    31 Useful Kitchen Items From Target That Reviewers Already Swear By

    Products that will make dinnertime *much* easier.

    1. An iced coffee maker, so you can sip on as much fresh, cold brew you want, any time of day.

    2. A set of three reusable Stasher bags to keep produce, leftovers, or snacks fresh *and* help eliminate the need for single-use plastic bags. They're also super durable — you can freeze or microwave them and throw them in the dishwasher.

    5. A cast-iron skillet, so you only need one pan to cook meals in a variety of ways — on the stove, on the grill, in the oven, or over an open flame. Plus, if you season it properly, it will last you for years (or even decades).
