Hamilton Beach 3-Cup Electric Vegetable Chopper and Mini Food Processor

This 3-cup Hamilton Beach vegetable chopper is ideal for speedy salsas and basil pesto. Its compact design packs a punch with its 350-watt motor that can chop onions, potatoes, and carrots “in seconds,” according to one buyer. With over 23,400 five-star ratings, this efficient chopper doesn’t just save time, it also saves tears since you won’t have to slice into onions anymore.

Elite Gourmet 2-Quart Slow Cooker

Shoppers love the “set-it-and-forget-it” nature of cooking with this slow cooker. One buyer was especially impressed with the “very tender” roast that this slow cooker could cook overnight. With over 27,400 perfect ratings, the machine also has a glass lid and ceramic inner pot that are both dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

Farberware Salad Spinner

Instead of buying “expensive triple-washed lettuce,” this shopper now saves money by triple-washing their lettuce with this salad spinner, which makes lettuce “perfect every time.” The pump is simple to operate and efficiently spins greens to drain moisture. The silicone top also adds more stability during use, so no need to worry about the spinner wobbling around at top speed.

Vailnd Store Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125-Pack

Shoppers call these liners a “must-have” for air fryer cooking, with one buyer sharing that it saves so much time on cleaning “regardless of what [they] put in the air fryer.” Over 30,000 buyers have bought these liners in the past month to protect their air fryers from oil splatters and stains. You can pop a liner straight into your air fryer instead of spending extra time cutting out parchment paper to size. 

Ecolution Micro-Pop Microwave Popcorn Popper

For reproducing “movie theater popcorn” at home, this buyer only trusts the Ecolution popcorn popper. This clever gadget thoroughly and efficiently pops popcorn, leaving little to no kernels behind. With a glass bowl that’s dishwasher safe, it also saves on cleanup time after you’ve enjoyed your movie snack — time to ditch your one-time-use popcorn bags for this upgrade that will save you energy and money. 

Mqnxoi Glass Oil Sprayer and Dispenser 

To achieve an even coating of oil on air-fried or roasted foods, shoppers swear by this oil sprayer and dispenser that offers “much better control,” according to one buyer. They were especially pleased with its secure sprayer nozzle that doesn’t “accumulate a dripping mess.” For just $5, this clever gadget is also great for spraying pans and muffin tins or prepping foods for grilling. 

Kitessensu Garlic Press

Time to say goodbye to painstakingly dicing garlic, only to end up with smelly fingers and a messy cutting board. This garlic press produces finely minced garlic “in seconds,” according to an amazed buyer who also appreciated the ergonomic handles. The tool is also dishwasher safe, so your hands never have to come in contact with a garlicky mess ever again.

Consevisen Vegetable Steamer Basket

With over 14,900 five-star reviews, this steamer basket makes it possible to put quick and healthy weeknight dinners on the table. The silicone feet won’t damage cookware, and the handled top makes lifting it out much smoother and safer. One buyer especially liked how easy it is to “set up, insert, and remove,” compared to multi-piece steaming pots that don’t work as well.
