Promising review: "It looks crazy when it's sitting in your skillet, but by gum it is brilliant. Almost entirely eliminates spatter on your stove top and/or backsplash. Perfectly easy to put on, perfectly easy to reach into to stir or turn the food you're cooking, and washes up perfectly in the dishwasher (honestly, I wouldn't want to have to clean it without a dishwasher, just because of how floppy it is). I love my Frywall!" —N. O'Connor

Promising review: "I love that they help keep the stove clean. If a pot overflows, I just take the cover and rinse it in the sink and put it right back on the stove. I love these things." —Jennifer S

Promising review: "This item replaced a solid plastic non-collapsible microwave food cover, that melted when a popcorn bag was placed on top. But I digress. This thing is easy to clean, (the collapsible part is silicone, so spattered food washes off easily), and is very well made. It's tall enough to cover most plates of food, and shallow bowls. It folds pretty flat, so it can be easily stored somewhere other than in your microwave, but we just leave ours in the microwave all the time, until we need to microwave something other than a plate of food." —JRB

Promising review: "Wow wow wow! I have no words to describe how great this product is. I'm a mom with a large family that cooks and bakes all the time, and there is never a time that something doesn't spill over even when I'm standing and watching the pot. But with this, life has just gotten easy. I think I'm throwing out all my pot covers after using this I am mess-free! Thank you for such a great product" —Rackel

Promising review: "This is a hit at our household. My husband and I both like to use it and we love it! It is so convenient to use when cooking most anything. It holds utensils so well and they are easily unhooked for stirring soups or anything you are making. All utensils balance easily in the clip. No more dirtying spoon holders as the drip stays over the pots. It is a kitchen necessity, and oh, so convenient!" —Lakegirl

Promising review: "Had it for months now and it's exactly as advertised. This is sturdy — dropped it and no scratches, dents, and still intact. Our last spoon rest was ceramic and broke when we dropped it. Also, it's incredibly easy to clean. It does fine in the dishwasher on the top rack and rinses easily too. Doesn't stain either." —Katelyn M

Promising review: "We make a lot of pasta in our household so we're constantly using some utensil to stir the pasta while it cooks. I wasn't sure how this spoon would work — would it stay on the side of the pot? Would it feel flimsy? Would it work well or would it be one of those utensils that gets used once and then gets lost in your utensil drawer? This spoon worked great. That bright orange color makes it easy to find in the utensil drawer. While it's a bit heavy, I didn't feel that it was too heavy to use; it actually just felt sturdy. The notch in the spoon works great and keeps the spoon resting on the pot (just don't try and use it with any pot that has a lip) and you don't need to dirty a spoon rest when using this spoon. And it's dishwasher safe. All in all, a winner." —Book and Dog Lover

Promising review: "Who can say no to a mess-free toasted panini in under four minutes? Or frozen chicken nuggets or fish sticks... The sky is the limit with what you can fit into each of these toaster-safe bags. This is a late-night grilled cheese made in two minutes from heaven!!!" —corey

Promising review: "Many power bar recipes I make frequently call for nut butter or agave syrup, both sticky, gluey substances. Tired of messing up measuring cups and spatulas to get the sticky stuff in and then back out of the cups, I thought I'd give this a try. Wonderful! Yes, you need a spatula to get the nut butter or sticky stuff into the measuring cup, but then you turn the outside, and the material spirals into your mixing bowl. Easy to use, your hands stay clean. When you done, you can soak it or toss it into the dishwasher and let the machinery do the dirty work. Well-designed and easy to use." —QuinnCreative

Promising review: "Easy to use and convenient. This thing is a miracle in the mornings. I can whip up a quick smoothie, rinse off the blades, put on the cover and I'm out the door without having to worry about a big mess to clean up. You can't go wrong, especially for the price." —Jared H.

Promising review: "By far my favorite new kitchen gadget! It fits all of my pots and pans and makes it easy to direct the water/grease where I want it to go. I use it for pasta, couscous, ground beef, potatoes — everything that needs a strain. I haven’t had any food item fall out of the pan when straining. It cleans easily and doesn’t take up much storage space. Love this guy!!" —Jennifer

Promising review: "I love this! It's easy to use and I get perfect eggs every time. No more boiling on the stove with water splattering everywhere and ending up with cracked eggs. I put the eggs on and go about my business until I hear the beeping. The eggs are so easy to peel. I am addicted to poached eggs for breakfast in the morning now. I bought this in 2016 and it is still going strong. I can assure you when it goes out I will buy another one. If I could give it more than five stars I would." —Christina G

Promising review: "So happy I bought this. Makes cooking easier. My husband loves chicken, but with two toddlers running around and working full time, I don't always have time to whip up something good and healthy. This grill allows me to do that in under 10 minutes!!!! It's easy to use and clean. It's small enough to store anywhere. Doesn't make a mess and it cooks everything so well." —Es

This do-it-all kitchen appliance is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker and warmer.
Promising review: "I use the pressure cook and slow cook options regularly! I even got rid of my stovetop pressure cooker, because I wasn't using it anymore. This one does the job perfectly well, with no noise, and no mess. The sauté feature is a huge bonus. A lot of slow cooker recipes require that you brown the meat first. It really saves the mess and hassle of browning it on the stove, and then transferring it over to the slow cooker. I simply use the sauté feature to brown whatever I need, then turn it off, switch to slow cook mode, cover, and walk away. It's the best feeling to get home from work in the evening and have a home-cooked meal ready to go!" —Beatriz
Get it from Amazon for $79 for six-quart Instant Pot (originally $99.95, also available in three sizes and three styles).
Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? It's a simple concept: the tongs hold the ziplock open so you can easily fill mess-free. The arms have a clip on their end to hold the bag in place. The arms are adjustable up to a large size freezer bag. I really get irritated when I try to fill a bag and get sauce or whatever all over the zip portion of the bag, gross! This solves the problem. This works great to dry a green bag after I wash it out. I love fun AND useful kitchen tools, and this is a good one." —Mom of Three

Promising review: "Brilliant design. Great for washing berries or green beans, and also great for catching the snippings. It's so nice to be able to peel onions, trim radishes, and other vegetables without having to scoop the peels up by hand. Just peel/snip into the sink and dump all the debris just once. Love it." —KATHRYN T.

Promising review: "This mixing bowl invention is genius. Bread making always makes such a mess, but with the Lekue Silicone Bread Maker, I can mix, proof and bake all in one bowl. It was a big advantage for proofing wetter dough like crusty artistic or sourdough because transferring that wetter dough out of the proofing container without degassing it was always a challenge. Being able to do everything in one container is extremely helpful. Also, by having the Lekue wrap around the bread during baking helps to trap some steam for those desirable holes in artistic bread. I also like the torpedo shaped loaf it makes." —Keek, An Amazon Customer
