Amazon It’s made to be heat resistant up to 600°. Promising review: “Seriously, I love this spoon! I’m considering buying another, it’s that great.

It scrapes, it stirs, and I can even use it to measure oil for the pan.

This is hands down my favorite blender yet! It is so quiet! I had to walk away when blending with Nutribullet because it would hurt my ears. No more! It is quiet, but inside it is blending like a beast! Just one minute and everything is perfectly blended. Even the greens are micronized in there, unlike other blenders that would leave larger pieces of kale or spinach behind.

To top it off, it is a beautiful design, so I am happy to give it real estate on my countertop!” — Allison G Get it from our Goodful shop for $165 (available in three colors). 6.

. . I add salt to taste and a teaspoon of olive oil, and it comes out delish! When done, just turn it over on your serving plate or just serve it directly from the container.

. . Afterward, just pop it in the dishwasher, no hard rice scraping to do.

Highly recommend!” — Ani Get it from Amazon for $27. 95 . 8.

amazon. com , www. amazon.

com Promising review: “As someone who has a child (now a teenager) who will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it, but now I can make him a section without cheese, and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square.

Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family. ” — TRU Get it from Amazon for $22. 99 .

9. A compact 8-in-1 spiralizer made to grate, juice, spiralize, and shred all the ingredients you need for your recipe. This one tool really can do it all and make it so you can actually enjoy a home-cooked meal, even if you don’t feel like you have any time for it at all.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord says: “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, this is the first I’ve owned. But, overall I’d recommend it :)” — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11. 98+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: “I absolutely despise spending a lot of time in the kitchen after work. I am tired, just want to pour a glass of wine, and binge-watch Supernatural .

My boyfriend can’t cook to save his life, so that isn’t much help either. I’d feel better eating something created out of real, edible foods rather than microwaved in a pouch with fake cheese, so I cook even when I stay over at his house. Just when I was pondering the option of breaking up and finding a man who can cook (not really), INSTANT POT HAPPENED! Dinner is done and ready to eat every time in less than an hour.

Sometimes WAY less than an hour. I can’t believe I survived 30 years without one! It would have been AMAZING back when I was in college! I am constantly learning new things I can whip up (sometimes trial and error, sometimes recipe books). I can throw frozen chicken breasts in it, seasoning, just hit the poultry setting, adjust the time up a bit, and boom.

Super tender amazing chicken. Something about handling raw chicken makes me too disgusted to eat it once it’s cooked, so being able to throw it in frozen is such a relief. ” — Sunahm Get it from Amazon for $84.

And as an added bonus — there’s a handy conversion chart right on the side! Amazon Promising review: “So I was skeptical, but I bought it because I thought it was cool to have the veggie/herb stripper and its width. What I didn’t consider was the angle of it, that it’s not just a straight cutter. I love to cook on my cast iron skillets and it has been AMAZING scraping while I cook with my Oxo skillet spatula .

It’s super easy to hold, and I’m able to scrape up hashbrowns (this morning) with ease with the angle. I’ve also chopped onions and nuts on the cutting board when I got lazy with the knife. I don’t know about you, but I get slippery lizard fingers in the kitchen.

I like the feel of the textured wood that doesn’t slip out of my hand, not the cold, slick metal. ” — I Sing to Yahuah Get it from Amazon for $9. 99 .

12. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer because chopping takes an absurd amount of time. Like, seriously, when I read a recipe and it says it will take 20 minutes, they’re not taking my slow chopping skills into account.

com It comes with a small-dice blade, large-dice blade, spiral blade, and ribbon blade that are interchangeable and gives you the option to chop, slice, and julienne vegetables.

Promising review: “I’ve had this for a couple of months now, and it makes my life SOOOOO much easier. Anything I’ve thrown at it, it’s sliced with ease. Tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onions, celery, carrots.

. . EASY! I even use to chop the eggs when I make potato salad now since it’s so easy and makes perfect slices.

” What used to take me three to four mins chopping up an onion and then a face full of ruined makeup, now takes less than one minute and no makeup ruined . The blades are SHARP, definitely be careful when removing them. But the lock on the tray makes it easy and so far I haven’t hurt myself with it.

Typically, I’ll use it and then rinse out the top and put it in the dishwasher. It’s been through on the top rack well over 20 times now and still looks brand new. If something ever happens to this one, I’ll be back to get another one.

It saves me so much time when cooking dinner! ” — Macygrey09 Get it from Amazon for $29. 99 . 13.

. . 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. . .

These are especially helpful with raw meat, as I can use two hands while prepping the food and don’t have to worry about keeping one clean to open the bag. I’ve also used them to portion out servings and ounces of meat when placed on a scale. They’re not made of anything incredibly strong, but they’re sturdy enough for full Ziploc bags of food.

I now have perfectly portioned 1/2-cup and 1-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady — no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer.

Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost.

amazon. com Promising review: “Once in a while you stumble on a product that is better than advertised. This is one of them.

Having arthritis in my hands, I struggle to open some large jars. This works like a charm and makes it a one-handed operation. Following the advice of another reviewer, we mounted it ‘backward’ so the point of the V is towards the front of the cupboard rather than the back.

This allows us to pull the jar towards us, rather than pushing it away. It also means we can’t see the metal teeth from our sofa. Now I want to open every jar in the house.
