1. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker so you can magically transform frozen fruit into the dreamiest dessert. Reviewers swear it has the texture of ice cream or sorbet. And it's great for folks who have dietary restrictions. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 $41.99 (available in four colors).

2. An easily washable drip catcher to prevent the counter space between the back of your faucet and the wall from turning into a puddle after you wash the dishes. This absorbent mat sits snugly around your faucet so the back section of your sink area stays dry.

Hustle & Sew / Etsy

Hustle & Sew is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.

Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina

Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).

3. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets that'll ensure your foods emerge perfectly cooked instead of still raw or burned to a crisp because you guesstimated the cook time.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy to have them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color, so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl

Get them from Amazon for $8.98 (available in two colors and a Spanish language version).

4. A Souper Cube if weeknight dinners take you no less than an hour and a half to make (and that's not counting cleanup time!). This silicone freezing tray stores perfectly portioned soups, stews, sauces, and more so you can meal prep in bulk over the weekend and then freeze it in these trays. It's so easy to quickly grab them as needed and defrost them for an easy meal.

www.amazon.com

Each tray has four fill lines — 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 125 mL, and 250 mL — which is ideal for people who like to portion their food.

You may remember Souper Cube from Shark Tank (Lori invested in the company!). This small business was started by four friends who loved soup but hated food waste.

Promising review: "So happy that I found these. I’m the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it’s impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I’m ready for the next batch!" —Debbie R. Texas

5. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers for helping you achieve a pantry that looks a professional organized it. Sure, pasta is great and all but aren't you tired of buying boxes of spaghetti only to realize you had an unopened box shoved in the back of your cupboard? This will help you figure out what you do and don't have at a glance.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have tried other brands of containers for airtight storage, but they are a hassle to clean. This system is fantastic for an airtight seal yet easy to clean. I like the variety of sizes, the cute labels, and the chalk marker. I will be ordering more!" —mds2006

Get it from Amazon for $25.63+ (available in three colors).

6. A pair of meat shredder claws because pulling apart pounds of pork with two measly forks is not efficient or fun. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I just made 26 pounds of pork butt for a large family gathering. Several months ago, I did the same thing, and my husband and I shredded it together with four forks. We scorched our hands repeatedly, and it took over 70 minutes. I looked at several shredding forks and settled in on these and I sure am glad I did! They are solid, light, and sharp. They are not hollow on the back side, so meat doesn't get stuck in them. It didn't take long to get the hang of them. They double as handles to pick the large 8.5 pounds of butts, which was very nice. They really do become extensions of your hands! I had read reviews that said that these don't let you get meat shredded finely, but that was certainly not my experience. Although I haven't used them on other sorts of meat yet, this pork was fall-off-the-bone tender, and it shredded very finely for me. And it did it so fast! I shredded all 26 pounds by myself in less than 30 minutes and didn't burn my hands once. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get these...It really does beat the two-fork system!" —L. Smith

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

7. A truly ~egg-cellent~ rapid egg cooker so you can enjoy an omelet (or a soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled egg as well as poached eggies — so many options!) in mere minutes. The best part = no supervision necessary, and you won't dirty a single pan.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was skeptical when I ordered it, but I use it constantly. I live in barracks and do not have a stove. I bought it for boiled eggs but use it much more for breakfast burritos. Super easy. Butter tray, put in egg and water, press the button, and walk away. By the time I'm dressed for work, it's ready. Throw it in a tortilla and walk out with it. More nutritious than Pop-Tarts. It does hard-boiled eggs well, but don't assume that all it's good for. Great for college kids, military people, traveling workers, or anyone without access to a full kitchen." —a.l.s

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).

8. A set of oven liners that'll catch crumbs before they can permanently attach themselves to your oven and create a big freaking mess you'll spend hours cleaning. Raise your hand if you hate cleaning your oven. Great. Now, take that same hand and click the "add to cart" button.

Amazon

Promising review: "I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill or running the 'oven clean' option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while. I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for them to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner. It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer, and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn't the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!" —Hpg

Get a set of three from Amazon for $12.99.

9. An all-in-one pan from our Goodful collection if you've got one pan to your name, and it's still coated with the remnants of this morning's fried egg. Use this pan to steam, saute, pan fry, deep fry, stew, poach, and so much more! And when it's time for cleanup, the mess will just slide right off. (Or just toss it in the dishwasher!)

www.amazon.com

It comes with a beechwood turner.

Promising review: "My husband used this pan for the first time a couple of nights ago, and it was perfect! Enough capacity for the cheesy potato soup he was making (we always make enough for leftovers with soups and stews), no issues with sticking at all, got up to temperate, and held it well. It's lightweight, which is wonderful for such a large pan! Well constructed and a good flat surface on top and bottom for easy cooking and perfect heat coverage." —Patricia A Rufus

Get it from Amazon for $60.74 (available in six colors).

10. A two-tier sliding shelf for anyone who has kitchen cabinets that are to absolutely never be opened for fear of triggering an avalanche of junk. These durable baskets are up to the task of corralling all the random bits and bobs you own, so every bit of storage space is usable.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw great reviews on this item, so I took the plunge and ordered two sets of them. They were a little pricey, but I am so happy with the product that I think the price was completely worthwhile! These organizers are much better than other plastic drawers I have used in the past. With the way they are designed, items don't get stuck in the drawers, they are easy to slide, they are spacious, and they have little removable 'sectionals' that you can use to organize the inside of the drawers. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I would make it again in a heartbeat." —Tess De Pretis

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors and with or without dividers).

11. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier (you might remember it from Shark Tank!) because it makes getting rid of leftover grease easier than whatever method you're using right now. Simply sprinkle the powder in your remaining oil while it's still hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash.

www.amazon.com

FryAway is a woman-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

Promising review: "Honestly, I didn’t know if this would work; waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature, it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma

Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

12. A space-saving grater and slicer set so you don't have to invest in bulky and expensive individual versions. (You probs don't have the room in your tiny kitchen anyway!) It comes with a slicer, medium grater, and coarse grater, and the base serves as both a storage container (when it's in use) and a handy receptacle for sliced zucchini, grated cheese, etc.

Amazon

Promising review: "Easy to use and several different options for cutting your vegetables as needed. Sharp blades and it’s a plus to hold everything you slice or dice in its container. Exactly what I needed. Very well made and easy to use. My go-to in my kitchen for my vegetables." —Giselle

Get it from Amazon for $22.95.

13. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to ~force~ yourself to join the fun side. How can you not smile while waging an epic war between your chopsticks skills and the speed at which you can bring that soy sauce-drenched spicy tuna roll to your mouth before it breaks apart.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

My colleague Emma Lord bought these and loves them. In her own words:

"I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."

Get them from Amazon for $11.97.

14. A box of cleaning K-Cups that'll get rid of residue in your machine and prevent flavors from transferring in just one cycle. Or have fun descaling it multiple times. Your choice!

Promising review: "Thought I was having problems with my machine. Used two cups to flush the entire coffee maker out, and it started working like new. Totally satisfied!" —Dara Pazooki

Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95.

15. A cold brew maker if coffee is your lifeblood, but you're spending an embarrassing amount of money on drive-thru coffees each morning. Psst! You can make it at home for a fraction of the price (and it'll taste better!).

www.amazon.com

It brews a quart (4 cups), so you should have enough java to get you through the day (and maybe some left over to share with your favorite coworker).

Promising review: "If you LOVE iced coffee (I drink it year-round regardless of the weather), then you NEED this cold brewer. I work for Starbucks, and I love our cold brew. I was skeptical about making it at home, but I love it more than theirs. It’s especially nice since Starbucks only brews one kind of beans for cold brew, but at home, you can brew your favorite kind. Absolutely love this, and it’s worth more than it costs. A must-buy for yourself or a wonderful gift for the coffee lover in your life!" —j.blaine

Get it from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

16. A HyperChiller for cooling down your hot coffee, tea, and wine in 60 seconds. Having to brew your coffee the night before so you can have iced coffee in the a.m. is a thing of the past.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have a cold brew set to make concentrate, which is nice, but it takes 24+ hours. Sometimes, I forget/run out/am lazy, and you can literally brew hot coffee into this thing and have ice-cold coffee about two minutes later. From hot brewed to so cold in less than two minutes that the coffee doesn't even melt ice in the glass. Highly recommend if you're an iced coffee fan like me!" —Billy S.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors/styles).

17. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because they clean as your machine runs — no need to spend your precious free time cleaning it by hand.

18. A pizza storage container so you don't lose the *entire* second shelf in your fridge to a pizza box. This expandable container grows to hold up to *5* slices of 'za and creates an airtight lid that keeps your cheesy, pepperoni-y from getting stale or soggy. AND! The dividers prevent your pieces from sticking together while also serving as plates when you want to microwave your pizza.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this! I used the pizza pack to store four slices. They fit great, and they were full-size slices. I also used the pizza trays included to warm up the pizza in the microwave. It did a pretty good job of getting the slices hot. I love the collapsible aspect. Great for easy storage. Great product, really good price, and made in the USA!!" —Tom Angiolillo

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

19. A pack of foaming garbage disposal cleaners to deodorize your sink ASAP and get rid of the funk. Please, please, please do not stick your hand down the drain; let this do the work instead!

Get a pack (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78.

20. A pancake batter mixer with a built-in BlenderBall wire whisk that'll mix wet and dry ingredients for hotcakes and waffles as fast as you can shake it. Breakfast will be ready in minutes *and* with fewer dirty dishes that require your attention.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: This is the best breakfast invention after the waffle maker. LOVE IT! As someone who makes pancakes or waffles three to four times a week (my kids are pretty spoiled, but breakfast is key to getting through the first part of the school day), this is the easiest and fastest way to get that done. I just add everything to the bottle, shake it, and pour it into the waffle maker or griddle. When I am done, just add some water, shake again, empty, and then place everything in the dishwasher." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors and with stencils).

21. A microwave veggie steamer if you can't be bothered to boil a large pot of water just for your single serving of veggies. This steamer has a 2-cup capacity, so it's great for anyone who's cooking (or steaming) for one.

Amazon

Promising review: "I love fresh vegetables but hate having to cook up the whole batch and store. This little microwave steamer worked out even BETTER than I could have imagined! I use it almost every day now. I can break off a few stalks of broccoli, cut up some asparagus and carrots, steam it in the microwave for 3–3.5 minutes, and I have a wonderful serving of mixed fresh veggies anytime I want. I love it! It is small, so if you're feeding a family, look for something bigger along the same lines. It's easy to clean, and it seems sturdy enough for the dishwasher, but I hand wash it because I had a microwave steamer that got warped after a few runs through the dishwasher. Would definitely buy again." —terifrancis

Get it from Amazon for $10.02.

22. A pan and lid organizer for racking your cookware and preventing it from scratching each other. Y'know, it would actually be helpful to see where all your pots, pans, and lids are.

Amazon

Promising review: "It was better quality than I thought it would be. It worked perfectly. It definitely helped me organize the cabinet of pots and pans and made a cluttered mess into an organized, functional space. I would recommend it to anybody. Now, I can just reach in and grab the frying pan I want, and it left plenty of room for my pots to stay to the right. You could not even see the bottom of my cabinet before." —Careful shopper

Get it from Amazon for $18.97 (available in three colors).

23. A foil pan protector because your one job is to bring a dish to the family potluck, but your flimsy foil pans are doing their darnedest to leak everywhere. Enter the Fancy Panz. Simply plop your foil pan inside it (there's a riser so you can use it for both shallow and deep foil pans), and you'll have peace of mind knowing your pasta salad isn't sloshing around in the backseat leaking dressing all over your car. You can even stack 'em — that's how sturdy they are.

Amazon

Promising review: "Skeptical yet very satisfied!! I was a little skeptical, but it was worth it. Love it! No collapsing to worry about, so less mess, and I can stack on top without it getting smushed!!" —Jennifer Miles

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in nine colors).

24. A set of "floating" kitchen knives so you can easily cut through whatever ingredient the recipe calls for: tough root veggies, delicate tomatoes, you name it. You've got a lot of chopping, slicing, and dicing to do, so you need knives that can keep up.

www.amazon.com

The set includes 14 professional knives, kitchen scissors, a peeler, a premium 2-stage knife sharpener, a knife cleaner, a knife guard, and a knife stand.

Promising reviews: "The knives are very attractive; my family (6 including grandparents) enjoys using them and say that often. Having college athletes at home full time who work out daily, chop coarse vegetables (carrots) and meats constantly, and have quite a bit of free time to constantly explore culinary options, the knives needed to be sharpened occasionally. There have been no issues whatsoever with the handles, appearance, etc..and considering these are used A LOT, they look brand new. The nonstick sides need extra protection though, so dishwashing is not recommended overall in our experience since we have hard (albeit filtered and treated) water." —dawn savick

"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! We're a family of soon-to-be eight and are on a tight budget for a one-income family. To find something reasonable in price with the quality of something more expensive, we were more than pretty pleased to find this product. Not only stylish but great quality" —Crystal Mara

Get the 20-piece set from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three finishes).

Read our Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker review!

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 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 instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the cooker 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

Get it from Amazon for $17.95.

26. A pack of slow cooker liners that'll come in handy if you have a lot of hungry people to feed. With the disposable liners, you can cook different recipes at the same time, reducing your overall cooking time *and* saving you from having to wash a huge stack of dishes.

Walmart

PS: They also come in handy with dishes going into a water bath (think cheesecakes, custards, and puddings). 

Promising review: "We constantly use our crockpot for easy meals. I'm a teacher and my husband is a firefighter, and it's just easy for our family of five. No real cleanup. I toss the bag in the trash after use and will just run a wet rag around the inside of the pot for good measure. Never have a problem with holes or burning." —Ashley Matthews

28. A wineglass clip for securing your delicate glassware in the dishwasher so you don't have to wash them by hand anymore. Score!

www.amazon.com

Wine Wash Co. is a small business based in Houston, Texas.

Promising review: "These work with all of our wineglasses, including my Riedels, thin champagne flutes, and crystal wineglasses. Our KitchenAid dishwasher came with a wine rack, but it didn't hold our taller wineglasses, so this little gadget did the trick. Very easy to use. I keep them clipped in between cycles now that I’ve found a good spot for them. Extra helpful for dinner party clean up. Cheers to never washing wineglasses by hand again!" —Amazon Customer

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $15.

29. A flexible silicone kitchen sink organizer because, yes, you are justified in feeling annoyed that your roommate left a wet sponge just sitting on the counter! This will hold your sponge, dish soap, hand soap, and more. And it wipes clean since it's made of silicone so you don't have to worry about yucky mold and mildew.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have been looking for something to put my dishwashing soap in and not worry about spills around my sink. Tried so many, and then I finally found this. It's easy to wash, a soft rubber, it does not collect water underneath, and it keeps everything nice, clean, and organized. I love it!" —karmen haik

www.amazon.com

It's also dishwasher-safe (top rack only!) so cleanup is easy peasy.

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors).

31. A veggie dicer to handle bigger dicing jobs and make quick work of the produce in your fridge that needs to be prepped for dinner. No more tears because the recipe calls for diced onions!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Use often. Works well. Love that I can quickly chop up vegetables to the same size so they cook more evenly. Especially love it if I’m doing a lot of onions for food prep. I give a quick rinse with hot water to clean up and air dry." —Lte

Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in four sizes and four colors).

32. A cast-iron scrubber that'll lift leftover food grit — not the pan's seasoning. This'll save you a heck of a lot of time now that you're not trying to scrub away stubborn stains with a fragile sponge.

www.amazon.com

Because this scrubber is metal, you should avoid using it on nonstick pans as it can scratch and damage the surface.

Promising review: "I love the product. I wish I had known about it when I first got my cast-iron skillet over a year ago. It is really easy to use and did a great job getting the crud off of the skillet without stripping the seasoning away and it was fast. I find myself using my cast-iron more frequently since purchasing this product because I no longer dread the cleanup process. If you have cast-iron cookware, then you need one of these babies. I will definitely recommend it to others." —KeCaRi

Get it from Amazon for $13.95. This customer review is long, but it's full of great tips if you end up purchasing this scrubber.

33. An itty bitty knife sharpener if you're still smushing your veggies and dangerously sawing through hard fruits and meat with a dull knife.

Amazon

Promising review: "Wow! I was going to buy some whetstones to sharpen my knives, but I knew I’d be too lazy to use them. Then I saw this gadget advertised on BuzzFeed and thought I’d try it for the price. It works exactly as stated. It won’t restore knicked blades, but it sharpens amazingly well. 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.

Just plop your bread and cheese in the bag and then in the toaster, and you're minutes away from ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness. And they're great for helping prevent cross-contamination if someone in your house has food allergies.

Amazon

These reusable bags are good for 50 to 100 washes and can hold pizza, chicken nuggets, and pastries.

Promising review: "I love using these! Since I live alone, I don't like having to dirty a skillet to make just one sandwich. This makes a great sandwich in the toaster without any muss or fuss. They're easy to clean; just wipe it out or use a little soap and water if needed. The nonstick feature is very helpful." —Branwynmars

Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99.

35. A meat tenderizer because it'll make your $10 steak taste like it costs 10 times that.

Amazon

Promising review: "This thing really works great. Takes only seconds to tenderize any kind of meat. I've used it 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 safety. 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 $32.78 (available in four colors and a 16-blade option).

36. A vampire-shaped garlic press so your hands don't reek for the next three days. Just twist the Count's head to crush the garlic — easy peasy garlic squeezy. Be careful not to have too much fun with this or you'll end up crushing more garlic than you need...which is not a bad problem to have tbh.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This little bloodsucker is 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "It's so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher-safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece, so there are no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily; it is honestly a game-changer for my cooking game!" —Llamazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $16.95.

37. A 2-in-1 garlic press to slice *and* mince so you don't need two separate gadgets.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have carpal tunnel, so I like to minimize straining my muscles. I also have pretty small hands. This garlic press is really comfortable to use, albeit a little bit annoying to clean. I recently tried using a friend's garlic press, and the amount of force I needed to use really hurt my hands and wrists. If you've been avoiding getting a garlic press because you fear you lack wrist strength, this is the product for you. I'm never mincing or slicing garlic again." —Jamie Sarmiento

38. A lasagna trio pan that'll help you prepare meals for everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions. Mamma mia! *insert chef finger kiss*

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "In a family of six, there are always SOME who don't like what everyone else is eating. This is a pan where making three different kinds of lasagna doesn't require much, if any, more effort than making a single lasagna with the same dimensions. Takes the same amount of time to layer the noodles and the same amount of time to build the things...but you have three different builds to satisfy those darned picky kids. Or hey, go adult gourmet in a way that Olive Garden cannot. What's fun with this pan is it's not just lasagna. I tried making bread with it to good effect. Yeah, the loaves looked a little weird, but I DON'T CARE. I did it, and that's all. It gives me what I prize most in cooking gear...versatility. Easy to clean, certainly...and nonstick, though that requires a little care (use wood, not metal utensils). With proper care and feeding, these are made to last pretty much forever. I love it." —J.

39. A set of TikTok-famous adjustable mug organizers if you're a sucker for cute mugs but are running low on precious cabinet space thanks to your ever-growing collection. This genius organizer creates a sturdy surface so you can stack your mugs and basically cut in half the amount of space they take up on your shelves. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I came across these in an Amazon review on TikTok, and I just had to have them for my mugs. I have a lot of mugs but no space. I didn’t want a hanging mechanism for the mugs; I just needed a way to stack them. This is such a great product to help stack mugs. They’re easily adjustable for any size mug. They don’t topple over, they’re very sturdy. One of the best space-savers I have in the kitchen!" —Magdalynn Tibbetts

40. A snap-on silicone strainer for straining pasta, veggies, hard-boiled eggs, and more on your own with ease. It clips onto nearly any pot, big or small, so you don't lose any precious cargo when you dump out the water.

Promising review: "I live alone in a small apartment with a small kitchen that has very little storage space, and I often eat pasta. Using a colander means one more thing I have to wash (and store...and put away). I have a couple of hand strainers, but that makes things awkward, especially since I have a condition that makes it even more so. This little guy has made things so much easier! Its small size makes it easy to wash (by hand, for me) and then just toss in a drawer. It's sturdy, even the clips, so I don't feel I have to be gentle with it." —Jonathan Dowell

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors).

41. Some Command cord bundlers because your kitchen is full of gadgets and gizmos aplenty, and their cords are ugly and sprawled over every surface of your home. Tie them up neatly and stick 'em to your devices so you never have to go rooting around for a rubber band.

Promising review: "I’ve only used it on a few appliances, but the one getting the most action would be the one on our coffee maker. It can’t be adhered to surfaces that get hot (like a slow cooker), so I was able to find a spot that doesn’t when we use it, and it has held up great so far. I’ve been using it for a few months, and so far, so good. I hate having cords trailing around on the counter, and this helped fix that. Worth the investment." —TravelBuff

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.99.

42. A silicone baking mat so you don't have to cool and wash the baking sheet every time you want to pop something in the oven. Just swap out the baking mats instead!

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My husband got me two of these a few years ago, and I recently bought two more just so I could do more baking/cooking between washes. I have a large family, so we regularly use 3+ sheet pans in one meal to roast meat and vegetables or make homemade fries. These work well. They still need a little oil or nonstick spray for some things, but cookies bake beautifully on them dry, and even when I'm making meats or veggies, they make cleanup so much easier. I highly recommend." —J. Holum

"I’ve been using these for months, and I love that they help with easier cleaning. As a family of 6, anything I can do to cut back on the time I spend washing dishes is a bonus! Cookies and biscuits come off easily!" —mamajen

43. A single-handed server if you hate needing two hands just to scoop some salad. And it gives you more control over your serve — because using a spaghetti server means you either have way more pasta that you're going to eat or you're spooning noodles one by one onto your plate.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is outstanding! I first used at a family member's house while serving myself some salad. It grips well in your hand, grabs a lot of salad, and nothing falls out! I bought this for myself and just love it. I plan to gift these to those that I know serve salad often. Best scooper/server ever!" —JJ

Get it from Amazon for $15.
