1. An Oxo cookie scoop so you can create bakery-quality cookies that are actually uniform and all cooked the same.
When pressed, the spring-loaded handle plops the cookie dough out onto your baking sheet so you're not having to dig it out each time.
I love baking but forming the perfect size dough balls is honestly such a pain in the butt. I've been using one of these cookie scoops for a while now and it genuinely makes such a huge difference. The cookies are all exactly the same size and shape which means they all cook at the same time and you don't end up with half raw cookies and half burnt. This is definitely one of my most frequently used kitchen gadgets. It seems so simple but makes such a big difference!
Promising review: "Why didn't I have one of these in my kitchen drawer before?! I bought the medium-sized scoop originally to make a large batch of cookies for Christmas, but today it came handy when I had leftover batter from my banana bread recipe and it made the perfect scoop to fill a regular-sized cupcake liner! Now I'm thinking about getting the small size for my mini-cupcakes! Super easy and they came out perfectly uniform and totally beats trying to use a spoon! Handles have a nice silicone grip too and help with hand fatigue. :-)" —MiChi K.
Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in three sizes).
2. A handheld soap dispensing brush more comfortable to hold and use than regular sponges (and less gross tbh). Plus this also dispenses liquid soap with just the push of a button.
This comes with the brush that holds soap and a little dispenser you can set it on when you're not using it.
Promising review: "I have to say, I wasn't expecting to be excited when this arrived. My last scrubber, from a manufacturer that will remain nameless, broke within two days, and all the soap leaked out if I sat it bristles down. I hate wasting money, so I used it until it was gross lol. So I read all the reviews and decided this model looked good. Well, slap me and call me stupid! I should have given up and bought this a year ago! This model not only holds the soap and has a little holder, but it also works so much better than last year's model; there can be NO comparison!! It's also comfortable to my arthritic hands. I definitely will recommend this to friends and family!" —Kekahagirl
3. A Dash mandoline slicer to drastically cut down on your cooking prep time. This little guy has 30+ different cut options so whether you need to julienne, dice, slice, it's got you covered!
Promising review: "This item is amazing for both its safety features and ease of use. I am a bit of a kitchen klutz and feel completely at ease and fearless with this device. I made my own potato chips — I sliced with my Dash mandolin and cooked in my Dash air fryer. They tasted just like the ones I get from my favorite Portuguese restaurant but I’m hoping they are much healthier. I honestly think this is a must have for all at home chefs." —Dawn
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six colors).
4. A SinkShroom strainer designed to prevent clogs in your drain so you don't have to stick your hand into a nasty sink full of water, food scraps, and who knows what else to try to clear out the blockage.
BuzzFeed shopping writer Heather Braga has this and says, "I bought this for myself (since I'm clearly a REAL adult) and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually when my husband makes sauce from scratch I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom. My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer."
Promising review: "I’ve been a fan of the SinkShroom and TubShroom, and this is the best product from the line so far. My kitchen sinks simply do not clog any more, so there’s no more reaching into a bunch of water to unclog anything with my hand." —Brady Amerson
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (also available in a two-pack or with a stopper).
5. A snap-on pasta strainer so you don't have to worry about dirtying another dish or making room in your overfilled sink while making your 'simple' weeknight dinner.
Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget — it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
6. A grape cutter that will save you from having to chase all the random grapes that fly off the cutting board when you are just trying to cut them small enough for your kid to safely eat.
Check out a TikTok of a mom quickly quartering grapes.
Promising review: "We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you wont regret it." —Michael
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
7. A handheld garlic press so you can quickly and almost effortlessly mince up the copious amount of garlic you've decided this recipe needs. It also comes with a scraper so you don't lose even one precious piece of garlic.
8. Or a Dracula garlic mincer to add a little ~spice~ to your meal prep gadgets. Just pop a clove or two in the container, press and twist Dracula's head, and reveal your deliciously fresh garlic ready for whatever meal you have planned.
PS: You can also use it for ginger!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
9. A culinary blowtorch so you can feel like a fancy chef on Chopped when you whip it out to caramelize sugar, melt cheese, toast breadcrumbs, or even sear a steak. Trust me, your guests are gonna be impressed.
This blowtorch uses butane, but it is not included…grab some here!
Promising review: "This little torch is a real beast. Great flame range, super easy to fill with butane, lights easily and immediately, excellent safety lock. Love it! Will mostly use it to ignite wood fires and wood pellets in smoke tube for grilling/smoking. May use it in the kitchen from time to time as well. Very excited to see what all we can do with it." —A. Hess
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
10. A nylon chopper perfect for breaking up ground meat, eggs, frozen veggies, and more when stabbing it repeatedly with a spatula is just not cutting it.
The tool is safe to use with nonstick cookware and you can throw it in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
Promising review: "The chopper breaks up ground beef, turkey, etc., much more efficiently than can be done with a spatula or turner. I don't normally purchase incredibly specialized utensils if I can get by without them, however, I think this chopper is worth the money because it saves time and makes cooking easier. The nylon material is heat-resistant and seems durable, but the packaging still directs not to leave on a hot surface when not in use." —Karen
Get it from Amazon for $8.69+ (available in three colors).
11. A pair of herb scissors perfect for anyone who doesn't have the patience or fine motor skills to finely chop a bunch of scallions to garnish their dish.
The scissors have five blades which do the work of 10 knives! They also come with a cleaning comb which makes it easy to get out every last bit of your herbs.
Promising review: "We use HelloFresh which has a lot of meals with scallions. My uniform knife cutting skills are sketchy at best and I just knew there had to be a gadget out there that would make things easier. These herb shears are awesome! They make my life much easier. They are just like the description says, easy to use, easy to clean, and so far seem pretty durable." —Mike Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors).
12. An all-in-one measuring cup to save you space in your drawers *and* to ensure you actually have all the different measuring cup sizes you need so you don't spend an extra 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get the correct amount with the 1/4 and 1/3 cups that are all you own.
It's dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Measurements include: 1 cup, ½ cup, 1/3 cup, ¼ cup, 2 tbsp, 1 tbsp, ½ tbp, 1 tsp, ½ tsp, ¼ tsp, 120 ml, 80 ml, 60 ml, 30 ml, 15 ml, 7.5 ml, 5 ml, 2.5 ml, 1.25 ml.
Promising review: "First of all, I gotta say I don’t cook much and if there’s something I hate after cooking is having to wash all the bunch of utensils I have to use once I use them. This cube has been amazing, I don’t have to wash a million utensils over and over, it’s very easy to use, easy to clean and it’s very handy to use for when I’m meal prepping for the week. I bought this out of curiosity and ended up enjoying it a lot. If a regular guy like me is enjoying it, I’m sure it would be a great tool for people who cooks or bakes in a regular basis." —Daniel Matajira
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
13. Or a set of space-saving measuring spoons with dual sides for wet and dry ingredients. These neatly nest into each other so you never lose track of your teaspoon leaving you to struggle with guesstimating the correct amount.
Promising review: "I got so tired of measuring spoons either getting lost in my drawer or having to deal with ones on rings. These are fantastic. The magnet holds them together well, and I love that each ‘spoon’ is actually two (each end is a different shape, too)." —Alicia S.
Get the set from Amazon for $15.97+ (available in three color combinations).
14. Some reusable food huggers for the times you just wanna add a little squeeze of lemon to your water but don't wanna waste the whole dang thing.
Promising review: "I bought these because I got tired of throwing away plastic bags or plastic wrap for halves of lemons and lime. I wish I had found these sooner! They work great and are perfect for storing halves of citrus." –Cheryl Wood
Get the set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two color combinations).
15. A pie bird that might just revolutionize your baking game. This cutie can help a) keep your pie filling from boiling over (and causing a horrible mess on the bottom of your oven), b) distribute moisture to help avoid a soggy pie bottom, and c) make sure the top crust cooks evenly and doesn't split. You're definitely gonna become the go-to pie maker.
This pie bird is safe for the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler, and dishwasher!
Promising review: "Amazing what difference this bird can make to your pie! I definitely made the best apple pie I've ever made with this little device. For the first time ever, my pie did not spill out juices onto the pan below or into the stove, and the crust was flaky and crisper than it has ever been. I really cannot speak highly enough of how well this pie bird worked. If you make pies, you need one of these!" —Happylakedreamer
Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in five colors).
16. A quiet and easy-to-use manual coffee grinder so you can grind your beans to the exact coarseness you prefer, all without waking up your roommates, partner, or kiddos.
It has an adjustable grind selector with 18 (!!) click settings to ensure you have precise control over the coarseness of your beans.
Promising review: "My old coffee grinder of 15 years finally kicked the bucket and after much research into what would make me a delicious cup of coffee in my French press, I decided on getting the JavaPresse manual grinder. Not only is it super quiet (my roommates are usually asleep while I am making coffee in the morning), but it is very easy and fast to use. It took me a few batches to get the grind right, but my coffee tastes much better now than with my old electric blade grinder." —Fitzmcgee
Get it from Amazon for $37.59.
17. A Bacon Sponge that will save you from using an entire roll of paper towels every time you make bacon. This sponge can absorb up to 10 times (!!) its weight in grease — move over years-old-jar-of-grease, there's a new sheriff in town.
Green City Living is a Colorado-based Etsy shop established in 2012 that specializes in reusable and eco-friendly home goods, with 2.5% of sales donated to the Climate Emergency Fund.
Promising review: "These are amazing!!! They work! And no stains!!! I was concerned that since I don’t use Dawn or a big-name-brand dish soap, my Earth-friendly soap might not cut the grease as well, but that was not the case! My Bacon Sponge is perfectly clean and spotless! I love it! So glad I ordered two! I couldn’t be more pleased!!!" —cattealover
Get it from Green City Living on Etsy for $14.99+ (available in six quantities) or from Amazon for $14.99.
18. A handy butter spreader so you can toss your butter dish and ditch the knives. This stores and easily applies butter onto allllll surfaces, and yes, that includes the ever awkward corn on the cob.
Promising review: "I remember having a butter holder, exactly like this, for corn when I was growing up. It was nice to find the same one. No more having the butter slip off the corn when applying it with a knife. No more tricks like using a fork and having the butter melt through the tines or how about buttering a slice of bread and wrapping it around the corn and spinning it. It’s also great that the butter is covered at one end by the plunger and the other end by a cover. This way, the butter will stay fresh and always ready for corn when you need it." —Allison
Get it from Amazon for $5.87.
19. And an Oxo Good Grips corn peeler that will help you effortlessly get all the way down to the cob without causing an absolute corn disaster all over your kitchen (all while still leaving like half the goodness stuck to the cob).
Promising review: "I have previously only used a knife to remove corn from the cob and I always felt like I left too much on. With this corn prep peeler, it was extremely easy to get all the corn. The head is curved so it aligns with the cob and the downward motion had very little resistance making removal effortless." —Kelly Morriss
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in four other peeler types).
20. An adjustable thickness cheese slicer to upgrade your charcuterie boards (or make it easier to get a quick little snacky snack).
This slicer comes with an extra wire in case the first one wears out!
Promising review: "Cheese is considered a major food group in our house, so replacing our broken slicer was an absolute necessity. This slicer is an absolute dream. It's very sturdy (without being too heavy) and it cuts extra sharp cheddar as if it were room temperature butter! Don't waste your time and money on a cheap slicer — this one will probably last for years." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors).
21. A pair of bear claws designed to make shredding meats sooo much easier. Now you can effortlessly create the perfect pulled pork without burning the living crap out of your fingers and ending up covered in grease.
Promising review: "Just yesterday, I was using these claws to turn a roast I was browning, and I declared my undying love for them. Then I remembered I haven't yet written a review for them. They seriously have changed my life as far as cooking meat. Flipping a chicken or a goose or a duck, turning a roast, transferring a roast from the rack onto the board for cutting, holding the meat steady while cutting--the claws do it all. They are like salad hands for your meat. Buy them and see your life change, too!" —Anonymous
Get them from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two styles).
22. A wine aerator that'll transform the way you drink wine. This will help your wine breathe ~instantly,~ giving it a more complex flavor and a smoother finish, all within seconds, AKA you don't need one of those fancy bottles that requires the wine to sit for a while… like seriously, why would you wanna wait?
23. And a "Cork Pop" designed with a needle that drives through the cork to use pressurized air to pop it off. Reviewers say it's especially good for dried up corks that might break off with traditional wine openers.
24. A terra-cotta sugar-saver because your brown sugar is NOT in fact ruined just because it got all hard and clumpy. This adorable little guy will bring it back to life (and keep it that way!) and have you baking homemade cookies in no time.
Just soak it in water for 20 minutes and place it in your sugar to soften and maintain moisture for approximately 3–6 months.
Promising review: "I was nervous to try them in case they were a waste of money. Yesterday, I followed the directions, i.e. soaked them in water for 20 minutes, then plopped one each in containers of hard-as-concrete dark brown sugar and one of light brown sugar. I didn't dry them, just dropped them in on top. So today, I took the containers down and looked, and each container of formerly concrete-hard sugar was easy to measure out, no lumps, it's a miracle!" —NGS
Get two from Amazon for $8.83+ (also available in a three-pack).
25. A veggie spiralizer that'll make eating veggies more fun. This tool uses 12 super-sharp stainless-steel blades to slice through squash, zucchini, and more.
Promising review: "I almost bought a countertop spiralizer before realizing I didn’t have the counter space. I 'settled' for this instead. Haha! As it turns out, I thoroughly enjoy this little gadget! Works great! I use it nearly every day. It is one of my favorite kitchen tools. Very highly recommend this!" —Luke316
Get it from Amazon for $12.10.
26. Or a compact 8-in-1 spiralizer to not only spiralize, but to help tackle some of those super annoying prep jobs you typically delegate to literally anyone who walks through the kitchen. We're talking grating cheese, juicing fruits, shredding veggies, and more.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor *and* zoodle-lover Emma Lord loves this gadget: "I recently purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my apartment is the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too — I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!), super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe."
Promising review: "LOVE THIS. I absolutely love this. So far I've used the thicker spiralizer, two of the grater things, and then the juicer. I love how easy this makes keeping everything together. And it's sharp so it actually cuts through things without you needing to work super hard to do it. The only thing I don't love is that the spiralizers are a bit hard to clean, but I guess that's with all of them? Not sure, this is the first I've owned. But, overall I'd recommend it :)" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
27. An absorbent faucet drip catcher so you can finally and *permanently* cut mopping up the puddles around your sink off your daily to-do list.
Hustle & Sew is a Saint Helens, Oregon-based Etsy shop with lots of fun and functional handmade goods like face masks, bags, and stasher scrunchies.
Promising review: "This product is awesome! I have four kids who take care of the dishes after dinner each night and to say they are messy would be an understatement! This little water catcher has solved the puddle that used to surround my faucet at the end of each night. Thank you!!" —cadencewilliams2
Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
28. A Kochblume spill stopper because somehow a watched pot never boils, but always boils over. This will trap excess foam and liquid to prevent it from spilling and inevitably burning into a hard-to-clean mess.
Promising review: "Wow wow wow, I have no words to describe how great this product is. I'm a mom with a large family who cooks and bakes all the time, and there is never a time that something doesn't spill over even when standing and watching the pot. With this, life has just gotten easy. I think I'm throwing out all my pot covers after using this."—Rackel
Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three colors).
29. A truly genius cup rinser to make the horrible process of doing the dishes at least slightly less awful. Instead of trying to stuff a sponge into your tallest glasses, just give it a few presses on this and it'll be crystal clear in seconds.
Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. To install, you can use the instructions and materials provided to easily hook it up to the hot water line. Note that this won't install on sinks without a flat edge!
Promising review: "This installed easier than removing the existing soap dispenser, which was always a nightmare. This has the same type of jetted sprayer that you would use to jet out a drain line, so yeah it'll spray the stink off of a turd. It cleans baby bottles, Contigo, yeti, spaghetti sauce, baby food, mason jars with a couple of presses. Highly recommended over the messy soap dispenser!" —Chuq
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two finishes).
30. A vented microwave food cover, a BPA-free perforated lid to help prevent spills and splatters. It even allows steam to escape so you don't end up with soggy leftovers from condensation. AND it collapses down to less than an inch tall so you can easily store it when you aren't using it.
Promising review: "This is my third one. One was melted on the stove burner recently by someone I seem to have married who doesn't know fire is hot yet. The other lasted through five years of heavy use. It did get pitted along the inside here and there; I don't know from what, but I suspect the aforementioned person. This folds absolutely flat and can be used as is or partially opened for a thinner cover to put over a bowl, say. Not difficult to clean since things don't really stick to it but if you have a mess it just takes a small second to make sure the folds end holes are all clean. This is also great for making microwave popcorn, putting corn in bowl and using this to allow air flow. It will raise up as popcorn pops and fills bowl. Another neat gift to give someone since it's a handy gadget that saves space and something you'd use a lot." —Ms. Windermere
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes, three colors, and a three-pack).
31. A kitchen food scale with a (removable) mixing bowl to help you accurately measure all your ingredients for baking so you don't end up with a sheet of one giant melted cookie instead of the 12 (properly formed) cookies you were trying to make.
It accurately measures wet *and* dry ingredients so your recipes come out perfectly every time. Plus wayyyy fewer dishes will have to be washed 🙌🏼. The scale easily converts between ounces, grams, and milileters.
This requires two AAA batteries, you can grab some here.
Promising review: "For anyone who does a lot of cooking and/or baking, this is a great kitchen gadget. It can take a lot of weight and the bowl is a more multi-functional vessel for holding whatever you might need to weigh, as opposed to a flat scale. I use this thing multiple times per week and love it." —MistressViolet
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
32. An electric knife that'll absolutely revolutionize carving turkey, roast beef, ham, and more by making it cut through like butter instead of sawing through and ending up with super uneven (and frankly unappetizing looking) pieces. It's also great for getting clean slices of bread or squishier veggies like tomatoes.
Check out a TikTok of the electric knife in action.
Promising review: "Super easy to hold and use, the on button is perfectly placed, and the blade length is just right for carving turkeys or large cuts of beef. Super sharp blades and a case with meat fork makes for a complete package." —john alexander
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two styles).
33. An automatic pan stirrer for those recipes that require *constant* stirring. I mean, let's be honest, who is actually standing there and stirring nonstop?! Now you can have this nifty little robot handle that job.
Check out the automatic pan stirrer in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "Honestly I laughed at myself for buying this. I stopped laughing the first time I used it! What a help! It freed me up to do other things while it stirred the sauce that needed constant attention. Bought another one! Not laughing now!" —Luvdvm
Get it from UncommonGoods for $25+ (available as battery-power or rechargeable).
34. A set of Keurig cleaning cups if you're starting to notice a ~funky~ taste in all your beverages after having your Keurig for a long time and never cleaning it. Don't worry, you're not alone, I didn't know you were supposed to be doing anything special to clean them either.
Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything runny correctly and clean." —Lauren
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a 12- or 18-pack).
35. A watermelon cutter that will change your fruit eating game. Efficiently and effectively cutting up a watermelon may be one of those things that has never been fully figured out…until now! Reviewers rave about how easy this is to use, and they say it can cut a whole watermelon in five minutes. Now how many minutes until you've eaten it all?!
Promising review: "This tool is so handy!! I hate cutting watermelon, and this is so fast and easy to use and easy to wash. I cut a watermelon in less than five minutes. It cuts yellow watermelon too!!! The included baller is great for the small leftover, hard-to-reach places." —Andrea Draine
Get it from Amazon for $12.37.
36. An under-cabinet lid opener for anyone who is tired of mustering up all their strength to open a jar of salsa!! Plus, this one is mounted under your cabinet so it's basically invisible and you won't have to worry about having *another* gadget taking up space on your countertop.
Check out a TikTok of the jar opener in action (or read BuzzFeed's review of the EZ Off Jar Opener).
Promising review: "Forgot to remove this from previous home so we are on our second device. Can't figure out how we never knew this existed. Mounting is simple, overall depth is shallow so that it is virtually undetectable from the counter. Simple old school construction (no moving parts) means that it will last a very long time. It has opened every single jar we have tried it on. Smart product at a smart price. I don't even try to open jars with my hands anymore......I just use this. You will not be sorry you purchased it." —Ron
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (also available in a two-pack).
37. Or a handy multitool jar opener to open even the most stuck-on lid. Now you don't have to look like Patrick Star trying to open a jar when you just want to munch on a pickle.
Bonus! A lot of reviewers with arthritis swear by these for pain-free, easy opening, and parents say it makes it a lot easier for kids to open jars, too!
The jar opener also comes with a nifty 5-in-1 tool that has a bottle cap grip, jar breaker claw, pull tab assister, soda can tab opener, and bottle opener.
Promising review: "Having had arthritis in my hands since my teens, I have used many jar/bottle openers out of necessity. The Oxo ones work well, but wear out within a year because of the volume of usage. This fabulous opener has yet to find a container that it cannot easily open, even bottles of water with heavily sealed caps. I love it so much I ordered another one to have in two drawers on either end of my kitchen. This gripper does not exacerbate my carpel tunnel syndrome, either. I would give it more stars if I could." —Patrizia L.
Get it from Amazon for $7.87+ (available in 15 colors).
38. A "splatypus" spatula that, unlike Perry, does actually do a lot. This little guy will help you scrape every last bit out of your jars and containers. (Thank God, we wouldn't want to let any Nutella go to waste.)
Promising review: "This works great when scraping food off of the side of jars. My kids love using it because it is cute and reminds them of Perry the platypus on Phineas and Ferb! I am just glad they are using it instead of throwing away the peanut butter jar which probably had at least one more sandwich left in it." —Mom of 3 Boys
Get it from Amazon for $9.
39. A handheld heated bag sealer to put your old chip clips out of business, because with this, you can reseal the bag to keep them just as fresh as when you opened them the first time (and maybe hide the evidence that you broke into your partner's special snacks).
It also comes with a small bag cutter at the bottom for easy access when it comes time to reopen!
Promising review: "Oh my God! I love this sealer!!! I can now get rid of all of the clips that I bought to save cereal, chips, rice or anything else that comes in a plastic bag. I know some may use a flat iron to seal bags, but this is compact, easily hangs in your kitchen, heats up immediately, doesn’t need to be plugged in and is so easy to use. It also had a hidden razor to cut open sealed bags. Buy one for yourself and gift everyone you love!" —Deborah C.
Get it from Amazon for $11.89 (available in four colors).
40. An Angry Mama steaming microwave cleaner that truly encompasses all your feelings after your partner let their sauce explode in the microwave...AGAIN. Just add water and vinegar, microwave mama, and watch the crud come melting off your microwave.
Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn, and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" —Desiree Barlow
Get it from Amazon for $7.55+ (available in two colors and a two-pack).
41. A pickle keeper and juice strainer to forever put an end to having to stick your fingers into the full jar of pickles or olives and getting them slimy and gross. When you're ready to have a snack, just flip the strainer and all the juice will flow to the bottom.
Check out a TikTok of the pickle juice strainer in action.
Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them.

42. A popular microwave pasta cooker so you can cook dinner while doing a million other things and *not* have to worry about any pots boiling over. Just put some water and dry noodles in this little gadget, push some buttons on a microwave, strain it right from the container, and before you know it you'll be eating the easiest meal of your life.
Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I try to limit my monthly food expenditures and the Fasta Pasta helps me work in at least one inexpensive pasta meal every week. If not more. First of all, I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big clean up afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap. No big pot; no colander; no spaghetti fork to lift out the pasta. Just the easy to clean Fasta Pasta, and a pot to heat up the sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" —Smilin Sam

43. An instant read long probe meat thermometer to give you a precise and FAST temperature reading so you don't have to worry about keeping the oven open too long while you check if your tenderloin is finished cooking.
Promising review: "A great thermometer. I can even see ambient temperature with it. The sharp point goes in easily and seeing the accurate temp fast can't be beat. You can even clip it to your shirt and with the ring I actually have it hanging in a conspicuous place in my kitchen so I don't have to keep diving into the utensil drawer. It sure exceeded my expectations." —B.C. Poppe

44. An easy-to-grip Oxo veggie brush so you can finally stop eating ~dirt~ seasoned vegetables. Idk about you but I have personally never experienced a potato as clean as the one in this picture, so now I'm just wondering how much dirt I've consumed throughout my life. Brb, gotta go get one of these RN.
Promising review: "This brush is awesome!! I added some before and after photos of a potato I was scrubbing, and you can see how well the dirt comes off! Very sturdy and durable and the bristles are stiff, which is optimal for cleaning. Easy to hold and does a great job. Definitely recommend!!" —McKinley
