1. A genius sandwich bread dispenser reviewers say helps keep loaves of sandwich bread fresher longer (think: weeks) because it's time we finally put an end to that annoying moment of discovering green spots a few days after grocery shopping and having to throw away half the loaf.
Buddeez is a family-owned small biz based in Missouri that sells home goods!
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two colors).
2. A double-sided pickle juice straining jar so the next time your craving for a crunchy snack strikes, you won't have to wrestle it out of a messy pickle juice pool. Simply turn the container so the juice strains, take your pickle, and then flip it back over so they can go back to soaking up the brine and staying fresh.
This works well for olives, too!
Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six style including ones with a tong).
3. A prep and pour cutting board because how many times have you cut up an assortment of fresh veggies for a chopped salad just for a quarter of those veggies to end up on the floor instead of the bowl when transferring them afterwards?! If you're anything like me, then too many.
Promising review: "I gave one to my daughter and kept one for myself. I like how it folds to get all the ingredients into the bowl or pan on the first try. My husband used it for the first time and said this works great!" —Sheri Marley
Get a set of two from Amazon for $23.99.
4. And some brilliant fog-free onion goggles you'll wanna add to your cart if you plan on using your new cutting board to chop onions but don't want to turn into an endless stream of tears while doing so.
My colleague, Britt Ross (seen wearing the goggles above, left), swears by these! Check out what she has to say about them:
"As you can see from the ~extremely~ stylish photo above, I own these very goggles! OK, maybe they're not the coolest-looking accessories in the world, but NONETHELESS (!) they are an absolute lifesaver if you suffer from painful eye stinging and tearing while slicing those alliums. I used to avoid recipes that called for any onion that wasn't a scallion because I hated preparing onions with all my might, but once these entered my life, I found myself chopping away with ease. The key is to make sure the goggles create a really tight seal around your eyes — I have a smaller head, so I sometimes have to really push them on to make sure they're airtight, but once I figured this out, it was a total game changer. Will you feel super silly while you have 'em on? Yes! Will you care after you see your finished pile of onions that were chopped without shedding a single tear? No! And if I'm willing to plaster myself wearing them all over BuzzFeed, you can definitely wear them in the privacy of your own kitchen. I highly recommend them to anyone who also suffers from onion tears!"
Get them from Amazon for $17.78+ (available in five colors).
5. Or a veggie chopper if the thought of cutting up produce by hand is daunting. Do yourself a favor and grab this. I own this and let me tell you, it is a DREAM kitchen product. Sometimes you're just too hungry or impatient to do the prep work yourself and that is OK!!!
Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in super useful kitchen gadgets!
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
6. A pancake batter blender and dispenser that'll make the most important meal of the day the most simple one, too. Just add your ingredients to the bottle along with the blending ball, give it a shake, and then have some fun by pouring the batter onto your pan/griddle in fun shapes or diner-quality perfectly round circles.
Promising review: "If you like to eat pancakes for breakfast a lot and want to avoid a lot of dishes, please get this! This is so worth it. I saw this on TikTok and had to get it. Just make sure you’re putting the amount of water that’s right for the amount you’re going to eat." —Buchii
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
7. A fruit bowl doubling as a colander so you can rinse apples, citrus fruits, or anything else you like and display them all on one neat little invention. Plus, the pedestal fruit bowl is sleek and versatile and is truly gonna look great in any kitchen it's in.
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.
8. A roll-up dish drying rack anyone with a kitchen on the smaller side (especially when it comes to counter space) is gonna be so thankful exists because now you don't need to contemplate if you have enough room to squeeze a whole drying rack between your coffeemaker and air fryer.
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok and I’m so glad I did! I hate having things on my counters that don’t belong. I have a dishwasher but I have some things (like most everyone) that aren’t dishwasher safe. I love that I can just roll this out and dry my dishes over the sink. The fact that air is able to get to all sides allows dishes like cups and bowls to actually get dry. Prior to this I was using a drying mat next to my sink, but I was always having to towel dry items that had been sitting out 'drying' for hours. Even my husband is impressed. He has told me multiple times it was such a good buy!" —Sheri
Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in eight sizes).
9. And an expandable colander that'll be a game changer when it comes to rinsing off your food — while we're on the subject of making the most out of your limited kitchen space by utilizing the sink.
This colander can expand from 14.5 to 19.5 inches. It's top-rack dishwasher safe as well!
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this. I leave it in my sink always. It makes washing fruits or draining pasta so much easier and has such a simple cleanup. It also adds a nice pop of color to my kitchen. I highly recommend it." —Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six colors and in two-packs).
10. A set of silicone air fryer liners because the only thing stopping you at the moment from living your best "air-fried chicken tenders and french fries for dinner every night" dream is the thought of having to clean the air fryer basket after. Just pop the silicone bowl in the dishwasher when you're done and voila!
Promising review: "I bought these because I was tired of cleaning the whole air fryer container. These were bought on a whim for both mine and my boyfriend's parents, who each have an air fryer. They work great, keeping all greases and crumbs inside, and make it easier to clean. The only bad thing (and this may just be me) is the ridges/ripples on the bottom of the inside of the liner. When you try to wash it in the sink, don’t put the stream of water right on those unless you want to take a small bath. Other than that, these are fantastic. My boyfriend also says that it seems to make everything crispier, and we love that." —Jordan Hixson
Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four color combinations).
11. A super cool and useful magnetic stove shelf you simply put on top of your stove and boom — instant additional storage space for things like spices, oil, and anything else you may need!
StoveShelf is a small biz based in the US and sells various options of shelves for your stove.
Promising review: "There was no setup. Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in six finishes).
12. Cleaning K-Cups that'll serve as the easiest, fastest way to get your beloved Keurig in the clean condition it should always be in.
All you have to do is put one of these babies in like you would with any other K-Cup, brew one large cycle, watch dirty water get cleaned out, throw the pod away, run a water-only cycle, and then return to brewing your faves.
Promising reviews: "We’ve had our Keurig for a few years, and with the exception of using only filtered water and dispensing hot water every so often, we’ve never cleaned the needle or K-Cup area. I used three cleaning cups back to back and WOW our machine was dirty! I'm so happy I purchased these! I’ll be keeping up on cleaning these more often." —Heather Garcia
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.
13. An oil solidifier powder (from Shark Tank!) you just sprinkle over hot oil (do it dramatically like you're a fairy godmother and it's magic dust), let solidify, and then scoop out the now-hardened leftover oil from the pot/pan.
This product is made from 100% plant-derived fats.
Promising review: "Honestly I didn’t know if this would work. Waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
14. A rapid egg cooker that'll prepare your favorite style of the yummy breakfast food EGGtra quick — hard-/medium-/soft-boiled, poached, scrambled, omelet — breakfast for every meal, anyone?

There's a poaching tray, omelet tray, a six-egg holder tray, a measuring cup, a recipe book, and access to a recipe database. All nonelectric parts are dishwasher-safe! To learn more about this EGGcellent product, check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review!
I love cooking, I really do, but there are two very inconvenient times that my cooking laziness strikes, and that is first thing in the morning when I wake up, and at the end of the day when it's time for dinner. Thankfully, in the morning, I now have this rapid egg cooker which allows me to make soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, or an omelet, all without having to stand over the stove.
It's also a great way to whip up a high protein snack during the day when you're busy with work, school, or just in the middle of a very important Netflix binge. The egg maker will let out a sound when your eggs are cooked, and then all you have to do is enjoy them!
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors).
15. A set of sheet pan dividers so you can cook all the different elements of your meal in one pan in the oven and ensure they heat up evenly too. Now that's what I call a win-win situation.
Promising review: "Brilliant. 100,000% recommend them! They let me separate veggies by how long they take to cook so they are all ready at the same time and nothing is over- or undercooked. I love these cheat sheets. They are a great tool for my kitchen." —yule
Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
16. A set of airtight storage containers that boast a multitude of good reasons to hit "add to cart" immediately. For starters, they'll help keep dry food (like cereal, crackers, dried fruit, etc.) fresh, they'll keep your kitchen nice and organized (because boxes and bags strewn all over is NOT it), and they look damn good. Hello, it's 2023, we're all about the aesthetics.
The set comes with reusable labels and markers!
Promising review: "No matter how many times I tried to make the package clutter in my pantry look nice, it wasn't happening. I tried the pop-top containers before but things still got stale, and [the containers] were too expensive to do the entire pantry. This set was so affordable that I bought two of them and was able to finally get everything organized! I've had no issues with things getting stale and my 4-year-old is now able to easily see, access, and open cereal or snacks when he wants to. Definitely recommend!" —Fisch
Get a 14-piece set from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in black and blue, and sets of 4, 24, and 36).
17. A bottle/jar opener to make quick work of unsealing sauces, jams, beverages, and so much more. The best part is it goes underneath your cabinets so it won't take up valuable kitchen space AND might even add an element of mystery as your guests watch you effortlessly pop off the tops of jars and bottles.
Promising review: "I very rarely write reviews, but as a person with arthritis in my hands, this product is a godsend! Installed it under my cabinet, and it opens any jar/container from the smallest (16-ounce plastic soda bottles) to the largest pickle jar I have. One of the best inexpensive purchases I've ever made. Buy it!" —Vicky Reed
Get it from Amazon for $16.39.
Read our full EZ Off jar opener deep dive.
18. A soft-serve maker that'll allow you to transform frozen fruit into a refreshing sweet treat.
All the parts are dishwasher-safe!
Promising reviews: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $38.91+ (available in six colors).

Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in five colors and four sizes).
20. A storage container that can hold up to five slices of leftover pizza and comes with divider plates you can use to reheat your leftover 'za in the microwave. Leftover pizza has never tasted so fresh. 😍
Pizza Pack is the small biz that sells this awesome pizza container!
Promising review: "It's always a pain to put away leftover pizza. It never seems to work. UNTIL THIS PRODUCT!!! I am very happy with my purchase. It's easy to keep the pieces separate from others and you don't have a large bulky box letting your crust dry out. You can use it for one piece or several — it is very easy to expand. The best part is that it is very easy to clean. Storing the Pizza Pack when not in use doesn't take up a lot of space either. Try it." —B. Cirincione
Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in six colors and multi-packs).
21. An olive oil dispenser so you can measure out the perfect amount needed for your recipes or salad dressings and pour it out with ease and without having to dirty up a measuring spoon.
Promising review: "This product is easy to use and is the perfect addition to any kitchen! I love how easily I can measure out olive oil and how smoothly it comes out of the bottle. It is great for cooking or for drizzling over salads! Not only is it easy to use, but it also looks nice in the kitchen. Unlike a plastic olive oil bottle, this dispenser is a beautiful addition to my counter top. Also, for anyone who is interested in measuring out their olive oil without needing to constantly pull out a tablespoon, this is the perfect dispenser for you! The spray bottle is also great for cooking! I love that I know exactly what comes out of the spray bottle, rather than a store-bought spray bottle with additives. 10/10 would recommend!" —Clotilde D.
Get it from Amazon for $29.89.
22. A brilliant ice tray that allows you to make ice cubes quickly and pour them out without ever having to actually touch the ice. I'll cheers to that!
Just fill the bottle-shaped ice maker with water, stick it in the freezer, pop the sides once the water is frozen, and pour the cubes into your glass. Icebreaker is a small biz based in Texas that sells this genius ice cube solution!
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer or on the way to the freezer, and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's OK with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors).
23. A handy grape cutter to quarter grapes and grape tomatoes quickly so you can spend less time snack-prepping and your little one can spend more time enjoying!
24. A very cool measuring cube that'll let you measure out both wet AND dry ingredients — no need to take out various cups and spoons and cram them all back into a drawer again after you've finished meal prep. Gotta love a multifunctional tool!
KitchenCube is a small based in Minneapolis that sells this genius measuring cube!
Promising review: "First of all I gotta say, I don’t cook much, and if there’s something I hate after cooking it's having to wash a bunch of utensils once I use them. This cube has been amazing; I don’t have to wash a million utensils over and over, it’s very easy to use, easy to clean, and it’s very handy to use when I’m meal prepping for the week. I bought this out of curiosity and ended up enjoying it a lot. If a regular guy like me is enjoying it, I’m sure it would be a great tool for people who cook or bake on a regular basis." —Daniel Matajira
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
25. A bottle of cast iron oil to make maintenance of your beloved skillet a breeze. It's super good at helping you whip up delicious meals but results that good do require a little more TLC from time to time than your other cookware pieces.
Just a heads up this stuff is formulated with coconut oil which is important to note before buying if you or someone you live with has an allergy to coconuts or tree nuts!
Promising review: "Works so much better then oiling up my cast iron and having the oil sometimes turns rancid. This stuff gives cast iron a nice finish and keeps them from rusting, and it doesn't stink." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two sizes).
26. A glass/bottle rinse that'll not only help cut back on the need for one person to use numerous glasses for their drinks throughout the day, but is gonna be so darn cool and fun to watch/use, you're gonna find yourself rinsing out your glass of water before re-filling with more water because you just CAN, damnit!
Just a heads up, this won't install on sinks without a flat edge!
Promising review: "Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" —Gayla Brink
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
27. A Nespresso Aeroccino3 milk frother to turn boring cups of coffee into foamy goodness with just the simple push of a button. No, really. Just add your milk or cream of choice, press the button, and pour the frothy goodness into your java!
My mom purchased a Nespresso a few months ago and it came with this handy frother and it's so ridiculously simply to use and a true game changer. The way that this singlehandedly makes me want to brew my own coffee when I'm staying at my parents' house instead of go out and spend money on Starbucks?! That is a true miracle for me personally.
Promising review: "Bravo Nespresso! I can't rave enough about this item. The simplest and best milk frother I have ever seen. Our lattes and cappuccinos are simply fantastic now with the heated, frothed milk from this machine. I have an expensive Jura coffee maker and it does hot, frothed milk well but not as easy to use or as well frothed as this thing. I can make only the amount of milk I need with this, where I would have a big bulky stainless-steel canister on the counter all day for the Jura with milk I would never get to use so would throw away. Well worth the price if you like perfectly frothed milk. Simple to use too! One of the best items I have ever purchased!" —Customer
Get it from Amazon for $98.99.
28. A butter stick holder so you can spread butter onto a pan, a slice of toast, or wherever else your heart desires in a pinch. Goodbye greasy fingers, shaking the skillet around in an attempt to evenly distribute, and trying (and failing) miserably to spread it on your bread with nothing but a knife and a dream.
The Magnetack is a small biz based in Miami that sells magnetic pushpin photo and poster holders.
Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. It holds a whole stick of butter and the butter stays in place — unlike some of the other products on the market that are supposed to serve the same purpose." —Michelle
Get it from The Magnetack on Etsy for $14.95.
29. A microwave panini press because what could be better than turning your sad and cold cheese sandwich into a grilled cheese by using this neat gadget and your microwave? NOTHING, THAT'S WHAT!
30. An anti-soggy cereal bowl so you can finally enjoy your breakfast the right way — perfectly crunchy but not dry cereal in every bite. This is great for more than just cereal, though. Use it for soup and salad lunches, chips and dip, and anything else your heart desires!
Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).
31. A spoon rest that'll hold your cooking utensils AND pot/pan lid — this way you'll be able to prevent spills and messes on your counter and floor. You're welcome.
Promising review: "I can’t believe how happy I am with this inexpensive item! I’ve been using a small plate as a spoon rest for years because I always need more than one, so why buy a single spoon rest? This has the added bonus of a lid holder instead of using a towel or pot-holder on the counter. I gave some as Christmas gifts after I used mine for a little while. I love it!" —LisaPants70
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two colors and packs of two).
32. Or a very helpful spoon rest that doubles as a measurement cheat sheet so you don't have to put meal-making on pause to Google how many tablespoons are in an ounce.
Promising review: "This looks very attractive on my black glass stovetop. It easily fits a couple of large spoons while I am cooking. It washes up very easily, too." —Eileen Mary
Get it from Amazon for $15.
33. A sliding caddy set because trust, it'll be so much easier to just slide a caddy out to use your gadgets/appliances than pulling the appliance itself.
Each caddy can hold up to 30 pounds!
Promising review: "I have a place under my counter that holds my Keurig and my toaster and I wanted/needed something that I could pull them out to toast bread and to put water in my Keurig, because it was a very very tight spot and I couldn’t do those things. This is a great product and I absolutely LOVE these for the use it has given me." —stephanie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99.
34. And last, but certainly not least, a coffee mug to end all other coffee mugs. It's equipped with a little button on the handle and when you push it, the contents in your cup mix together with ease. No more cream and sugar being saved until the last sip!
Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." —Lina
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in five colors).
