Kitchen Gizmo Snap N’ Strain Silicone Pasta Strainer

I never seem to have a clean colander or enough sink space to house one. This snap-on silicone strainer solves both of those problems, saving space in your kitchen and dishwasher. The silicone gadget is heat-resistant, and the clips are super secure, so you don’t have to worry about losing your pasta down the drain.

Qpey Stainless Steel Onion Holder

While I’ve chopped many onions in my time, it still requires a lot of effort to keep my fingers safe. Plus, it’s difficult to chop perfectly uniform pieces, but that’s where this genius onion holder comes in. Push the tines into the onion and hold the vegetable down to measure even slices. You can also use it to cut other vegetables, fruit, or meat.

Aopigavi Chicken Shredder

Whether you’re making a delicious chicken salad sandwich or need some protein to add to your salad, that rotisserie chicken isn’t going to shred itself. With this handy tool, you can shred chicken in seconds — all you have to do is add the chicken to the bottom, put on the lid, and twist. It will save time during ingredient prep, and it’s dishwasher-safe.

Joseph Joseph Twist Whisk

Balloon whisks can take up a lot of space, but this innovative option from Joseph Joseph conveniently folds down for easy storage. You can even use the whisk in its flat form for more gentle blending, then twist it when you’re ready to whip. The steel whisk is coated in silicone, so it’s durable but won’t scratch your ceramic bowls or nonstick cookware.

Zulay Kitchen Stainless Steel Garlic Rocker

As someone who dislikes chopping garlic but refuses to buy the jarred version, this Zulay Kitchen Garlic Rocker is a game-changer. All you have to do is smash the stainless steel side of the tool on a clove of garlic, and it’s freshly minced in fewer steps than a traditional garlic press.

X-Chef Herb Scissors

I tend to get fatigued when meal prepping or making dishes with lots of ingredients, but these herb scissors can speed up the process and save you from washing another cutting board. They have five blades to help you quickly chop herbs for dressing, sauce, or garnish. Plus, they come with a cover that doubles as a cleaning tool for removing any leaves or stems stuck between the blades.

Norpro Strawberry Huller and Tomato Stem Corer Tool

If you like to pre-slice your strawberries or dice a lot of tomatoes at once, this unique tool helps you quickly core or de-stem fruit and vegetables for faster meal prep. Remove seeds from a cucumber or eyes from potatoes without smushing your produce or injuring your finger At only $6, the small kitchen tool is an underrated timesaver.

Bibury Egg Slicer

I love fresh egg salad, but all of the slicing and dicing deters me on days when I don’t have that much time. This convenient tool can cut your egg into thin slices or larger chunks, and you can push down the stainless steel wires twice for a finer dice. It’s easy to use and completely dishwasher-safe.

Mqnxoi Glass Oil Sprayer and Dispenser

I stopped buying cooking spray years ago, but this dual oil sprayer and dispenser would help me convert my favorite oils into a spray that’s less expensive and has fewer additives. Just fill the 16-ounce glass container with your go-to cooking oil, and you can drizzle it on a salad or spray onto your frying pan. The olive oil dispenser even comes with sticker labels, so you can change out the type of oil or buy a few.

OXO Good Grips Citrus Zester With Channel Knife

For zesting lemons or garnishing cocktails, the OXO Good Grips Zester is an underrated, multifunctional tool worth adding to your utensil drawer. Slide the top holes across a lemon or lime for zest, or dig in with the side blade for larger strips. It may not be a gadget you reach for every day, but it will be one that comes in handy for holiday hosting.

Tovolo Mini Ice Cylinder, 2-Pack

Ice is a must in my kitchen, but cracking a standard plastic ice cube tray often means that a few cubes end up on the floor. However, these flexible silicone ice molds keep everything contained and release cubes more easily. Fill each tube with water, add the lid, and freeze. Later, remove from the freezer and squeeze the container, and you’ll have a bucket of ready-to-use, mini cubes — no more digging stray ice out from under the fridge.

Cyx Stainless Steel Egg Beater

A good morning starts with scrambled eggs, and this self-propelling whisk will help you get food on the table quicker. All you have to do is push up and down on the uniquely shaped beater, and it will spin without batteries or an unnecessary cord. Your eggs will be ready to cook, and you won’t even have a sore arm.
