Promising review: "I love it! It toasts everything perfectly. You can set the first two slots for one degree of toasting and the second two slots for a lighter or darker toast. It also toasts bagels or English muffins on one side only. And it has a defrost setting that defrosts your item and then toasts it exactly as you want it." —Lana

You'll get two 1.3-cup containers, two 4.7-cup containers, and one 8-cup glass container, all with air-tight and leak-proof lids.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these containers. Their rectangular shape makes them perfect for storage and travel-friendly. They are the perfect size for storing leftovers that I can either take for lunch the next day or warm up and split between me and my husband. I love how well the lid seals, so I have no worry about it spilling everywhere. Overall, these have become my new favorite containers. I would definitely recommend." —jodim1

This is BPA-free and dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. My freezer is so much more organized now. Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned half-cup and one-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time, but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost." —Kate

Promising review: "This is the second bowl I have purchased. I got one for my sister (who is a long time bread maker) and one for me (a novice bread maker). We are BOTH very happy with this product. It is just the right size for my wild fermented bread and for her whole wheat. The bread is beautifully crusty and has a perfect crumb – light and soft for BOTH of these usually heavy breads. We love it!! I have recommended it to all my fermentation group with the highest accolades. Easy to clean, delightful to use." —Lorie

Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! It is so versatile and easy to clean. It's not overwhelmingly big but it handles one pot meals like a champ. I am blown away." —Aileen R.

Promising review: "These are so helpful if your fridge is cluttered. I bought these for my mom who is an extremely cluttered person. I love her to death, but she is not an organized person. Her fridge used to look wild. There would be food piled on top of food, and small jars and containers EVERYWHERE. I bought her these to help her organize everything. Now she can see what she has and everything has a place. Thank you for making something like this to help those that are so cluttered." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have used these for storing cucumber soup and cut up fruit in the fridge. I've used it in the freezer for storing pieces of salmon. I have washed them by hand and prop them open to dry, although they are dishwasher safe. Pay attention to the direction putting on the green slide to lock the bag! Trying to slide It on the wrong way doesn’t work!" —Food52 Customer
Get them from Food52 for $24+ (available in three sizes or mixed).
Promising review: "We have tried to minimize the amount of stuff taking up our kitchen countertop, so we got rid of the dish rack. I still wanted the ability to dry dishes and big pots/pans after cooking, so I got this rack. Thing is AWESOME. It is extremely versatile and rolls up neatly for storage under the sink or wherever else you'd want to store it. It repels water and makes cleaning it very simple. Gunk doesn't want to stay on it and anything that does stick to it comes right off with a light scrub and some dish soap. It doesn't smell at all and is lightweight, but very sturdy and able to hold two to three big pots and pans over the sink. You can also fold it in half if you want to access the sink but want to dry a pot or some glasses while washing." —Jay C.

Promising Review: "Can I just say where have you been all my life? I ordered this specifically so I could use to make sugar cookies. It made my cookies go so much faster for a change! I used to get out a ruler trying to figure out if I had the right thickness or if the dough was rolled even enough (which I never did get right in the past). This roller allowed to me quickly and easily roll the whole batch of sugar cookies without getting frustrated! Super easy to use and clean up was also a snap. Would recommend this to any baker out there!" —LAD
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "This product is wonderful. I would buy it for every coffee lover in my life. You can mix and match flavors of coffee for a unique taste every refill. This product is meant to sit in the fridge (it's a cold brew!). My fridge isn't huge by any means but, while the coffee pot sits in the fridge, it never seems to be in my way! The coffee comes out delicious every time. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. I cant imagine a morning without a cold cup of this brew!" —Brooklyn
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $200.
Promising review: "This works just as described and produces delicious cheese for melting on veggies and bread. I love how portable and small it is – that's so much of the appeal, to not need a giant apparatus for something so simple and delicious. The cheese tastes amazing, the device looks cute, and the presentation is perfect to impress for dinner parties or just to use alone at home." —Em Addison

This 12-pack of food-grade silicone cups are safe to use in the freezer, microwave, and oven. They can handle temperatures of up to 500 degrees and come in pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Promising review: "These little thingies are perfect! I made some muffins with them and they came out incredibly easily with no residue on the cups at all. I didn't have to use grease or anything. The colors are bright and fun, and they you plenty of each color. These are slightly smaller than a regular cupcake pan/liner, which is actually perfect for my purposes. As others have mentioned, the cups are a bit on the flimsy side, so make sure they're on a baking sheet before you fill them because they can be difficult to transport once full." —kapplejack
Get them from Amazon for $6.17.
Promising review: "I LOVE my cast iron. This pot is fantastic for all my soups and stews. It's better than a crock pot. By washing it out after each use and never using harsh stuff on it the cast iron will last forever." —Nan

Promising review: "These are adorable!!! They work so well! They're so cute and do the job! Be sure to grease these little cups with some olive oil or your oil of choice! Clean these with a soft sponge, nothing too abrasive, or you may scratch the silicone. Great buy! I love that there are four with four different colors! Shipped as promised!" —Claudia

Promising review: "I use a shameful amount of paper towels and these make feel so much less wasteful! I mostly use them to cover my cat’s food while I microwave it since I don’t want it splattering all over the microwave. These work great for that. I have a tiny little bin on my kitchen counter that I put the used ones in and then transfer it to the laundry bin when full." —CH

Promising review: "This item is for rolling out an already thin-ish dough and will not work well for laminating something thicker. The product itself is good quality, the service was excellent. Quick shipping and excellent customer service." —Adeline Cooke
Promising review: "I love the feel, texture, and quality of these basting brushes. I've used them on the grill, air fryer, and stove top and they proved to be solid. I was a little concerned about the ease of removal of bristles but honestly they stick solidly to the handle. This is light, easy to clean, and safe in high heats!" —City Chick

This includes a ventilated case for storage.
Promising review: "OK, this is DEFINITELY not a gimmick! Follow the instructions and this will save you time and sanity in the kitchen! Roll it with minimal pressure and it works like a champ. It also rinses very easily and dries quick. The case has holes on either end to ensure it dries completely in between uses when you toss it in a drawer. I will never hand/knife smash garlic and fight with those pesky skins sticking to everything ever again." —ThatKasper

Promising review: "I use this for EVERYTHING! Not just for scraping jars, but getting every last bit out of the protein powder, for scraping down the sides of batter bowls, for mixing soups and stews while cooking, even as a spoon for testing. I now have three of these (in different colors) so I'll always have one at the ready." —Paul J DeSimone
Get it from Amazon for $7.59 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "These are super Cute. I love the colors and they work great. The array of sizes they came in is also very handy. In fact, these are so much cuter than the other options available online that my friends decided to get the same set. If you took the time to google other silicone lids your eyes will burn. For my purposes these are perfect. Highly recommend." —DemiChang

Promising review: "This Digital meat thermometer is the best I've ever had. I own others but they are either too bulky to fit in the drawer, or too hard to read. This one is small, lightweight, it's easy to pull out the probe, and very easy to read the temperature. I purchased several as stocking stuffers for Christmas – just three months away! I highly recommend getting several with the holidays coming up. They make a gift that will be appreciated for it's size and ease of use, but, most importantly, it will be a gift that gets used instead of put away in the closet." —Kat29

This is dishwasher safe and BPA free.
Promising review: "This thing is terrific! I used 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels, set for three and a half minutes. There were ONLY TWO unpopped kernels when I finished eating the popcorn. I have never seen such efficiency in any product in the last 40 years. If I didn't see it myself I would not believe it." —Gringras

Promising review: "I looked at this item for a long time before I finally decided to buy it. What I don't need is another device in my house, but I use my crockpot almost every weekend and loved the idea that I could cook stuff so much quicker with this.
My first meal was a frozen salmon fillet and this was one of the selling points, that you can cook frozen food and it will be just fine. My problem is that I always forget to take food out of the freezer to thaw. I grabbed a frozen filet and per the directions that I found online I added water and lemon juice to the pot and sprayed the steamer rack with non stick spray. I put the filet on the rack and cooked it for four minutes. I didn't use any seasonings. The salmon was perfect and so yummy! I couldn't believe it.
Over the weekend I made chili and mac and cheese. The chili only took 14 minutes after browning the meat and the mac and cheese took four minutes. I love this so much. I can't wait to cook more items using the different functions." —Debbie B.

Promising review: "If you LOVE iced coffee (I drink it year round regardless of the weather), then you NEED this cold brewer. I work for Starbucks, and I love their cold brew. I was skeptical to make it at home, but I love mine more than theirs. It’s especially nice since Starbucks only brews one kind of beans for cold brew, but at home, you can brew your favorite kind. Absolutely love this, and it’s worth more than it costs. A must-buy for yourself or a wonderful gift for the coffee lover in your life!" —j.blaine

Promising review: "After people started snatching up bottled water when covid hit, I picked this up as an alternative. I'm really glad I did too. Installation was easy and our water tastes so much better than the straight tap water available to us. Good enough to phase my wife and me away from bottled water altogether. Swapping the filter out is super simple as well. Since it mounts under the sink, it goes completely unnoticed and leaves room for other items. This'll be a mainstay in our home." —Bruce Mathis Jr.
