Who doesn’t love to cook?!
Okay, so maybe some of us see it as more of a necessary evil… but one thing is for sure: whether you love or hate to cook, NOBODY will say no to a little help around the kitchen. And who says it has to come from a human?
Yup. It’s cooking innovation time! Some of the discoveries will help you stay neat and tidy in the kitchen… others will help you cook up the perfect dish easily (or even automatically)… and some do a bit of both. Check ‘em out and enjoy!
1. This batter dispenser that gives you the perfect pancake without having to think – plus, no mess to worry about!
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

2. This state-of-the-art (and super cute) Air Fryer that encourages you to enjoy healthier fried foods. Trust us… once you try it, you won’t go back!
Promising Review: “I’ve been using a smaller version but was finding it wasn’t big enough for things I wanted to make. The size on this was perfect. I cooked a whole chicken and it came out beautiful. It took about 1 hour to cook and was tender. Easy to use, easy to clean and shipping was fast.” – Island Girl

3. This simple clip-on colander that lets you strain pots without requiring two hands OR washing a second dish!
Promising Review: “This item is fantastic! The primary pot on which I use the SNAP’N STRAIN is a non-stick stock pot that has a somewhat unusual “lipped” edge. Thus, I was a bit apprehensive that the SNAP’N STRAIN would not snap securely in place. Although it’s a bit of a tight fit, it does snap in place and hold securely to the non-stick sides of the pot. I can now strain pasta from the boiling pot by simply holding the pot’s handles and not have to hold a strainer in place — no more burned hands!” – tbn8vb

4. This crazy-convenient frying pan with enough unique sections to cook an entire meal (so you don’t have to clean multiple pans)
Promising Review: “Now that I have cooked a few meals with this pan I can honestly say that I will no longer be needing all my other pans. It just does it all. Cooking multiple ingredients at the same time and then infusing them together to mix the flavors is something that I have never been able to do before. Keep the pan at a medium heat to always get the best cook because food cook differently and you can take your time in preparing your meal. I recommend this to pretty much anyone that likes to cook and mostly to the ones that dread it! A++” – Dan S

5. The genius Frywall – a cone-shaped sleeve that fits around your frying pan to protect you from dangerous hot oil splatters. As seen on Shark Tank!
Promising Review: “I’m in love with this product. It does what it says and keeps your stove clean. The added plus is that you can be sloppy with your stirring and flipping because it keeps everything in the pan. I just ordered the 10″. Thank you for creating this wonderful kitchen tool.” – Kattwoman

6. This super-quick egg cooker that takes all the hassle out of making perfect soft/hard boiled eggs… and we mean PERFECT. (Soft yolk, hard whites – right?)
Promising Review: “If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. If you’re particular about egg yolks like me and like them soft but not runny or raw, I’ve attached an image of a perfectly soft boiled egg that was cooked as directed (I timed it, this one was 11mins. You don’t have to time it at all as the buzzer will go off, just for reference). Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there…peels come right off 🙂 Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!??!?” – Rebecca

7. Make healthy, gluten-free “veggie pasta” with this spiral vegetable cutter (just add sauce and you’re done!)
Promising Review: I’ve had this for a while now and have tried it on different things, so my review is based on experience, rather than “new owner enthusiasm.” You really get your money’s worth out of this sturdy, smart device. I have nothing but good to say about it. – Augusta

8. These non-stick oven liners that mean you NEVER have to clean your oven (or BBQ grill) again – unless you’re into that, of course.
Promising Review: “I ordered these before Thanksgiving and put them to the test the day before and the day of. My oven was on at least 350 degrees for 12 hours one day and 6 hours the next. The mat held up perfectly. No wrinkling or buckling due to the heat, no melting, and thanks to liner, my sweet potato casserole with the butter and pecan and marshmallow topping that bubbled up left no mess in my oven. Once the oven cooled, the crisp baked mess brushed right off and the mat went right back into the oven!” – Pepperite

9. The Instant Pot is the best “set it and forget it” pressure cooker we could find – it cooks 70% faster, keeps food warm for 10 hours and is super easy to clean in the dishwasher. Perfect for college students!
Promising Review: “5.0 out of 5 stars – Absolutely love it!
My favorite appliance in the kitchen. Makes cooking easy. And the food (mainly soups) tastes better compared to stove top cooking. I mainly bought it for cooking beans and broth! No more canned beans or cooking broth for 10hrs!” – Carmel

10. The fastest, easiest way to make gooey, cheesy egg sandwiches for breakfast – even BEFORE you have your coffee!
Promising Review: “I’ve been using this breakfast sandwich maker for over a year, and I really do love it. Whenever family or friends visit and happen to spend the night, they all ask me for breakfast sandwiches the next morning because they know how great they are.” – Daniel C. Hatfield

11. The original “Fasta Pasta” that cooks perfect al dente pasta in the microwave – eliminating mess, sticking, and waiting for water to boil. Rachel Ray is a fan, so it can’t be cheating!
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! I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!” – Kelsi

12. These cool-looking claws that help you shred your meat into delicious, melt-in-your-mouth pieces easily. Excellent for BBQers!
Promising Review: “They tear into a roast with simple efficiency, I stab, twist, pull and the meat just comes right off. A scissoring motion with both paws will then serve to make the big shredded chunks into smaller shredded chunks and how fine the shred winds up being is up to you, but the motion itself is simple and efficient. I even use these now to lift roasts off whatever cooking device I’m using and right onto the board for a quick shredding.” – RNCrawford

13. A “Super Pot” that PERFECTLY grills, steams, slow cooks, simmers and even SERVES your food (yes, you read that right). Do you even need a stove when you have this thing?!
Promising Review: “I read all the glowing reviews of this pan. How could anything be that good. Well, I’m here to attest that it is just that good at what it does, which is to cook almost anything perfectly. I’m staying in a hotel, out of town on business and got tired of take out food quickly. I actually thought if it had been lightly used it would already be seasoned and save me the trouble. I had some carrots and some packets of olive oil that were left over from a take out sub sandwich. In the pan they went. Four minutes later I was snacking on the most perfectly grilled sweetest baby carrots you could imagine.
Next I got a ribeye, some mushrooms and a Vidalia onion. Three minutes on each side and the steak was medium rare with awesome grill marks that looked like it came off of a flame grill. The onions were lightly browned and the mushrooms were perfect. No smoke in the room and cleaning this pan was a simple wipe out with a damp cloth.
Unbelievable! I’m going to do a pork roast next. I’ll keep you informed. Get one! You won’t be disappointed.” – Jon L

14. These scissors that are specially made for cutting herbs quickly & easily. (Especially useful if you grow your own herb garden!)
Promising Review: “These scissors are the best tool ever! Instead of chopping up my fresh herbs and scraping them into whatever dish I’m making – I just hold the herbs over the dish and clip away. Fast, convenient, no mess, no fuss. In the morning, when I’m preparing a fresh salad to take to work, instead of having to drag out the knife and cutting board I just snip the fresh basil into the salad. If you flip the cover of the scissors around, the slotted side slides out the bits stuck in the scissors. Quick, easy and no waste. Love it!” – Amazon Customer

15. One tool that chops, slices, dices, juliennes and spiralizes – AND it keeps everything neat and tidy!
Promising Review: “I’m not usually a fan of kitchen gadgets because they either don’t work as advertised or are more trouble than they’re worth when it comes to cleaning them. But this little vegetable chopper is a great little tool that does a wonderful job of chopping and dicing very quickly and uniformly. It’s also very easy to clean. I use it almost daily in my kitchen.”
– Randy Clark
