    36 Useful Kitchen Products Every Messy Cook Needs

    It's time to put a (pot) lid on your kitchen mess.

    1. A spill stopper to avoid worrying about that pot of pasta boiling over and wreaking havoc on your stovetop.

    2. A hanging garbage bag holder that won't crowd your counter space.

    3. A cutting board with a bottom tray for catching chopped veggies, run-off juices, or scraps. You can also use the tray to marinate meats.

    4. A rotating utensil holder so you can quickly find and grab the tool you need.

    5. A splatter protection wall to keep grease from flying EVERYWHERE.

    6. A pan and pot lid organizer that'll keep your cabinets neat and make everything easily accessible.

    7. A three-section skillet for cooking a whole meal with one pan.

    8. A cookbook and tablet stand with a splatter shield so 1.) you never lose your page and 2.) you won't get marinara sauce on your iPad.

    9. A set of stackable refrigerator storage bins to keep all your raw ingredients organized.

    10. A flexible cutting board that can transform into a scoop for easily transferring ingredients into the pot.

    11. A set of flexible measuring cups for some precise pouring control.

    12. A lazy Susan spice rack so you don't have to empty half of the cabinet to find the cumin.

    13. A magnetic fridge rack with a paper towel holder to keep your cleaning supplies within reach.

    14. A mini food processor that'll do all the messy prep work for you and isn't an eyesore.

    15. An elevated slotted spoon you won't need a rest for (the handle is heavier, so the head is always raised).

    16. A perforated washing bowl so rinsing rice and produce won't be a draining process.

    17. A set of stove counter gap covers to keep crumbs (and liquids) from falling into the unreachable abyss.

    18. A cotton apron that'll protect you from inevitable splatters. It's so pretty you'll actually want to wear it.

    19. A brush and squeegee combo for swiping spills on the countertop into the sink. You'll save a lot on paper towels.

    20. A funnel set so liquids won't spill everywhere as you're transferring some from one container to another.

    21. A clip-on strainer to keep your food from falling into the sink. Bonus: Your hands won't come close to hot liquids!

    22. And a bottle of Mrs. Meyer's multi-surface cleaner that'll leave your counters sparkling clean and your kitchen smelling amazing.

    23. A set of silicone pinch bowls for mise en place. They're stackable and shatterproof.

    24. A microwave pasta cooker so you can make dinner in minutes. It's one less pot to wash!

    25. A non-stick oven liner to catch any drips, spills, or crumbs and prevent them from becoming burnt blobs that won't budge no matter how hard you scrub.

    26. Heavy-duty cleaning wipes that'll remove sauce and grease splatters with ease.

    27. A flat colander for catching all those scraps in the sink. Simply lift up and dump into the trash can. Amazing.

    28. A hand-powered food chopper, because dicing tomatoes can get really sloppy.

    29. A collapsible multipurpose stand to prop open ziplock bags so you don't accidentally scoop some stew onto the floor. It's also great for holding trash bags to collect scraps.

    30. A piggy pot clip (with a flexible opening) that'll hold up your sauce-covered spoon.

    31. A pack of nonstick gas range protectors for keeping the stovetop clean.

    You, singing a happy cleaning song:
