Who knew you needed sushi-themed measuring cups?
Promising review: "I love hard-boiled eggs, but it's always been a hassle to gently lower them into a boiling pot of water with a spoon, and then scoop them back into the now-wet carton to cool. This solves all those problems. You simply load the eggs in, lower the holder into the boiling pot, pull it out, and store it in your fridge. No more extra steps or gingerly lowering eggs into the pot. Plus, they're adorable!" —Laura P

Promising review: "This little guy packs a powerful punch. I got this for my fiancé for Christmas so that he could sharpen his custom knife set, and it worked perfectly. It was small enough not to ruin or touch the custom design, but the blades were the perfect size to make his knives into a brand new set with some super sharp edges." —Isa Gutierrez

The set of three includes a pig, rooster, and sheep.
Promising review: "They give just a small amount of lift to release steam, and they're cute, too! We also used them in the freezer to hold small plastic crates in place when separating vegetables or meats." —Jana T

Promising review: "Bought these for my grandparents, and they loved them! There are little magnets under each shaker to help hold them in place. They came very well packaged with a lot of bubble wrap to ensure there wasn't any breakage, and they were exactly as pictured." —Brandy Miller

Promising review: "I got this purely for a laugh, but I actually use it so much! This gives you the added flavor of bay leaves or herb bundles, but it cuts out the time spent fishing around for the leaves after they’ve simmered! I got every member in my family who cooks one! They get a huge chuckle for the shape, but unlike other gag gifts, these you will actually use!" —Kasey S
Promising review: "It looks freaking cute in my kitchen and works well! I thought it might be too big to use limes with it, but it turned out fine. I normally just use my hands to quickly squeeze, but I just had to buy this. It looks so inconspicuous and can double as decoration. It’s also handy to pick out seeds." —Birb

Promising review: "Love this idea. It's fast, simple, and easy to use — also easy to clean as well. I have no trouble using it with large eggs. I think the trick is to just be gentle and not forceful. This is definitely better than the wire holder I have been using!" —meissler

Who needs a knife and fork?
Promising review: "These work wonderfully! I originally purchased them because I was cooking for a group of over 100 on a trip, and we shredded 40 pounds of thighs in about 45 minutes. I made the same meal a year prior and spent a couple of hours shredding chicken with two kitchen forks. These claws are so sharp and useful that it took less than half the time! I've since used them to make shredded pork at home, and they also work wonderfully for that!" —H. L. Kern
