    27 Helpful Products To Help You Better Utilize Your Time In The Kitchen

    From quick lazy meals to fancier dinners, we gotchu.

    1. A double oven mitt so there's zero panic when you can only find one or none at all. Let's leave the dirty dishrag in the laundry, and keep that bread from burning. 👏

    2. A steaming tray you simply slip into the microwave with your meat, veggies, and a little water, and in minutes you'll have a delicious meal waiting for you.

    3. Slow-cooker liners you can basically consider a miracle in a box. Simply toss after cooking, and you won't have to scrub your muscles off trying to remove any baked-on residue!

    4. A lazy Susan turntable to organize cluttered cabinets and countertops into a tidy wonderland where you can *actually* find things! Amazing, I know.

    5. A julienne peeler for achieving those perfect, uniform slices of veggies — and achieving them quickly.

    6. A silicone freezer tray that'll freeze perfectly portioned leftovers until you're ready for 'em again. Soup, pasta, and your favorite meals are just a microwave zap away.

    7. A microwave omelet maker so you can whip up a delicious breakfast in under five minutes and not be totally hangry by 10 a.m.

    8. A three-in-one burger press for easily making *STUFFED* (think cheese, jalapenos, and OMG I am hungry) or regular patties and sliders.

    9. A three-compartment lid organizer to put an end to the days of lid waterfalls. You know — it happens when you're just innocently opening up your cabinets and then every single plastic lid tumbles out on you.

    10. A microwave pasta maker that'll cook, strain, and create a full meal for you while you sit on the couch and catch up on all your shows. You know, the important stuff.

    11. An expandable spice rack, because you should be able to see every spice the second you open the cabinet. Yes, you do have paprika, but it got lost in the sea of jars and now you have two. Well, not anymore!

    12. An under-cabinet lid opener so you don't have to spend your peaceful evening battling a jar. That, my friend, is a waste of time.

    13. Heat-resistant toaster bags for reheating sandwiches, fries, and other should-be crispy foods the RIGHT way — aka, not in the microwave where they tragically turn soggy. You can also make a quick grilled cheese with these things, you're welcome.

    14. A bag rack that clips to bags and props them up so you can get all your leftovers safely inside without the fuss of spills.

    15. A multi-functional chopper with interchangeable blades that makes chopping tons of fruits and veggies easy peasy lemon squeezy.

    16. A versatile sandwich maker (just peep those lil' pizzas!) for the evenings when cooking a three-course, gourmet meal just isn't in the cards.

    17. A garlic chopper that'll efficiently dice up garlic without dirtying a cutting board. Say yes to fewer dirty dishes.

    18. A beloved 7-in-1 pressure cooker sure to replace at least three of your bulky kitchen gadgets, and cook you a complete, super filling meal. Really, there's little this thing *can't* do!

    19. A microwave bacon cooker so you can indulge your bacon cravings without turning on the stove, frying bacon, turning the bacon, de-greasing the bacon, soaking the pan, etc., etc., etc.

    20. A boil-over safeguard so you can step away from your stove and not worry about coming back to a volcano of steaming water bubbles.

    21. An electric peeler your hands and back will thank you for — no more leaning over the stinky trash can while peeling potatoes!

    23. A batter dispenser designed to release the perfect amount of batter every time so you're always making the best freakin' cupcakes and pancakes in the cleanest way possible.

    24. A pair of claw shredders you'll want to get your ~paws~ on ASAP for all of your meat-carving and pulling needs.

    25. A mini knife sharpener to revive the inexpensive knives you've had since freshman year of college back to pristine condition.
