Today I learned that I've been cooking all wrong.
My colleague swears by this simple mixture of sea salt, onion, and garlic. Check out her Everything But The Bagel Seasoning review for more deets.
Promising review: "Wow! Buy this. Just stop reading reviews and buy it now. Makes any dish better. I bought this over a week ago and have since used it on avocado toast, roasted veggies, crisped chickpeas, potato soup, grilled fish...just about everything!!! So delicious and no chemicals — just pure seasoning. Six stars!" —agora1031

Promising review: "This tastes good on everything! Obsessed! Putting this on warm biscuits has been my favorite so far! It makes everything better! I also put some in my coffee, which was amazing. High quality packaging and nice presentation as well." —Chicken Shack

There's also a white truffle version as well as a hotter version of the classic black truffle hot sauce.
Promising review: "Purchased this because it was on Oprah’s favorite things. This is what you get if truffle and Sriracha had a baby but 10x better. I highly recommend because it helps my boring food taste better." —Linzy nguyen

Promising review: "I wouldn't consider myself a 'wine connoisseur' by any means, but I typically have a bottle or so float through my house each week. This wine corker takes the hassle out of pulling the original cork out, it is easy to clean, makes the wine taste better, and hello it's cheap! Would make a GREAT cheap gift for a wine drinker. At the moment, I only have the one, but I'm planning to grab a few more to keep on hand." —JasonKim Lebeda

Promising review: "Use often. Works well. Love that I can quickly chop up vegetables to same size so they cook more evenly. Especially love if I’m doing a lot of onions for food prep. Note: does not work on tomatoes for those wondering. I give a quick rinse with hot water to clean up and air dry." —lte

Promising review: "My wife and I love this! It's big enough to do both our sandwiches at the same time or two quesadillas if it's a tortilla folded in half. It heats up quickly and cleans up easily. The food we make using this tastes so much better than if you use a pan, and it's done so much faster. Overall it's just great! I would recommend this to family and friends. We use it several times a week on average and it has performed perfectly. When we're done it tucks away neatly." —Dominic B

Promising review: "Love love love my Instant Pot! I've had it for about four weeks and I use it about four to five times a week. I look online for different recipes and ideas how to use it. A lot of people say that it seems very overwhelming, but it's not bad at all. Just read the manual, look up recipes and ideas online, and try something simple like beans or rice for your first try. You'll get use to how it works. It's an awesome toy! I've made beans, rice, soups, roasts, whole chickens, cheese cakes, chili, homemade mac 'n' cheese, bone broth, etc. Everything tastes so much better in the Instant Pot!" —honeybee08

Check out my colleague's Instant Pot Air Fryer review and I can basically guarantee you'll want one before you even finish the article.
Promising review: "After listening to dozens of clients and friends talk about their air fryers, I decided it was time to bite the bullet so to speak. Consumer Reports' rave reviews led me to the Instant Vortex Plus. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ IT! Everything seems to taste better cooked in an air fryer. Even salmon is more moist and flavorful. Plus food cooks more quickly than traditional oven or fryer methods. The Vortex is large capacity so it’s easy to cook two or more types of food at the same time. Do it...you won’t regret it!" —Rosanne Heideman

Promising review: "I can't believe I have lived this long without a food processor! This makes cooking so much easier. I love grating cheese fresh, I think it tastes better and I like knowing it doesn't have the added cellulose. This shreds a cheese block in seconds. I used to use a hand grater. I use this to shred chicken, dice veggies, make hummus...so many uses. Cleanup is a breeze too: I throw all the top attachments on the top rack in dishwasher." —Missy K

Promising review: "This thing really works great. Takes only seconds to tenderize any kind of meat. I've used on pork, beef, and chicken and the results are these meats cook and taste so much better after being tenderized with this. Many people ask about dishwasher-safe. I have used it for a while and always put it in the dishwasher and it's fine. It's plastic and stainless-steel so I don't think the dishwasher can hurt it." —5280

Promising review: "I was not sure we would like this but it has been great. First the quality is great, second it has spot-on temperature control, and third it is the only way to make top quality foods with lower budget cuts of meat. We've made moist great-tasting chicken and roast beef lunch meat better than at the deli and for about a third of the cost. There is a learning curve for cooking times and temps but with a little perseverance you will be eating the best-tasting with no added chemicals food you could ever want." —steve's view

Glass jars are *not* included in this kit, so we recommend you pick up a pack on Amazon, like this four-pack for $18.99.
Promising review: "Made a few batches of kraut in mason jars without these 'easy fermenter' lids, but it was hard to protect against mold/bacteria. Tried these lids and wife and I have been cranking out a nonstop supply of delicious homemade kraut that is even better tasting than the expensive store-bought kind. The primary advantage to this system is obviously the pump, which allows a bigger batch of kraut to stay anaerobic during the consumption phase. An unexpected benefit was the purchase allowed you to join an online community of kraut fans for very helpful pointers and recipes." —jason jones

Promising review: "Really well made product. It is sturdy and works great, I foresee this lasting for quite some time. It is very easy to use and can make stuffed burgers as well as regular burgers. I also bought the paper sheets recommended because then I can buy ground beef on sale and shape and freeze my own hamburger patties. It saves quite a bit of money to do it this way as opposed to buying already made ground beef patties, not to mention the taste is sooooo much better!" —deborah

All the parts are dishwasher safe, too!
Promising review: "I give this item 5 stars. It is everything I thought it would be and more. It performed just like it was advertised and better yet, the fruit that you put in taste better when it comes out in your bowl or cup. I recommend this to everyone as a good purchase. Also, it cleans very easily." —Trusting
Get it from Amazon for $45.20.
Promising review: "I bought this to whip my milk and creamer for my coffee and I LOVE IT! Oddly my coffee tastes BETTER! And I used it for whisking eggs and other small things and it works like a charm! I might buy another to keep by the stovetop. Great price!" —Dea
