Hard to believe I now want a super cute mason jar pitcher almost as much as a KitchenAid, but here we are...

Promising review: "This blender comes with a whisk and milk frothier. Each performs amazing. I make soup often and use the blender to make it creamy smooth or thicken it without using flour. The whisk does whipped cream in a few minutes, and the frothier whips milk into the perfect consistency for an espresso latte. I will give this to relatives on special occasions." —MAM

Price: $29.97

Promising review: "My husband opened the cupboard doors, and exclaimed, "Wow!" My cupboards look so neat. I used the labels that came with. I can also mark the expiration date and the date I put the food. I didn't add any liquids to the containers so I can't swear they are leak-proof. But I bet they are. Sometimes one falls over, and the lids stays on. Because I have arthritis, I was concerned I would struggle when I opened and closed them. They were tight, and I had to ask my husband to open a few at first. But after one use, the lids were more flexible and I snap and upsnap them with ease." —ohdonna68

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.

Promising review: "I finally decided it was time to give one of these a try. I always keep chopped bell peppers and onions in my freezer to have ready for fajitas, chili, etc. I dreaded the job of chopping everything so much that sometimes I would even have to throw away bell peppers because they went bad before I got to them. So for the loss of all of those peppers, I decided to compensate by getting one of these. What would take quite a while to do in the past now just takes a few minutes. And all of the pieces look so uniform and will cook so much more evenly! I wish I would have done this so long ago!" —Paula Bond

Price: $32.99+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I love my lunch Crock-Pot. I can have a hot lunch everyday. I plug it in when I come into work and unplug it just before lunch. Everything is hot and ready. It’s great for soups and casseroles, and I even kept a BBQ sandwich still in its foil warm." —Reality Check

Price: $33.99+ (available in six colors)

I'm not kidding when I say that our electric griddle came out every single weekend when I was growing up. It's just that good.

Promising review: "I went through a few different griddles and had to return them, because they just weren't right, or didn't measure up to what they promised. This one is exactly what I needed. It's big enough, nonstick worked like magic, much easier to assemble than I thought it would be, super easy to clean. I really have no complaints. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great griddle." —Melinda Lloyd

Price: $59.99

I love my Instant Pot all year long and use it at least once a week. During colder months, I tend to make a new soup, chili, or stew every week, and in warmer months, I use it for roasting veggies, baking potatoes, cooking rice, and more! It's such an easy and quick way to meal prep for the week, or portion and freeze for easy weeknight meals, which is ~super clutch~ when you're a busy gal like me.

Promising review: "This product is my best friend and I would marry it and grow old with it if I could. I’ve put pork loins, potatoes, yellow bundt cakes, rice, corn on the cob (look up INSTANT POT MILK CORN ON COB and you will never eat it any other way again!). I’ve made pierogies, lasagna, apple dump cake, a whole chicken, bone broth, chicken noodle soup... and more. This is all in less than a month. I’m eating healthier. Eating out less. Cleanup is easy. The food tastes awesome. The pork loin never dried out after it sat on the serving tray." —sugabuga

Price: $99.95+ (available in four sizes and four styles)

Promising review: "She bought them for when we have guests over and she makes herself ice coffee and us lemonade in these. She loves the glass straws and is so happy she got them. Highly recommend!" —Neuman Alkhali

Price: $23.99 (available in with or without lids)

Promising review: "This little waffle maker has done so much better than the large, expensive ones I’ve owned. Takes up no space, and the waffles come out fluffy and brown after a minute and a half (you may have to leave them in longer to get a crisper exterior). Another successful Dash purchase (I’ve got the air fryer too)." —Octavia G.

Price: $9.99 (available in 20 styles)

Promising review: "There are some products that just change your life. The blender is mostly plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap. It is very secure. It locks onto the base with a satisfying click. The lid locks down with a similar click. Unless you have heard both clicks, the blender won't start. And good thing. The blades are very sharp. They are angled to create a vortex that instantly turns any fruits and vegetables inside into viscous liquid. I like that the spout has a lid that locks open so you can pour easily. The blades come out so that they can be cleaned easily, along with the inside of the decanter. This blender has high, medium, and low settings. You can pulse. It is loud, which I take to be a feature and not a drawback. Neither my kids nor I particularly like fruits and vegetables and as a result we don't get nearly enough. And yet I can put in 10 bananas, two cartons of strawberries, two of blueberries, a bag of spinach (yes, spinach!), a cup of plain Greek yogurt, one interrupted conversation ... and: ambrosia! The decanter is huge, and yet between the three of us we can and do empty it in one meal. Yay!" —The Wheels Go Round

Price: $99.99+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I have two complete sets of these measuring cups and spoons. We got these because we were sick and tired of the plastic ones where the measurements wear off and you can only discern them by comparisons. The measurements on these are embossed and will not wear off. When we realized the quality of these, we threw away all the plastic ones and bought a second set." —Lori F.

Price: $35.32+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "Amazing mixer. It does everything. Bread dough, cookie dough, frosting and cakes and whipping cream and meringue. It can cut thru frozen stick of butter." —Coll

Price: $379.95+ (available in 23 colors)

Promising review: "I bought this to make sorbets and dairy-free treats. This is the best machine, and you will use it after summer. All you need is a can of fruit, and it whips up the best sorbet! This is better than any sorbet I have found except in Mikonos. The possibilities are endless with this machine. I love that you can add candy or fruits to make your own blizzards. Everyone in the family loves it and requests their own. Recipe book included is easy to follow and no hard to find ingredients. You do have to freeze the base for 24 hours, but it’s worth the wait. Definitely order extra pints because it’s so easy to make you will want to make extra flavors." —Krista

Price: $299.95+ (available in three sizes, two styles, and five colors)

Promising review: "I was so tired of putting a colander in the sink and then it was in the way. This over-the-sink colander that extends is perfect and out of the way. Easy to clean, easy to dry, and easy to store! I have already put my two old colanders in my give away box. Love it!" —Elaine Rhotwein

Price: $17.99 (available in six colors and various two-packs)

Promising review: "Pouring a scalding hot pot of pasta into a colander brings back memories of said colander tipping over and pasta spilling all over the sink or the bottom portion of pasta sitting in a shallow pool of water you just poured into the sink. Not to mention the splash back when the water hits the rim or side of the colander just perfectly. This product relieved me of having to worry about those catastrophic events. Just snap onto your pot while still having two hands to control the pour." —John C

Price: $13.99+ (available in four colors)

Promising review: "I HAD to have these for my white kitchen!! I love the brand so I knew the knives would be good but I didn’t know they would be THIS good!! My picky husband was surprised!! He gave up his expensive German knive to use one of the steak knives!! I had to get used to the weight of the chef knife but it didn’t take long !!! My cuts have been better, more accurate and my diced smaller!!! I tried to make them smaller! I love these knives!!!" —Christine S.

Price: $47.07

Promising review: "I love everything about this mason jar container for iced tea. It fits in my refrigerator door, it holds the perfect amount of tea, and the lid is the best constructed one I have used. After going through a couple of pitchers, I came across this one, and I will never use another pitcher. The opening to the jar/pitcher is wide so very easy to clean. The lid screws on tightly and has a large handle. And there are clear quantity markings on the jar to measure the correct amount of water. Iced/ cold brew tea is my go-to every day in the warm weather, and this finally allows me to stop looking for the perfect iced tea/ lemonade pitcher." —bookwright724

Price: $26.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors)

Promising review: "I LOVE these mats. Excellent quality and price. There are many brands more expensive and these do the same thing. I live a low-fat, plant-based lifestyle so these mats eliminate the need and use of oil to roast vegetables, bake cookies, and other baked goods. They are so easy to clean and nonstick, so hot water and a soft rub and the mats clean them up well. I don't know how I did without them! I will never buy foil or parchment paper again. Potatoes are crispy without the use of oil too!" —Crystal Audas

Price: $12.49+ (available in two styles, two colors, and packs of two, three, and four)

Promising review: "Loooooove these mitts. Even though I like smaller fits for my hands I am in love with these large ones. The silicone is a beautiful pattern, true to color but the INSIDE- a soft quilted fabric that is so gentle on your skin. I can tell these will last for a long time and come in a gorgeous, unique color that is well worth paying full price for. I also especially love thst the solid silicone exterior is easy to clean, with none of that gunky feeling that you get from build up on fabric mitts. If you are looking to have something stand out in your kitchen and bring you joy as you cook for your family look no further." —Tristan Hoppe

Price: $16.92+ (available in 20 colors)

The jar includes the spice rack and 20 pre-filled spice jars: basil, bay leaves, celery salt, chives, cilantro, coriander, crushed mint, dill weed, fennel seed, herbes de provence, Italian seasoning, marjoram, oregano, parsley, pizza seasoning, rosemary, savory seasoning, season salt, and sea salt.

Promising review: “This spice tower has become my go-to wedding gift. How can you go wrong with giving a fully stocked spice rack to a newly married couple!? I remember when I got married that was the one expense that blew my mind. Every time I went to cook a new dish or bake something it was $20 in spices alone because I had nothing! The rack is well-made, has good starter spice quality, and looks attractive on a counter top. I’d highly recommend it.” —Gabby 


Price: $43.17

Promising review: "These are perfect for my small, storage-deprived kitchen. They stick magnetically to a refrigerator, but I also put three on the side of a metal storage cart. The claim is that they hold 8 pounds. I have about 5 pounds of jars in one of mine, and the strong magnet is holding up well. They stick on tight, but can be moved or removed, and they can go with you if you move. This is a great solution if your cabinet space is as limited as mine." —Elie H.

Price: $29.99 (available in four colors and packs of two, three, and four)

Promising review: "😍 I absolutely LOVE packing my daughters lunch in these lunch boxes.💖 The different compartments are the perfect size for her little fingers & big appetite. Once you close the lid everything is air tight. I’ve packed oatmeal, noodle soup and yogurt without a problem. 👍I have a bunch of these lunch boxes so I can meal prep some of the compartments at the beginning of the week. A few tips: It’s really easy to fill with a variety of different foods (for especially picky eaters) if you pack things together by their moisture level. For really clean crisp edges & fluffy bread use scissors to cut the bread to size before you make the sandwich. Press the lid all the way down before you close the tabs on the front. 😀 The new prints are beautiful 🦄 🧜🏽‍♀️ and my daughter loves them." —rose

Price: $29.99 (available in 30 styles)

Promising review: " Super high quality coasters, beautiful strong glass and lots of replacement dots for the bottom. Also comes with a lifetime warranty which is completely rad!" —Amber McPherson

Price: $34.99 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "These pans are amazing! All I have to say!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $39.99

Promising review: "My old tea cup broke and I found this one. I love how beautiful it is and how the lid is also a coaster for it." —Brenda Finley

Price: $13.99+ (available in five colors)

My mom was gifted one of these for Christmas. The deep purple ombre color is absolutely stunning, but it works just as great! She especially loves it for sourdough bread (the dutch oven gives such a crispy crust) and roasts. Best of all, though, she doesn't notice a difference in performance compared to the way pricier brands, like Le Creuset.

Promising review: "I was looking for an attractive, yet study pot to be able to take a hot homemade dish to a weekly potluck dinner. This totally fit the bill! Besides, the compliments on my cooking, I got so many wonderful compliments on the beautiful teal pot!" —Janet

Price: $36.44+ (available in three sizes and 12 colors)

Promising review: "Simple Modern blows Stanley out of the water! Yeti doesn’t even compare! I have been using simple, modern tumblers for years! I first stumbled upon them at Walmart, and was amazed with how long they kept my ice, cold and frozen… Absolutely love their tall, slender design! The lid securely screws on flush with the rest of the cup, and the straw is airtight and spill proof unless turned all the way upside-down… Then water would travel through the straw! Stanley does not even stand a chance in my book! I also love how the straw lid and the cup are all the same color… the overall aesthetic is 100%!" —Miss Tabetha Little

Price: $29.99 (available in 17 colors)

The set includes medium and large frying pans, saucepan with lid and steamer, a casserole pot with lid, a saute pan with lid, and a white silicone turner.

Promising review: "Did I tell you I love these? I bought the cheapest set of pots and pans I could find as a single mother, and it was at a Black Friday sale at some curtain store. Turns out they contained all kinds of toxic chemicals there were being emitted every time I cooked with them. Fast forward to trying to live a healthier life, and I came across these when there was a nice little sale on them on Amazon. Still somewhat pricey but very worth it! They cook well and the heat distribution is even. I don't really have to use nonstick cooking spray with these and they clean up so incredibly well. I am the type of person that likes to clean up immediately after dinner. Well, after recovering from knee surgery plus having a broken foot, I've let the pans sit a couple of hours before cleaning and even still, things rinse right out of them. I am so happy that I bought these. The handles aren't bamboo but seem like they are some type of rubber that are covered with a faux wood look. Just watch the edges of the pans when washing and that you don't bang them off of the inside of your sink if hand-washing, because the granite coating can come off." —Mopar5120
