    41 Tools And Gadgets That’ll Make You Want To Spend Way More Time In The Kitchen

    Just think about how much fun you'll have using a guillotine to perfectly chop your bagel 🥯.

    1. A clip-on strainer gadget for any pasta fiends who are tired of trying to locate their colander in the very back of their kitchen cabinet at the very last minute — al dente noodles are at risk here, people!!!

    It also works great for draining excess oil out of deeper pans!

    Promising review: "This strainer is so easy to use. It is easy to put on and take off of pots. This thing is great when you don't have a traditional strainer. It is very easy to clean. It is a very sturdy product" —Mandohawk83

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors).

    2. A handheld knife sharpener that'll bring your most-used kitchen utensils back to life in a flash without destroying your countertop or cutting boards.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Wow! I was going to buy some whet stones to sharpen my knives but I know I’d be too lazy to use them. Then I saw this gadget advertised on BuzzFeed and though I’d try it for the price. It works exactly as stated. It won’t restore knicked blades but it sharpens amazingly good. Knives that I’ve had for years I was able to sharpen and cut with ease." —Amazon Customer

    My colleague loves this lil' guy, saying it "totally ~transformed~ my hodgepodge of a knife collection, and probably saved my clumsy self from lots of close calls with dull knives." Read her full KitchenIQ knife sharpener review.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.50.

    3. An easy-to-use ice cream scoop with a curved shape only a genius could've designed that'll smoothly cut through ice cream and create a picture-perfect scoop time and time again.

    Spring Chef is a small business that sells kitchen tools.

    Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it has some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe. I am so glad TikTok made me buy this!" —MamaKickAsh

    Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 13 colors and a two-pack). 

    4. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — if it could talk it would say "tip me over and pour me ouuuut" like the little teapot rhyme. But really, tip it over like you would an hourglass and grab pickles, olives (or anything else that lives in a liquid) without having to dip your fingers into juice.

    The container flipped so the juice is only at at bottom

    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 $11.65 (also available with add-ons). 

    5. sandwich cutter and sealer that'll make it easier than ever to make Smuckers Uncrustables copycats at home — embrace your love of kid-friendly meals once and for all!

    I took the plunge and ordered this lil' kit and it was SO easy to use. My first attempt (pictured above) took literally two seconds to do. My bread was on the smaller side, but it still produced a perfect crust-less PB&J!

    Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak

    Get it from Amazon for $15.96

    6. A veggie chopper you can use to dice onions in a flash — save your uncontrollable crying for the next time you watch The Notebook. It can also spiralize, slice, and chop!

    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 $29.99 (available in three colors).

    7. Or an electric mini garlic chopper, in case the only thing you find yourself often needing to mince is cloves of garlic. Save time, keep vampires away, you know the drill.

    Promising review: "Finally I can effortlessly chop garlic, shallots, lemongrass, ginger, etc. thanks to this little helper. The design is sleek, elegant. The size is compact and takes up so little space in my kitchen. And what I like most is the cordless design and the rechargeable battery." —Connie Nguyen

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).

    8. A hand-powered chopper that'll have you slicing and dicing in literally seconds. If you can pull the cord on a Woody doll (you know, like from Toy Story) then, congratulations, you can chop an onion!

    Promising review: "This chopper is amazing!! I love cooking, but used to absolutely HATE chopping onions... until someone gave me this chopper! Now I simply have to quarter the onion, throw it in the chopper, pull the handle about 10–15 times, and they're ready to be used! No more teary eyes or spending a long time chopping onions. The cup is big enough to fit a whole onion... I think the capacity is 3 cups. There's tons of other uses to this as well... you can chop pretty much anything from herbs, veggies and fruits, to making salsa and guacamole." —Valjulia

    Get it from Amazon for $18.18+ (available in three colors).

    9. bagel guillotine, because if you're treating yourself to your favorite breakfast (is there anything better than a freshly toasted bagel???) you certainly shouldn't have to struggle to flawlessly cut it in half.

    Promising review: "My boyfriend can’t cut bagels. He literally butchers these poor baby bagels all up. I saw this on a TikTok and I was like 'oh we need that.' So I bought it. And it was a good investment. Now we can enjoy nicely sliced bagels that fit in a toaster and aren’t jagged across. Yay bagel slicer!" —Ci DiPalma

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors).

    10. FryAway — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes.

    Promising review: "This magic powder worked so much better than I expected! I was doing some deep frying in my enamel cast iron pot one night, and when I was done, I poured the powder in the hot oil just as instructed. The stuff dissolved right away and I gave it a quick mix. I ended up putting the lid on and forgetting about it overnight. The next morning it was a solid gel mass. I was expecting it to be the consistency of Jello, but it was actually surprisingly firm! I took a spatula and barely applied pressure to one side to loosen it and the whole entire thing separated in one clean piece without any stray chunks of oil sticking to the pot. Couldn't have been easier! I have always avoided frying like the plague for the sole reason that I don't know what to do with the oil afterwards. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore!" —Sahara

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    11. An instant-read digital thermometer, so you'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. You can grill with confidence!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "As a working chef for over 30 years, I've gone through dozens of thermometers, and this one stands out. I actually purchased this by accident while buying several thermometers to try with the intent of buying a dozen for my crew. I was looking for thermometers that can be field-calibrated and as far as I can tell, this one can't. But I intend to buy more of these because they are accurate, easy to read, and just more pleasant to use. They are tough, and I love the ring on the end; I keep this one hanging on a hook near our ranges so I don't have to hunt it down. It does not ride easily in my chef's coat, but that is due to the longer probe. Which I LOVE. In two weeks I have used this one thermometer over 130 times, all with pleasure." —Cetaceous Dave

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    12. An ever-popular Instant Pot with so many uses you'll need to take a deep breath before deciding what to make with it first. It'll make whipping up dinner so much easier — you won't know why you waited so long to get one!

    The Duo Plus replaces nine common kitchen appliances. It can be used as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, and egg cooker, with the ability to sauté, steam, warm, sterilize...and oh, it makes cakes too. Read all about why the Instant Pot is changing how we cook in our full review of the Instant Pot.

    Promising review: "Perfect addition to the Instant Pot family. This little pot does the same incredible job as its bigger brother and sisters. Great for making the side dishes or smaller main dishes. If you haven't gotten on board the Instant Pot train, do not hesitate! This mini pot even makes yogurt. The benefits to pressure cooking are numerous, using the Instant Pot makes it incredibly easy. Can you tell I'm completely smitten with this little appliance?! It proudly sits on my counter and is used nearly every single day." —Prairie Princess

    Get it from Amazon for $79.99.

    13. A Crack'em egg cracker and spoon rest that'll ensure your scrambled delights will be shell-free every single time — and how cool will you look cracking eggs open single-handedly???

    Check out a TikTok of the egg cracker in action. 

    Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors and in two sizes).

    14. An "Adjust-A-Cup" measuring cup with a plunger dispenser attached to it you can use to accurately measure out liquids, annoyingly sticky substances (honey, peanut butter, etc) and regular ol' powders. It can be adjusted to measure between 1/8 cup to 2 cups as well as teaspoon, tablespoon, ounces, and millimeter measurements.

    Promising review: "You can't beat this for measuring things like honey and molasses. No more wasting what you can't get out of a regular measuring cup and wondering what the effect of all that stuff left behind is on the accuracy of your measuring." —Herman Ross

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50.

    15. A set of gravity-activated grinders to make you feel like you're living in the Year 3000 with the Jonas Brothers each time you season something. No twisting or turning needed — these automatically release freshly ground salt or pepper whenever you tip it over.

    Watch this TikToker use these automatic grinders while cooking here!

    Promising review: "These are really beautiful and add the exact touch of copper I was looking for in my space. When using, the end lights up blue which is very cool gives them a modern feel. They feel heavy and solid, including the clear receptacle that holds the salt/pepper." —Pink Dragon

    Get the set of two from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors as well as a single grinder).

    16. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker you can use to pretend you're Cinderella's Fairy Godmother to turn frozen fruit into a magically delicious dessert.  Reviewers swear it has the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Yuuuum!

    Promising review: "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 $39.98+ (available in five colors). 

    17. A meat tenderizer that'll take your cheap cut of steak from drab to fab — it'll take you no time at all to use this tool and make your meat that much more delectable.

    Reviewer photo of the cheap cut of meat they made into a delicious steak using the tenderizer

    Promising review: "This thing really works great. Takes only seconds to tenderize any kind of meat. I've used on pork, beef, and chicken and the results are these meats cook and taste so much better after being tenderized with this. Many people ask about dishwasher-safe. I have used it for a while and always put it in the dishwasher and it's fine. It's plastic and stainless-steel so I don't think the dishwasher can hurt it." —5280

    Get it from Amazon for $17.49+ (available in two styles and four colors).

    18. A 3-in-1 burger press to transform the way you make your burgers — it's simple to use and will give you the ability to make regular burger patties, sliders, or stuffed burgers. You haven't LIVED if you haven't bitten into a cheese-filled burger, OK!?

    Promising review: "Really well made product. It is sturdy and works great, I foresee this lasting for quite some time. It is very easy to use and can make stuffed burgers as well as regular burgers. I also bought the paper sheets recommended because then I can buy ground beef on sale and shape and freeze my own hamburger patties. It saves quite a bit of money to do it this way as opposed to buying already made ground beef patties, not to mention the taste is sooooo much better!" —deborah

    Get it from Amazon for $10.39.

    19. An air fryer that'll take your home cooked meals to the next level but without all the typical grease you're used to them having. You can whip up things like chicken wings, charred veggies, and even donuts with this fabulous appliance. Don't even get me started on how well it works to re-heat leftovers (buh-bye, soggy microwaved fries).

    Check out my colleague's Instant Pot Air Fryer review and I can basically guarantee you'll want one before you even finish the article.

    Promising review: "After listening to dozens of clients and friends talk about their air fryers, I decided it was time to bite the bullet so to speak. Consumer Reports' rave reviews led me to the Instant Vortex Plus. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ IT! Everything seems to taste better cooked in an air fryer. Even salmon is more moist and flavorful. Plus food cooks more quickly than traditional oven or fryer methods. The Vortex is large capacity so it’s easy to cook two or more types of food at the same time. Do it...you won’t regret it!" —Rosanne Heideman

    Get it from Amazon for $125.99+ (available in two sizes).

    20. A grape cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon.

    Watch a mom quartering grapes in a flash with this tool on TikTok.

    Promising review: "I was stubborn initially and didn’t believe in getting something to cut my kid’s grapes. I would cut them by hand. My friend told me about it and I caved in and bought it. I shouldn’t have been stubborn! I can literally cut more grapes in half the time! If you’re reading this, do not be stubborn, just get it! It will save you time! I even managed to cut blue berries with them!" —Kao

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    21. A ~Guac-Lock~ to help you fight the good fight against brown, unappetizing, leftover guac. This container pushes out the air that causes avocados to oxidize (and turn that yucky color) so you can treat yourself to fancy avocado toast all week instead of just one single morning.

    Gif of hands pushing the lid down to remove the air
    Reviewer photo of their avo toast showing the avocados aren't brown

    Promising review: "I love guacamole, but I'm the only person in my house who will eat it. Making guacamole for one is a waste of time, but making a standard recipe always ended up being a waste of guacamole. Enter the GuacLock. This DISHWASHER-SAFE (!!!!) kitchen gadget truly delivers! To be honest, I was skeptical and didn't expect much. I made guacamole three days ago and have enjoyed it every night since. No gross brown color. No off taste. On day three it was just as fresh as the day it was made. I've shared this product on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat; I feel like all of my friends need to know about this one. If you're actually reading reviews and trying to decide whether or not to add this to your cart. Stop. Just do it! You won't regret this purchase." —Allison Ingle

    Get it from Amazon for $40.19.

    22. And a dishwasher-safe Oxo avocado slicer for anyone who eats avocados constantly. This lil' gadget will help you cut them into perfect pieces without accidentally slicing your hand in the process.

    Promising review: "I’ve owned mine for over three years now and use it regularly at home. The knife is more than sharp enough to cut an avocado in half quickly and easily but not sharp enough to cut skin. I’ve let my 10-year-old granddaughter use it all the time since she was 7. Pitting couldn't be easier or safer: three slightly rounded, blunted, recessed blades grab the pit, and the finger hole allows you to push it out easily. My blades are still fine after three-plus years. Then in one fast easy motion I have seven even slices of avocado ready for my sandwich or salad. I didn’t even need to scrape it out with a spoon." —Tony C

    Get it from Amazon for $11.88.

    23. A spoon holder that'll *put a spell on you* from the moment you put it to work — if you don't have a practical place for a spoon rest this lovely lil' lady will hold onto it for ya and prevent your counters from looking like a potion-gone-wrong.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and just had to get it. It arrived very fast and looks adorable! I have a gas stove with grates, so there is no room for a spoon rest. This takes care of that hassle!" —A Power Mama

    Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in two colors).

    24. An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you'll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it into the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs) then pour the cubes directly into your drink! It's leakproof and dishwasher safe.

    Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business estabished in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen. 

    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 okay 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 $14.99+ (available in five colors).

    25. set of pastel kitchen utensils so you can embrace the growing Barbie Core trend and decorate your kitchen like it's, quite literally, a Dream House. Aside from just being SUPER cute, reviewers have noted that these utensils are great against heat resistance and can be tossed right into the dishwasher for cleaning.

    Check out a TikTok of the utensil set in action. These can withstand temps up to 392°F.

    Promising review: "Really cute set and the quality is good too, so a win-win for me! It is dishwasher-safe. I tried one of the pieces washed in the dishwasher and it came out just fine. For longevity I plan to just hand-wash because I love things in pink! They're heat resistant — I used the spatula to cook bacon and pressed on the pan and nothing bad happened to it. I've had this set for a month now and been using it every day; it still looks as good as new. No burns/melted marks; no discoloration. I have washed it in the dishwasher multiple times and they come out fine. Easy to clean." —Pookie Bear

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors).

    26. A perfect egg timer to take all of the guesswork out of your egg-cooking process. The face on the timer will change colors to indicate how cooked your egg is, so if you're forever dreaming of a runny middle you'll be able to make them perfectly every time.

    Promising review: "This thing is the bomb.com Seriously, buy one. You won't regret it. Works the first time and every time after that. I was slightly concerned when I first got it out the package. The lines that tell you how hard or soft the egg will be cooked were really hard to see. Nothing like the videos I had seen. Never fear, toss it in the pot of water and voila! Easy to see the lines!" —gunmetalgreen

    Get it from Amazon for $8.33.

    27. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that'll ensure your bread stays as fresh as the day it was sliced — it'll also provide you with a satisfying way to dispense one slice at a time. No more sad smushed sandwiches for lunch!

    Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and 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

    31. A round ice cube tray with a lid and bin for anyone without an ice machine — it'll help you make round ice cubes that'll give your drinks a *~fabulous~* aesthetic and comes with a container to store extras in!

    reviewer image of the clear bin and blue round ice cube trays

    Promising review: "I bought this admittedly because I saw it on a TikTok, and my husband happened to mention that same day how he wished we had an ice maker on our fridge. I didn’t have high hopes, but it definitely surprised me. We’ve been using it for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. It’s easy to clean, and the container can hold four trays (maybe more) worth of ice balls. Four is the most we’ve had in it at one time. It’s pretty impossible to mess up. Just pour water in the bottom part of the tray till a little over the fill line then pop the top of the tray on and make sure it snaps down fully. Water will shoot up through the holes so be careful and do it slowly or it will get a little messy. If you don’t push the top part of the tray all the way down then the ice balls will snap in half when you pull it apart later so make sure to press the lid all the way down. My husband loves ice water, and I love iced coffee so this was a hit with us. Not to mention spherical ice just looks cooler." —ASW

    32. Beast countertop blender that'll look gorgeous atop your kitchen counter but *also* become a treasured gadget by your entire family — it's designed to reduce vibrations and noise so anyone can make a smoothie first thing in the morning without worrying about disturbing everyone else.

    Former BuzzFeed writer Brittany Ross loves this blender:

    "I got this blender over the summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an "I don't need a blender" person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!) and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes."

    Promising review: "This toaster has become a must-have in my kitchen. Want a grilled cheese? Throw it in at 350 degrees for eight minutes and come back when the timer is done! Want pizza rolls? 350 for 10 and then they’re done. This thing is so convenient and I love it when a device can do two or more things in one small package. Highly recommend!" —Ryan Chrum

    Promising review: "A great tool to get all the good pineapple without the muss of a machete. Our grandkids loved watching Gramma do the job. Fresh pineapple is so much better than store cut-up fruit. Plus it leaves an empty pineapple to serve cut up fruit or even fruity adult beverages. Don't let the plastic parts fool you. So far it is sturdy. Go have fun!" —Steven Schwartz

    Promising review: "I was just as skeptical as you are. I, too, have been doing the old school — make the dough, roll it out, run it through a pasta machine, etc. — method. It's a production, all for AMAZING pasta. With this, you put the ingredients in, push a button, and watch for AMAZING pasta to be extruded. I had hoped I'd be able to multitask a bit more, but it extrudes so fast there isn't much time for other tasks between cutting it. But I think that seems reasonable. The other thing to consider is that you have to be VERY exact with the measurements of the ingredients. I've found weighing them works best. The recipes in the included book work great. Don't use other pasta recipes not developed for this machine unless you are up for some experimentation. The dough will be drier than the traditional method and has to be to feed through the auger and extrude properly. So it also does take a bit longer to cook than traditional fresh pasta, but when it's done it's that same amazing taste and texture!" —Conversio

    38.

    Promising review: "I love how little space this deodorizer takes up. I’ve had a few different brands and types, but all were fairly bulky. This charged fast, and I love I only need to recharge monthly. My fridge hasn’t smelled once since I’ve started using." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to declutter and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter, and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle

    Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn, and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" —Desiree Barlow
