1. A pre-seasoned cast iron skillet seasoned with non-GMO, Kosher flaxseed oil that will cook your food quickly and keep it warmer longer. It's also great for people who have anemia or just need more iron in their lives.
Promising review: "The quality of this thing is unreal, nothing sticks!!!! Its a superior product through and through, and you can feel the quality of craftsmanship the moment you touch its comfy handle. I promise you you will fall in love!!! I just need to order a 10 inch pan because I like making omelets, and often fry mushrooms or other veggies along with it — oh and also I'm anemic so iron is good for me!!! I 200% recommend it!!! Definitely liked it over another brand, it just primes better and nonstick factor is more prominent, it cleans easier, and did I mention it's beautiful??? You will not regret!!!" —Angela S.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in eight sizes).
2. An egg cooker that makes the perfect boiled egg, poached egg, or omelette. You don't have to worry about accidentally burning your eggs, because the built-in-timer, buzzer, and auto-shut off has you covered.
This rapid egg cooker comes with a boiling tray that holds seven eggs, a two-egg poaching tray, an omelet tray, a measuring cup, and a removable clear lid. The good news is that all of these things are dishwasher safe! Even though it's mostly made to cook eggs, it can be used to steam other foods like veggies.
Promising review: "I wish I had bought one of these sooner! I suck at making hard boiled eggs, and this is a lifesaver. We've had an overage of eggs due to WIC and I've run out of patience for scrambled and fried eggs. This helps me make batches of hard boiled eggs to use in recipes or to just eat cold. I also love how the buzzer isn't terrifyingly loud but still gets your attention." —Rebecca C.
Get it from Amazon for $12.39+ (available in 10 colors and two sizes).
3. A silicone splatter screen made to keep the grease popping to a minimum. Once you're done cooking, you can throw it in the dishwasher and it will be as good as new!
Promising review: "It is big — so it will fit large frying pans, etc. Yet it works on pans smaller than it diameter as well. It did a good job of lessening grease/fat splatters. It was placed in the dishwasher and came out clean and intact. Nothing high tech here — but he silicone does clean up nicely." —G.H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
4. A whisk wiper guaranteed to get every last bit of batter back into the bowl. You just can't let any of it go to waste — unless you've saved some brownie batter for yourself...then that's completely understandable.
Promising review: "I'm always peeved by how much batter I lose on the whisk when baking but this whisk wiper actually does work! I was impressed that it really did take all of the bits and pieces off my whisk and back into the bowl when I was making cookies. The customer service is also excellent and they really do care that you're happy with their product! :) I highly recommend this product for anyone who loves baking or cooking and wants to save every last drop!" —Ricki
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in seven colors).
5. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner if you're eternally disgusted with how your microwave looks, and asking yourself "when did this happen?". Luckily you won't have to use too much elbow grease to get your microwave cleaned. Just fill with vinegar and water, set the microwave for seven minutes, and there ya go. Good as new!
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
6. A mixer attachment organizer that can be mounted on the wall and support three stand mixer attachments. If you're a pro at baking, or even a beginner who has all the tools, this is definitely something you should have in your kitchen.
This Texas-based small business stocks lots of helpful kitchen products, including plenty of other accessories for your prized KitchenAid mixer.
Promising review: "The second handy item from this seller that I’m loving! For years now, my mixer heads have taken up valuable space in my cabinet and when you have limited space, you look for solutions. This gadget is now installed under a cabinet out of the way. I think it actually looks like a bit of kitchen sculpture. A clever solution to keep clutter at bay!" —esmosmom
Get it from 3D Home Solution on Etsy for $12 (available in three colors and with your choice of Command strips or wood screws for mounting). You can also get a version that just holds a single attachment here.
7. A produce-refreshing apple made to extend the life of fruits and vegetables by absorbing the gas they emit when ripening. If you hate when your produce spoils faster than you can eat it, this item may be for you! Just toss it in your fridge or produce crisper drawer.
They can keep produce fresher for two to three times longer. Each packet inside the Bluapple lasts three months, and you can order replacement packets as needed.
Promising review: "This product works so much better than I thought it would! Worth every penny. The little ethylene gas (produce lets off this gas and it speeds up its demise) absorbing packet goes into the apple and you just toss it in your product drawer. Easy peasy! This pack comes with two apples and enough packets to last a full year. I have had strawberries last over a week in the drawer (no fuzzy mold or squishy spots). This has resulted in less waste and I am sure that they have more than paid for themselves in food savings in just a couple of months. So glad I gave these a try." —Lisa C.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99.
8. A sink cleaner and polish formulated to work on more than just stainless steel sinks, but porcelain, cast iron, and acrylic sinks as well. Tough stains, water spots, and rust don't stand a chance against this cleaner.
Promising review: "I cannot recommend this enough. When we bought our house we could tell the previous owners had rinsed off paint brushes in the kitchen sink and it left horrible yellow stains. I saw this and decided I couldn't go wrong with the price. It literally took less than five minutes of gentle scrubbing to completely change the look of our sink! The before and after pictures don't even do it full justice. BUY THIS." —jenna
Get it from Amazon for $11.65+ (available in seven pack varieties).
9. A pack of three glass spice jars perfect for anyone who often cooks with the same three staple seasonings like salt, pepper, or garlic powder. You can't forget about the cute little bamboo spoon that would make seasoning your food more fun.
Entirety Goods is a small business based in California that sells home goods and office products.
Promising review: "This item is very cute and functional. It looks really good on my counter filled with spices." —Mary
Get it from Entirety Goods on Etsy for $19.99 (available in two colors).
10. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that removes fingerprints, water marks, and residue from your appliances. It also works on black stainless steel by leaving a protective barrier that resists fingerprints, dust, dirt, oil and smudges. Now your appliances can look brand-new again!
Promising review: "The stainless steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good and price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now my stainless steel appliances look shiny and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." —diana
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in packs of two or six).
11. A pack of three Dan-O's seasonings made to save you from having to measure and mix your own seasoning blend, and still keep your food tasting delicious. If you're someone who has to watch your sodium and sugar intake, these all-natural seasonings are what you need in your kitchen cabinet.
Dan-O's seasoning is a small business that sells all-natural, low-sodium, sugar-free, and gluten-free seasonings.
Promising reviews: "Got this for my hubs to use with his Blackstone Grill. He is now officially obsessed with Dan-O’s and uses it on EVERYTHING; from eggs to pasta!! I especially like the original flavor but the others are good too. Will be purchasing more!" —tomirose
"I used the green bottle to season some hamburgers I made and my son was like where did you get that hamburger that was good! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I told him it’s the seasoning not the hamburger!! I love Dan-O’s!" —Glenda W.
Get a pack containing the original, spicy, and hot chipotle seasonings from Amazon for $28.02.
12. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets, formulated to remove limescale and mineral buildup in your dishwasher. These tablets also clean your dishwasher's tub, racks, pump and valve, drain, and recirculation hoses. After all, your dishes can't truly be clean if your dishwasher isn't clean.
Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!
Promising reviews: "This was simple to use, smelled good, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the dishwasher after the recommended cleaning cycle. This product actually did what it advertises that it will do! Great results, fairly economical — and by the way — it works!" —Old Southern Charm
"Just get them. Changed the way my 20-year-old dishwasher works. Much cleaner dishes and the interior is like new. First time you use it, run it empty with just the cleaner. I didn't realize how much mold and ickiness it got out of my machine." —drpicard
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
13. A pack of six cleaning K-Cups you might need if you've never deep cleaned your Keurig. You only have to use one cleaning pod every three months, and will get a nontoxic, biodegradable, and easy clean on your Keurig. You'll be surprised to see how much dirt has been lingering in your coffee maker.
Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues, and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in a 12-pack).

It comes with four interchangeable stainless-steel blades (large and small dicing blades, a spiral blade, and a ribbon blade) and a 1.2L collection tray.
Promising review: "This made chopping vegetables so much easier and faster. I get more diced in less time. I wish I had bought this much sooner. It would’ve made cooking way more enjoyable. Better late than never." —Michele
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
15. A kitchen conversion magnet if you're tired of searching "how many cups in an ounce", mid-recipe. Now you don't have to reach for your phone when you don't know how many ounces are in a cup. It's the cheat sheet you need in the kitchen.

16. A cutlery organizer ready to make your silverware drawer look functional again. Every utensil has its proper place, but you don't need me to tell you that. Just look at the before and after pics!
Promising review: "This is one of the most amazing products I've ever bought! My former cutlery tray was more than twice as wide as this one and my flatware seemed to hardly fit. Somehow this little thing takes up way less space in my drawer and has plenty of room for my utensils. Why didn't I buy this sooner?!" —Miranda
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
17. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner if your sink smells like a combination of every meal you've had in the past five years, and you're tired of it. You need this cleaner in your drain ASAP. The foaming bubbles will clean your drain and leave it smelling lemony fresh!
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.04+ (also available in a pack of 24).
18. A pack of three oven liners to keep your oven base protected from dripping messes — like when you over-filled the cupcake tray and the batter just kept spilling. No one wants to have to clean burnt food or liquids from the bottom of their stove; with this liner, you won't have those problems.
Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut them down to size to fit my toaster oven. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil which he found so annoying, deterring him to grill. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99.

The Instant Pot comes with seven cooking functions (pressure cook, slow cook, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, sauté pan, and food warmer) and 13 customizable programs for cooking meals like ribs, soups, beans, rice, desserts, and more. Additionally the lid, inner pot, and accessories are dishwasher safe. It cooks for up to six people and comes with a safe-locking lid.
Promising review: "Cooking extremely healthy meals (we eat a very strict diet at all times) is so much faster and easier than it was before the Instant Pot entered my life. I have a family of four and Instant Pots allow me to prepare healthy meals and still walk away and concentrate on my kids instead of babysitting a stove or oven. THANK YOU INSTANT POT! You have to get one, you won't regret it. It replaces the slow cooker and the rice cooker and the yogurt maker and it sautées!!!! You can do just about anything in this thing!" —mammaD

22. A washable, reusable, biodegradable towel made to absorb the grease from your crispy strips of bacon. Keep your paper towel waste under control by making the switching to a reusable item.

Promising review: "Best thing ever. We try to be as sustainable as we can. I hated buying paper towels for bacon grease because we would always use them for everything else because they were there. Now that I have this fancy little towel, we no longer buy paper towels and I am beyond happy. It also cleans very well!" —Kelly Rooney
Get it from Green City Living on Amazon Handmade for $14.99.
23. A kitchen faucet mat if water goes everywhere when you wash, or simply rinse, your dishes. Use this instead of folding up a towel and putting it behind your faucet or cleaning up a watery mess.

Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter.
