1. A veggie chopper so you can dice up an onion without fear of losing a digit. Yes, I've watched Gordon Ramsay YouTube explainers on how to do it with a knife, but there's a disconnect between my head and my hand, okay??
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of their veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "This is the best of its kind. It cuts great and is very sturdy — I had been using a lesser model. I even cubed chicken breasts today plus cauliflower, onions, and more. I was a chef for 30 years and I love this so much I had to review straight away!" —david fasnacht
Get it from Amazon for $23.95 (available in three colors).
2. An air fryer if you manage to under or over cook your entree every dang time you use your oven. If you thought these things were only for French fries or chicken nuggies, think again. You can crisp up fresh asparagus, cook salmon to flaky perfection, and even bake a GD lemon Bundt cake if you so wish!
Promising review: "I'm a chef and I LOVE this thing! It's way better than the Ninja. It holds more food and also has different ways of cooking. It's basically an air fryer and mini convection oven in one. Everyone complaining about the smell or loudness are just being silly. Neither of these things are THAT bad. I live with my fiancee and since it's just the two of us, we don't make too much food at a time so the Instant Vortex Plus has mostly replaced our actual oven. I've used it almost every day since we got it. Works like a charm. Two thumbs up. 👍👍" —Cody B.
Get the 6-in-1 6-quart size from Amazon for $129.95 (available in three styles and two sizes)
3. And a set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets you can affix to your fridge and then quickly crosscheck when you're in the middle of making chicken fingers. That way, you don't have to wash all the eggs and bread crumbs off your hands and fumble with your phone to pull up Google.
The set comes with two different-size magnets. See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I thought it over a few times, and then I bought these so I could have a quick reference handy for those times I wanted to make something in my air fryer, which is quite a bit. What surprised me is how often I refer to it. I just throw something in my air fryer, glance at the section that lists the item I’m cooking. Press a few buttons on my fryer, and I’m in business. No more having to search on my phone with wet fingers. A frivolous buy that turned out to be worthwhile." —PickyExtra
Get it from Amazon for $7.95+ (also in two colors and Spanish language).
4. A dishwasher-safe silicone soup cube tray because you're a Soup Person through and through but you also live alone and can't possibly eat it all at once.
Souper Cubes is a small business!
Promising review: "I'm extremely happy with my Souper Cubes! I cook chili and soup and always make too much, having the ability to freeze serving-size portions is perfect. Saves time and food quality by not having to thaw it all each time I want another serving. High quality and since it's silicone and not rigid plastic it won't crack in the freezer. Highly recommend!" —Alexander S. Waterman
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
5. Modular sheet pan dividers so you can make a one-pan meal without overcooking any of the elements. Sick of burning your summer squash while you wait for your Brussels sprouts to finish? Well now you can pull 'em out as soon as they're done without worrying about shuffling multiple hot pans.
Prep'd, the small biz that created these handy dividers, was founded in 2015 by two industrial engineers who believed cooking should be simple, easy, and ultimately fun.
Promising review: "These are great for so many reasons. We're in a mixed gluten household (one person has celiac and is diabetic, but we are not all doing a gluten-free diet). We can portion control for carb counting and separate out gluten-free vs. none on one pan. Plus, cleanup is just throwing in the dishwasher!" —J Fans
Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99.
6. A nylon chopper perfect for breaking up ground meat, frozen veggies, eggs, and more. If you're a fan of tacos, Philly cheesesteaks, or smash burgers (~chef's kiss to Shake Shack~), this baby will come in clutch.
The tool is safe to use with nonstick cookware and you can throw it in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
Promising review: "I am a semi-professional chef and do not go for 'gadgets' like this. My mother bought it and I thought it was another piece of junk to add to the junk drawer. Well, it's perfect for breaking up chopped meat in the frying pan for tacos or pasta sauce, you can break up Italian sausage while you cook it, I have mashed potatoes, turnips, and squash with it and even gotten biscuit dough almost completely ready to go using this little gem. I bought my brother in law one who uses it to make his chili! Love, love, love it!" —bette's daughter
Get it from Amazon for $8.39+ (available in three colors).
7. A snap-on silicone strainer that easily attaches to the side of your pot so you don't have to make room in your sink for a colander and then inevitably splash yourself with ~boiling~ hot water when you haphazardly dump your cavatappi.
Promising review: "This is a real convenient timesaver. Not only do I have one less thing to wash after dinner, but the convenience of being able to simply snap this on to any pot is great! The mounting clips are robust and hold like crazy. The product works exactly as described and has made my pasta nights a breeze. I am a chef, so I use this almost every day and I highly recommend this attachment. Great invention!" —Captain HC
Get it from Amazon for $12.45+ (available in three colors).
8. A set of "floating" kitchen knives in an acrylic case if one of the ways you know you'll be able to "trick" yourself into cooking more is by outfitting your kitchen with aesthetic equipment.
Promising review: "I got these as a gift for my brother who is a chef. He was impressed with the quality and the look of the knives. He immediately started slicing and dicing tomatoes and was admiring them on the counter for a while 😂 11/10 would recommend! PS: the black style is so cool — they look like they are floating above the counter." —Wyatt Bashinski
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sets of 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, and 20 and in four finishes).
9. A conveniently compact 8-in-1 spiralizer for spiralizing (duh), juicing, grating, shredding, and more. No need to search your kitchen for multiple gadgets when everything you need can be done with just one.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this gadget:
"I recently purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my apartment is the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too — I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!), super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe."
Promising review: "LOVE THIS. I absolutely love this. So far I've used the thicker spiralizer, two of the grater things, and then the juicer. I love how easy this makes keeping everything together. And it's sharp so it actually cuts through things without you needing to work super hard to do it. The only thing I don't love is that the spiralizers are a bit hard to clean, but I guess that's with all of them? Not sure because this is the first I've owned. But, overall I'd recommend it :)" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.39.
10. An oil mister so you can perfectly spritz all of your one-pan meals. This way, you don't have to toss everything by hand and get covered in hard-to-clean (not to mention expensive...) EVOO.
Promising review: "This is a great item for lightly spraying salads, roasting vegetables, or adding some oil to a prepared plate of pasta. Avoids using more oil than necessary so that’s a savings right there. I also use it to put a light coating of oil on all my cast iron cookware to prevent rust. Best of all, it looks great on the dinner table. Lots of uses which really makes it an asset in the kitchen. It seems that it should last a while so I think it is worth the few bucks spent." —Clancy
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
11. A Thaw Claw because being an adult with a 9-5 has made you realize why mom got SO mad when you forgot to take chicken out of the freezer after school.... (sorry, mom!). With this, you can weigh down your meat in the sink and thaw it out seven times faster than if you left it on the counter.
Promising review: "I am a stickler for properly defrosting meat after working in food service for years and this makes that process super easy and surprisingly quick! I've even convinced my father — a retired rocket scientist — that this is the best way to defrost." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in four colors).
12. A versatile Our Place Dream Cooker that can slow cook, sear, saute, and pressure cook all of the hearty recipes you've been waiting for winter to whip up. Mac 'n' cheese ✅ Beef stew ✅ Loaded baked potato soup ✅ Try finding a dish it can't handle...I'll wait.
What's included: Dream Cooker, cooker base, locking lid, inner cooking pot, condensation collector, and detachable power cord.
Get it from Our Place for $250 (available in four colors).
13. A set of seven nesting bowls so you have plenty of options when it comes to your mise en place.
Get the set from our Goodful shop for $60 (originally $80; available in four color combinations).
14. A versatile electric pasta maker if you watched Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy and are now determined to recreate the regional cuisine all on your own.
Promising review: "This pasta machine is very user friendly. I was making delicious pasta 15 minutes after unpacking and washing the components. It comes with three dies to get you started, but I purchased extras just to increase variety. I gave the machine a 4 out of 5 stars for cleaning only because it's cumbersome to clean the dough out of the spaghetti/angel hair dies (any machine would be the same, though, and I'm impatient!). I would highly recommend this pasta machine. It is fully worth the investment — and the pasta tastes amazing!!" —Lisa Zehr
Get it from Amazon for $169.71+ (available in white and black).
15. An aluminized steel sheet pan you can use to bake or roast basically anything you can imagine. Chefs swear by them not just for how evenly they cook, but how exceptionally easy they are to clean.
Promising review: "This pan is a must-have. I'm a chef and when I cook at home cleanup is important. This pan is so easy to clean. You can cook so many items. A normal sheet pan is way thinner and very hard to clean. I've cooked bacon, vegetables, burgers, meatloaf and all came out excellent." —donald puopolo jr.
Get it from Amazon for $23.97+ (available individually or in a set of two).
16. A measuring cup made specifically for semi-solid ingredients like peanut butter, honey, shortening, and brown sugar. This way, you'll get every last bit into your bowl instead of all over your fingers.
I have one of these and I love it SO much. It makes measuring PB particularly easy and once it's all in there, you just push the bottom up and everything comes out. This way, I don't have to use three spoons and a spatula to measure a single ingredient. It can measure regular wet and dry ingredients, too, but it really comes in clutch for the sticky stuff.
Promising review: "Saw Alton Brown using one of these to make peanut butter cookies and I had to have one. I've used it for PB, coconut oil, and sour cream so far, and it's great. Pop it apart and throw it in the dishwasher. No more scooping gooey ingredients into a measuring cup and then scooping them back out; just scoop them in and pop them out, scape with your spatula and it's done. Love it." —Laura Marks
Get it from Amazon for $17.05.
17. A Carraway cookware set that not only comes with every pot and pan one could need, but storage solutions in the form of magnetic racks and a canvas lid holder — bc let's be real, locating the pan you need/being able to put it away once you're done is half the cooking-at-home battle.
What's included: A fry pan, sauce pan with lid, sauté pan with lid, Dutch oven with lid, modular pan rack, and three-slot canvas lid holder.
Promising review: "This cookware set checked every box for me. From the satisfying unboxing to the easy storage and easy cleanup this was worth every penny. I love the magnetic storage system that comes with it. The hanging lid storage is also a genius method of storing pot and pan lids. Cooking with this set is everything you'd expect. You can feel the quality of these pans just by holding them. A lot of products claim nonstick but this is the best nonstick pot or pan I've used. They heat up evenly and are clean after just a quick rinse under the sink. I highly recommend!" —AZ
Get the 12-piece set from Amazon for $355.50+ (available in six colors).
18. An automatic spice grinder so you can top off every dish with a bit of spice and in the most ✨extra✨ fashion imaginable.
BTW — this grinder is battery-operated, so make sure to get a few AA batteries, too!
Promising reviews: "I am a retired executive chef of over 40 years and I mentioned to my daughter that I wanted a new GOOD quality peppermill (that does not mean expensive). She did a great job picking one out for me. I do not write many reviews and never do until I have had the product and used it for several months. I am very pleased with it and love that I can have several different spices, peppers, and salts in their own pods with a very simple push of a button to change from one to another." —Bridgit Judson
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in six colors; comes with grinder and two interchangeable pods).
19. A wooden cutting board (with a pour spout for easy cleanup) if you're really hard on your kitchen prods. I've decided it's not only the most stylish way to go, but also the most cost-effective because it won't melt or snap!
Promising reviews: "This cutting board looks so nice I keep it on my counter all the time. Handy and sturdy. I like that one side has a grooved border that catches any juices from meat or poultry that's resting before carving. I'm very happy with this purchase!" —Joseph G.
"I already own these amazing cutting boards and just bought one for each of my daughters. The slot for your phone is genius, they are very generously sized, and easy to clean and maintain." —Kathy H
Get it from Food52 for $20+ (originally $30+; available in five sizes and styles).
20. A Lodge cast-iron skillet that'll help you achieve a delicious sear and crust you won't get from a regular nonstick skillet. It'll just get better the more you use it and is basically indestructible so you can even pass it on to your kids...and they can leave it to theirs.
Promising review: "As a professional chef in the industry for 20 years now, I have my own list of brands I seek out. When it comes to cast-iron, Lodge is a brand I know is going to be good. When it came to the price, I couldn't click 'buy' fast enough. This has become my go-to pan at home any time I am working with meat; be it a burger patty or a large piece of meat I am searing off for braising in the slow cooker. This is a pan I know i will have for the next 20–30 years." —Mike
Get it from Amazon for $7.59+ (available in seven sizes).
21. A large Cuisinart food processor you can use to whip up hummus, salsa, guac, or whatever other dip you're really into at the moment. The posibilities are endless!
If you're wondering whether it's worth shelling out money for this bad boy, keep in mind it has a whopping 14-cup capacity. It also comes with a standard stainless steel slicing disc, a medium shredding disc, a chopping/mixing blade, and a spatula. All included parts are dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I am a private chef and use this to make dough and sauces and whatnot and it's never failed me even though I take it in my car all the time. I've used more expensive ones and cheaper ones and if you're a home cook, this is perfect. Usually the cheaper ones leak and aren't great, and honestly the more expensive ones are great but it's not worth it if it's not for your job/career. If you cook at home or have a side cooking business then this one is perfect. Gets the job done better than the cheap ones and won't break the bank like the more expensive ones." —Lauraaa
Get it from Amazon for $239.11+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).
22. A pair of herb scissors if you just don't have the patience to finely dice your scallions when there's chicken fried rice to be eaten.
The scissors have five blades which do the work of 10 knives! They also come with a cleaning comb which makes it easy to get out every last bit of your herbs.
Promising review: "We use HelloFresh which has a lot of meals with scallions. My uniform knife cutting skills are sketchy at best and I just knew there had to be a gadget out there that would make things easier. These herb shears are awesome! They make my life much easier. They are just like the description says, easy to use, easy to clean, and so far seem pretty durable." —Mike Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors).
23. A 3-in-1 Cuisinart burger press so you can craft a picture-perfect Juicy Lucy 🍔 (thanks for the education, Top Chef: Kentucky) right at home.
24. An iconic Le Creuset Dutch oven which one reviewer calls "the Bentley of cookware" and I'm not about to dispute that...
Promising review: "I love this Dutch oven. I got the 7.25-quart size for four people, and it has been an irreplaceable pot for soups and stews and coconut chicken adobo. I have also used this to bake bread, too, and it worked well. I have had to stop myself from buying even more!" —Austin
Get it from Amazon for $249.95+ (available in seven sizes and 14 colors) or Le Creuset for $249.99+ (available in seven sizes and 27 colors).
25. A bench scraper that'll come in handy when you're prepping bread dough, gathering chopped onions to throw in a pan, or simply cleaning off your counter after trying your hand at a particularly messy recipe.
Promising review: “Makes you feel like a real chef! This is probably one of my most unnecessary-but-necessary purchases, and I’m so glad I made it after dropping and spilling so many things on the counter after chopping while trying to transfer to another surface. It does what it’s supposed to do, it’s sturdy, the top is grippy, and you can feel like a real chef who knows what they’re doing in the kitchen. The agave blue is a deep turquoise/green-blue color and matches the other agave blue items in the Rachael Ray collections.” —Caitlin
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors)
26. A mini essentials kit from Brightland. It comes with two EVOOs and two fruit-forward vinegars so you can dip your breads and dress your salads with something that makes you feel Lisa Vanderpump-level fancyyyyy.
Brightland is a WOC–owned small biz, from Aishwarya Iyer, that sources its olives from a family-run farm in California.
What's included:
Awake — a bold and robust cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil.
Alive — a smooth and grassy cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil.
Rapture — a raw Balsamic vinegar that is double fermented with California zinfandel grapes and ripe Triple Crown blackberries.
Parasol — a raw Champagne vinegar that is double fermented with California chardonnay grapes and juicy Navel and Valencia oranges.
Promising review: "The oils taste so GOOD — really fresh and light. I love that they add so much flavor to every dish making me a chef at home!" —Barbiana L.
Get it from Brightland for $112 (originally $118).
27. A Dracula garlic mincer because garlic powder simply doesn't compare to freshly minced garlic when you're whipping up an Italian feast.
PS: You can also use it for ginger!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from "good friend" to "best friend," but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
28. A rapid egg cooker that's simple, quick, and consistent when it comes to making soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs. Let's be real, if I had to go through the trouble of making them the old-fashioned way, I'd probably just pull out a Toaster Strudel instead.
The 1-pound appliance has room for six eggs and an auto-shutoff function which prevents overcooking.
Promising review: "I love hard-boiled eggs for protein, especially when I’m on the go as a student/worker, but it’s hard to wait for the water to boil then put In the eggs and get ready all at the same time. This cooker is amazing!! Saves me time, it’s quick and I don’t have to watch it while it cooks — I can go get ready and then I hear a loud buzzer notifying me when the eggs are done! (The buzzer is really loud; sounds like a basketball game buzzer.) I was surprised how fast the eggs cooked." —OnAJourney
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in eight colors).
Want to know a lil' more? Read through our full review of the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker.
29. A panini press because you're always jonesing for a tomato, mozzarella, and pesto sandwich but you don't want to wait 30 minutes for one to arrive via DoorDash only to be cold (*especially* not for $20+...)
30. A set of Anyday microwaveable cooking essentials if — you're being honest with yourself — you know the only way you're gonna make a home-cooked meal is if you can zap it into existence. As an added bonus, you can use the dishes to store leftovers and then reheat them again when you're ready for seconds!
What's included: Large deep dish, large shallow dish, medium deep dish, medium shallow dish, and two small dishes.
Anyday is a small, modern cookware brand from Steph Chen. If you need some inspiration, check out Anyday's dish ideas which include recipes from the likes of David Chang and Joshua McFadden!
Promising review: "Giving 5 stars does not do this dish justice; it needs five billion stars! This has to be the BEST product I have every purchased in my life. Since I do not have access to a stove or oven, these dishes have allowed me to 'cook' chicken, salmon, tilapia, shrimp, pork chops, and vegetables with just a microwave! Freaking genius!! Thank you Anyday for this beautiful ray of sunshine you have bestowed upon my life." —SR
Get it from Anyday for $170 (originally $200; available in three colors).
31. A low-maintenance countertop garden that is seriously a foolproof way for you to grow your own produce. This way, you never have to drop $6 on a tiny bunch of basil again — especially when you only need one leaf to top off your dish!
This kit comes with a six seed pods (Genovese Basil, Curly Parsley, Dill, Thyme, Thai Basil, and mint) a 3-oz bottle of our patented, all natural plant nutrients (enough for a full season of growth). There's no soil, no loose seeds, no needing to move it in/out of direct sunlight, etc., etc. They'll literally just plug it in, pop in the pods, give everything an initial spritz, and watch it get to work!
Promising review: "Easy to set up, easy to grow, easy to maintain. Our 8-year-old has taken over the growing and monitoring and he loves it! Sprouts start showing in just a few days. Highly recommend for kids. Ordering a second device so we can grow lettuce and herbs at the same time." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in three colors).
32. A four-slice retro toaster with enough room to crisp sizable, NYC-style bagels — no smushing necessary.
I've been using this toaster for 3+ years now and can attest to it's bagel-making capabilities 😇 It's also very quiet when your toast/bagel/Pop Tart finishes, so it won't startle you like that scene where Buddy the Elf is testing jack-in-the-box toys.
Promising review: "Is it possible... a toaster can be... this sexy? Yes. Absolutely yes. Pros: Four slots and they are the wide and long type meaning those fancier breads fit without squishing the sides of your slice. It has a bagel setting, as well as a nifty reheat button so your toast doesn't get burnt or overly crispy if you aren't hovering over it and miss it pop up and have to retoast it. The knobs have a neat texture and are adjustable so you can time it just right for Pop-Tarts, toast, or toasted sandwich bread. Cons: My husband is a little jealous of how much I love this toaster, and has been asking me if it is better than him." —Alice R.
Get it from Amazon for $49.50+ (available in three colors).
33. A breakfast sandwich maker that simultaneously cooks your egg, toasts your bread, warms precooked meat, and melts cheese so you can slap together the ultimate breakfast sammie without having to wait in line at Dunkin' and risk being 20 minutes late for work (...again).
Promising review: "I am actually excited for my weekday breakfast now. These homemade McMuffins are so good! My favorite version uses sliced tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and precooked bacon (from Costco). So many options, so easy! My kindergartener and my teenager both love it. I may have to buy another one for our family. It's also easy to clean with a quick wipe-down." —Joolie
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
34. Or a super easy-to-use egg bite maker so you can make lil' egg bebes that adhere to your keto/paleo/gluten free/vegetarian lifestyle and *don't* cost $9 (plus the gas to get you to the drive thru).
Psst — a lot of folks also use these for pancake and protein pancake bites, too!
Promising review: "I bought this in hopes to make egg bites similar to Starbucks and I have not been disappointed. I chose this one after reading reviews on the smaller four-bite size. I have used it multiple times and have had excellent results each time. I followed the recipe in the booklet and used a tip from another reviewer that suggested to triple the cottage cheese amount. It’s very easy to use and clean." —April124
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in three colors).
35. A vented microwave food cover that'll prevent spills, splatters, and small explosions (it happens to the best of us). The BPA-free perforated lid allows steam to escape (AKA no gross sheen of condensation) and when you're done, it collapses down to less than an inch in height for easy storage.
Promising review: "This is my third one. One was melted on the stove burner recently by someone I seem to have married who doesn't know fire is hot yet. The other lasted through five years of heavy use. It did get pitted along the inside here and there; I don't know from what, but I suspect the aforementioned person. This folds absolutely flat and can be used as is or partially opened for a thinner cover to put over a bowl, say. Not difficult to clean since things don't really stick to it but if you have a mess it just takes a small second to make sure the folds end holes are all clean. This is also great for making microwave popcorn, putting corn in bowl and using this to allow air flow. It will raise up as popcorn pops and fills bowl. another neat gift to give someone since it's a handy gadget that saves space and something you'd use a lot." —Ms. Windermere
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors and sizes).
36. An Oxo Good Grips veggie brush because it's time to admit that giving your potatoes a "quick rinse" isn't really doing anything other than appeasing your guilty conscience.
Promising review: "I know — it is a little strange to love a veggie brush but the bristles have just the right stiffness and 'give' to clean potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc. I haven't used it on corn-on-the-cob yet but I think it will do quite well without damaging the kernels. (If not, I'll do a follow-up on this review.) As with most Oxo products, it is ergonomically designed and even fits in my smaller, chunky hands — so much so, I believe it would be good tool for arthritic cooks." —D. Lofthus
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
37. A pancake batter bottle if you (or your partner or kiddos) go through hotcakes like nothin'. Now, you can make a whole stack in minutes.
The bottle isn't just for dispensing, either. It also has a whisk ball in the bottom so you can mix up your batter with just a few shakes.
Promising review: "This thing makes pancakes a breeze! The batter mixes really fast in this bottle and it makes pouring the batter on the griddle super easy. I make pancakes at least once a week so this is a great addition to my kitchen tools." —LBND
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
38. An all-in-one measuring cup that not only frees up space in your cupboard, but saves you from having to do any tricky fraction or decimal conversions. Look, for a long time, I only had a 2/3-cup measuring cup and my English major self was in a *world* of hurt.
It's dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Measurements include: 1 cup, ½ cup, 1/3 cup, ¼ cup, 2 tbsp, 1 tbsp, ½ tbp, 1 tsp, ½ tsp, ¼ tsp, 120 ml, 80 ml, 60 ml, 30 ml, 15 ml, 7.5 ml, 5 ml, 2.5 ml, 1.25 ml.
Promising review: "First of all, I gotta say I don’t cook much and if there’s something I hate after cooking is having to wash all the bunch of utensils I have to use 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 for 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 cooks or bakes in a regular basis." —Daniel Matajira
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
39. A set of durable fridge liners which not only keep Tupperware condensation and takeout leaks to a minimum, but prolong the life of your fruits and veggies so you can stick to the meal plan you drafted up. Cut the sheets to the size of your perishables bin and they'll absorb excess moisture.
40. And some reusable food huggers because sometimes, a splash of lemon (or acid, as the MasterChef judges would say) is all you need but you don't want to waste perfectly good produce.
Promising review: "I bought these because I got tired of throwing away plastic bags or plastic wrap for halves of lemons and lime. I wish I had found these sooner! They work great and are perfect for storing halves of citrus." –Cheryl Wood
Get the set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two color combos).
