We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A rustic (aka Instagrammable) wood cutting board which could totally double as a fancy charcuterie serving tray to make dinners at home feel as special as going out.
2. A pair of meat shredding claws that will make you look and feel like Wolverine while shredding meat without wrecking your hands, and are indestructible even when put in the dishwasher (also like Wolverine).
3. An electronic can opener that will quite literally change your life, as it has changed mine. Not only is it so fast and easy to use, but it also minimizes the risk of an unfortunate accident because it opens the cat without creating sharp edges.
4. A stainless-steel seasoning injector that will make you look like a pro in the kitchen. Seriously, this is how the chefs make your steaks taste so good at the restaurant.
5. A pasta maker to take the stress out of trying a new homemade recipe. With this gadget, you can jump right in.
6. A microwave bacon cooker that will make getting the perfect crisp way easier, without the risk of getting an oil burn!
7. A cordless hand mixer for the time right after you've binge-watched Great British Bake Off and you want to try your hand at a spongey cake without getting a dreaded hand cramp, like if you used a normal whisk.
8. A cute, yet practical utensil holder (to match your new cutting board?) because I know you and your roommates are over getting your drawers stuck because you tried to stuff cooking utensils in there with the silverware.
9. A professional knife set so you can stop risking injury every time you chop veggies. Seriously, it's time to upgrade from the one knife you took from your parents' house when you moved out. These'll make eating greens a lot easier!
10. An over-the-sink drying rack that prevents the really gross water build-up that happens inside/under normal drying racks. Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!
11. A pressure cooker that screams "I'm a good cook," while whispering "and also lazy." If you've got limited time, but you're trying to stop ordering so much Uber Eats, this is the gadget for you.
12. An electric coffee grinder in case you keep forgetting to grind your coffee beans at the store.
13. An espresso maker that is so cute you will surely buy fewer expensive lattes because you want to make TikToks of yourself using it. Plus, it's way more straightforward than a coffee machine and more environmentally friendly than a Keurig.
14. A milk frother, because I am clearly invested in making your homemade coffee as good as mine has become with all these fun products. This is one hundred percent the best product to buy to immediately elevate your at-home coffee routine.
15. A heat-resistant spoon rest, which is perfect for those of us who have lost one too many spoons because they melted resting on hot pots or pans.
16. A rapid defrosting tray to use when you realize you forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer 10 minutes before your mom gets home. You'll never have to figure out how to defrost in the microwave again.
17. A wall-mounted paper towel holder so you can save counter space and seem like an adult who has their life together by having a dedicated spot for your paper towels.
18. A mug tree to show off the cute mug collection I know you're hoarding (and to stop breaking mugs while getting them out of the cabinets).
19. An egg cooker so you never have to google "how long to boil eggs" ever again. An actual game-changer and lifesaver.
20. A circulator cooker (aka sous vide) that is one of the most impressive contraptions ever created. My coworker once used it to cook a steak under his desk during the work day! Talk about working smarter, not harder.
21. A kitchenware divider so you can finally store your pans in a way that doesn't cause a ruckus every time you take one single pan out.
22. A little kitchen scale, which makes it so much easier to keep your sourdough-making phase alive if you've been trying to get perfect amounts using just measuring cups.
23. A wine decanter which looks super impressive, makes your wine taste better, and will also impress your guests who have no idea what a wine decanter is.
24. A set of four silicone egg rings to ensure your fried eggs turn out perfect every. single. time. If you're like me, your yolk may get away from you every once in a while. This prevents that unpleasant scenario!
25. A shelving rack to store your spices. It has lots of space if you're like me and you accidentally buy a new thing of ginger "just in case" despite already having several unopened spice bottles.
26. A spice grinder that will look cute sitting on your counter when you're not using it to grind fresh pepper. It could be the first step in starting to do more things in the kitchen from scratch!
27. A pasta drying rack so you can make enough fresh pasta to save for later, without having to come up with innovative and sketchy places to hang your drying pasta.
28. A lemon squeezer that gets out the very last bits of juice in the lemon that you can't possible squeeze out with just your hands.
