Promising review: "This little gadget is perfect for food prep of small items. I used it for strawberries, grapes, black olives, and mushrooms so far, and it works perfectly. Clean easily and easy to store in a handy place for quick use. I highly recommend this cutter. I even bought two more as gifts." —avid reader

Promising review: "This egg cooker is very easy to use and saves a lot of time. The eggs come out perfectly cooked every time, whether soft, medium, or hard-boiled. It’s compact, heats up quickly, and is great for busy mornings. Cleaning is simple, and it doesn’t take up much space. Definitely a convenient kitchen tool that I use often." —Kiuneisy conyedo

Promising review: "I will never use a manual crank/turn can opener again if I can help it. This thing is amazing. It saves time…just mount it on top of the can and let it do its thing while you’re doing the next thing. No more jack edge metal can tops. I had to buy one for my work wife and now I need one for our work kitchen. We are can opener snobs now!" —PeaBird

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "I've been loving my Instant Pots, but was always leafing through the booklets or searching online for the cook time info. Now that I have these magnets, the info is at a glance (what a time saver!). They also give the cook time info for everything from frozen. I got mine in black and find them very easy to read. They've already come in so handy to have on my fridge. If you're into Instant Pot-style pressure cooking, you won't regret buying these!" —JP

Promising review: "As a busy sports mom whose day doesn’t end after work, this has been a total game changer! I used to think air fryers were only for unhealthy fried foods — but that couldn’t be further from the truth. From crispy veggies to quickly cooked chicken, everything is ready in minutes without spending extra time at the stove. It makes it so much easier to get the kids fed and out the door to practice—sometimes we’re even eating on the way or at the field. I highly recommend adding this to your cooking routine!" —Savvy

Get it from Walmart for $52.50+ (available in 13 colors). 

Promising review: "These pan scrapers are one of those small kitchen tools that end up being more useful than expected. They do a great job removing stuck-on food without scratching my cast iron or other cookware, which is exactly what I wanted. They’re sturdy enough to handle tougher messes but still gentle on the surface.

I also like that this set comes with several scrapers, so it’s easy to keep one in different spots or have backups on hand. The different edges and angles help get into corners and along curved surfaces much better than a regular sponge.They’re easy to rinse off, easy to store, and make cleanup faster and less frustrating. Overall, this is a simple but very practical purchase, especially if you use cast iron regularly." —Loosearrow

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five colors). 

Promising review: "This chicken shredder works so well! It makes shredding chicken super quick and effortless. The 10” size is perfect and holds a good amount without making a mess. I love that it’s BPA-free and feels sturdy and food-safe. The twist mechanism is smooth and saves so much time compared to using forks. Cleanup is easy too. Definitely a great kitchen tool I should have had years ago." —Janaya

Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "I use a lot of curly parsley. A lot. This has saved me a lot of time and gives me a finer cut than I usually bother with. I really appreciate finally having herb scissors." —katiego

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in black). 

Promising review: "Best garlic press ever!! Not hard to press garlic and it comes out great and doesn’t break. I really had to press hard to get the garlic out, but this is so sturdy and easy. So time saving when you want quick minced garlic" —Mommychef

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 13 finishes and two sizes). 

Promising review: "THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!!!! Cleaning my microwave was always a pain in the butt. This thing made it a breeze! I couldn’t believe how clean it got, and how easily everything wiped away! I admittedly bought this out of curiosity, and the price was right for it. I didn’t expect it to work as awesome as it did!" —Daniel McCaughtry

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in five colors).  

Promising review: "I bought one of these, which arrived quickly. Used for a week, then bought one for each of my kids, grandkids who were on their own, and told my sister who did the same for her kids!!! Silicone, so stay put on your counter. One spoon rest for many spoons instead of having to work around several spoon rests while cooking and always using the wrong spoon rest!!! Clean up is easy, just put in your dishwasher!! It’s one of those kitchen tools that saves time, space and cleanup as well as your sanity while cooking several dishes!!! A great find for sure!!" —Peggy J. Simmons

Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in 16 colors).

Promising review: "This slow cooker saved me. I’ve always had trouble cooking for myself because I don’t like making too many dishes, but this slow cooker is so easy to clean and versatile that I’ve been cooking nonstop. It takes minimal time to create amazing meals with so little mess. I can’t believe I didn’t get it ages ago!" —Arielle Edelheit

Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 

Promising review: "Get these. Perfect fit on a sheet pan. They save me tons of cleanup time and work. You can roast things like potatoes, veg, and sheet pan meals all day long, and your pan will stay easy to clean. Never soak a sheet pan again. A quick rinse, and I throw these silicone mats straight into the bottom rack of the dishwasher after dinner. Everyone who bakes or roasts on a sheet pan needs these. Great gift for someone who loves cooking but hates cleanup." —KitchenQueen

Get it from Amazon for $9.44 for a pack of two. 

Promising review: "This soap is amazing. You just spray it on, wipe, and rinse. It cuts through grease really well and saves a lot of time at the sink. I use it for everything!" —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $4.94+ (also available in a pack of six). 

Promising review: "I had been searching for a good bread maker that made sourdough bread perfectly. I had tried five different types of bread makers, none of which succeeded. Then I tried this one from Cuisinart and I absolutely love it. It has the perfect shape, even the recipes that came with it are great, it saves me a lot of time from having to roll out the dough and make the bread by hand, it's easy to clean, and it mixes beautifully." —Patti

Promising review: "I use it for making white sauce, which is one step in some multi-dish meals I make, such as Brazilian lasagna and lutefisk. For both of these meals, I have many pots going for one meal, and it is challenging to have to constantly stir a white sauce so it doesn't lump. With this tool, I turn it on, and it stirs the white sauce while I prepare the other items. The automatic pan stirrer slows down when the sauce gets too thick, which is perfect for letting me know that I need to add more milk." —Ann on the lake

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $30+ (also available in a rechargeable option). 

Promising review: "I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! Be careful and read the instructions carefully, as you must leave the top off while cooking it. There are lines to indicate how much water to put in the cooker versus the amount of pasta you intend to cook. The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when the instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the pot of water, and it works very well. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" —Tania

Promising review: "Does exactly what it says it does. It's thin and flexible. Easy to clean and protects my oven, so I don't have to scrub to clean it. You can easily cut to fit the size of your oven. Worth it for us bakers and cooks!" —R.E.

Promising review: "Love this immersion blender — I love the full stainless steel of the attachment on this one. The openings in the casing around the blade allow for enough air and food to pass in and out, so you don’t create suction at the bottom of the container when using it. It purées quickly and smoothly. The motor is strong and works perfectly. I love the weight of it. It’s enough to feel substantial but not too heavy to easily use. The blade arm is easy to detach and clean – I just rinse it and toss it in the dishwasher. I have already used it to blend hot and cold items and haven’t had a single issue. I love it." —BritneyW

Promising review: "Works great! Nice having all my veggies chopped quickly and the same size! Makes prepping quick and easy. I have put in the top rack of the dishwasher for quick cleanup, but usually handwash." —Lizzy Kae

Price: $24.99+ (available in four sizes and up to three colors)

Promising review: "I purchased this whisk a few months back because I loved the fact that it twists in and out to lay flat in my drawer for space saving. I love that you can use it flat or twist it into a round whisk. It lies flat in the drawer or on the top utensil tray in my dishwasher. Super easy to use, store, and clean. The handle is comfortable to use, and I love the color. Highly recommend." —Mary Beth

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors and in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I was so delighted to find this product. I just couldn't get the odor out of my disposal, no matter what I did. This stuff works fast and really cleans out your disposal super well, and it smells really nice too. You can't go wrong. I just love it, and I'm glad I found it." —Kate42

Promising review: "This scale with a built-in cup is the best thing for my baking tools. No more whipping out 1,000,000 cups. Also, [rather than] always trying to figure out grams or cups, now I just press a button, and it tells me I love this." —Corin lonigro

Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Souper cubes are a godsend! I am a busy mom, work full-time, and am in grad school. Even without all of that, these little pieces of kitchen equipment are worth every penny. I have numerous serving sizes, and all have held up for a few years now with no signs of wear or tear. They are freezer- and dishwasher-safe." —Katie O'Connor

Promising review: "Best thing I have ever purchased! The color and bowl size are perfect. I have never baked so much; it makes baking such a breeze! They are expensive but in my experience definitely worth the price!!" —Jocelyn Sweeney

Get it from Amazon for $379.95 (available in 22 colors). 

Promising review: "Great product! Don't know what we did without this. Such a simple idea, but it's so convenient and handy. Whatever needs to be reheated gets this cover put on it, and the microwave stays so much cleaner. It washes up nicely in the dishwasher top rack or in the sink." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "So easy to use. Just put it in your machine and push clean, it will work. Quickly and remove scale and clean efficiently in minutes, then just run clean water through, and you're done. Very happy." —Lola Franco
