    Level Up Your Kitchen Routine With These 35 Game-Changing Products

    New kitchen level officially unlocked: 🔓 expert.

    1. A double-sided bowl — a match made in heaven for picky eaters, soggy cereal haters, or for those who simply want more than one snack option in a single bowl. Parents with kids who are *extra* particular about foods not touching swear by it.

    reviewer's small red orange bowl split into two sides, one with cornbread the other with chili
    another reviewer's white version split with milk on one side and cereal on the other

    These are also BPA-free and dishwasher- and microwave-safe! 

    Promising review: "My oldest child is a very picky eater. I used to hate buying him cereal he would beg for because it would always later lead to a tantrum, which would lead to a mess and so on. This bowl has solved the problem completely. The whole time it was because my child couldn’t stand the soggy texture of cereal. So glad I took a chance on trying it. Bowl is cost friendly to its good quality." —Susan

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors and as a set of three).

    2. A combo air fryer and oven to forever change your cooking game in ways you never thought possible. Buckle up! 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??

    Promising review: "After tons of research and TikTok reviews, I bought this Cosori. I wanted a square shape because my older one is round and I definitely prefer this one. What I like: Square shape. Heats to 450 degrees. Preheat setting. Quieter. SO DAMN easy to clean--ridiculously easy to clean. IT GETS HOT and will crisp up and blacken chicken skin, salmon skin, pork belly skin like nobody's business. What I don't like: Glass top attracts dust like nobody's business. Like, clean it and 1 hour later there is dust on it. I also found the paper liners to fit and I love them. Hint: Just clean and put one in, then put in the cooking grate. Don't put one on the cooking grate and preheat, because it will suck it up to the heating element and catch fire. I LOVE the liners. Didn't even know they existed. I use this thing ALL the time. I've even cooked pork chops and steak (Sacrilege) in it. Delicious. Just buy it. Gets hot as hell and ridiculously easy to clean." —Rebdeb

    Get it from Amazon for $109.99.

    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 $6.99+ (also available in white).

    4. A ~super~ brilliant Souper Cube if you're essentially a certified batch cooker at this point and want to make freezing leftovers much easier. Rather than having one giant hunk of frozen soup to defrost, it'll be perfectly portioned for you so you'll have dinner on the table ASAP!

    Reviewer photo of their chicken noodle soup in the tray
    Reviewer photo of their frozen chicken noodle soup

    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.

    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 pack of two).

    5. 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 soft serve in minutes. What more could you need?

    A close up of another reviewer's yellow and red sorbet

    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 $35.80.

    6. A time-saving veggie chopper that'll quickly become your trusty kitchen sidekick thanks to its undying usefulness. Is chopping onions one of your most time-consuming and tear-inducing tasks? Consider the game officially changed.

    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 $29.99 (available in three colors).

    7. 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.

    the colorful set of five glass good storage containers
    Amazon

    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).

    8. A rapid egg cooker when you love eggs but *not* the time it takes to cook 'em. Whether you're a fan of hard-boiled, scrambled, or poached eggs, the possibilities are endless.

    Closeup of the yellow egg cooker

    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).

    9. 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?

    Reviewer's complete cheese grater set is shown

    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 $21.98+ (available in nine colors).

    10. A clear, nonslip cutting board that'll level up your countertop game in more ways than one. First, it's ✨stunning✨. Second, you can *actually* chop stuff on it without hindering your gorgeous countertops with an old, dingy cutting board.

    The clear cutting board is shown

    Check out a TikTok of the clear cutting board in action.

    Promising review: "This piece is beautiful. I love how it's clear and shows what is underneath. I can have it on my counter all the time and it looks to be part of the kitchen. I've chopped many things on it and I have no scratches. Very easy to clean." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99.

    11. A genius magnetic stove shelf for clearing out that very messy spice drawer you've been avoiding. Plus, all your cooking staples will now be within reach and ready to use while you cook.

    reviewer's black stove shelf holding spice jars
    close up of the shelf and jars

    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 $37.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

    12. 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 $14.28+ (also available in packs of three or four).

    13. An herb savor pod so you can stop feeling like a total failure every time you toss wilted herbs that you seemingly *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 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 $14.20 (or a set of three for $30.99). 

    14. 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. All your gluten-free and lactose-intolerant pals will crown you the real MVP for this one.

    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.

    15. 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 $12.99.

    16. A minimalist fruit bowl/colander so you can immediately store the fresh fruit you just purchased and wash it all at once. Yes, there *is* such a thing as a double-win in your kitchen.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

    17. cold brew coffee maker to ensure you have ready-to-drink coffee every morning. And all the money you'll save on Starbucks?? Keep stackin' those wins! Fill it with cold water, insert the filter full of coffee, and pop it in the fridge overnight.

    www.amazon.com, Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed

    Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E. 

    Get it from Amazon for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    18. A vampire-shaped garlic press because meal prep can be redundant and a cute lil' gadget is a great way to make your kitchen game a bit more fun. Not to mention you won't have stinky garlic fingers after using it!!

    The press
    Amazon

    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 $22.95.

    19. A snap-on pasta strainer for straining hot water and juices from a pot 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 $13.99+ (available in five colors).

    20. A mini two-quart Crock-Pot if you love trying new recipes but hate making a GIANT meal that takes over an hour to prep and cook at the end of a looong day. Dump your ingredients in bright and early, set the cooker for eight hours, and your scrumptious meal will be waiting for you — 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 clean up? Get yourself some slow cooker liners! You can specifically search for two-quart recipes OR you can simply 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

    21. 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.

    Amazon

    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 $9.22 (available in three colors and as a pack of three).

    22. A KitchenAid attachment mount to store baking essentials in a way that won't cause more unnecessary clutter. Your tools will always be nearby when you're ready to whip up your next *chef's kiss* masterpiece.

    23. 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.

    Amazon

    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 $18.99+ (available in 12 colors and two sizes).

    24. 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 $7.89+ (available in three colors). 

    25. The "Guac-Lock," which may bring tears of joy to your eyes — and no, it's not the onions you chopped for your guac. This will prevent it from oxidizing, so you can make as much as you want without it turning into brown sludge overnight. 

    Animated gif: hands press on the lid of the container to eliminate extra air

    Promising review: "Rarely do I buy something that delivers 100% of what they claim it will. I'm happy to report that this completely lived up to my expectations. Truth be told, it works even better than I expected it to. I made a batch of guac a week ago. Two or three times during the week, I unlocked it, dipped a chip or two and then re-locked it. After a week, the guacamole is as fresh as if I made it this morning. I typically make a batch of guac each week and use it as a snack or as a spread on sandwiches. I also typically throw out one-third of the batch because it spoils before we can eat it. Not anymore. I estimate the food I'm not wasting will actually pay for the Guac-Lock in about a month." —mhogan

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

    26. A genius pickle keeper and juice strainer for those of us who love to eat pickles but *not* get our fingers full of the sticky juice. It's basically an hourglass for your fave snack, people.

    The container flipped so the juice is only at at bottom

    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 $12.95 (also available with an included tong and in a larger size). 

    27. 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 $14.39 (also available in four- and six-in-one styles).

    28. 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.

    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 $11.95 (available in six colors).

    29. A metal stand to change your stovetop game for the better. 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 and putting it on the stove top 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

    32. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer when things are getting so stinky in there, you avoid opening it entirely. This will take care of the stench like a champ! Reviewers also use it to deodorize other small areas, like laundry rooms, shoe closets, etc.

    Promising review: "I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I’ve had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn’t smelled once since I’ve started using [it]." —Amazon Customer

    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.
