    20 Kitchen Products From Amazon For Anyone Who Hates Cleaning

    Cooking is fun. Cleaning up afterward is not. But hey, at least these kitchen picks make the cleaning process much less painful — and even *gasp* easy.

    Hey there! Did you know that Amazon's app has exclusive features that lets you scan barcodes to check prices IRL, use your phone’s camera to search for items with a ~single tap~, track orders in real time, and more? Download it here for free and receive $5 off your first in-app purchase.

    1. A three-pack of nonstick, reusable oven liners that’ll make cleaning your oven a breeze — mostly because the worst of the gunk will end up on the liner and not your actual appliance. Just stick one of these BPA- and PFOA-free sheets in the bottom of your oven to catch any drips or overflow. Then pull it out and either wipe it down or run it in the top rack of your dishwasher when it needs refreshing.

    2. And some nonstick, reusable stove burner covers, because trying to keep the bit underneath the grates of a gas stove is The Worst. Luckily, these things eliminate the problem entirely: All you have to do is stick 'em beneath the grates. They install easily, they remove easily, and they scrub down easily, making for effortless stove maintenance. You’re welcome.

    3. A pair of scrubber gloves, so you can cut out the middleman when it comes to washing your dishes. The palms of these gloves are equipped with soft yet sturdy bristles, so you can drop the sponge and have a go at whatever might be stuck to your dishes with your hands. Easy peasy — and fun!

    4. A container of Bar Keepers Friend, because this kitchen cleanser is good for literally everything. No need to wear your arm out with scrubbing — a sprinkle of this stuff, a touch of water, and a little time practically melts off even the worst caked-on messes.

    5. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that’ll make giving your most used appliance a good steam cleaning that's both fuss free and hilarious. When this delightful little figure blows her top (literally), she also blasts away all that ickiness that’s been stuck to the walls of your microwave for goodness knows how long. A simple wipe-down after she’s worked her magic is all you need!

    6. A pizza cutter wheel, so you can enjoy even the cheesiest of pies without struggling to clean up afterwards. Reviewers say this cutter is both great at its job and super simple to take apart. Once you've dismantled it, you can just toss those pieces in the dishwasher and you're good to go.

    7. A Farberware nonstick saucepan with a strainer built right into it, so you can drain off water without faffing about with a colander. That means fewer things for you to wash after you’re done getting your pasta on — and because it’s made with Farberware’s CopperSlide two-layer copper ceramic interior, the pot itself wipes down with minimal bother, too.

    8. A box of cleaning pods for your Keurig, because the insides of your coffee maker enjoy a quick scrub every now and again too. (And besides, no one wants gross, stale-tasting coffee, right?) Getting your machine clean is as simple as running it as usual. Just use one of these pods instead of your regular coffee or tea pod. Then, run it a second time with nothing but water. The before vs. after is...well, I was going to say "horrifying," but maybe "worth it" is a better way of putting it.

    9. A scrap trap with a self-storing scraper, so you can sweep all your kitchen scraps into a handy-dandy little container you can just tip out into the bin later on. A simple device that frees up valuable counter space while simultaneously preventing potato peels, bits of carrot, and other cooking detritus from ending up on the floor. Yes, please!

    10. A silicone baking mat, because if you don’t already have a couple of these in your kitchen arsenal, you’re missing out. Not only will they prevent your cookies from sticking — which is a disaster for both your bakeware and lovers of baked goods — they’ll also keep your baking sheets mess-free in the process.

    11. A garlic twist that’ll make mincing garlic the breeziest of breezes, without the mess that typically plagues traditional garlic presses. Once you’ve popped your cloves into the chamber, all you have to do is twist the halves back and forth a few times, and voilà! Perfectly minced garlic in an easy-to-rinse-out compartment.

    12. A box of garbage disposal cleaner pods, so you can get the stink outta your sink in no time at all. If your drain has become somewhat...fragrant, drop one of these suckers in there, run some warm water with it for about 10 seconds, and then turn on the disposal. Bam — you've got an instantly smell-, grime-, and clog-free kitchen sink.

    13. A chain-mail cast iron scrubber that’ll keep your favorite skillet in tip-top condition with very little elbow grease. You probably know by now not to soak your cast iron (The horror. The horror!) — so what do you do about caked-on food bits on a pan you can't wash? You hit 'em with this scrubber, which reviewers say will scrape 'em up in a jiffy. Also, it is chain mail. CHAIN MAIL! How metal (literally and figuratively) is that?!

    14. A set of cutting boards equipped with deep juice grooves, so you can keep your counters clean, no matter how messy your food prep might be. This set includes three boards of different sizes, each with a nonslip rubber border and a little moat around the edges. Whether you’re slicing into a particularly juicy pineapple or prepping a big ol' steak, the grooves will catch whatever leaks out for easy cleanup later.

    15. A cutlery-cleaning brush that’ll get deep into all those little nooks and crannies a regular sponge just can’t handle. Reviewers say it’s particularly good for sharp things as well, so if you’re tired of your best knives slicing up your sponges, this tool is here to save the day.

    16. A bottle of plant-based stainless steel cleaner that’ll brighten up all your favorite kitchen appliances with only the barest amount of effort. This option from Therapy features a solvent-free formula that relies on coconut oil for its punch. To witness its magic in action, spray it on whatever you need to clean, then buff it with a microfiber towel. Ta-da! A streak-free finish is yours in literal seconds.

    17. An entertaining fridge deodorizer, because de-stinkifying your fridge can be as simple as stashing some baking soda on a shelf in there somewhere. This particular baking soda holder is shaped like a tiny cow, which automatically makes it better than a cardboard box. I mean, just look at it. It’s adorable. How can you resist that wide-eyed little face?

    18. A Shark Tank–famous, 10-inch Frywall splatter guard that’ll keep screaming-hot oil at bay while still allowing you access to your food for, y’know, cooking purposes. Go ahead. Enjoy your fries in the knowledge that you will not have to rid your stove of masses of oil splatters. How nice! (FYI, it's also available in a few different sizes.)

    19. A big ol’ silicone utensil rest, so you can keep drips and drops off your counter with ease. This colorful, heat-resistant holder is big enough to handle four utensils at a time — and because it’s made of silicone, cleanup is as easy as a quick wash in the sink, or even just tossing it in your dishwasher.

    20. And a pack of Scrub Daddy sponges, because they just work. Another Shark Tank product, they’re bright, they’re effective, and they don’t develop that weird, mildewy smell that radiates from regular sponges after a while. They’re also fun to look at; heck, tons of reviewers say that seeing them smile at you while you work is one of the best parts of using them.
