    34 Practical Small Kitchen Gadgets You'll Probably Want To Keep On Hand

    Grab an apron and let's do this thing.

    1. A convection toaster oven, perfect for (obviously) toasting things but also for baking single-serve meals. Sorry regular oven, we're on a break.

    2. An affordable rice cooker, so you can prepare up to 8 cups of any type of rice with just the click of a button.

    3. An electric food chopper, a must-have if your knife skills are so-so and you'd rather not cut off a finger this year.

    4. A Magic Bullet you can use to quickly blend the perfect morning smoothie in an attempt to break that Starbucks habit of yours.

    5. And a pineapple corer, in case you ever get the urge to whip up some fancy piña coladas.

    6. An Instant Pot with so many uses you'll need to take a deep breath before deciding what you should make with it first.

    7. An electric indoor grill, so you can make mouthwatering burgers all year long whether it's 20 or 90 degrees outside.

    8. A handheld grater and garlic press set that'll aid you in your quest to put together a delicious Italian feast.

    9. Or a Dash mini waffle maker for anyone who prefers their breakfast to be bite-sized and adorable (and who wouldn't?!).

    10. A peanut butter mixer to make sure the oil in your favorite spread gets evenly mixed in, because no one enjoys dry, lumpy PB or oil all over their counter.

    11. A handheld knife sharpener that'll bring your most-used kitchen utensils back to life in a flash without destroying your countertop or cutting boards.

    12. A high-quality microwave with "inverter technology," so you can heat up your leftovers in record time and not miss a second of The Bachelor.

    13. A rapid egg cooker that'll make your breakfast faster than you can say, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?".

    14. Or a three-speed hand blender to save you some kitchen space if you see yourself having much use for a full-sized blender.

    15. A foldable cutting board, so you can chop a ton of veggies and not lose a single morsel while transferring them into a pan. Added bonus? It's dishwasher-safe for a super easy cleanup.

    16. A standard coffee machine, to keep you caffeinated without frustrating you with over-the-top machinery and confusing instructions.

    17. Or an electric water kettle you can use to brew a pot of tea in no time and would surely be Queen Elizabeth II–approved.

    18. A simple cooktop burner that'll work as an amazing alternative to cooking on a full stovetop and is essential if you've been itching to start filming your own top-down cooking tutorials.

    19. A mug warmer, because even if you're the self-proclaimed "busiest person on the planet" you deserve to have hot coffee.

    20. Or a cold brew maker, a must-have for anyone who would rather get frost bitten fingers than stop drinking iced coffee even in the middle of winter (I'm with you!).

    21. And a coffee (and spice) grinder that'll help you get your favorite beans to the perfect consistency with just one touch. Magic!

    22. A KitchenAid hand mixer, because (DON'T TELL ANYONE) you don't actually need the granddaddy of stand mixers to make your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.

    23. A microwave pasta cooker that'll help you fill your carb craving and keep you from getting antsy while waiting for water to boil. Win-win!

    24. An electric can opener, because you don't want to have to rely on ANYONE to help you open your soup.

    25. A 5 Minute Chef meal maker to get food on the table faster after a horrific day where all you want to do is stuff your face and crawl under the covers.

    26. A breakfast sandwich maker for those rainy Sunday mornings where all you want is a cure to your hangover but can't physically venture farther than your kitchen.

    27. An oven thermometer that'll give your baked goods a fighting chance to actually come out correctly. That's right — you might just be in the running to be named Star Baker.

    28. A mini waffle stick maker so, just like the great Leslie Knope, you can put your love for this breakfast treat on display whenever you feel so inclined.

    29. A food processor/blender combo that'll help you save some dollars since you'll only need one of these bad boys to whip up some delish recipes.

    30. Or a spiralizer you'll love so much it'll make you want to turn everything in your life into a noodle (but maybe just stick to veggies, OK?).

    31. A lil' handheld chopper that'll make mincing vegetables a much less daunting task and cut your prep time in half.

    32. An easy-to-clean pizza wheel you can break out after making your own pie at home or when your local pizzeria does a lazy job slicing the one you ordered for delivery.

    33. A food scale that'll make your life SO much easier — no more Googling "how many ounces equal one cup?"

    34. And dachshund corn holders you'll absolutely want to keep on hand not just because they're freakin' adorable but because they'll protect your precious fingers from getting burnt when you're too impatient to let your corn cool.

    Now you just have to learn to cook. Good luck with that.
