We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A silicone grease container to handle that piping hot grease in a jiffy, because god forbid you pour any of it down the sink. You can pour it right into this to free up that dish you need to wash, then once the grease hardens, easily scoop it out for disposal or reuse.
2. An air fryer you can use to crisp up veggies, french fries, chicken wings, and more of your favorite foods without soaking them in oil. It's from the makers of the Instant Pot!
3. A set of three fermentation lids if you're of the opinion that most things taste better pickled (because hard agree) or just want to try something new in the kitchen. From carrots and cucumbers to tomatoes and cabbage, the options for pickling are endless, and you'll have some tasty snacks and meal toppers when they're ready.
4. A milk frother to add a professional touch to your morning cup of joe or evening hot chocolate. Time to practice your barista skills.
5. An Ooni Koda 16 pizza oven because nothing satisfies a crowd more than some 'za. From pizza parties with friends to intimate date nights, your backyard can transform into a professional-style pizza kitchen anytime you need it.
6. A tortilla press if tacos, quesadillas, and fajitas are part of your regular meal rotation — why not start making your tortillas at home? All you need is some corn flour and water, and you'll basically be running your own tortilleria in no time.
7. A handheld soap dispensing brush more comfortable than one of those flat sponges — and also more fun to use. To dispense liquid soap, you just lightly push the button on top, then scrub away with the downward-facing brush.
8. A Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso maker if you prefer to brew coffee in single servings rather than a big pot (especially if you live alone) — this can help you kickstart your day with an espresso or coffee in less than a minute. Think of all the $$$ you'll save on Starbucks.
9. A set of LED light saber chopsticks that make ordering sushi 10 times more fun. Let a friend borrow the second pair, and you can light saber-duel them for the final piece.
10. A mini fridge/freezer to place in your main hangout area and stock with drinks and snacks so you and your crew don't have to go far for refreshments.
11. An automatic pan stirrer with a timer for those recipes that call for frequent stirring but you have like 10 other things going on in the kitchen and no one around to help. It might seem a little silly, but it's also a better alternative to burning your food.
12. A handheld garlic press that cuts all the time and effort out of mincing garlic, especially if you're like me and prefer to use two (or three or four) times more garlic than the recipe calls for. It also comes with a scraper to make sure there's zero garlic left on the tool afterward!
13. A compact eight-in-one spiralizer to handle some of the most annoying kitchen prep, like grating cheese, juicing fruits, and cutting zucchini ribbons.
14. A Magic Bullet blender that might just inspire you to drink *more* juice and smoothies because of how quick and satisfying it is to use. It comes with three different cup sizes and lids for taking on the go!
15. A cookie scoop to put an end to eyeballing your cookie dough balls until they look more or less even — this takes all the guesswork out of it.
16. A smart Breville toaster oven because it's time to upgrade from that tiny charred toaster you've had since college — you can use this for everything from toast and bagels to pizza, cookies, casseroles, and more.
17. An AeroGarden to work on your green thumb even if you don't have the room for an outdoor garden — this can sit right on your countertop and let you grow fresh herbs for your meals. Spaghetti, meet my homegrown basil.
18. A Cuisinart Griddler so you can grill up chicken and veggies or make mouthwatering burgers year-round. It's also a great investment for apartment dwellers.
19. A mug warmer if you, like me, get easily distracted and sip your morning coffee so slowly, it ends up going cold before you finish it. With this electric warmer, you can happily enjoy your hot, caffeinated drink for hours.
20. A KitchenAid food chopper so you can make delicious sauces, dips, dressings, and more without having to painstakingly chop each ingredient.
21. A SodaStream if La Croix is your secret obsession but you can't justify the cost of stocking up on it all the time. This'll give you fresh sparkling water at the push of a button so you can have an endless supply of that good bubbly at home.
22. A culinary blowtorch so you can feel like the professional chefs on TV when you caramelize the sugar atop crème brûlée, melt cheese, toast breadcrumbs, or sear a steak. This one's just plain fun to use.
23. A breakfast sandwich maker because if there's any one meal that deserves a gadget *dedicated* to it alone, it's a good old-fashioned breakfast sandwich. This all-in-one sandwich maker will be your lifesaver on mornings when you're feeling hungover or just lazy.
24. A mandoline slicer so you can go wild slicing up cucumbers, carrots, and potatoes with little effort on your part — this little machine has 30+ different cut options to make prep a breeze.
25. A pasta machine that turns pasta night into a fun activity and gives you freshly made noodles for your fettuccine Alfredo.
26. A reliable Mr. Coffee drip coffee machine so you can finally stop ordering out your coffee and make a big 'ol pot in the mornings to keep you caffeinated all day long. It's a classic for a reason.
27. And a coffee and spice grinder to help you enjoy the rich flavor of freshly ground beans and make your morning coffee ritual feel even more special. You can use it for grinding spices like dried chiles or peppercorns, too!
28. An immersion blender that's a must-have if you loooove a good soup and want to recreate your favorite from Panera. This'll blend up all your veggies to give you a soup that's lump-free and positively delicious.
29. A microwave popcorn maker so you can treat yourself to ~gourmet~ popcorn at home for a fraction of the price, the perfect companion snack for days when you just want to be a couch potato and binge your comfort show. It doubles as a serving bowl!
30. A handheld knife sharpener because there's no point in buying good knives if you're not going to take care of them. Its two-stage design lets you sharpen a knife that's gone dull or quickly touch-up/polish an already sharp blade.
31. A nonstick microwave pasta cooker for when you are *starving* and don't want to wait for water to boil (we've all been there). This lets you make al dente pasta in the microwave — it sounds like a gimmick, but reviewers say it's legit.
32. A handy corn butterer with a curved blade to help you slather every inch of your corn on the cob with that golden buttery goodness.
33. A SinkShroom strainer designed to prevent clogs so you don't have to reach your hand into dirty water and dig around for all the food particles blocking the drain. Yuck.
34. A rapid egg cooker made to take all the time and stress out of cooking eggs just the way you like them. This handy gizmo can cook you soft-, medium-, and hard-boiled eggs (up to six at once), and if you like poached or scrambled eggs, it can do that, too! You can even make an omelet in this thing.
35. A BBQ tool any grill master needs in their arsenal. It functions as a spatula, tongs, and scraper all in one so you're not having to fumble with different tools when the steak is ready to be flipped.
36. A bicycle-inspired pizza cutter to serve as a fun conversation piece next time you're slicing up pizza for a group.
37. A HyperChiller so you can enjoy fresh iced coffee without having to put on pants and leave the house, PLUS you're saving money long-term. It can take a hot cup of coffee and chill it by 130 degrees in less than a minute!
38. A Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Compressor to whip up your own ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and gelato at home — it'll be hard to go back to the pre-packaged pints at the store afterward.
39. A toaster with a touch screen that guarantees you a perfectly toasted bagel or slice of bread — we might not have flying cars yet, but at least we have this.
Enjoy playing with your new kitchen toys!
