31 Kitchen Gadgets You'll Literally Want To Get Your Hands On

It features a protective guard that'll give you just one more reason to order your go-to pie tonight — you've earned it. It can also be used to efficiently cut up vegetables, greens, dough, cookies, fudge and more. To clean it, pull apart the case and pop the blade out! Easy as...pizza pie.

Promising review: "This just made pizza night so much easier. The blade is very sharp and easily slices thin- or thick-crust pizza in ONE pass. This is easy to grip, and you can use the weight of your arm rather than so much hand/wrist pressure. Easy clean, also. Love it! Already recommended to several pizza-loving friends." —Tamara Michelle

You'll definitely be egg-cited to test this out — a must-have for any home bakers or fans of egg-white omelets.

Promising review: "This is by far the best kitchen gadget I've ever owned. It actually makes me want to be in the kitchen (which is not my favorite place). It works exactly as described, is easy to clean, and is cute to boot. Just don't be tempted to stick this fish to yourself. I've had to explain to all my coworkers how I ended up with fish hickeys." —Siber

You'll absolutely love this if you often have aches and pains in your hands or struggle to open things on your own.

Promising review: "The grinders were a gift and my husband loved them. Easy to use and change out spices. The one-hand grinding works great, especially when you need one hand free to turn over the food you’re seasoning." —dje

It's disguised as an adorable ladybug who will be more than eager to help you clean the table after a particularly messy meal — wish I could say the same about your roommate.

Promising review: "Best little handheld vacuum ever. I use it for everything: coffee-table crevices, eating areas, dusting my tables. I used it for a horrible glitter spill, when I cut glass for art projects. Super easy to use, store, and empty. It's one of the best purchases I ever made, seriously." —Gila Hammock

It might just make you want to clean your dishes — it looks kinda fun, doesn't it?

Promising review: "I'm loving this little brush. I had purchased another dish brush a while back from the grocery store and the bristles were so stiff that it often splattered soap everywhere. This one isn't like that. The bristles are stiff, but soft enough that they tend to cling to what you're brushing, so they don't cause that splatter effect. I also like that you can open the whole thing up by taking its top off to refill it, giving you plenty of room to pour in the dish soap. The ability to easily remove and replace the brush is another very handy feature. Both are easy to do and it's well-made, so it's not likely to come open or undone unexpectedly." —Elliria

Don't plan to invite any vampires over for dinner.

Promising review: "I had a two-hinge garlic press, which worked well but the garlic often got stuck and it was not easy to clean. I am pleasantly surprised by how this garlic crusher has such a simple design, yet it is so effective. As you press the garlic, the minced garlic will be collected on top of the grater and you can easily scape it off with the little knife that came with the kit. I also love the silicone peeler! It makes peeling garlic skin a lot easier. With these tools, my hands longer stink from cropping garlic!" —CL

It'll grate cheese, juice fruits, cut ribbon and so much more. This lil' gadget really does it all.

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

You can count on it to help you re-create the green juice or smoothies you used to pick up on your way to the office.

Promising review: "I use this almost every morning. This was my savior during the quarantine part of the pandemic when I was working from home. I was able to easily make smoothies for breakfast or a snack instead of eating junk. Blended quickly and easily, easy to clean, and came with so many cups and travel options I was able to continue my healthy habit when I went back to work!" —Marissa Vittorio

So all of your precious balls of dough will come out exactly the same size and look simply stunning before everyone in the house gobbles 'em up.

Promising review: "Why didn't I have one of these in my kitchen drawer before?! I bought the medium-sized scoop originally to make a large batch of cookies for Christmas, but today it came in handy when I had leftover batter from my banana bread recipe and it made the perfect scoop to fill a regular-sized cupcake liner! Now I'm thinking about getting the small size for my mini cupcakes! Super easy and they came out perfectly uniform and totally beats trying to use a spoon! Handles have a nice silicone grip, too, and help with hand fatigue. :-)" —MiChi K.

So you can finally make your own baked Alaska after watching various chefs do it on TV for years.

Promising review: "This mini torch is easy to use with an adjustable flame. It's not too fancy-shmancy, but it's not expensive either. It does everything I need it to do including lighting candles that have burned too far down to reach with a match (although I know that's not its intent at all). Unfortunately it doesn't arrive with butane; but once you fill it, it lasts a pretty long time!" —Vero

It'll help you create perfectly round, fluffy pancakes that honestly could be featured on the cover of a magazine.

Promising review: "Finally a kitchen utensil that saves time, mess, and frustration! I ordered this because my 10-year-old daughter loves to make pancakes but she also leaves an incredible mess. She also loves to make cupcakes and that's even a double mess. Upon receiving the batter dispenser, my daughter took it out of the package and started making pancakes right away without my instructions. She loved the ease to make the pancakes in the container and then one click on the pan with no mess." —Jim Hudson

They feature a bend in their design you can use to place them safely along the side of a pan or on your countertop with the comforting fact they'll never touch any germ-filled surfaces. Magical!

Promising review: "I love the way these tongs grab and hold onto meats while I am cooking. It makes it easy to turn over meat when frying. The bend in the handle ensures that the end of the tongs do not touch the countertop. The silicone ends are perfect for holding onto meats and vegetables. I would highly recommend this tool. I liked it so much that I bought a second set with longer handles." —B Hogan

You can count on this to make recreating your favorite Panera soup a breeze — broccoli cheddar in a bread bowl here we come!

Promising review: "Amazing blender! I've had other (cheap) models of immersion blenders. While they did what they were supposed to do, they did not have quality that this Mueller one has. I absolutely ADORE that the piece that does the work is all stainless, not cheap plastic. I use mine mostly for doing soups, and it does a wonderful job even on 'tough' kohlrabi. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a GOOD immersion blender!" —Judy D.

Promising review: "I purchased the corn butter knife early in the summer — just in time for corn season. Since it comes in a set of two, I gave one to my daughter and son-in-law; their comment was, 'Why hasn't anyone ever thought of this before?!' It's a MUCH better solution than rolling the cob in a slab of butter!" —Anne

Promising review: "This product is the bee's knees! Best-ever product to chop ground hamburger, sausage, etc.! Makes taco meat, spaghetti meat sauce, and sausage soooo easy to 'chop' while cooking to have a small and uniform texture! Must have! Just hate we didn’t have these 30 years ago! Lol!

Promising review: "These are amazing! I bought one in New York at a winery not thinking it would change my life but it did! This is the perfect topper so you can put your wine back in the fridge on its side and not have to worry about it spilling. It was a great aerator, too. You don't need all the tools when you have this little guy. I bought three in total. One for my mom, too!" —Jenna

It'll make popping open your favorite soup a cinch. You'll be pleased you added this to your cart the next time your power goes out and you can't use the fancy electric one you typically reach for.

Promising review: "This is a top-notch can opener. Gone through several other cheap brands that have broken and left me nearly cutting a finger off trying to finish opening the half-mutilated can, but this guy knows how to get the job done, and the handle is much more ergonomic in my opinion. Do yourself a favor and buy five, one for yourself and four for people in your life, because this guy will change their lives." —AK

It'll make it easier than ever to actually add the correct amount of an ingredient into a recipe you've tried to cut in half. Please refrain from asking about the time I tried to "do math" and thoroughly screwed up a tried-and-true chocolate chip cookie recipe... Adjusts to measurements of 1/2 tsp up to 1 full tbsp.

Promising review: "I have been using an identical measuring spoon for many years. I bought it in a specialty store and hadn't seen one since then. This is a fabulous product. The same measuring spoon is used for all ingredients. With the addition of this spoon, I now have one for dry and one for wet ingredients. This is a superior product, giving exact measurements, and is an essential for all bakers and serious cooks. DO NOT wash in the dishwasher. I hand-wash and dry immediately and have kept mine in good condition for more than a decade. Should you get it? YES!" —Sharon Beverly

You'll love it as much as you loved Jeff Goldblum's character in the original Jurassic Park.

Promising review: "Pastasaurus has been my faithful pasta-cooking companion since June 2014 and he looks as young as the day I got him. His teeth haven’t dulled and his color is still vibrant. I love being greeted by his toothy grin at mealtimes. We’ve boiled through a lot of pasta together too. Penne, rigatoni, fusilli, vermicelli — you name it, we’ve boiled it. We’ve also splashed through a rainbow of sauces, tomato-based, cream-based, oil-based, and he cleans up very well every time. Bonus, he’s a great hiding spot for Easter eggs!" —J.G.

It'll help you create restaurant-worthy paninis and burgers you'll salivate over every time.

Promising review: "All the years I have been grilling I have said I gotta get one of those. Well, in the age of COVID I no longer put off those experiences. This is not high-tech, no bells, no whistles, it doesn't even connect to the internet. Just a piece of iron with a handle. But it works so well. Soon as it arrived I shoveled the snow off the grill, fired it up, and cooked a nice 2-inch-thick piece of steak. Beautiful grill lines on one side and beautiful hatch pattern on the other. And it tasted great. Tomorrow burgers!" —SeekerGeorge

It'll help you roll any dough to a specific width. I see a lot of pizza, pies and cookies in your future.

Promising review: "OMG! I have been looking for this my whole life! I make sugar cookies and I like them pretty thick and it is hard to roll them out evenly. This is PERFECT...and I mean PERFECT!! I baked three batches of cut-out sugar cookies in less than an hour and a half!!! No joke! I was going to buy one of those cookie things with the side bars but they are over $50. This works amazingly well and the price is perfect. Great product!!!" —L. Stanley

So you won't have to suffer from burnt fingertips while trying to finally get a smidge closer to flawlessly replicating your grandma's famous pulled-pork recipe.

Promising review: "Works well for shredding larger portions of meat, like pork. Plastic appears to be of higher quality. Sufficient room in the opening for most finger and hand sizes. The pointed tips shouldn't cause injury unless you're careless. I'd highly recommend the use of quality protective gloves; you're not only dealing with the mess of shredding itself but also, most likely, some elevated-temperature food." —Legardi11
