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.

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.

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. www.

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.

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. Amazon 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.

com , Amazon 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.

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).

Amazon Promising review: “This thing is the bomb. com Seriously, buy one. You won’t regret it.

This dispenser solved all of my problems.

Thank you!” — DRMcQuaig Get it from Amazon for $12. 46 . 28.

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! www. amazon. com 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 Get it from Amazon for $17. 99+ (available in three colors).

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. ” Get it from Amazon for $140 (available in three colors).

So far it is sturdy. Go have fun!” — Steven Schwartz Get it from Amazon for $11. 99 .

Plus, there’s an included recipe book for meal inspiration. Check it out in action TikTok here ! 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 Get it from Amazon for $179. 95+ (available in black or white).
