent leftovers — depending on your hunger level, of course. Want to simplify cleanup? Get yourself some slow cooker liners! You can specifically search for two-quart recipes OR you can reduce the ingredients if you're using a recipe for a larger slow cooker. And be sure to check out our slow cooker tips if you're just getting started!
Promising review: "I love this little slow cooker. I can make 2 lbs of chicken for enchiladas in this, with no problem. It heats as expected and takes up almost no room at all. It's perfect for 2–4 people. The crock and lid can go in the dishwasher too. 💙" —Carriebella
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 OR check out the larger sizes here.
32. A clever 8-in-1 spiralizer to help speed up meal prep in *literally* several ways. Bonus: you'll also save some major kitchen storage space. Whether you're juicing, grating, or shredding, this gadget does it all.
Just swap out the inserts to go from one function to another!
BuzzFeed Shopping's Emma Lord says: "I recently purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my apartment is the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too — I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!) super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe."
Promising review: "This is the second spiralizer that I have purchased, and by far the best I have used. It's super easy to use and to clean. My other spiralizer that I had was difficult to clean properly and I want to use them as often as possible, so the use and cleaning of the product is very important! Fullstar Vegetable Spiralizer is a great product and I will be purchasing more to give as gifts for the holiday season. I would definitely recommend. A+++ item." —Yvonne I
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in four- and six-in-one styles).
33. A reusable bowl cover because your passion for loaves is a special one, so it makes sense that you refuse to settle for anything less than *perfect*. This will prevent 'em from drying out while they proof!
This cover is machine-washable, so it's an eco-friendly solution that eliminates the need for plastic wrap!
Stacy's Kitchen is a San Francisco-based small business that makes handmade kitchen linens with a focus on sustainability.
Promising review: "They have been working great for proofing my bread. Much cuter than plastic wrap. They are finished off nicely on the seams so you don't need to be concerned with any fraying. Would buy from again." —grey danlelion
Get it from Stacy's Kitchen on Etsy for $11.98+ (originally $17.12+; available in seven sizes and four patterns, as well as a set of three).
34. A clever cutting board with a pour spout for, quite possibly, the easiest meal prep (and cleanup) experience ever. This double-sided board has a spout on one side for easy disposal of juices and a phone slot on the other side so you glance at recipes while cooking.
Promising reviews: "This cutting board looks so nice I keep it on my counter all the time. Handy and sturdy. I like that one side has a grooved border that catches any juices from meat or poultry that's resting before carving. I'm very happy with this purchase!" —Joseph G.
"I already own these amazing cutting boards and just bought one for each of my daughters. The slot for your phone is genius, they are very generously sized, and easy to clean and maintain." —Kathy H.
Get it from Food52 for $29.99+ (available in three sizes).
35. A handy stainless-steel pepper and jalapeño core remover that'll get rid of those innards *much* faster. Now you can get on with the prepping and enjoy your savory meal sooner rather than later.
Promising review: "This pepper corer is high quality, easy to use and clean. I use it mainly to cut out the cores of jalapeño peppers and it works great removing the entire core and most of the seeds. I use an old toothbrush to brush off the seeds left on the corer tool. No more having to cut a jalapeño pepper in half, then cutting out the core and seeds with a paring knife spreading seeds all over the cutting board. The handle and steel cutter are made with good quality materials. Highly recommended!" —David

37. A mushroom growing kit with big "I made this!" energy, aka a match made in heaven for anyone who prefers to grow and cook their own food. Once they're ready to eat, simply roast, sauté, or air fry 'em right up!
Back To The Roots is a California-based small business founded by two college friends that specializes in indoor gardening kits with a mission to reconnect families to food.
Psst — if you have not put mushrooms in your air fryer, my friend, you have not yet lived the full human experience. This growing kit also comes with some recipes to get you started!
Promising review: "This product has been so much fun to watch! I followed the directions, exactly as written, and the mushrooms began growing within 3–4 days. I will say that I did soak them for close to 10 hours before putting them back in the box to grow and I believe this helped a ton. I also kept the box inside by a window with the blinds closed in order for them to get indirect sunlight. The mushrooms grew tremendously for almost a week before they started to shrink so I clipped them to cook with and they were DELICIOUS!" —Steph Card

38. Finally, a three-piece pizza grilling set — you'll have everything you need to open your very own 'za joint in your kitchen. It includes a 13" pizza stone, a folding pizza peel, and a pizza cutter.
Promising review: "The stone is perfect for frozen pizzas and those made from scratch. Makes the crust crispy and easy to take out of the oven or grill with the paddle too. The paddle is foldable so stores easily. Everyone should have this at home, and never look back at a pizza pan again." —Thomas J. Sheppard
