    56 Genius Kitchen Products That'll Legitimately Change Your Life

    It's time for your kitchen to have a glow-up.

    1. An under-shelf pull-out spice organizer to make sure you're utilizing all of your cabinetry space. This is a lifesaver if you've got a lot of spices and nonperishables and have run out of room to store 'em.

    2. A minimalist fruit bowl that doubles as a secret colander. Because it's on a pedestal, moisture will automatically slide down out of the bowl, so fruits and veggies will dry thoroughly.

    Promising review: "I love the way this looks on my counter. It is sturdy and holds all the fruit that I purchase in a week just perfectly." —Jami Lively

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in white or green).

    3. A strip of LED Lights to add some extra lighting to your kitchen that can be voice-controlled via Alexa and Google Home. These are super easy to install and have a color spectrum of over 16 million colors. They can even sync with your music! This is a great way to make a major upgrade to your kitchen without spending big bucks, especially if you're a renter.

    4. A set of silicone oven rack edge protectors, because it absolutely sucks when you're going to get something out of the oven and you burn your hands or forearms on those hot metal racks. 

    Check out a TikTok of the oven rack protectors in action.  

    Promising review: "I first saw these mentioned by someone on TikTok and immediately put them on my Christmas list. One of my favorite gifts I received! Very helpful to ease my fear of burning myself on the oven racks." —Amanda B.

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in red or gray). 

    5. "Bread Buddy" dispenser to keep your bread fresh for longer. The bread stays in its original bag — which prolongs its life — and dispenses one slice at a time. It's designed to stand upright, which will free up valuable countertop or fridge space.

    Promising review: "After 14 years of my kids not sealing the bread back up, we have finally found a solution to bread going stale before being used up! Not only do these prevent waste, they allow me to stand the loaves on end, saving valuable counter space! It's a win-win." —Katherine Anthony

    Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available with a white or red lid). 

    6. A slim profile pull-and-rotate cabinet organizer that smartly stacks spices and such on top of each other thanks to two shelves. The top shelf holds short items, and the bottom shelf holds taller ones. 

    Promising review: "TikTok inspired me. Guys, this thing is the real deal. Everything that doesn't fit on my spice rack ended up cluttering my cabinets. This thing solved that problem efficiently, quickly, and reasonably. We added a little extra double-sided tape to the bottom to make it extra secure. Love it." —Kaitlyn B. 

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99

    7. An aesthetically pleasing dishwasher magnet you stick to yours so you always know if the dishes inside are clean or dirty.

    Promising review: "I bought this because of a TikTok video. Super cool and now nobody has to ask me if the dishes are clean or not." —D. Washington

    Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in three styles). 

    8. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer so lingering and questionable smells in your refrigerator can be a thing of the past. Unlike charcoal or baking soda, this air purifier doesn't just absorb smells, it actively purifies and circulates the air. Oh, and a single charge will last 30 days!

    Check out a TikTok of the deodorizer in action. 

    Promising review: "To be honest, I didn't think this would actually do a whole lot. I saw a TikTok where someone put this in their fridge, and I ended up buying it to put inside my small sports car. There was a noticeable difference in my car after leaving it in overnight! Now I keep it in the fridge, and typically the fridge just smells like the giant tub of kimchi we always have, but this little thing actually helps eliminate a lot of the smells. It's so little and cute I love it!" —Sofina

    9. An amazing cheese grater to grate an entire block of cheese in under a minute. It can grate vegetables and nuts, too!

    10. An expandable rack that wraps around your awkwardly shaped kitchen sink pipe, no problem. When you use this you'll quite literally double the storage space in your cabinet. Can you say "miracle product"?

    11. A clear, nonslip cutting board to go right onto your countertop when it comes time to chop up veggies and fruits. This is especially great if you have a beautiful countertop that you want to show off.

    12. A slim magnetic stove shelf that converts that awkward space on top of your stove into a little ledge. It's perfect for holding everyday cooking items like spices and olive oil, or all those random spices you'll need to make Mom's world-famous lasagna.

    StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves. 

    Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action.

    Promising review: "This was such an awesome buy! I don’t like things on my counter and it was very important for me to have these items at arms reach! I LOVE THIS STOVE SHELF! I’m glad I saw it on TikTok!" —Yesenia

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in six finishes). 

    13. A microfiber spin mop with a very efficient design to keep your kitchen floors sparkling clean. You step on a pedal to make it spin, and it's actually kinda remarkable how much extra wetness it spins off. And the design of the actual mop is brilliant — it's a triangular shape so you can get into tight corners.

    Promising review: "Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based upon the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime, then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." —LauraP320

    Get it from Amazon for $54.11.

    14. A smart cutting board and knife set to keep cutting boards and knives neatly stored and sanitized. The set includes four color-coded cutting boards — one for produce, one for bread, one for fish, and one for meat — and four knives. Wish the push of a button it dries and sanitizes the entire set.

    15. An egg drawer that snaps onto the bottom of any fridge shelf to give your eggs a home of their own. It's slightly angular, so each time you grab an egg the row rolls forward.

    16. An absolutely gorgeous glass rice dispenser so your bulk grains can be the star of your countertop or pantry. The lid's airtight, and it comes with a glass measuring cup.

    17. A silverware sorter that fits a full 24-piece cutlery set but takes up half the space of a traditional organizer, freeing up a ton of storage in your drawer.

    18. A can of fire-extinguishing aerosol spray to keep near your cooking area in case you ever accidentally start a small cooking fire. The can is small enough to fit on a kitchen shelf, but strong enough to provide 32 seconds of firefighting time.

    19. A sleek, magnetized dry erase board for your fridge so you can stay on top of your tasks and grocery shopping list. You can easily keep track of all the eggs, blueberries, and bulk iced coffee concentrate you'll need for your next grocery run.

    Reviewer's clear fridge board is shown

    20. A rapid egg cooker that'll cook up to six eggs any way you want. Poached? You got it. Hard-boiled? Done. It can even make omelets. Simply select your number of eggs and set the timer. When it's done it'll automatically shut off.

    21. An automatic, odor-absorbing, sensor-activated trash can made of fingerprint-proof stainless steel. It's called a trash can, not a trash cannot.

    22. A kitchen sink drain cover to catch all the crumbs and food scraps that end up in your sink. That lingering smell caused by food buildup in your sink's drain? This makes sure that problem's in the past.

    23. A granite and stone cleaner that'll make stone countertops that look dull and are sticky instead be shiny and bright. Not only will this restore yours to its former glory, but it's also a disinfectant that kills up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria.

    24. A garbage disposal cleaner if your disposal smells a little funky. This product works in a matter of minutes and requires no elbow grease on your part. Just run the water, put the packet into the drain, then let the magic happen. The foam appears, it gets into all the hidden areas in your disposal and drain, and then removes the toughest gunk and foul odors.

    25. A washable, reusable sponge in vibrant prints that you just throw in the dishwasher or washing machine to make them like new again. You'll save a nice chunk of change by not needing to buy new sponges every couple of weeks.

    26. A roll of bamboo towels if you're done spending money on single-use paper ones. These are soooo strong, and when they get yucky you can just throw them in the washing machine to make 'em like new again. A single roll replaces up to six months of paper towels.

    27. A metal stand so you can finally have a spot to lay your mixing spoon and pot lid when you're cooking. Sure, a spoon rest is cool, but a spoon rest and a pot lid holder?! Genius!

    28. A lazy Susan if your kitchen cabinet is so packed with stuff that you have a hard time finding what you actually need. Instead of sorting through mountains of jars and canisters, place your most-used items on this for easy access.

    29. A cleaning kit to remove all the burnt food and gunk that's residing on your glass stovetop. It comes with a soft pad for everyday messes and a hardcore scraper if something doesn't want to budge.

    30. A handheld veggie spiralizer if you're trying to incorporate more produce into your meals and want a fun way to do it. With just a few twists, an ordinary carrot, cucumber, zucchini, squash, or potato can be turned into veggie spaghetti and more.

    31. A universal descaling solution that'll have your single-cup coffee and espresso machine in tip top shape in no time. It'll remove limescale and other hard water mineral deposits and prevents corrosion, so basically the whole shebang.

    32. An anti-fatigue, ergonomic kitchen mat to make sure you can be comfortable on your feet while you work in the kitchen. It's also waterproof and cushioned, so it's basically the perfect rug if you stand in one place in the kitchen for long periods of time (like dishwashing at the sink).

    33. A tub of the TikTok-famous Pink Stuff that's great if you want an all-purpose cleaning paste that can pretty much take on any stains, smudges, scruffs, and more on any hard surface. This is easily one of the most popular cleaning products out there — there are over 122,000 5-star reviews on Amazon for a reason.

    34. paper towel roll holder to literally stick to your wall or under the cabinet, all thanks to being backed with self-adhesive. That's right, this genius product requires no tools to install and won't damage your walls or cabinets with nails or screws. You're going to save so much countertop space, too!

    Promising review: "I just happen to see this in a TikTok video and immediately went to Amazon to order! Matches my stainless steel theme of my kitchen, super easy to install with included adhesive stickers, sturdy! Looks fabulous, great price." —Nana

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five finishes). 

    35. An Instant Pot that is truly, just honestly so essential to any kitchen. This thing does it all: pressure cook, slow cook, cook rice, steam, sauté...it even makes yogurt. If you can only have one small appliance in your entire kitchen, make it this one.

    36. A food storage set with eight 30-ounce containers with lids, perfect for meal prepping. These are made out of thick glass that doesn't get that food stain fog like traditional plastic ones.

    37. A cabinet door organizer so your cutting boards and paper boxes (that hold aluminum foil, parchment, etc) don't take up countertop or drawer space, and instead are stored in a space that would otherwise go unused.

    38. A jar of Humble Suds' all-natural scour cleaning paste for taking on tough cleaning jobs like baked on grime in the oven to removing difficult stains on your kitchen's grout. Thanks to a combination of castile soap and essential oils like sweet orange and lemongrass, not only does this do the job of removing grime, but it smells amazing, too!

    39. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers, because your most-used pantry items deserve special containers that'll help prolong their freshness.

    40. Or a set of Oxo food storage containers if you want something with a little more pizzazz. Not only do they look great and make pantries so organized, but the airtight seal really does prolong the life of nonperishable items like pastas, flour, and chips.

    Push down the button on the top to activate the airtight seal. To open, just push down again for the button to pop up. The lid also comes apart for easier cleaning.

    Promising review: "Love the Oxo pop-top canisters! They seal well and open easily with a press to the pop-top. I have arthritis in my hands and these are fabulous and so easy to open, yet so secure when the lid is popped close. Also has a useful knob on the bottom of the lid so you can stick an Oxo scoop inside the container to the lid rather than down in whatever you are storing in the container." —Lori A. Fregin

    Get a 10-piece set from Amazon for $109.

    41. A set of fridge organization labels that have a ton of font, size, and color options. Imagine opening your fridge and everything is exactly where it's supposed to be — an organizer's dream come true!

    42. A set of magnetic glass spice jars if you have a ton of spices but no where to store them. Not only will this product fix that problem, but it looks cool, too!

    43. An easy-to-use blender that can chop, mix, blend, whip, grind, and more. And because of its tiny size, it's the perfect fit for single servings like a smoothie or cup of salsa.

    44. A practical cereal dispenser for your countertop or in your pantry if you're really into cereal but not necessarily the various boxes it comes in. Now you'll have the perfect bowl ready to go with the twist of a knob.

    Promising review: "No. I did not need this BUT because I saw it on TikTok… I had to have it. We don’t even eat cereal lol but I love that this cereal dispenser took my kitchen up a few points. Great as a gift!! (Believe me because someone definitely stole mine out of the mailroom the first time around) lol!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $28.42

    45. A spice rack drawer organizer in a 10-foot roll that you can cut to size if you have a lot of drawers and spices but not cabinets. The roll provides enough length to organize 30+ full-size spice bottles.

    46. cabinet hammock to store your fruits and veggies in the cutest way possible. Because your produce won't be jammed in a bowl, the likelihood of mold is lessened.

    Get it from Macra-YAY Macrame on Etsy for $33.

    47. A garlic chopper to take on the time-consuming task of chopping or mincing garlic. You put up to five regular-size cloves in it and then use your hand to roll this thing on any smooth surface, and it chops it all up in a matter of seconds. If you want to mince it, you keep rolling for maybe 10 more seconds. It's seriously the best!

    reviewer holding chopper filled with chopped garlic

    48. An ice cube tray with a lid to make over 200 tiny cubes without needing a bulky and expensive ice machine. Traditional ice cube trays only make 12 cubes, and because there's no lid they can get gross and absorb the smells of other foodstuff in your freezer. With this one, you plop the cubes into the bin when they're frozen, and use the lil' scoop to get ice whenever you need it.

    49. A drip catcher for soaking up water splashes and puddles that form around your kitchen faucet. Make sure you never have pools of still water (a breeding ground for bacteria!) around your faucet again.

    50. A set of fruit and vegetable containers for folks who love efficiency and a well organized fridge. The containers are stored within their own colander, so you can drain your produce and then nestle them right in. There's an adjustable divider in each, so you can store multiple types of produce in one container. Each one has vents that can be adjusted for fruits (vent stays open) and veggies (vent stays closed). Oh, and they're airtight, which will prolong the life of whatever you're storing.

    51. A drink dispenser to keep your favorite drinks organized. As you pull a can or bottle out of the dispenser, it'll push all of the drinks behind it forward. Reviewers rave that it holds so many bottles while also freeing up a ton of fridge space.

    A before and after image showing the drink holder being used to organize a fridge

    52. A magnetized kitchen conversions chart that you can put on your fridge so it's always on display. So many recipes call for conversions, and this nifty chart will make sure you'll always know exactly how much of an ingredient the recipe calls for.

    A closeup of the chart shows the different conversions

    53. A freestanding water bottle holder for your cabinet so your vast assortment of water bottles finally gets organized.

    Some folks also use this for wine bottles! 

    Promising review: "I got this after being influenced by others on TikTok and am so glad that I did. These worked great to organize and store all my tumblers. It even fit my 30-ounce cups, although they don't sit all the way down into the opening it still stores them. I could use one more of these in this cabinet to store the rest of my coozies and cups. I love the color, and these are made from thick, sturdy material that won't warp or break over time. So happy with this purchase!" —Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $26.49+ (available in six sizes and three colors). 

    54. A peel-and-stick yogurt holder that can go on the walls or ceiling of your refrigerator, which is otherwise space that would go unused.

    55. An under-cabinet lid opener so you never struggle to open a jar again. And because it mounts to the underside of your cabinet, it'll be out of sight and out of mind when you don't need it.

    Promising review: "This thing is amazing. Saw it on TikTok, haha! I struggle to open things and this uses minimal effort. You wouldn't know it's under my cabinet." —Carrie Comer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.55.

    56. And a wine rack that stacks one bottle on top of another. Because it goes up and not horizontal, you'll be utilizing the normally unused vertical space in your fridge, therefore freeing up more shelf space.
