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 7-quart Crock-Pot reviewers love because of its extra-generous size and ridiculously low price. It's big enough to cook easy "set it and forget it" meals for the whole family (and then some!), and is sure to last forever.
2. Rachael Ray nonstick bakeware that is all nice and sturdy even though it's also pretty light. They come with cool-touch silicone handles, so they're easy-peasy to take in and out of the oven. Reviewers rave nothing sticks to them and they're really easy to clean. All that sounds pretty yum-o to me!
3. A 10-piece set of unbreakable plastic Rubbermaid food storage set with lid clips and no-leak gaskets that really work. They'll make it way easier to save your leftovers or take your good cookin' to a second location without slopping half of it all over your back seat on the way there.
4. A breakfast sandwich maker that's a cinch to use to make bodega-style BEC goodness in less than the time you'd spend just waiting to place your order. People who've tried it love that they're able to make custom sandwiches in just a couple minutes without leaving their kitchen, saving them time and money.
5. A set of three Pyrex measuring cups so you don't have to rely on "eyeballing it" anymore. They're super easy to read and are sure to be the last ones you'll ever buy, because the markings don't fade and the glass is almost completely unbreakable.
6. A ground meat smasher that breaks up the chunks way more evenly and with less effort than trying to use a spatula. It's one of those things folks at first are always like, "wait, what?!?," but soon you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
7. And! A digital food thermometer with a temperature alarm you can set, because guessing based on color really doesn't cut it when it comes to determining whether your meat is safely cooked.
8. A set of super-sharp ceramic-coated knives that make cutting a breeze. They're color-coded so you can tell them apart, and come with plastic sleeves so you can just toss them in a drawer instead of using a knife block.
9. A microwave rice cooker because there's nothing easier than putting something in raw and then zapping it to completion. Also, I don't know about you, but I find cooking rice on the stove top pretty much impossible — this is way cheaper (and easier to store) than an electric rice cooker.
10. An egg cooker that'll make perfect poached or hard boiled eggs without having to fuss with boiling and ice water or worry about gray yolks and that weird cooking-eggs smell that always happens when you use the stove.
11. A tube of Bar Keepers Friend abrasive cleanser to clean stuck-on grossness with a minimum of elbow grease. It doesn't scratch and it's safe to use on glass, metal, ceramics, Corian, and pretty much every other surface in your kitchen. It's a time- and effort-saving dream for anyone who hates all the work it usually takes to clean your dishes.
12. And! A six-pack of scouring pads that work great with Bar Keepers Friend to remove baked-on gunk and stubborn splatters with as little effort as humanly possible.
13. Or! A Scrub Daddy no-scratch scouring sponge reviewers swear by to keep their dishes and cookware crud-free, without having to work too hard at it.
14. A pack of detergent pods that are perfectly measured so all you have to do is toss one in and fire-up the dishwasher. Even though these come with mega-cleaning power (thanks, enzymes!), they have no synthetic dyes, fragrances, or phosphates and always leave your clean dishes soap-residue free.
15. A lid organizer, because the one lid you need never seems to be in that precarious pile of them you keep on the top shelf of your cabinets, and tearing apart the rest of the kitchen to find it only leads to more trouble. Reviewers love all the space it saves.
16. An incredibly popular 2-pound bread-maker that does most of the work for you and helps out folks who don't have the mobility to mix or knead by hand.
17. A basting/melting/steaming cover that's your favorite diner's secret to perfectly fried eggs, bacon, and the melted cheese on your burger. It can also help other things cook faster. Slap it on, sprinkle some water, and wait a minute for the steam to work it's magic!
18. Or! A cast-iron press for seared steaks, perfectly flat bacon, and curl-free burgers. It's easy to use, pre-seasoned, and so well-designed — it has grooves so heat and grease can escape and the coil handle stays nice and cool.
19. A Pioneer Woman floral oven mitt, pot holder, and a towel set reviewers praise for being generously sized so you can dry your dishes faster and take stuff out of the oven without singeing yourself.
20. Unbreakable, microwave- and oven-safe pasta bowls because we all know eating spaghetti, chili, stew, fried rice, or salad off a plate is a recipe for disaster. Reviewers like them for eating sloppy stuff on the couch: the sides make it less likely for your food to spill!
21. Pyrex glass mixing bowls that come with lids, so you always have the right size on-hand for when you're cooking or serving, ~and~ you can just pop any leftovers in the fridge when you're done. Reviewers love the convenience of the lids and that the set stacks for easy storage.
22. A Keurig single-serve coffee maker that uses pods to make fresh coffee, tea, and other hot beverages in less than a minute. To clean up just toss out the pod, which is awesome because if you've ever had to deal with wet coffee grounds you can agree with me that they're probably the grossest thing ever (they're always somehow hard and slimy at the same time and the smell, especially the day after — yuck!).
23. A Tasty Dutch oven that'll streamline your meal prep by opening you up to a whole new world of one-pot cooking. It has silicone handles, is nonstick and scratch-resistant, and the cover is made of shatterproof glass.
24. An Air Fryer to help you make all your favorite fried foods in less time and without the usual splatter and mess. You can also use it to cook and reheat just about everything — once you start using it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
25. A 8-quart Instant Pot, that'll save you time and expand your culinary horizons. Instant Pots cook food up to 70% faster than using the stove.
26. A Cuisinart 8-cup food processor so you can whip up a party-sized portion of salsa or hummus in just a few seconds. The efficiency is almost magical.
27. A Pioneer Woman foldable tote for potlucks, picnics, and all the other occasions when you want to take your culinary magic to a second location. Good food deserves to be shared!
28. A Cuisinart hand mixer, because whisking is hard work, and you need to save your hand strength for scrolling through your Instagram feed. Now, you can whiz through beating batters, whipping egg whites, and even mixing bread dough.
29. Microserrated kitchen shears that'll be there for you when you've been watching a lot of The Great British Baking Show and get inspired to garnish something. It cuts things small things finely much easier than using a knife.
30. A NutriBullet Pro 900 watt blender, perfect for when smoothie time comes around. It crushes ice with ease and lets you turn just about anything into a sippable superfood in under a minute.
31. And a Krups coffee grinder that'll turn just about whatever you toss in there into a fine powder in ten seconds or less. I use mine to grind spices when I'm making curry.
