    39 Things To Help Anyone Who's Bad At Cooking Dinner

    Time to break up with your friends at the drive-thru.

    1. A 3-in1 avocado tool that'll split, pit, and slice the good green stuff because sometimes dinner is a piece of toast topped with avocado and some red pepper flakes and that's totally fine! It's filling, easy, and delicious.

    2. A rapid egg cooker to help you nail down a protein source in lots of different ways! Or just fix yourself a big batch of deviled eggs, which IMO could make for a great dinner.

    3. An Instant Pot – it can handle 7(!!!!) kitchen tasks in one precious lil' appliance body so dinner's ready as soon as you walk in the door.

    4. And some slow cooker liners to make cleanup a total cinch. I use these and they're THE BEST.

    5. A rotating countertop oven for ~evenly~ cooking all sorts of frozen goodies. Will that frozen pizza ever taste homemade? Unlikely. But it sure can taste delicious thanks to this gadget that'll evenly cook it.

    6. A gorgeous 2-in-1 grill/griddle that'll make you wanna whip up something homemade *just* so you can do an Insta flat lay (and add to your stories). OK you'll wanna use it so you can actually eat food.

    7. A cooktop cleaner kit to undo all those times that you weren't minding the pot.

    8. And while we're on the subject, a couple of pot minders to prevent some of the cleanup laterrrrrr.

    9. And a clip-on colander to help you drain your pasta water without loosing any noods in that kitchen sink (that, between you and me, has a layer of dirty dishes).

    10. A multipurpose kitchen stand that'll cradle that cookbook you haven't even cracked yet while ya' crack a few eggs in the kitchen. Turns out it'll also serve as a spoon and pot lid holder!

    11. *Reusable* toaster bags for helping you achieve peak sandwich at home without firing up the stovetop *or* catching your toaster on fire!

    12. A produce dicer that'll make onion tears and food prep mess a thing of the past! It comes with four blades and steady construction so that piece of produce stays where you want it! Plus, it'll do a bunch of spiralizing for ya'.

    13. A spaghetti measure can help you fix the actual normal amount you'd prefer, instead of enough for an army like you accidentally did last time that left you eating leftovers for a week. (JK, you ate leftovers the next day and then tossed the rest.)

    14. An excellent chef's knife to help you cut up those whole ingredients with finesse so that's one less thing you've gotta worry about. ICYMI, cutting with dull knives is extremely dangerous!

    15. A compact food processor that won't be a huge investment money-wise but will feel like a great investment for all sorts of recipes you've been wanting to try.

    16. And some cut-resistant gloves because nothing can throw a wrench in dinner plans like spurting blood.

    17. An airfryer to dupe those fast-food favorites that have kept you from learning how to perfect some homemade recipes.

    18. An iron fish made to infuse more iron into your food and the water it's cooking in — which would be especially helpful if you're vegetarian or vegan and find yourself pretty unsatisfied with your previously home-cooked meals. Stop giving all your monies to that fancy vegan place in your neighborhood!

    19. A 3-in-1 breakfast station because breakfast for dinner is a gift to this world and you should make it way more often. Plus, breakfast food is super easy!

    20. Or a microwave bacon cooker in case you can't get enough of these tasty strips and have been known to plan a dinner around it. No more having to make a trip out to the diner.

    21. Kitchen tools made of resilient (but pretty!) beechwood and heat-resistant silicone (up to 425°F, to be exact) because remember that time you melted a plastic spoon while scrambling eggs? Well the spoon doesn't bc it's DEAD.

    22. A handy batter dispenser to make pancakes (and then cupcakes for dessert) easy work. No more lopsided stacks thanks to eyeballing your allotments of batter.

    23. A flexible pancake turner for achieving Leslie Knope–level breakfast goals. Ugly pancakes are still delicious, but you've got the means to turn out some beauts.

    24. A mounted jar opener because, let's be real, how many times have you started to open up a jar of marinara sauce to make a quick meal and have given up on making that lid budge only to order some pizza? Who? Me?!

    25. An immersion blender to give a whirl to sauces, smoothies, and soups. Homemade soup is easier than you think! Truly!

    26. A super pot that can be used to grill, simmer, and steam. Nothing like a new kitchen appliance to get your pumped for dinner time!

    27. A foldable cutting board so you don't have to sacrifice another single mushroom slice to the fiery pits of your gas stove. Wait, do you have your own cooking show?

    28. An adorable pot clip to hold up your spoon because an extra pair of hands (or claws) can make the biggest difference when you're whipping up a batch of easy chili you found on Pinterest.

    29. A ramen microwave cooker built to make your noodles taste like you waited in line for hours at the hot new ramen joint.

    30. A rice cooker so you can set it and forget it — no more scraping burnt rice off the bottom of your pot!

    31. An approachable cookbook that breaks down cooking into four major categories so you'll feel more confident in the kitchen. You've got this!

    32. Oven rack guards so you won't get burned the next time you attempt that casserole. Literally. Casseroles are easy and tasty!

    33. A straining spoon to help make pasta dinners a total cinch. And it'll let you get around lifting a heavy pot to drain it in the sink.

    34. A microwave pasta cooker that'll help you achieve al dente noods ready to top off with some jarred sauce.

    35. A splatter guard so when you turn up the heat just a bit too high all is not lost and you're not caught with piping-hot sauce all over your hands and clothes.

    36. An aluminum sheet pan for roasting a pan full of veggies or finally putting all those sheet pan dinners to use.

    37. And silicone baking mats so you don't have to scrape those sheet pans clean or worry about your meal getting burnt. Folks use this for everything from cookies to pies to pizza to roasted veggies.

    38. Daily Harvest, a subscription of frozen cups ready for you to (quickly whip up) – it'll become an organic freezer staple for anyone who lives off of smoothies, harvest bowls, soups, and other scrumptious things. I've tried it and LOVE it.

    39. And some Solyent you can keep on hand in the fridge just in case you burn everything beyond recognition. Dinner isn't completely ruined! Tonight it's coming from a bottle! (This bottle.)
