1. A soft-serve machine so you can have ice cream whenever you want right from home. Make professional-quality, homemade soft serve, yogurt, sorbet, sherbet, or ice cream all summer and save yourself the daily trip to Baskin-Robbins for those 100-degree day cravings — you now basically live with Ben & Jerry.
Ice cream makes everything better, but you know what makes ice cream better? Sprinkles, of course! And this baby has two condiment containers to store all your toppings.
Promising review: "This is one awesome machine; we use it at least once a week and try new flavors and experiment all the time. Very easy to use, cleaning is a breeze, and the taste and quality rival the big chains out there in soft serve land. This tastes much better because you can use all real ingredients — heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and the list is endless of what your flavors can be. Sometimes, we make so much we seal and freeze it for a later date (just take it out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes, and it's ready). One of the best items I have ever purchased! In fact, I am down to only three containers of ice cream in the freezer...gotta run and restock!!! You will enjoy this great machine, and the kids will love to help you make it and serve themselves. I give this 6 stars out of 5!!!" —UMCanes1972

2. Or, a silicone ice pop mold for some seriously yumm homemade popsicles. The flexible design makes it easy to get your frozen treats out and you can fill the mold with literally anything, from ice cream, to pudding, to purées, and much MUCH more!
Promising review: "These are great! We used to use rigid plastic molds, but it was always difficult to remove the frozen ice pop. Because these are flexible, you can easily push up from the bottom to dislodge your frozen treat!" —Bob B
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
3. A compact Weber grill that'll replace your oven this summer because there's literally nothing like meat on the grill. Or even veggies on the grill orrr fruit! Grilled peaches and ice cream sounds like the treat of the summer. My mouth's watering just *thinking* about how good grilled food smells.
4. Or, a Cuisinart Griddler to take your sandwiches from okay to Bobby Flay. Perfect for anyone who doesn't have the space for a grill but still loves a good ole grilled burger.
This baby can serve as a contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle, and half grill/half griddle.
Promising review: "Besides a good chef, this machine has been the most used and most beloved instrument in my kitchen! From grilling to toasting and everything in between. The addition of reversible griddle irons and the flat laying top handle has been a major boost to the utility of this product. Additionally, having the grease catcher as an internal bucket (and a much larger one at that) makes cleanup much easier. I use this product literally every week and have no complaints. Great for cooking quickly and healthily. Buy this now! It will change your life!" —AddieO
Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in eight styles).
5. And don't forget a bottle of Lillie's of Charleston mustard barbecue sauce, so tasty your tongue will tingle. No need to make your own BBQ for the grilled ribs — throw this in a bowl, douse it on your poultry, and enjoy! We can keep the fact that it came from a bottle our little secret. 😉
Lillie's of Charleston is a Black- and family-owned small biz based in South Carolina that bottles and sells their award-winning sauces and spice mixes inspired by Sunday dinners at Aunt Lillie's house.
Promising review: "I grew up in Charleston, SC and this is by far the most authentic South Carolina Mustard BBQ I’ve been able to find. I highly recommend. A true taste of home delivered to my door in Phoenix!" —Jenna Bowen
Get it from Amazon for $11.62 (available in hot or mild).
6. A Vitamix blender that'll make you wonder why you ever fiddled with other blenders. Nothing is worse than drinking your smoothie and getting a huge chunk of ice that wasn't crushed up. With this powerful little baby, you won't need to worry about that. It can also make you smooth purées, frappes, salsa, soups, dips, spreads, and so much more.
To clean, simply add some dish soap and warm water and press start for 30-60 seconds — it's ~that~ simple!
Promising review: "Simply put: this blender is astounding. I've now owned it for a month and it gets used almost every day in my house! We make smoothies, chili pastes, cornmeals, frozen cocktails, soups — it does everything. We have effectively retired our Bullet blender and our immersion blender, nothing gets near the same level of smoothness. I was initially, slightly concerned that the volume would be too small, but I have yet to encounter any problems. Worst case, I do stuff in batches, but, this blender is so fast, it really doesn't matter. If you're a serious cook or chef in your home kitchen, you want this by your side for creamy soups and sauces." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $349.95 (available in three colors and styles).
7. Or, if you'd like something that doesn't take up as much counter space, a lovely compact blender for some seriously smooth shakes and smoothies. This thing may be itty bitty, but it can fiercely chop up ice because of its increased turbulence. Andddd how aesthetically pleasing is this thing?
Oh! Andddd the blending bowl doubles as a portable thermos, and comes with a screw-on drinking lid and carry cap!
Promising review: "There are so many things to love about this blender! Its sleek design, quiet motor and overall look makes you proud to place it on your kitchen countertop. The most impressive part of the Beast is its blending power. The one-minute interval program is the perfect length of time to ensure all of your ingredients are fully blended. No need to shake the bottle or re-blend multiple times! Each time I've used the Beast I've gotten smooth, creamy smoothies that taste amazing. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect blender!" —Allison K.
Get it from Amazon for $164.95 (available in three colors).
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by this thing, so be sure to check out her full review of the Beast Blender!
8. A Cuisinart digital steamer you'll LOVE to steam seafood, veggies, and poultry. You can even steam crabs in this and as a Maryland girl, I find that's so exciting, like, I squealed — if you're from Maryland, you know. It's large enough for family-size portions and the steaming tray flips to hold different kinds of food. Steam is delivered from the top down to surround the food and cook it quickly and evenly.
Just fill the tank with water, set the timer, and BAM!
Promising review: "There is simply nothing to dislike about this steamer. It exceeded my expectations. I had a $30+ steamer for five years and loved the concept of cooking, but the plastic trays were flimsy and awkward to handle. The design concept on this unit is superb and the removable fill tank and feature which delivers steam from the top of the container works great. I would highly recommend this unit. It is pricey but is well worth it." —John Daniel
Get it from Amazon for $149.95.
9. An AeroGarden Harvest so you can grow and pick your own fresh herbs in your own house, no soil needed! So when you make your famous potato salad for the summer BBQ, be sure to garnish it a bit with these herbs to spruce it up with some extra flavor *without* needing to cook up a thing!
If you've gotten this far and you're thinking *Jordan, sis, my green thumb is literally black*, reviewers say it's foolproof so you're golden! It includes basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil, and mint seeds, and a bottle of all natural plant nutrients.
Check out former BuzzFeed's AeroGarden review for more info!
Promising review: "This was worth every penny and then some. Easy to set up, spectacular results! Every one of the seed pods germinated, growth was quite astonishing, first flower popped out about 45 days from set up. My garden is now covered in healthy vegetation and copious blooms. Can't ask for more! But I may have to buy more, LOL!" —D.L. Sniderman
Get it from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in four colors and three styles).
10. An Oxo 3-in-1 avocado tool for splitting, pitting, and slicing your avocados. Whether you love a good guac or just want avocado on the table when you grill up carne asada, this baby will become your new bestie and your fave kitchen tool. Pick this thing up and immediately get "Best Friend" by Saweetie and Doja Cat stuck in your head cuz this thing is seriously a real bad b...
Promising review: "I love avocados, but hardly ever buy them because they're so inconvenient to deal with. This tool ABSOLUTELY changes that. I knew I was getting something that would make it a little easier to pit and slice my avocado, but I had no idea HOW MUCH EASIER it would be. This thing is amazing!" —Edianter
Get it from Amazon for $10.54.
11. A tabletop portable outdoor pizza oven that'll turn your home into your new favorite pizza place. For the obsessed 'za lovers, this thing will make you wanna have a delicious pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Best of all, you use it outdoors so you won't feel like you're melting in your home!
Promising reviews: "Makes the best pizza I ever had in my life. Better quality than a pizza from the store. The crust is so delicious that I ate pizza for a full week. I am very happy with the functionality, the size, and the quality." —Yaniv C.
"We use ours weekly. Well-made and should last a lifetime, to be honest. We are becoming almost better than our local wood-fire pizza place we frequent. The entire family enjoys making their own personal pizzas. Probably the best thing I’ve ever purchased from Amazon to be honest." —Chad G.
Get it from Amazon for $499.
12. A 20-piece sushi-making kit so you can make your spicy salmon roll whenever you want. If you're sushi obsessed, you'll fall in LOVE with this thing, and it'll be lots of fun to DIY some sushi rolls all summer. Make it with your kiddos, invite friends over for a sushi making party, or just gobble up a roll alone for dinner!
You'll get two bamboo sushi mats, one bazooka roller, two temaki rollers, one rice mold, one sushi knife, five pairs of chopsticks, two chopstick holders, one rice paddle, one rice spreader, two sauce dishes, one sushi cutting mold, and one guide book.
Promising review: "This set is a blast. I got it for my husband for Father’s Day because he LOVES sushi, and we’ve been having so much fun making sushi together. It’s very easy to use and was a great value for all the items that it came with. Whether a fun family night, unique friends dinner, or fancy date night in, this set is perfect." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.64.
13. The cult-fave programmable Instant Pot Duo that should be paid six figures because it does soooo many jobs. A pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, sauté pan, steamer, and rice cooker, what can't this thing do? Toss the ingredients in, hit the button, and this thing will handle the rest. Kinda like an adult Magic Mixie. Enjoy your summer nights, kick your feet up, and know this bad boy has dinner covered.
Reviewers have made everything in this from pork ribs to New York style cheesecake. It'll be hard not to wanna cook every dinner in this.
Check out BuzzFeed's full Instant Pot review.
Promising review: "There are so many people who say they can't cook, but I swear I'm on a whole new level of not being able to cook. This little appliance helps expand our menu and I have learned to do so much with it. I love how easy it is and how I throw everything in and it comes out done. No stirring and not many messy dishes. I still don't love it for meats, but I think that's just a matter of needing to experiment more with them. I seriously can't believe how many foods can be cooked in here! I found a recipe for a mac 'n' cheese that everyone loves. It's only five ingredients and only requires washing a cheese grater and the pot and it only takes 20 minutes. Before this I had never once made spaghetti with meat sauce. Now I do it all the time. Again, I only have ONE thing to clean afterwards. If I tried doing with without the Instant Pot, I would have a pan for the meat, pot for the pasta, and the strainer. It only takes about 20 minutes start to finish. Since I usually don't have to do many dishes with the Instant Pot, I tend to enjoy experimenting. My family is constantly surprised at how much this has changed how we eat. I love that when we have a last-minute neighborhood get-together and I can whip up a pasta dish and veggie real quick." —Aundrea
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three sizes and styles).
14. A customizable marshmallow roasting set because idk a single thing better than an ooey gooey s'more on a summer evening.

The sticks fold up to be nice and compact and extend when it's s'mores time so the only thing that'll be burning is your marshmallow!

15. A watermelon cutter for some perrrrfect little melon cubes. Super safe to use, even for kids cuz the blades aren't sharp. Warm weather = bring on the watermelon but hold on all the work. 😋
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising reviews: "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 D.
Get it from Amazon for $12.37.
16. And, an easy-to-use corer to make cutting apple slices for the kids, or yourself, easier. No seeds, no stems, nada!
After you've removed the core, the blades open up for simple disposal.
Promising review: "This thing is great. Very sturdy. Works amazingly well. I bought this because I had 1 1/2 bushels of apples I needed to core to make apple butter. Did the job in no time at all with this gadget. Much less waste than cutting around the core and in 99+% of the apples it removed the entire core and seeds without me having to do touch-ups with a paring knife. I highly recommend this tool and will be buying more of them to give as gifts for friends who enjoy the culinary arts." —James Miller
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 26 colors).
17. A Zojirushi rice cooker so you can get *perfect* rice every 👏 single 👏 time. 👏 If making rice is like, the bane of your existence but you can't stop making yourself burrito bowls, this will be your holy grail. No more mushy or crunchy rice!
I know, steep price, but this thing will make you sushi rice, long grain rice, brown rice, short grain rice, even steel cut oats. And! It keeps your rice warm after it's cooked just in case your chicken's taking a liiiiittle longer than you anticipated.
Promising review: "If you eat a lot of rice, a Zojirushi rice cooker is absolutely worth the cost. I thought my $10 standard rice cooker from Kohl’s did a pretty good job. That is, until I tasted the rice that the Zojirushi makes. Every grain of rice in the cooker is perfect and uniformly cooked throughout. No slightly overcooked rice on the bottom, no more undercooked or overcooked rice. I can set the timer before work and come home to perfect rice at night. This particular unit is small and meant for a two- or three-person family. I really had no idea how much better rice could be until I started using this thing. Beware, however: good rice takes time to cook. You’ll need to start your rice an hour or more before you need it to be ready. Some modes take a very long time, such as the GABA mode, which takes 3.5 hours. There is a 'quick' mode which cooks white rice in about a half an hour, but I don’t use that one because I want my rice to taste as good as possible. Overall I am very happy with the Zojirushi. The little songs it plays are fun. The manual is well written and easy to understand. The unit feels extremely high quality and well designed throughout." —CDandEB
Get it from Amazon for $137.03.
18. A handmade serving bowl duo to make that after work at home happy hour feel like you're at a cute little Mexican restaurant. So clever! And chips and salsa are, like, the Friday afternoon pick me up, with a fresh margarita — ooh lala!
It's handmade by Georgia-based potter Steven Nedza!
Promising review: "Lovely piece of pottery. I believe this is an extremely versatile serving bowl, from chips/dips/salsa/guac to shrimp and cocktail sauce to fruit and fruit dips." —cdlpittsburgh
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $75.
19. A Dash mini waffle maker because making pancakes over a pan in the summer feels hotter than the Sahara. It's so cute and litto and will heat up in moments without heating the whole kitchen up. You can even make a batch and freeze 'em for later rather than buying the ones in the store.
This nonstick little bb comes with a recipe book to help you get started.
Promising review: "I got my waffle maker yesterday and already fired it up this morning. First time using it but so far, I am thrilled! When I got it, I opened it right away because I was curious to see how small it really was and it’s tiny and adorable. I love the little recipe book that came with it, I feel more companies need to add little things like that in with your purchase. And it gives all kinds of cool tips. Very personable and cute. I am really impressed for only $10. The recipe in the book for regular waffles is really good, my kids and I loved them. I threw in some chocolate chips as well. I will be making big batches and freezing them for sure: easy to pop in the toaster. Very happy customer." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 20 colors and seven styles).
20. A rapid egg cooker that'll make you the best eggs everrrrr. Like 'em scrambled? This can do that. Boiled? Not a challenge. Omelet? Easy peasy. And it'll do most of the work for you, so while your breakfast is cooking you can finish getting ready for work. I see the little hearts developing in your eyes 😍; who doesn't love a perfect omelet?!
This little baby comes with a poaching tray, omelet tray, six-egg holder tray, measuring cup, and access to a recipe database.
Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).
21. A sleek stainless-steel microwave for some quick hot food that won't make your entire home feel like a literal sauna. It can perfectly defrost any meats you totally forgot to take out the freezer and of course has your basic popcorn, frozen veggie, and pizza buttons for some easy peasy cookin'. Oh and, child lock so your kiddies don't go accidentally putting forks in the microwave.
22. A lovely wooden bowl to totally have your salads looking like they're from a 5-star restaurant. For those days where you can't be bothered with anymore freakin' heat — no microwave, grill, nada — salads are a perfect choice and this bowl will make you wanna assemble em' all summer long.
Promising review: "A beautiful bowl! Give it as a gift or keep it for yourself. It can be used as your countertop veggie/fruit bowl or as your salad bowl. It's VERY well-made and simply gorgeous! I plan on taking care of the wood so that it stays in the family for years." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $32.99.
23. And Brightland olive oils and vinegars that'll take your salads from "okay" to "okay, I need to know who the heck made this flavor-packed dressing cuz I could kiss them." Lots of salad calls for lots of dressing, and you'll get four different irresistibly delicious ones when you order these.
Yes, they're way more expensive than grocery store ones but you'll seriously taste the difference. This set comes with Brightland's bestselling Awake and Alive olive oils, their champagne vinegar, and balsamic vinegar, so you'll get a perfect introduction to the brand.
Brightland is a WOC-owned small biz that sources olives and fruit from small, family-run farms in California to make their delicious dressings.
Promising review: "Best oil hands down. I was skeptical since I was influenced by social media about Brightland. But, hands down this is the best oil I have ever used. The flavor is so rich but so light at the same time. It elevates whatever it’s served with. This is worth the money!!" —Theresa
Get an assortment of two oils and two vinegars from Brightland for $112.
24. A game-changing microwave pasta cooker so you can make some bomb pasta without doing all that work or burning up in front of a boiling pot of water. I meannnn, just look at that reviewer's spaghetti below — looks freakin' gourmet. You just fill this baby to the indicated line for water, heat it in the microwave for *about* 12 minutes, and boom, noodles for alfredo! Is this what Hannah Montana meant by best of both worlds?
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Katy Herman LOVES the Fasta Pasta and had this to say:
"Two of the most basic facts about me are that 1) I love pasta and 2) I'm lazy as heck. Cooking pasta is pretty easy, even for someone like me who rarely cooks. But still, it's a little more than I want to do when I'm feeling hungry and/or burnt out to wait for the water to boil and have to wash the pot and colander when I'm done. What I really needed was something that could have the whole process done in under 15 minutes and that I could just toss in the dishwasher.
Enter the Fasta Pasta (great name btw). I'm really amazed by what a game-changer it is, as well as how user-friendly it is. It comes with a booklet of instructions on how long to cook/how much pasta and water to use for all different shapes of pasta, plus there's an extended list on the product's website. All you have to do is measure out the pasta and fill the tub with water to the appropriate fill line, then microwave it on high for the noted amount of time. When it's done, you pop on the lid, which has convenient handles. I was nervous about using my bare hands to take this out of the microwave even with the handles, but amazingly it doesn't get that hot! The lid also has a built-in strainer, which is perfect for both helping you fill the Fasta Pasta with a precise amount of water and for straining once the pasta is cooked. Then voila! You've got pasta! Check out my full Fasta Pasta review (#2), and yes, please cast me in an infomercial about it."

25. A smart oven for those nights that it's giving TV dinners. All you have to do is grab those pizza bagels from the freezer, scan them, and voila! This oven knows what temperature to cook at and sets a cook time, meaning little to no work for you! Chris Evans may be hot (especially in that Captain America suit), but having your regular oven on in the summer is even hotter, so let this little one do all the oven cooking you need without making your house super warm.
This oven can air fry, bake, broil, toast, steam, and reheat all from your smartphone. They also offer an oven-ready meal subscription and recipes through their app. Perfect if you don't have much time to grocery shop or cook. Each oven comes with a food subscription credit for 3–5 meals ($50 value) and these meals are ready in 20 minutes. The oven can even automatically switch between cook cycles guaranteeing a perfect meal every time!
Promising review: "Tovala saved my sanity. Picky eaters, demanding schedules, and long hours all lead to the daily anxiety of figuring out 'what’s for dinner?' Enter — TOVALA!!! We find these meals delicious, filling and best of all very easy to make. Pick a meal from the fridge, scan the QR code and go find something to do for 15 minutes. Voila! Enjoy a great meal made by a chef. Love it! Tovala is a game changer. It materially makes a difference in our life. It's the kind of technology that makes a meaningful improvement in how you live your life. It gave control back. It takes two minutes to get the meal into the oven. In the 15 or so minutes while it's cooking, you can get a quick workout, take a shower, get some work done, etc. When the meal is ready, it's so fresh and tasty. Better than going out to any fast /casual place." —Bhavesh P.
Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in three styles).
26. A silicone popcorn maker that'll make delish popcorn with ease for your outdoor summer movie night. This bb is dishwasher safe and collapsible for easy storing. What's a movie without popcorn? Popping kernels = yummy popcorn, but doing it on the stove? You'll be melting quicker than the Wicked Witch of the West.
Simply add your kernels to the bowl, cover it up, throw it in the microwave (on high, not the popcorn feature) and you've got movie theater popcorn right at home. Oh and no need for oil (unless you want)! Yum.
Promising review: "Our family has had this popcorn popper for 4 years so far and it is still going strong. The lid is JUST NOW becoming a smidge cloudy, but that doesn't bother us. It gets regular to daily use, depending on who is home. We only hand wash it if that makes a difference for longevity, not sure. My college-aged son uses it daily when he's home from school. So much so that I'm on here ordering him one to take back to school with him! It makes great popcorn and I add olive oil to the bottom before popping simply because I like the taste. My kids don't use any oil or butter in the bottom and either way it makes perfect popcorn. Few to no kernels left after popping in the microwave and great tasting popcorn. And we are proof that this inexpensive purchase lasts a number of years with regular use. If we need enough popcorn for 3–6 people on movie night I break out the stove top popper, but for 1–2 people this is perfect. Or you can just pop more than one batch in a row using this if you want more. I originally got this because I didn't want my preteen kids fiddling with the stovetop popper alone when they were younger and they could work this by themselves if they wanted popcorn. Also perfect for college kids in their microwaves because all you need is this and a jar/bag of kernels. If you love popcorn like my family does, then you cannot go wrong with this popper. Recommend." —Kay

27. A fancy shmancy charcuterie board for guests to snack on as you grill up the burgers and dogs. Charcoocoo, as I call it, is ALWAYS a solid snack choice when it comes to hosting and this one has a little drawer underneath of it for all of the serving utensils and cheese knives you need. It also INCLUDES four cheese knives and can be ordered with or without bowls!
Promising review: "Seriously the nicest charcuterie board I’ve EVER seen!!! I can’t believe the quality! This would make an excellent gift for anyone. I bought one for myself and I'm going to get more for gifts soon. I love the drawer with the four included cheese knives, one for every type of cheese; crumbled, soft, hard, etc! HIGHLY recommend this!" —CM
Get it from Amazon for $34.98+ (available in three styles).
28. A Ninja 2-in-1 toaster so you can easily make some pizza rolls for the kids after a long pool day. How, you may ask? Well, this isn't just your average ordinary toaster. Flip this bad boy on its side, and you've got the PERFECT toaster oven to make nuggets, grilled cheese, and all types of easy yummy foods. AND it's a breeze to clean because there's a crumb tray included. What's better than two kitchen appliances in one?!
Promising review: "I was prepared to hate this, but strangely, I don’t. It’s ridiculously useful and I actually resent it for being everything it says it is and more. If I could be half as useful as this thing I would be a billionaire. It toasts anything any size, produces perfect grilled cheese, and even cooks dino nuggets and makes them taste edible. Hopefully its longevity is as great as its versatility. Highly recommend." —Klj
Get it from Amazon for $89.95.
29. A cold brew coffee maker for those days where you can't pull yourself out of bed after a summer night on the town and consequently can't stop at Starbucks. I've been there, every day this week, actually. Add your coffee to the filter, brew for 24 hours, and voila, a perfect cold brew for the morning and five extra minutes of sleep.
Promising review: "This coffee maker is my BEST FRIEND! I use this every day, it's so easy to use! My coffee comes out perfect every time. I'm a cold coffee drinker and I put about 8–10 scoops of freshly ground coffee into the filter. I let it sit overnight and the next morning, I remove the filter and dump the grounds. It makes four days' worth of coffee and I love that it's ready to go for me, especially since I wake up at 4:50 a.m. and I need to make my coffee quickly! It's very easy to clean as well." —Panda
