    36 Newer Kitchen Products That Will Make You Go “Oooh, Nifty”

    This hybrid backpack/cooler/chair is about to be the hottest accessory for foodies this summer.

    1. A wineglass-washing dishwasher attachment that keeps your glassware nice and secure so you can continue to have your "pretending I'm Olivia Pope while holding a glass of wine and yelling at the president" Friday nights with your favorite glasses safe and squeaky clean.

    Wine Wash Co. is a woman-owned small business that specializes in dishwasher attachments. 

    Promising review: "I had a hard time finding wine glass holders for my dishwasher. My previous dishwasher had built-in holders, but my current dishwasher does not. I got tired of having wine glasses break during dishwashing cycles. These holders are sturdy and fit the bill for standard glasses. They can fold up when not in use. I would not use them for expensive Waterford crystal wine glasses, but they are perfect for everyday glasses. A must-have for wine drinkers!" —Alicia

    2. A ring can opener, because holy SMOKES can those be annoying to open. Reviewers swear by this for getting a quick and easy grip without wrecking their nails or cutting themselves on the edges of the lid. It's also a super handy tool for people with arthritis and joint pain.

    Promising review: "It does the job it's supposed to do. I was cutting my hand trying to open cans. This allows me to get a better grip on the little loopy thing, and gives me leverage to open the can." —P. Alscher

    Get it from Amazon for $6.57

    3. A set of reusable Gripstic bag sealers, which are sticks that clamp over open snack bags to make sure they're genuinely sealed and airtight. (We cannot risk letting our beloved Cheez-Its get stale!!) These also save a lot of space compared to regular chip clips, and are safer considering there isn't a spring that could either wear out or break on you in the middle of sealing something. 😬

    Gripstic is a small business that specializes in reusable chip clips. 

    Promising review: "I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips. I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compare to Gripsticks. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts. I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with Gripsticks. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward."Rachel Campbell

    5. A Twix shakers seasoning blend to lawlessly spread all over everything from yogurt to apples to ice cream to coffee to toast to — you know what? I dare you to find something that isn't improved by a bunch of Twix-y dust. 

    Promising review: "This is the stuff right here. So far, I've tried it alone, on french toast, and on popcorn. It is amazing on all of the above. We bought it for our Christmas crepe tradition. We always have crepes Christmas morning and this year I decided to get lots of toppings and spreads to try on them. I cannot wait to try Twix on my crepes. I even have a Twix spread to go inside of them!" —UMBERT3

    Promising review: "Wow! I love this turntable organizer! I can fit so many items on it, and because of that, I now have so much more space on the door shelves. With this organizer, I will have easy access to all of those extra items that just don't have their own space. Now they do have a place to go! I would highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to feel more organized and doesn't want to lose items in their fridge." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in six colors and in a four-slice toaster style). 

    9.

Renters of small spaces also appreciate this for freeing up their counters!

    Promising review: "I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t like a lot of stuff on my countertops. This is just what I was looking for. It’s compact and a space saver. The magnet sticks really well. It doesn’t move when I tear off paper towels." —Latasha Jackson

    36. A handy brownie dividing pan so you can flex during the next cozy movie night by presenting your friends with perfectly crisp-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside brownies all in uniform sizes and shapes. Those chumps with ordinary pans could NEVER.

    Um, I'm obsessed with this pan. I make those gooey three-layer brownies that are cookie dough on the bottom, Oreos in the middle, and either brownie or Nutella on top, and I famously underbake them because salmonella doesn't apply to me. Which is to say, usually when I make these it's a big gooey mess and my friends have to dig in with a spoon and it's less inviting for guests to take one. With this tray it was SO easy to put the batter in, stick the divider on top, and bake individual small bars. it was completely nonstick, and it was easy to pull the divider out once everything was cooked. The uniform brownies were a huge hit at a party!
