The liners are nonstick, reusable, dishwasher safe, and heat-resistant up to 500 degrees. You can even use these in toaster ovens and on the grill like this reviewer:

Promising review: "These liners are life-changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut down to size to fit my toaster oven also. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, as he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil which he found so annoying, deterring him from grilling. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Melissa

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I have a thing for slow cookers because they’re *incredibly* helpful — but cleaning that huge stoneware is a total nightmare and, honestly, keeps me from using it as often as I should. Years ago I picked up a box of Reynolds slow-cooker liners and have been using them since. They make cleanup SO EASY that I feel a little guilty about it. And I don’t have a dishwasher, so that’s a pretty big deal. I recently made some delicious slow-cooker bread using the liner instead of parchment paper, with no effect on the taste of the bread! I’ve also used them for chili, soup, barbecue pork, and other substantially messier recipes with no problem. Thanks to these babies, I see many more slow-cooker meals in my future."

Promising review: "Why? Why would you want to scrub your giant slow cooker? Well, now you don't have to — these liners are the perfect solution for your slow cooker needs. Simply place it in your slow cooker like you would a trash bag, add all of your ingredients, cook, and then when you're all done...just trash the liner! I've been using these for years and I will never go back to scrubbing the tough cooked-on food from the day's cooking. I have never once had a liner with a leak and I really feel like Reynolds has helped make kitchen cleanup so much easier with this smart product." —Katie B.

Promising review: "We love this rice maker! Prep time in just minutes. This has saved us so much time, especially when we need dinner done quick! The rice comes out fully cooked. In the beginning, it may take a few tries, since all microwaves are different, (setting at 800) as recommended, you'll eventually know what amount of rice goes with what amount of water, etc. 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; afterwards, just pop in dishwasher...no hard rice scraping to do. We've purchased other Lekue products and love them too! Highly recommend!" —Ani

Hustle & Sew is a small Etsy shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.

Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina

Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).

It even comes with a foil cutter!

Promising review: "Way easier than struggling trying to pry a cork out with a traditional corkscrew. Just insert the needle straight into the cork and pump a few times with your hand over the apparatus until the cork starts to work out, then another pump or two, and pop, the cork is in your hand. The little thing for cutting the top of the foil off the bottle is very slick too. This is the easiest way to open wine I have ever seen, short of having the waiter do it." —Finestkind

Get it from Amazon for $9.77+ (available in three colors and in 10-packs).

Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl and then there are savages. It’s like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that. I feel like society moved one step closer to true enlightenment with this invention. It really is the cats meow, and keeps our cat from licking the butter!" —Mike

Get it from Amazon for $25.15+ (available in four styles).

StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.

Promising review: "This is amazing and I have no idea I didn’t buy one of these years ago!!! My new stove wouldn’t get close enough to the wall to allow me to rest anything on top without it falling behind. This was absolutely PERFECT. I am very happy that the magnets provided were able to be moved. This allowed me to place them perfectly for maximum hold because my top was slightly curved." —JStill

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors and three sizes from 20" to 30").

Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Suazo has been using these reusable K-Cups for years now and loves them: "Every once in a while, my old Keurig 2.0 (I've since upgraded) would give me an error message indicating it was not a K-pod and therefore could not be used, but after slightly adjusting the pod and closing the top again, it would work just fine! I now have the Keurig K-Elite and haven't had this issue arise. All in all, these are a wonderful way to use less plastic! I also enjoy ground coffee and find it fresher than K-pods, so you really can't go wrong with these!"

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.45 (also available in a four-pack).

Promising review: "This chopper is amazing!! I love cooking, but used to absolutely HATE chopping onions... 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... I think the capacity is 3 cups. There's tons of other uses to this as well... you can chop pretty much anything from herbs, veggies and fruits, to making salsa and guacamole." —Valjulia

Get it from Amazon for $18.18 (available in three colors).

Check out the cereal dispenser on TikTok.

Promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to declutter and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter, and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle

Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

Promising review: "I love this product. Just hold the separator with one hand, crack the egg on the ridge with the other, swirl the yoke until all the egg white has poured out, then dump the yoke in the trash or sink. If they had these in a two- or four-egg model, I'd buy it. By far the best yoke/white separator I've owned." —Ajobe

Get it from Amazon for $6.39.

The curved edge can also be used for chopping herbs if you'd rather not dirty up a knife!

Promising review: "I had no idea how much I needed this gadget until I got it. I thought it might still require a gentle touch to strip some herbs, but not at all; I ripped through 1/2 pound of thyme in about 15 minutes. Plus, I got at least twice as much herb as I normally do, as this did the job without becoming super bored and only half-heartedly trying to finish. Yay." —Leah Woodard

Get it from Amazon for $7.66.

Promising review: "This as delightful in person as it was in the photos. He jauntily holds our spoons and spatulas and always makes us smile. Just bought a second to bring laughter to a friend, much needed during these trying times." —Megan A.

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors).

This stain- and odor-resistant gadget is from small business Talisman Design!

Promising review: "Dealing with bacon grease is always a problem. Years ago when camping, bacon was always a staple, and we used a disposable container for the grease and allowed it to solidify. This is well designed IMO and sturdy enough to take the hot grease without melting." —Doc Fair

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).

It comes with a beechwood spatula, custom stainless-steel steamer basket, modular lid, and of course, the pan.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman swears by hers: "I love my Our Place pan. It's a beautiful sage color that isn't an eyesore on my stovetop. I also really love the steamer basket, which is great for frozen dumplings, and the nesting spatula. No more sauce and grease dripping from the spoon all over the counter!" (Psst — check out our full Always Pan review for more deets on why we love it!)

Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "I had my doubts but I thought, what the heck, for the price I'd give them a try. I am in real estate and known as a lighting snob. The first thing I look at in a kitchen if there is under-cabinet lighting. These are so nice (it helps if you have a lip at the bottom of your cabinets). They are a true white, very bright, and I was lucky they were just the length I needed. I just ordered a set and had them shipped to my mom's as her halogen transformer, which is buried in a wall, fried and it drives me nuts that the workspace on the counter is dark. I can't wait until I make the 250-mile drive to install them. I may buy more just to use at our listings!" —pauly

Get a 10-foot strand with 60 lights from Amazon for $19.80 (available in cool or warm white).

You can simply place the deodorizer on the shelf or use the included suction cup to hang it (however, some people report the suction cup falling down over time, so you could also use a Command hook if needed). A bag lasts up to two years with proper care — once a month, just place it outside in the sun for an hour for rejuvenation.

Promising review: "There was something in our refrigerator that smelled awful. I cleaned it all out, scrubbed it well, discarded all left over food and inspected and sniffed everything else. Yet, STILL, an odor lingered. I tried baking soda, quit buying onions... I thought to search Amazon for some odor-eliminating product, hit upon this little packet, and decided to try it. The packet has no scent. It does not work by masking odor. It eliminated it! 24 hours after placing this in the refrigerator, the odor was gone, like it had never been there. It requires placing in the sun once a month to refresh. I have done this already. Even wintry freezing days don’t matter — just put it out on a sunny day for a few hours, and it’s ready to go for another month. This thing works!" —readsalot

Get it from Amazon for $8.95 (also available in packs of two and three).

This spice rack has three rows holding 18 glass bottles (which are included), and I've been using two of them stacked on top of each other since 2018. The height of two racks stacked has fit *perfectly* under the kitchen cabinet in both apartments I've lived in since then, and to secure the two together, I just used a couple of clear zipties on each side (shoutout to this reviewer for the idea) — they stack extremely well and are sturdy. But even if you only opt for one to hold your essentials, I can't recommend this spice rack enough. Its design is elegant and space-efficient (the latter being a major plus in my compact New York City apartment).

You'll receive 48 blank labels with the spice rack, but you can also buy cuter labels separately if you'd like (I got round chalkboard labels and a chalk marker to make my own — this kit is similar to what I got). Anyone who's ever gone digging in their spice cabinet to find the exact spice you need get get the appeal of having all the labels facing your way and at grabbing distance, but it's also just a super cute thing to have in your kitchen. I've gotten countless compliments on my spice rack from visitors over the years, and I'm just as pleased with it as I first was years ago.

Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in two styles).

These foam liners help cut down mold by absorbing excess water and providing your fruits/veggies better air circulation.

Promising review: "I can’t say enough good things about this product! I absolutely love them. I’m a big fan of prolonging the life of my fresh produce, and these def have helped in that quest! I use them in both my fridge drawers and in my hang baskets for my other produce. It keeps my apples fresher for longer at room temperature, and I even noticed I got an extra day or two from my avocados while using these!" —Ibeth

Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99.

The paper breathes just the right amount, maintaining the perfect humidity and mimicking the environment that cheese is aged in.

Promising review: "Before I bought this cheese paper I would do the cheese search in the refrigerator. After buying cheeses, opening them, and then rewrapping them in heaven knows what (namely plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic containers), it was always the same result: moldy cheese. This box contains the paper in sheets plus some stickers that you can write on with the name of the cheese and the date it was wrapped or even sell by date. There are also pictures of a sheep, cow, and goat so the source can be identified by circling or checking one of them! What I also like is that the cheeses can be rewrapped after use and amazingly the stickers still stick! The paper can also be cut to size to wrap smaller cheeses. So far I have noted that the cheeses have stayed fresh with not a trace of mold. I highly recommend this product to all cheese lovers!" —prairie woman

Get a package of 15 11"x14" sheets of cheese paper from Amazon for $15 (also available in larger packs).

Promising review: "What took them so long?? Every household should have one of these. Does your partner point to the dishwasher and ask you, 'Hey, are these good?' Mine did, almost daily. Not anymore, though! A breeze to install (our dishwasher is magnetic, but I'm really glad it came with adhesive pads — someday when we move, if we need them we have them!), and even though I bought it (mostly) as a joke, I use the heck out of it. Slides easily when it needs to." —Andrea Braun

Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in three styles).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord has owned the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker for upward of two years and says she's used it faithfully every week: "I especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it." Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!

Promising review: "I can't believe this thing actually works so well. In fact, I will be buying one for many friends/family as a gift. In just a few minutes, you can have your choice of a two- to three-egg omelet, two poached eggs, or SIX boiled eggs (your choice of soft, medium, or hard). The boiled eggs peel easier than any other egg I've ever peeled in my life. I love this little gadget! My 10-year-old daughter loves using the egg cooker to make omelets and poached eggs. Sometimes she'll even make an omelet and chop it up to use for breakfast burritos. Couldn't be happier with this purchase... I truly expected another gadget fail to take up space in the cupboard!" —B-Mon30

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in eight colors).

Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.

Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone, and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in two lid colors).

This colander can expand from 14.5 to 19.5 inches. It's top-rack dishwasher-safe as well! Many people just leave it sitting on their sink so they're not constantly having to reach in a cabinet for their colander.

Promising reviews: "Absolutely perfect!! I have a strangely sized sink so traditional colanders are too large, and it sits at at angle so normal dish drainers just spill everywhere. This is fantastic! I leave it on my sink for cleaning fruits but also drying my dishes. Highly recommend this to anyone! Very well made, not a flimsy material at all." —Faith

"This is something you don’t know that you need until you get one. I found this accidentally and ordered it because it looked interesting and cute (I love the pink color). And I’m so glad I did! Now I don’t have to pull out a colander from the cabinet all the time, it’s always there! Also it gives me more space to cook in my small kitchen, just to place ingredients while cutting other things. For the price, it’s surprisingly sturdy." —Grace A.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six colors and in two packs).

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite things I have purchased for our tiny apartment! It's a pretty good size cutting board and I can see it fitting over most sinks. I LOVE the bowl inside that can let wet ingredients drain liquid directly into the sink. It's seriously SO nice to have this when you're limited on counter space!" —Atara

Get it from Amazon for $22.27+ (available in two colors).

The built-in spout also makes it great for draining grease into a small container when you're cooking meat, for instance.

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good about this strainer. It fits all my pots from small to huge, even frying pans! I have strainers, colanders, every kind of lid converter...this strainer is the best ever. When the pot is too heavy for me to hold to drain off the water, with this I can still hold on with both hands, and then when it is mostly drained, I set the pot in the sink to continue to drain (fidgety pastas) Washes up like a dream, or toss in the dishwasher. I do not know how I lived without this strainer. Now I can get rid of probably 20 items out of my kitchens!" —SGA

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four colors).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer bought this for her white porcelain sink and says she's texted five people about it since. "It cleans beautifully, but the *best* is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here."

Promising review: "This amazing product saved us $1,000. This product is amazing! We have a kitchen sink that was so stained and scratched that we were shopping around for a new one. My wife stumbled on this product and we decided to give it a try. I used my drill with a soft buffing attachment, and after about 30 minutes, the sink was like brand new!! Highly recommend this product." —Joseph Rodriguez

Get it from Amazon for $10.60 (also available in packs).

Promising review: "So, not gonna lie, I found out about these through a BuzzFeed article on Facebook talking about 'the best things to buy from Amazon for under 10 bucks' or something along those lines. Well, I'm glad I did it! I figured since they are so cheap, it was worth the risk and if it didn't work, no harm no foul. Super easy to use, very convenient and quick. They got rid of all those nasty smells in my disposal; PLUS, like others have said, it left the inside of our disposal sparkling! I don't think the disposal in our apartment has ever been cleaned and with just one of these packets, it was like brand new. I was seriously impressed. Of course, I tried all the other methods: vinegar, lemons, baking soda, etc. And they worked! But they didn't really scrub down in there very well. These? They do the trick! Save yourself the heartache and splurge! I promise you won't be sorry. :)" —Kat K.

Get a bag of four from Amazon for $3.22+ (available in two packaging styles).

They *guarantee* that each scrubber sponge will stay odor-free for at least three months. These are also available in a version designed to clean your stovetop!

Promising review: "My girlfriend has a keen nose for mildew, which meant we were throwing out kitchen sponges well before they were worn out. I came across these and was very happy with the first ones we tried. Absolutely no odor, even after several weeks worth of usage. The scrubber will break down long before it starts to smell. A definite winner in my book!" —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.95.

These BPA-free plastic containers are designed with an airtight leak-proof seal with a secure latch to keep their contents fresh for longer. They're also designed to be stackable, making them space-efficient as well! I upgraded to see-through containers for some of my dry goods forever ago and can't recommend it enough. It's SO helpful and looks great — I often get compliments from visitors on mine.

Promising review: "I previously purchased the Oxo push-button containers and I found that the lid just slipped off of the flour container because the flour coated it and made the rubber ring not grip. That will never be a problem with these containers because of the locking mechanism. They are fantastic! They have a lifetime warranty and are guaranteed not to leak. I highly, highly recommend these! I've already purchased a second set. And while not advertised strongly enough, they are MADE IN THE USA!!" —whosaysidontcook

Get the 20-piece set (10 containers with 10 lids) from Amazon for $52.90 (also available in smaller and larger sets).

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home organization products.

Promising review: "I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have to play storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf — I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product!" —Laura

Get it from Amazon for $13.42+ (available in five sizes).

It has a built-in timer and uses four AA batteries.

Check out a TikTok of the automatic pan stirrer in action.

Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25+ (available in a rechargeable or battery-powered version).

To clean your oven, apply the scrub over the oven surface including the interior glass, scrub with a metallic or scouring sponge, then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.

Everneat is a Fairfield, Connecticut-based Etsy shop filled with natural cleaning products and tools.

Promising review: "LOVE IT! Oven door is a constant struggle. I hate chemical cleaners, so I thought I would try this. I bought the Lift scent and the unscented. The Lift smells fantastic, natural, not chemically, and the Clear truly is unscented. Works beautifully! I think the combo of grit in the scrub plus the metal scrubbie are magic together. I wore nitrile gloves and the scrubbie did end up poking a hole in them, so keep that in mind if you just got a mani or don’t want rough nails — use thick gloves. It does require elbow grease, because, hello, baked on bits of grease! But was very simple to use. Just smeared it on, added a little H2O to the scrubbie and went to town. Very impressed! I used not even 5% of one jar (for just the very dirty door) so it seems like it will last a while. Way better than BKF and wipes off easily. LOVE IT!!" —aniebauer

Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).

Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine, per instructions, and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! My glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I can even put it on my Subscribe & Save order so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" —Sheila

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.98.

Promising review: "I know — it is a little strange to love a veggie brush but the bristles have just the right stiffness and 'give' to clean potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc. I haven't used it on corn-on-the-cob yet but I think it will do quite well without damaging the kernels. (If not, I'll do a follow up on this review.) As with most OXO products, it is ergonomically designed and even fits in my smaller, chunky hands — so much so, I believe it would be good tool for arthritic cooks." —D. Lofthus

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." —Cetaceous Dave

Get it from Amazon for $9.89 (also available in packs of two and three).

Promising review: "Definitely get one of these if you're thinking about it. I was skeptical, but it really works. I do a lot of cooking with garlic and onion and after one wash with this, my hands no longer smell like garlic or onions. Really worth having in the kitchen." —Nos

Get it from Amazon for $9.59 (available in three styles).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga owns one of these and says, "I bought this for myself (since I'm clearly a REAL adult) and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually when my husband makes sauce from scratch I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom. My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer."

Promising review: "I’ve been a fan of the SinkShroom and TubShroom, and this is the best product from the line so far. My kitchen sinks simply do not clog any more, so there’s no more reaching into a bunch of water to unclog anything with my hand." —Brady Amerson

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in two-packs).

See it in action and why it's called a "kitchen must-have" on TikTok!

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it!! No regrets! The workmanship is top of the line. The durability and quality of the material guarantees that this product will last the test of time. What I appreciate most about this product is the money I am saving on dish soap. I only need one or two pumps to wash a sink of dishes. I am conserving and not over using soap. I love it!!! This product is a must have for every kitchen. It will be a product you will not be able to live without." —Martha Servin

Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in three colors).

You can also use this to safely cut bagels and slices of meats that you're trying to cut through the middle of!

Promising review: "This item is the best kitchen helper. First time using it I was apprehensive about it really working, but it works like a charm. Put my tomatoes in first literally slicing them immediately, then my green olives...perfect. I know I will be making more salads and healthy veggie trays with this food cutter." —Mrs. Cynthia A. Sager

Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

The best part? The lid closes *slowly* so it doesn't make that loud BANG every time. You can get three-packs of odor filters for $24.99 — each filter last about three months.

Promising review: "Easy to use foot pedal. Doesn't hit the wall and can be pushed all the way against the wall. Trash bag when put on can be tucked in between pull out and outer can so you don't see it when its closed. Great size and I love the slow close lid. Seems very well made and looks great. Highly recommend." —Amber

Get an 8-gallon trash can from Amazon for $93.49 (available in three colors and multiple sizes).

Anything that makes eating more greens easier is worth it, IMO. This spinner has a smart, wobble-free design, and the corners make it easy to pour the excess water out neatly!

Promising review: "I am a chef, have been for many years. I have used many salad spinners, some good, some not. This one is the best by far that I have used. Made well, easy to use and even can be stopped with the push of a button. I like the push/pull handle that makes it spin. It works better than the turn handle. I highly recommend this product!" —Victoria K. Jones

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

They're *also* great for air drying bags you've washed out to reuse.

Promising review: "I used three of these to help me make freezer meals for after I have a baby. I can honestly say I don't know how I would have filled the freezer bags without these ingenious baggy holders. I was able to dump veggies, spices, meat, and cans of heavy beans and tomatoes into the bags, and they stood up the entire time without sliding or spilling. One of the bags I stuffed literally to the brim, as full as it could go, and the bag did not fall down. I would definitely recommend these." —Tom S.

It might seem silly, but this little tool has over 26,000 5-star ratings from reviewers who say it's truly a game-changer. If you love avocado but dread cutting one, this'll have you enjoying the popular green fruit with ease.

Promising review: "Avocado? Yes, Please! This tool is awesome. Easy to cut open the fruit. Pit remover works well, just push onto the pit and give it a twist, and the pit pops right out. The best part is the slicer. Makes beautiful slices for a great presentation. The tool can then be used to scrape any remaining fruit out of the skin. Really happy I bought this!" —NPR Man
