1. A hanging garbage bag holder that'll make you say, "Well, why didn't I think of that?" Just sweep any food scraps right in as you're cooking, and it won't crowd your counter space.
2. A splatter guard aptly named "Frywall" to keep the grease contained when you're grilling a burger or piece of salmon. It's got you covered — literally.
3. A handy gadget for slicing a bunch of cherry tomatoes (or grapes or olives) at once. No more painstakingly slicing them one by one!
4. A spill stopper so starchy foods (like pasta and potatoes — the best foods) don't boil over and create a giant mess you have to clean up after dinner...or the next day.
5. A clip-on strainer to prevent your food from falling into the sink — and without needing to haul out the full-size colander. This is especially handy if you're cooking for just one or two people.
6. A cutting board with a bottom tray for catching chopped veggies, run-off juices, or scraps. Bonus for BBQ season: you can also use the tray to marinate meats.
7. A set of stackable refrigerator storage bins so you can actually see all your snacks and ingredients at a glance. It's satisfying, space-saving, and waste-reducing (because you'll end up reaching for more of the food when it's not hidden).
8. A collapsible multipurpose stand that's primarily a bottle drying rack — but can also serve as a plastic bag holder. It's made of solid steel so it's actually very sturdy and stable.
9. A set of stove counter gap covers to keep crumbs (and liquids) from falling into the unreachable abyss.
10. A brush and squeegee combo for swiping spills and scraps from the counter into the sink. And it'll easily rinse clean after, unlike a rag or paper towel.
11. A cold brew maker so you can make delicious, cafe-quality iced joe at home instead of spending $$$ at a coffee shop. Plus, this will actually look cute sitting in your fridge.
12. A slotted fish turner that's definitely not just for fish — reviewers say it'll effortlessly slide under anything like burger patties, warm cookies, fried eggs, and more. It's flippin' awesome.
13. A sleek digital food scale to pull out when you need to be extra accurate with coffee or baking ingredients. Any baker knows that guesstimating can produce... questionable results.
14. A microwave pasta cooker for making dinner in minutes, because some days you're so hungry that the regular way just takes too darn long and requires too many pots and pans.
15. A perforated washing bowl so rinsing rice and produce won't be a draining process.
16. A two-stage knife sharpener that'll restore dull blades to a razor sharp state. And when you're done, it'll fit nicely in the drawers.
17. A silicone freezing tray to get perfect individual portions of homemade broth, chili, smoothies, or pasta sauce. It's simply ideal for your weekly meal prep.
18. A manual food chopper for breaking up ground meats, mashing potatoes, or cutting up hard-boiled eggs.
19. A space-saving under-cabinet jar opener reviewers say actually works — on bottles and jars of all sizes — and isn't gimmicky.
20. A pack of scrubby dishcloths that won't get soggy and stinky or fall apart like sponges. Reviewers say these are durable and last for a long time.
21. A 4-in-1 chopper to make slicing, dicing, and spiralizing 👏 so 👏 much 👏 easier. Reviewers say it's game-changing for prep and has even encouraged them to eat more veggies.
22. A silicone spoon rest for catching dripping sauce while also keeping your utensils separate and secure. It'll be one less thing to worry about in a chaotic kitchen. You know, like the time you offered to make a three-course meal for your in-laws.
23. A set of magnetic stainless-steel measuring spoons (with a leveler!) so you never again have to deal with that annoying ring holder. These come apart as easily as they can be stored together in your drawers — without individual spoons getting lost.
24. A handheld milk frother that probably attended barista school because it'll help you whip up a cappuccino that looks and tastes incredibly ~profesh.~
25. An adjustable baggy rack to hold storage bags open while you scoop food into them (which means less spillage on the counter and the floor).
