1. A stainless-steel colander designed to fit directly over your sink so you can drain pasta and wash veggies without having to perform a balancing act.
2. A hands-free electric jar opener that can tackle the most stubborn lids with just the press of a button. Might as well let the robots have this job.
3. And this Cuisinart electric can opener so you never have to struggle with a manual one again.
4. A warming pad for ensuring your coffee, gravies, and sauces are always at the perfect temperature.
5. An easy-to-use electric wine opener that can uncork up to 80 bottles on a single charge! If you've ever dealt with a bottle of wine that has half a cork in it, you'll know this is a genius invention.
6. An electric tea kettle sporting double-layered insulation that will have you drinking your favorite cup of chamomile in a matter of minutes.
7. A Ninja air fryer with two individual baskets so you can simultaneously cook two different meals, two different way, all at one time. This is my favorite kind of math.
8. A seriously compact portable blender that comes with two dishwasher-safe cups and lids to ensure clean up is never a hassle and drinking your blended creation is a breeze.
9. An ultra-smart toaster to ensure the perfect level of crisp every time. This cool gadget features five food settings, three toasting modes, and seven levels of toasty-ness. Not the mention the futuristic touch screen, people!
10. A mini retractable pizza cutter with a unique lock function to ensure its blade is tucked away from little hands. No more having to futz with a rolling cutter.
11. A stainless-steel slow cooker that is something of a magical cauldron. Fill it with your favorite ingredients, choose your setting, and come back to a home-cooked meal.
12. A 15-piece high-carbon, stainless-steel knife set because sometimes the simplest tools are the most brilliant. A good set of knives might seem obvious but 15 (!!) of them all at a high quality is non-negotiable.
13. A nonstick and dishwasher-safe aluminum griddle to make cooking a little more fun — and clean up a whole lot easier.
14. And a stainless-steel butter spreader with a perforated roller that will fit perfectly on your griddle for easy access. Food doesn't stick to pans in this household!
15. A set of essential kitchen utensils (and a matching storage container!) so you will *literally* have all your tools within arm's reach.
16. Or if you already have the basics, then this unique set of tools, which includes an herb cutter, melon baller, ice cream scoop, y-peeler, lemon zester, bottle opener, and a storage container. You never know when you're going to need to ball some melon.
17. A 10-in-1 salad spinning slicer, dicer, and chopper with eight interchangeable blades, two grating panels, and a peeler to achieve perfectly uniform veggies in minutes.
18. A set of two multipurpose silicone bowl scrapers so you can get every last drop of dough or batter while you're baking whether it be cookies or that sourdough bread you perfected in lockdown.
19. An oven-safe, 10-inch, silicone pie or pizza crust shield for preventing burnt edges. This is perfect to grab now before pie season (aka fall) when you'll be baking up a storm.
20. A handheld chopper with five different modes: slice thin, slice thick, dice, cube, and wedge! Again, why do it yourself when this little gadget can do it all for you?!?!
21. A knife sharpener to transform your old, dull knives into pristinely sharp tools for effortless cutting, slicing, and dicing.
22. A bamboo turntable so all your goodies are easy to reach. This baby is super stylish so it'll look great on your countertop and allows you to find what you need with just a spin.
23. A set of three stainless-steel mixing bowls with matching lids so you can quickly store food as soon as you're done preparing it.
24. A metal canned good storage rack that'll not only save space in your cabinets but also make sure you can always find the exact can you're looking for.
25. And an indoor George Foreman tabletop grill because living in an apartment doesn't mean you can't enjoy a summer BBQ like everyone who's lucky enough to have a patio!!
