1. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit here to simplify your meal prepping! Forget chopping your veggies one by one and having to clean a cutting board when you can just toss 'em in this device! And when you're done, just pop out the interchangeable blades and throw 'em in the dishwasher!
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors and two styles).
2. A silverware sorter that'll hold up to 24 pieces of cutlery while taking up barely any space at all so you can actually fit all your tools in one drawer.
Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro
Get it on Amazon for $9.99.
3. A clip-on silicone colander to take the ~strain~ out of straining noodles. It's flexible, cleans up easy, and can be attached to cookware of almost any size!
Here's why BuzzFeed market editor Abby Kass loves this:
"I recently picked one of these up, and it is such a game changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it fits every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!"
Promising review: "Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I’ll be ordering another! It’s very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" —ShylohsRedShadow
Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in four colors).
4. A Zulay milk frother — it'll kick the coffee you make at home up a notch so you can feel less ~FOAM-O~ when you walk by your favorite coffee shop.
This frother comes with a stand to keep it upright on your countertop, or it can be stored in your drawer.
Promising review: "I love this product. I wanted a milk frother to complement matcha lattes and coffees for something a little extra on the weekend. Completely worth it. I use oat milk, and this frother works great. It's easy to use and clean, especially with the attachment it rests in. I am still using the same batteries I put in from December 2021, and I have seen no issues with the speed of this product. I even purchased one to give to a friend as a birthday gift, and she loved it." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 45 colors).
5. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser ingeniously designed to store bread in a more airtight way than just keeping it in the bag. Now your bread will stay fresh for longer! Plus, it cleverly makes it easy to dispense slices one by one, and protects bread from getting all smushed up.
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two colors).
6. A pan and pot lid organizer for anyone who's currently looking around their tiny kitchen trying to figure out how to neatly store their mountains of cookware.
You can use it upright or on its side.
Promising review: "I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —L
Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).
7. A Souper Cube so you can store soup or sauce in convenient single-serving portions that make it easy to defrost *only* the amount you need! Each tray has four spaces that fit one cup of liquid each. Now when you don't feel like making an entire meal from scratch, you can say "WAIT — we have soup!"
Souper Cubes is a US-based small business that specializes in bake-and-freeze storage products.
Promising review: "So happy that I found these. I’m the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it’s impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I’m ready for the next batch!" —Debbie R. Texas
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three colors and packs of two)
8. An oil mister because no one feels like ending up with greasy hands every time they dress a salad or do a little cooking.
Promising review: "This is a great item for lightly spraying salads, roasting vegetables, or adding some oil to a prepared plate of pasta. Avoids using more oil than necessary so that’s a savings right there. I also use it to put a light coating of oil on all my cast-iron cookware to prevent rust. Best of all, it looks great on the dinner table. Lots of uses which really makes it an asset in the kitchen. It seems that it should last a while so I think it is worth the few bucks spent." —clancy
Get it from Amazon for $11.39 (also available as a pack of two).
9. A strong magnetic stove shelf that makes transforming your stove into extra storage space a no-brainer.
Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and colors).
10. A one-handed salad spinner in case the thought of drying your greens by hand and *still* winding up with soggy lettuce makes you *less* motivated to throw together a salad. With this, you can simply press down on the pump to spin your greens, and hit the brake button when they're dry!
Promising review: "I would literally eat semi-wet lettuce because I could never get my salad completely dry after washing. This makes me want to make salad all the time now. Being able to have completely dry lettuce and your salad not being ruined by extra bits of water is top tier." —Aliyma Lewis
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
11. A mini knife sharpener — now you can stop struggling to get your ancient dull blades to be the faithful collaborators they once were. This'll bring 'em back to life so your wallet can stop shuddering at the thought of purchasing a brand-new set.
Promising review: "I gotta say this is the best sharpener I ever bought in my whole life. I got it today and brought it to work. I work at a Japanese restaurant as a sushi chef and I sharpened it at work and, wow, my knife was as sharp as a samurai sword! Even my coworkers were surprised and asked me to order one for them. Thanks for the product ! Now I don't have to use the stone or sharpen rod that much anymore." —Are
Get it from Amazon for $10.40+ (available in six colors and styles).
Read one BuzzFeeder's full review of the mini knife sharpener to learn more.
12. A six-piece fridge and pantry organization set in case your tiny kitchen came with a tiny fridge (and three roommates). These bins will help you squeeze more in there while also making it easier to quickly find what you're looking for.
Promising review: "I love these things so much. I just got my first apartment with my boyfriend and it looked so messy in our little fridge and now it looks really appealing and everything is easy to get to. The quality of them is so good, I’m honestly impressed they’re very sturdy and the egg holder is so cute and holds 14 eggs!" —Faith Sperry
Get the set of six from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four colors and as a set of 12).
13. A nonstick, food-safe baking mat because cooking in the oven is even *easier* if you can avoid having to scrape a baking pan clean after.
Promising review: "I use these mats multiple times a day. They make cleanup super easy, which is really important in my hectic life. They wipe off easily with just water." —Tasia Lung
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two styles and multipacks).
14. And a set of nonstick oven liners to turn the concept of ~cleaning the oven~ into a thing of the past. Your back will thank you. And when the liners need to be cleaned, simply put them in the dishwasher or rinse them by hand!
Heads up that you should place this on the bottom *rack* of the oven, not the very bottom of the oven — that can prevent proper heat flow!
Promising review: "I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill, or running the 'oven clean' option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while.
I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for it to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner.
It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn't the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!" —Hpg
Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99.
15. A pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet because it'll add an extra depth of flavor that you've never been able to coax out of your plain ol' pan and make the perfect sear within reach. I've got one, and I've gotta say, the hype is legit. This thing makes a serious difference when cooking everything from eggs and veggies to steak and fish and much much more — IYKYK.
It'll also make you wonder why you've been clinging to your worn-out, scratched-up pans whose ~nonstick~ glory days are well behind them. The days of soaking, scrubbing, and wondering what synthetic coatings or chemicals are seeping into their food are long gone! This thing cleans up super easily *without* soap, won't scratch with metal utensils, and it'll remain nonstick long into the future if you keep it properly seasoned. You can even use it safely on the grill or in the oven!
Promising review: "This pan is amazing. If you have never tried cast iron, you should. I have used (far, far more expensive) nonstick pans in the past, and while they don't scratch as easily as other nonstick pans, they still wear out. This pan, on the other hand, is indestructible. I have left the heat on and forgotten about it, no problem. I can use a sharp metal spatula without worrying. The iron even seems to add a bit of flavor to the food.
As for nonstickiness, the other day I cooked an egg in it with just a tiny bit of sausage grease. The egg didn't even try to stick. For cleaning, it is a breeze as you just run some water over it and brush off any gunk. If you find out a way to get something to stick to it, you can just put it in the oven to burn it off and then re-season. (Try that with a nonstick pan.) Last but not least, this is the new weapon of choice if a burglar comes." —M. Champ
Get it from Amazon for $6.90+ (available in six sizes).
16. A plant-based stainless-steel cleaner and polish — it quickly dissolves fingerprints and smudges on kitchen appliances so keeping up with the carnage left behind by your little ones isn't such a chore.
Promising review: "This is hands-down the only product that has ever perfectly cleaned my stainless steel appliances. It deserves 10 stars because nothing else comes close to removing streaks and toddler fingerprints as easily and completely as this. I have tried for years to get my appliances to look like new. Everyone who has stainless should own this." —Danielle
Get a bottle from Amazon for $16.95 (also available as a pack of two or six).
17. A mind-blowingly brilliant Whiskware pancake batter mixer because making batter doesn't have to be a pain. Just add your ingredients, toss in the BlenderBall, shake, and pour the mixture out of the convenient spout designed to make it easy to drop the perfect amount out and even draw shapes or patterns.
All parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Breakfast has never been faster or easier! And it doesn't make a noise that will wake everyone up while I am mixing. The silicone tip is real silicone (for those wondering about the pinch test) and does well against cast iron. I have never been able to get my pancakes this fluffy until now! So great! Planning on buying more from this brand! It is also super easy to clean. The bottom comes off to fill it up and it turns into a holder for the bottle by setting the top into the bottom setting. It suggests putting in your liquid first then your mix but if making a large amount you might have to gently tap it a bit." —KC Hunter
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
18. An Instant Pot to make your friends and family think you're a brilliant cook when really you just followed a few simple directions and let this useful device do the rest. You won't believe how quick and simple it is to make dishes that actually taste incredible using this appliance that's a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté-r, yogurt maker, and warmer all in one!
It can prepare food up to 70% faster than other methods. It can keep food warm automatically for up to 10 hours, and there are three temperatures for sautéing and slow cooking. The inner cooking pot, lid, and steam rack are dishwasher-safe! Check out Instant Pot review for more deets!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two-person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman
Get it from Amazon for $83.70+ (available in three sizes and styles).
19. A set of silicone stove counter gap covers so you can stop dropping bits of food into that tiny crevice between the stove and countertop that you *never* clean — because that's how you get uninvited critters treating your apartment like their own personal buffet. Now you can tell them the kitchen's closed!
The covers just slip right into the gap — there's no adhesive involved — so you can easily remove and clean them whenever necessary.
Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now, when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in three sizes and three colors).
20. A lid organizer — it'll make sealing up your leftovers less of a hassle.
It'll hold round and square lids up to 9 inches wide and it only takes one minute to set up! Also, one reviewer shared that a sweet note from the brand in their package revealed that this YouCopia brand is a woman-owned small business!
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provide flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get it from Amazon for $17.80+ (available in three sizes, a set of two, and expanders and dividers).
21. A Takeya cold brew maker so you can stop overpaying for your fave daily beverage. This awesome device features an airtight lid and stainless-steel filter to keep coffee fresh for up to two weeks!
Just add up to 6 tablespoons of your go-to coffee beans into the filter, fill it with water, and leave it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Then, remove the filter from the pitcher, and — BAM — you've got some delicious coffee.
Promising review: "This was my first cold brewing experience, but this product made it easy! Just put your coffee in the filter, fill it with water, and forget it in the fridge for a day! Plus, I love that everything comes apart easily and can be put in the dishwasher." —shackelforrd
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes).
Check out one BuzzFeeder's full review of the Takeya cold brew maker to learn more about why we love it.
22. An in-drawer bamboo block if you have lots of knives, but nowhere safe to store them.
Promising review: "I love this product! Keeps my knife drawer organized and makes it easy to find the one I need because I keep them in a particular order. I purchased the one that holds 12 and now I wish I went with the 16 because I do want to add more knives to my collection. There is enough space to grab the knives comfortably. It would be fantastic if there was a slot for scissors and a cleaver somehow but overall, very satisfied with the product and plan on purchasing another." —H
Get it from Amazon for $26.74+ (available for 12 or 16 knives).
23. Or a 17-piece knife set that comes with a stylish acrylic organizer so you can fashionably display them while saving drawer space! This set contains 13 professional chef knives, kitchen scissors, a peeler, and a premium quality 2-stage knife sharpener to ensure that you have all the tools you need in the kitchen to slice, dice, and beyond!
The set comes with 13 knives, a pair of kitchen scissors, a peeler, and a two-stage knife sharpener.
Promising review: "These knives are great! They stay super sharp, they’re comfortable to hold, and I love how much counter space it leaves as opposed to a big bulky knife block. Fits perfectly in my minimalist kitchen!!! And it looks great on my counter, being one of the few things that I keep on my countertop! It is the perfect amount of knives without being too many knives (I don’t like things in excess)! I have never had a cheese knife before, and this baby is my favorite one in the whole set! LOL! It slices through hard cheeses like butter! Have not tried on soft cheese, but I’m sure it’ll be great because it is super sharp! I can’t say enough about how much I love these knives!!" —Sadie Allen
Get the 17-piece set from Amazon for $44.99 (available with black or silver knives and other set options).
24. A rapid egg cooker — it'll take making breakfast for the whole family off of your to-do list now that school has started back up and everyone's trying to get out of the house at the same time. This impressive lil' device can make hard-boiled, soft-boiled, poached, and scrambled eggs in just minutes! It can even make an omelet if you wanna feel fancy without the extra effort.
See it in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Soft-boiled eggs took me about 11 minutes to make. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there...peels come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!??!?" —rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $16.14+ (available in eight colors).
25. A space-saving can-dispensing rack so you can bid farewell to the leaning towers of peas, beans, soups, and sauces taking over your pantry.
It holds up to 36 cans!
Promising review: "We have a storage cabinet in our garage that I like to keep stocked with nonperishable food since we never know when we'll end up on a two-week quarantine these days. I was having a hard time keeping up with what we had and it was just a jumbled mess. My rack came today and it's so much more organized. It's super sturdy and it only took a couple of minutes to put together. I filled it up and I was able to fit 44 cans since some are tiny...five stars!" —Kimberly C.
Get it from Amazon for $21.22 (available in four finishes).
26. A HyperChiller device that'll turn any hot or cold non-carbonated drink into an iced one in *less than 60 seconds* WITHOUT watering it down. It's great for turning steaming hot coffee into iced coffee immediately, but try it out with wine, cocktails, and other beverages you wanna chill quickly!
Promising review: "Got this for my boyfriend who hates hot coffee but makes his coffee with the Keurig. This little thing fits right on the freezer door, cleans really easily, and cools down whatever you put into it so quickly. We have even used it to cool down wine and other spirits that aren't carbonated. It beats adding ice to a drink you don't want to water down!" —J_Thrill
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
27. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets to take the guesswork out of using your favorite kitchen appliance, and easily avoid winding up with over- and under-cooked food.
Promising review: "Bought an air fryer several months ago which I haven't used a whole lot because it came with only a few recipes but not enough info on other items to cook. The Lotteli cheat sheet gives you cooking times and temperatures for a lot of your common everyday foods in a magnetized easy-to-read, two-sheet combo that fills in where the air fryer pamphlet that came with the unit leaves out. I also bought an air fryer cookbook but this only comes with specific recipes, whereas the cheat sheet fills in the void for quick basic needs. Very happy with this purchase! 😁" —B. Frank Smith
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors, two styles, and a Spanish-language version).
28. A Beast Blender for making nutrient-rich smoothies and infusions full of delicious fruits and veggies. It somehow manages to be both quiet *and* super powerful, and it comes in black, white, or gray so you can choose the color that best fits your space.
Promising review: "I make smoothies every morning, and have for many years. I have been through so many blenders, from Bullet to Vitamix and everything in between. This is hands down my favorite blender yet! It is so quiet! I had to walk away when blending with Nutribullet because it would hurt my ears. No more! It is quiet, but inside it is blending like a beast! Just one minute and everything is perfectly blended. Even the greens are micronized in there, unlike other blenders that would leave larger pieces of kale or spinach behind. To top it off, it is a beautiful design, so I am happy to give it real estate on my countertop!" —Allison G
Get it from our Goodful shop for $165 (available in three colors).
29. A turntable so you have an easier time finding spices, oils, condiments, and more in your maxed-out cabinets instead of having to dig your way to the hard-to-reach corners. Some reviewers even use them in the fridge!
Promising review: "I bought these for the small cabinets over my stove to hold the oils and sprays I use when cooking, and it was a perfect fit. It’s so much easier to grab things without digging or knocking other things over. Couldn’t be happier. They turn very smoothly, wipe clean easily, and grip the bottom of the products so they don’t fall over." —HG
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 colors and a pack of two).
30. Or a two-tiered turntable for compact storage and easy access to your favorite seasonings.
Promising review: "This turned a mess of a cabinet into an organized cabinet. We use A LOT of spices and it was always a nightmare to find the right one. Now I just spin to find what I want. It’s a nice height, too, and allows for different bottle sizes to be placed on the racks." —Vegmom
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 12 colors).
31. A vented microwave food cover, because the last thing you need when trying to quickly heat your leftovers is spills, splatters, and explosions that'll leave you with more of a mess than you bargained for.
Promising review: "Sometimes the simple things in life are often the most impactful. On far too many occasions I make a mess in the microwave — think minestrone soup all over the insides. This collapsible cover saves me from having to clean up explosions, and the even worse tongue-lashing from my wife. It covers several sizes of plates and vessels. The vent also releases steam, reducing the soggy outcomes you get when using only paper. The folding handle is also very useful. Overall, it is a well-designed tool that every microwave should have. The price is right and it pays for itself with the reduced stress and angst. GREAT PRODUCT!" —Ms. Windermere
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes, three colors, and a set of three).
32. An over-the-cabinet storage shelf capable of maximizing the amount of stuff one lil' cubby can hold. It's ideal for cutting boards, wax paper boxes, and more!
Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile — hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in a two-pack).
33. A portable, microwaveable Rapid Ramen Cooker for anyone who wants the flavor and texture of stovetop cooked noods without the hassle and wait time that stands between you and a delicious meal.
Just add your noodles, fill with water to the water line marked inside the cooker, microwave for three minutes, and that's it! Perfect ramen noodles! Plus, this is BPA-free and can be put in the dishwasher!
Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable, BPA-free kitchen products.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. Crack the noodles, throw 'em in, put the spice packet in, fill the water to the line, microwave for four minutes, and they're perfect. Not too hard, not too soft. You can even add in frozen veggies at the start (just make sure they're under the noodles or on the side), and throw cheese on at the very last 30 seconds if you want. The handles don't get hot, so you can grab it right out of the microwave, and it's easy to clean to boot! This is just a DREAM for me when I'm feeling lazy. Oh, and they're dishwasher safe." —Jessica B
Get it from Amazon for $10.98+ (available in 14 colors, two styles, and multipacks).
34. A set of silicone-coated kitchen utensils to replace your mismatched collection and make your kitchen look more unified and, dare I say, adult? Choose the color that works best for your space, and find a cute spot to display them for maximum effect.
Can withstand temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 446 degrees F/230 degrees Celsius. Includes 24 tools and a holder.
Promising review: "I love the neutral color. I find them easy to clean. The cup has come in handy, even though I wasn’t planning on using it. The measuring cups are a little too flexible for my liking, but it was really amazing finding such a comprehensive set of kitchen tools with a stylish design. I purchased this set because I moved into a new apartment with like zero kitchen equipment and this was the perfect set for me." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $27.04+ (available in eight colors).
35. A pack of adhesive cord bundlers that easily stick to the backs of appliances so you can get that tangled web of power cords on your kitchen counter back under control.
36. A kitchen wrap box organizer for anyone who shudders every time they need to dig through that one drawer that's always overflowing with boxes of foil, wax paper, and plastic wrap.
Promising review: "Just what I needed! Great product! It stands perfectly well with or without boxes in it. It is a real game-changer for my cupboard because now my boxes are organized and not all mumble-jumbled falling out when I open the door!" —Bethay
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two styles and three sizes).
37. A self-adhesive paper towel holder you can easily mount on the wall or under a cabinet — all without breaking out the drill! Now that giant roll of paper towels won't be constantly taking up valuable counter space. (There's also hardware included if you'd rather use that, but reviewers say the adhesive is super sturdy)!
38. An amazing Always pan designed to replace eight pieces of cookware because that's *seven* other pieces of cookware you won't have to store now!
Our Place is a WOC-founded brand bringing inventive cookware and kitchen products. You can braise, sear, steam, strain, sauté, fry, boil, and more with this pan. It does the same job as a fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. The spatula is designed to fit neatly on the pan's handle. The pan is dishwasher-safe and only weighs 3 pounds.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Taylor Steele has to say about the Always Pan: "As someone who neither enjoys cooking nor is particularly good at it, the Always Pan has made being in the kitchen feel like less of a chore. Having one pan that can do everything means I don't have to second-guess every cooking decision I make.
I can boil and prepare pasta in it. And I can roast Brussels sprouts. And I can make the perfect fried egg. And I can steam dumplings. The best part is that everything slides so seamlessly out of the pan and onto the plate, which also makes cleanup super fast and easy. Both the amateur (read: reluctant) cook and the more seasoned chef will enjoy creating fan favorites and new recipes in the Always Pan!"
Get it from Our Place for $150 (available in 10 colors).
39. A multipurpose over-the-sink dish drying rack — roll it right up when you're done so it doesn't take up a huge chunk of prime countertop real estate! It's also great for thawing meat, straining veggies, pouring liquids and powders over so any excess falls straight into the sink (no mess!), *and* using as extra counter space so you have somewhere to put cutting boards, ingredients, plates, and more during meal prep. AND, it's dishwasher safe! Does your counter-hogging dish rack do all of that? I didn't think so.
Promising review: "I've used this for about six or seven months so far and can't imagine living without it! I use it Every. Single. Day. It's great as a strainer as I'm prepping veggies; it holds a ton. It's perfect as an extra shelf/counter space when I'm making several things at once. It's awesome to set hot pans on, fill with water, and let them soak for a while.
And it's especially helpful to defrost on! Things defrost so much faster on this — I think it's because there is terrific air flow all around the item, but who knows? Most importantly, the food is up where I can see it while it's defrosting, instead of sitting down in the sink.
Before this rack, every now and then I'd forget something was thawing down in the sink, give the room a quick eye sweep before going to bed, and wake up in the a.m. to the meat that sat out all night. Never happens with this; haven't had to toss a single thing. It is probably the most versatile, handy, useful thing I own." —Susan

40. Some Command hooks in case the only open storage space left in your kitchen is the wall. These sturdy adhesive hooks are strong enough to hold a wide variety of items and require *no tools* to install. Plus, you can move or remove them whenever you want without leaving behind any damage or annoying sticky residue. Now you can use your walls to reduce clutter!
Promising review: "Absolutely love these! I have bought them three times already on Amazon. I have been trying to organize my kitchen utensils. I have minimal counter space and ceramic tile walls behind my counter. I am unable to risk drilling into the tile or into the underside of my cabinets. These sticky hooks are perfect!!
They adhere to the tile AND to the wood laminate of my upper cabinets. They also are great on the painted wall and the bumpy side of my refrigerator. I started using these around March of 2020 and I have not had a single one fall down. I have various sizes of kitchen utensils and items hanging from them." —Tigerakp

41. A Keurig mini coffee brewer perfect for anyone who doesn't have space for a giant coffee machine and really only needs single servings anyway!
You can brew any cup size between 6–12 ounces of coffee.
Promising review: "I wanted to have more room in my condo kitchen, so I bought this little Keurig and put the great big one away. I was able to put my toaster next to it, and it freed up so much room. It is very easy to use.
The color matches my walls, and I like not having that big well of water to fill. It takes just a bit longer to make a cup of coffee, but it brews my Pike Place Starbucks just as well as the big one did. It is actually more convenient because of not having to deal with that big plastic thing on the back, and because you can make exactly enough coffee for your cup if you use your cup to fill it!" —Proflizzie

42. A jar-opening gadget you can attach under your cabinets to give ya a helping hand with those jars that just do *not* want to open. Now, there's nothing standing between you and your pickles, which is the way it should be!
Mount it under a kitchen cabinet, cupboard, counter, or shelf using the included peel-and-stick adhesive and screws.
Promising review: "I have tried a million different tools and gadgets for help in opening jars of all sizes, and each one had its own issues! Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters." —cat lover

43. A plastic bag holder because that cabinet under your sink has a lot more to offer than just being the place we keep plastic bags stuffed with, you guessed it, more plastic bags.
It comes with screws but can also be mounted with adhesives.
Promising review: "For the price, you simply can't go wrong with this dispenser. It looks great, hides the plastic bags well, and I find the bags are super easy to remove when you need one. Such a simple thing but it really works. I'm so glad I bought this!!! I took one of the other reviewer's suggestions and 'wrap' the bag around my hand before I insert the bag into the dispenser (to form a loop of sorts). That suggestion was great! It makes the bags much less tangled and they come right out when pulled." —janie

Promising review: "The machine is perfect!!!!. I already made two loaves of bread yesterday and am getting ready to make another loaf today. If you are lazy like me and would rather put all the ingredients into a machine and let it do all the work, this is the bread maker for you." —Pam Charmley
