Promising review: "I consider myself to have a well-stocked kitchen but I've never owned an immersion blender. I ordered this one on the recommendation of a relative. I have to say I love, love, love it! I never knew how much I needed one until I actually had one. It's much easier than pulling out a blender and the clean up is a snap. If you are not sure you need this, think again." —Kyasi

Promising review: "As with all older ovens, mine didn't have accurate temperatures, and this affected the quality of my baked goods. This thermometer has given me the results I need." —M.L. Prejean
Get the fridge/freezer one from Amazon for $5.92 and the oven one from Amazon for $6.10.
15. A refillable oil mister that'll help you use the perfect amount whenever you need it.
Promising review: "We grill a lot of vegetables in my household (both on the grill, and in the oven in the wintertime), and this is a great device. Gives a light, uniform coating of oil to the veggies. Other things I use it for include oiling pans, my grill, and for misting the top of an italian pie or calzone with olive oil before baking. Also, if you coat chicken in a bread crumb mixture, spray it with oil, and then bake it, it comes out crispy on the outside. A healthy alternative if you miss the taste of fried chicken.
We have one, and are ordering a second." —Jeremy York
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
16. A silicone scraper that's perfect for using up batter and scooping up chopped ingredients.

Get it from Amazon for $6.49.
