This Olive Oil Sprayer Levels Up Your Kitchen Game
Want to kick your cooking to the next level? Try this olive oil sprayer which gives you just the right amount of oil when you spritz it on food. I love roasting veggies, but they often turn out way too oily – this is a much better tool to getting exactly the even application they need.
These Spoons Measure Up
Here’s the thing about traditional measuring spoons on a ring: You either have to take them apart to use just one or clean them all after every use. These nesting measuring spoons eliminate that headache. The magnetic design eliminates the aggravating ring scenario and also streamlines clutter in your kitchen cabinets. This six-piece set includes measurements from 1/8 tsp. to 1 tablespoon.
Serve Ice Cream Without the Hassle with This Old-Style Scoop
There are lots of ice cream scoops on the market. Scoops that warm before you use them scoops that are ergonomically designed, but none is as clever as this old-timey stainless steel scoop from Thrifty. Scoop perfect cylinders of this creamy treat with a trigger for no-mess dispensing. One reviewer said: “I love the concept, just push, turn, lift and dispense.”
This Compact Power Strip Is Handy for Travel
With three outlets and three USB ports, this Compact Power Strip is a must-have for travel. It’s made by Anker, a well-respected brand known for high-value, low-cost peripherals. I love that the placement of the ports means large chargers don’t run into each other, so you get access to every port no matter what.
Stack (And Warm) More Dishes with This Microwave Shelf
Who gets to go first in the microwave? Whoever gets there first? Whoever is hungriest? This plate stacker means no more fighting over microwave time or space since it can accommodate two full-sized dinner plates at the same time. Now you can actually eat dinner together instead of one person eating so their food doesn’t get cold while the other is still heating up their meal.
Seal Up Opened Bags With This Mini Bag Sealer
If you’re practicing self-control or can’t finish a bag in one sitting, then you know how easily chips and other foods get stale if not closed correctly. These bag sealers use heat to reseal the bag to keep food fresher longer. Now you won’t have to worry about wasting food when you have a small handful of chips to curb your cravings.
This Veggie Spiralizer Makes Dinner Easy
This is an amazing little veggie spiralizer, and it fits in the palm of your hand! It basically takes up no storage space in your kitchen since it’s collapsible. And it can spiralize in four thicknesses, so it’s handy for lots of veggie types, whether you want zoodles or carrot strips for salads.
Easy Rice, Rice, Baby
Rice is deceptive, isn’t it? It seems so simple, yet so many people struggle with cooking it properly. Cook it too long, and it’s gummy; too short, and it’s still crunchy. This four-piece rice cooker will eliminate all your grain-cooking problems. You can make up to six cups of rice, quinoa, or even oats with this bad boy, which includes everything pictured: The bowl, locking lid, measuring cup, and rice paddle.
Keep Splatters Under Cover
My theory is this: If you keep splatters and spills in your microwave to a minimum, it means fewer times that you have to clean it. Smart, eh? This splatter cover not only contains those splatters and spills but also creates an environment in which your food warms more quickly. It’s large enough to cover an entire dinner plate and can be cleaned easily … if you’re into that sort of thing.
There’s Nothing Corny About This One
The days are getting longer, and the weather is warming up, which can only mean one thing: Sweet corn season is nearly upon us. Steam your ears easily with this corn and potato steamer. I can’t tell you how much time this would save from running water into a pot and then waiting for it to boil to drop your corn in. You can use it to steam other things, too, like carrots or hotdogs.
This Baking Mat With All The Measurement Markings You’ll Need
It’s okay if you can’t eyeball your pie crusts — this baking mat will do all the measuring for you. It’s made from durable silicone that’s heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which means you can use it to line your baking pans instead of sprays or parchment paper. It’s reusable, naturally non-stick, and can even be used to roll out pastries.
This Nail Holder Prevents Major Ouchies
Without fail, whenever I go to hammer in a nail to hang a picture, I end up hitting my fingers. Major ouch. This nail holder prevents those injuries by keeping the nail in place for you, so your fingers stay out of the way.
You’ll Think This Purchase Is Sweet
The best pancake syrup is warm pancake syrup, and if you disagree, you’re wrong. The challenge is that many manufacturers put syrup in bottles that are too tall to fit inside your microwave. This microwaveable syrup warmer doubles as a dispenser that you can plop right on the table at breakfast. You can even use it to store your syrup when you’re finished and trash that too-tall syrup bottle.
This Whole-Meal Microwave Cooker Does It All
If you’re short on storage space, this whole-meal microwave cooker might be your perfect solution. It quickly and fully cooks, steams, roasts, or poaches rice, chicken, steak, eggs, bacon, veggies, pasta, and more in one convenient and compact gadget. No matter what you’re cooking, you can do it quickly and conveniently by pulling out just one tool from your kitchen cabinets.
These Sheet Savers Ensure Even Drying
It’s so annoying when laundry gets tangled up in wet sheets and neither of them dries well. These bedsheet savers help combat exactly that by making it harder for clothing to get trapped inside the sheets and helps everything dry completely up to 75% faster. They’ll also reduce wrinkles in your sheets if having a smooth bed is something you crave.
This Multitool Does It All
This 14-in-1 multitool couldn’t be handier for everyday tasks. It can open a beer, act as a screwdriver, saw through wood, snip branches and cut anything with its sharp knife, among other things. You’ll never want to be without this guy, especially if you’re the outdoorsy type.
Make Your Own Cold Brew With This Coffee Maker
If you’re going to get the frother I mentioned earlier, you’re also going to need this cold brew maker–I don’t make the rules. Making coffee at home has never been easier. It produces a week’s worth of cold brew that you can keep in your fridge and enjoy for a few days. Doesn’t get much easier than that.
Give Your Utensils a Place To Rest
A spoon rest is a must if you do very much cooking. The issue comes in when you have more than one utensil that you need out of your way. With a regular spoon rest, there’s really only room for one utensil. With this silicone utensil rest, you have room for both the spoon you’re using to stir the spaghetti sauce and the strainer that’s handling noodle duty. It’s available in two shades of gray, red, and turquoise.
Become Your Own Barista With This Milk Frother
If you’re like me, then you probably spend more money than you should on coffee. A couple of years ago, I got an espresso machine and instantly became an at-home barista. But it wasn’t until recently that I got this milk frother, which has upped my coffee game. Heat the milk of your choice for a delicious hot latte, or froth your milk for some tasty cold foam cold brew.
Go Hands-Free At Your Next Picnic Or Beach Day With This Bamboo Table
When enjoying a picnic at the park or beach, the last thing you want to worry about is trying to balance your food and drinks. Especially if sand is involved. This bamboo table offers two glass holders for a spill-free outing, while the small table section can double as a cutting board or serve as a table for your cheese and crackers.
This Spreader Lid Cuts Down On Dishes
I swear, we go through a dozen butter knifes a day around here because people are always eating sandwiches and need separate ones for peanut butter, jelly, mayo, or mustard. This spreader lid is a much easier idea, you don’t have to dirty a ton of knives because one’s built right into the lid!
A Hand-Crank/Solar-Powered NOAA Weather Radio
If you only buy one gadget from this list, this radio is the one I recommend. If the power and internet aren’t working, you’ll need a radio so you can hear reports from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This radio can be powered by the sun or turning the crank and also works as a flashlight and phone charger.
This Stuffed Pancake Pan Inspires Delicious Breakfasts
Why settle for ordinary flat pancakes when you could make aebleskivers, Danish pancakes stuffed with fruit, jam, cream cheese, peanut butter, cheese, chocolate, or bacon? All you need is this Stuffed Pancake Pan, which includes a recipe booklet. You can also find lots of videos online for inspiration!
Here’s one 5-star review: “This was my first experience with making aebleskivers–ever! But they not only turned out delicious but actually *looked* pretty too! The pan was super easy to use, simple to clean, and we had a lot of fun.”

It molds to your body to support the butt, legs, and back, all while creating a luxuriously comfortable sitting position. Your posture and comfort levels will dramatically improve; trust me!
“Perc” Up At This Microwave Drink Percolator

Either way, this microwave percolator will let you brew a cup of coffee or tea in a space-saving design. Add your water, grounds (in a filter, duh), and then nuke your way to a cup of liquid courage.
This Electric Grill That Lets You BBQ Indoors
Large enough to fit up to eight burgers, this indoor grill is a must-have if you don’t have space (or money) for a fancy outdoor grill. It’s completely smokeless, so don’t even think about it fogging up your house — and the adjustable heat can even reach temperatures up to 450 degrees!
Clean Up Those Stray Wires With This 10-Foot Cable Sleeve
This cable sleeve is 10 feet long and one inch wide. It’s got a slit in it to allow you to slide your cords inside. Once you’ve done that, the slit closes on itself, hiding the mess in a neat tube. If the size doesn’t fit your needs, there are a lot of other options. 14 to be exact! And you can choose from black, white or a black-and-red pattern.
These Knee Pads Are Like Pillows for Your Knees
Your next yard project can get a whole lot easier with this set of Knee Pads. They feature a soft gel core and foam padding, along with sturdy straps to provide ergonomic support for long stretches of kneeling on the ground.
If You Like Mashed Potatoes, You Need This Potato Ricer
I never used to like mashed potatoes. And truth be told? I still don’t — unless you’re making ’em real good with a potato ricer like this one. What’s the difference? The ricer grinds your spuds into small, rice-sized bits so that your mashed potatoes have a creamy texture that’s lump-free. And with three interchangeable ricing discs, you can also use it to make cauliflower, pierogies, shepherd’s pie, and more.
A Tool That Helps Tenderize Your Meat
Hammering away at your steak will tenderize it, but it’ll also flatten it out — so use this needle tenderizer instead. The 48 needles are made from sharp stainless steel, while the handle is made from tough ABS plastic. And since it’s dishwasher-safe, cleaning up is almost too easy.
Take Your Tortillas’ Temp
Everyone knows when you’re cooking a dish that calls for tortillas, what they really mean is warmed tortillas. This tortilla warmer will tackle one part of your kitchen prep so you can focus on dicing peppers or sprinkling cheese, and it looks just like the authentic warmers they use in your favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. It can also warm other delicacies like pancakes or waffles.
These Classy Coffee Mugs Transition From Home To Office
How many Starbucks runs do you make in a week? One? Two? Seven or more? You don’t have to admit it to me. But, if you’re trying to save a little money, consider one of these cute and classy glass travel mugs. The lid has a quick-flip opening so you can drink and drive (not that kind of “drink and drive,” please) and a silicone sleeve to protect your fingers from a too-hot glass.
These Cutting Boards Are Color Coded
I read it’s safer to have different cutting boards for meat, veggies, etc, so I got this set of four flexible ones that are color-coded. Simply assign a color to a certain food – for example, yellow is for chicken, green for veggies. These are so easy to clean, too, and they take up virtually no storage room, unlike their bulky, unwieldy cousins.
A Dog-Gone Good Microwave Gadget
I could not pass on adding this hotdog cooker to this list of ingenious gadgets. Get this: It cooks the hotdog and perfectly steams the bun — at the same time — in under 60 seconds. Insert your dog, put the bun on top and then affix the included lid. Hotdog craving = crushed.
These Flexible Ice Molds Have So Many Uses
I know what you’re thinking: “Hey, these are just ice cube trays.” Well, yes and no. They are indeed ice cube trays, but the uses here are endless, thanks to the silicone bottom that allows you to pop one out at a time. You can use these to save coffee, freeze herbs or store homemade baby food. When it’s time to clean them, simply pop them in the dishwasher.
A Gadget That Peels Veggies For You
Just load up this automatic peeler with any potato, zucchini, carrot, or what-have-you, and it’ll peel the skin for you while you sit back and watch. One-touch operation makes it incredibly easy to use, even if you’re a total dingus when it comes to electronics — and reviewers loved how much time it saves them in the kitchen.
