It hold up to four cups of batter at a time.
Promising review: “One of our traditions is for me to make pancakes every Saturday morning. And, try as I might, I couldn’t avoid batter drips all around the stove top and surrounding counters. This little jewel solved the problem. Only the tiniest leakage, and that was into my spoon rest on which I placed it after each use. Easy to control pancake-size. Cleaned up perfectly in the dishwasher.” —Rev Rider

2. A pizza stone to fool your guests into thinking you ordered from a fancy pizzeria.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I love my pizza stone. Frozen pizzas from the grocery store actually get a nice crisp crust, never soggy like before. I keep the stone in the bottom shelf of my oven when not in use and it helps regulate the oven temp. I’ve noticed other things like oven fries come out crispier and less soggy when I do this. I highly recommend this!” —Chelsea

4. A Ninja coffee maker so you can brew a full pot of ground coffee OR a single-serve K-cup in the same machine. It’s a major space saver and will basically turn your kitchen into your new favorite coffee spot.
Daniel Boan/BuzzFeed
I recently had the chance to try this out and I am OBSESSED. It’s by Ninja, the brand behind my favorite air fryer that I use at least once a week, so I knew their version of a coffee maker wouldn’t let me down — and I was right. I first used it to brew up a pot of the cheap-yet-trusty Folgers coffee I always have in my cabinet — and it came out sooooo much stronger and richer than it does in the $20 coffee maker I was previously using. However, the K-Cup attachment is truly where the magic lies. It starts brewing up a cup in mere seconds and has several brew options to choose from, including a ‘rich’ setting for a bolder flavor and an ‘over ice’ setting that makes it strong enough to stand up to melting ice cubes.
My favorite feature is the attached milk frother, which swings out from the side and is super easy to use. Just place the attachment in a cup filled with hot or cold milk, push the button on top to lightly froth for about 30 seconds, then pour it on top of your coffee to add a cloud-like layer of foam. My at-home coffee game has been seriously upgraded — I don’t think I can ever go back to my old $20 machine.
Promising review: “Can’t say enough great things about this coffee maker!!! It’s amazing!!! Brews fast. The design of it makes it so easy to use. The automatic switching between k-cup, grounds, and even hot water is super easy. Love that you don’t have to clean out machine to get hot water and water definitely gets hot! Milk frother is great! Excellent durability of the carafe. So worth the buy!! You won’t regret it!!!” —Willow N.
Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (also available with various accessories and without the frother).
5. Or a bestselling French press for the caffeine connoisseur who would never dream of using a regular drip coffee maker. It’s also simple enough for beginners, so you’ll become a proud coffee snob in no time. It’s racked up more than 29,000 rave ratings for providing a super strong brew and being easy to clean. (The plunger easily disassembles!) Oh, and it’s also great for loose tea!
Never used a French press before? Start by adding ground coffee, then pour in hot water, let steep for three minutes, then press the plunger down and start sipping!
Promising review: “In short, the coffee is markedly better than my electric drip coffee maker. The physical design of the press is sleek, and the directions are simple and informative. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first few forays into French press coffee!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (also available as a cold brew maker and an espresso maker).
6. A handheld milk frother so you can try all those delicious-looking latte recipes you’ve seen on TikTok. For the cost of about three cappuccinos, you can whip up all the frothed milk topping you could ever want.
This requires two AA batteries (not included).
Promising review: “This makes the creamiest froth ever! I am completely blown away by the results of this device. I had no idea that I could make froth at home like this. This changes my whole cappuccino experience!!!” —Wells Family
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 21 colors).
7. A stuffed burger press to seriously upgrade your grilling game. This gadget creates a perfect little pocket in your patty that you can stuff to your heart’s desire.
Amazon, amazon.com
Start by pressing a space into the first layer of meat, add your toppings, then use the press tool to add your second layer.
Promising review: “Love to grill burgers and my wife loves to stuff our veal/lamb/pork/beef burgers with all sorts of cheeses and veggies. Problem has been that sometimes the burgers crumble on the grill and don’t look so appetizing when served. No more. The burger press burgers are loaded up but look just perfect when plated or laid on a big roll. And I don’t have to worry about them on the grill. You can really load them up and they cook perfectly. Simple but great product.” —Jerry O’Connor
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
8. A bottle of Krud Kutter that does exactly that: cuts through the crud. It’s nontoxic and fragrance-free, so you can safely spray it on any food-prep surfaces.
Just spray and wipe clean! You can also let it sit for a few minutes for caked-on messes.
Promising review: “I used this all over my kitchen and it worked great. While I was in the cleaning mood, I decided to try to conquer the inside door of my oven. I didn’t realize how baked on that grease was!!! Well, I sprayed the Krud Kutter and let it rest for about five minutes. Took a brillo pad and with just a few scrubs the inside glass door of my oven was sparkling clean. Great product.” —Lisa De
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
9. A bottle of pre-mixed Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser to help you remove stains and burnt-on food with ease — meaning you can quickly get your stove top to look like less of a disaster.

Basically every recipe ever calls for garlic — and this nifty tool crushes it into an easy-to-use paste. It even comes with a rolling tube to help peel your bulbs without getting it all over your fingers.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have had it for over a year with no problems. No sticking of the handles, no rust, easy to clean. I use it daily if not several times a day as I cook meals for two other households as well, so honestly at times it gets used 15x a day when cooking up monthly meals.” —Cymbeline
Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in five colors).
11. A gas range cleaning spray — it takes just seconds to cut through grime and grease and eliminate any evidence that your roommates are total slobs. Now, I’m just projecting. Just spray it on and wipe away — or leave it on for 30 minutes if you’re dealing with caked-on nastiness.
This stuff is THE TRUTH. My roommate is the best, but let’s just say wiping down the stove after cooking is not one of her favorite activities. I’m not particularly fond of doing the dishes, so I guess we’re even. Anyways, I spray this on a few times a week, let it sit for about five minutes, then wipe with a cloth and it removes EVERYTHING. Like, every little spot of caked-on grease and burnt crumbs come off with just one wipe.
Promising review: “I was having a hard time getting the oil spatters off of my stainless steel gas stove. I read the reviews about this and decided to try it. It works really well. Not streaky. I’m very pleased.” —D. Binkey
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.16.
12. A cleaning kit that’ll make your ceramic cooktop look as shiny and flawless as the day you moved in. The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains.
Promising review: “As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn’t believe it! We had a new stove that I didn’t clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this, it looks like my stove could be brand-new.” —Christi Lambertson
Get it from Amazon for $11.48.
13. Or an all-natural oven scrub made with gritty pumice stone so you can really go to town on that pizza that exploded and left a mess everywhere. It’ll even clean all the hard-to-reach spots on your racks and oven door.
Promising review: “Finally tackled the rings on our stove top with this scrub and a reusable paper towel (as I was worried about using a scourer on an easily scratched surface) and the rings came right off! These are those ‘oh crap, the pot boiled over’ rings that I ignored that led to my stove top looking a bit crusty. The oven scrub ate them right off and left my oven and stove top looking great.” —Jessie Bono
Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in cleaning products.
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
14. A pack of scrubbing pads to tackle everything from your stove top to your oven doors without leaving behind any accidental scratches or pesky streaks. Simply add your favorite cleaning solution, buff messes away with the pads, then wipe clean with a paper towel.
15. A spill stopper so you can finally turn your back for one second without worrying about your pot of pasta boiling over and making a mess everywhere.
Psst! Just remember to remove from the heat source before removing if water is boiling. This can handle heat up to 482 degrees F.
Promising review: “Love this product! It does exactly what it is designed to do. It really works, has prevented many boil-overs for me. I can now make my oatmeal, pasta, or chicken broth without any worry of a messy spill-over. I no longer have to stand near the stove to watch for the boil-over point, I can do other things or get distracted while this marvelous invention takes care of whatever I am simmering or boiling. It is a great value, you get two of them and I gave one to my son who cooks. It is also easy to clean, you can pop the yellow flower off for easier cleaning.” —Hey Mom
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors).
16. A set of silicone muffin liners that are easy to wash and reuse. The silicone material means your muffins and cupcakes will glide right out so you can immediately get to snacking.
These are oven-safe for up to 446 degrees F.
Promising review: “I absolutely love these things. Can’t believe I waited so long to try them. They don’t come clean in my dishwasher for some reason, but hand-washing is probably better for them anyway. The jumbo size in particular is my favorite, but I have used them all. The others are about the same size as the disposable liners and the little rectangular ones are perfect for brownies and cute little banana bread muffins. May get a second set so I will have enough to do a full batch of cupcakes in one type.” —Teresa A.
Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in packs of 12, 24, and 30).
17. An easy-to-use circular sandwich cutter so you can make your own crustless PB&J without overpaying for those frozen versions. Just make your sandwich as usual (but put most of the ingredients toward the middle!), then press down and reveal your delicious disc of peanut butter goodness.
Promising review: “Our daughter is very crust-phobic and this doesn’t waste much of the bread. Works perfectly.” —Richard B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in various colors and shapes).
18. A rapid egg cooker to help you quickly cook all of those eggs sitting in your fridge before they go bad. Whether you like ’em boiled, poached, or scrambled, this little device does it all.
You can fit up to six eggs in the device at a time.
Promising review: “If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Soft boiled eggs took me about 11 minutes to make. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there…peels come right off 🙂 Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!??!?” —rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in six colors).
19. A cold brew maker that’s so easy to use and will save you tons of money by eliminating your daily iced coffee run.
Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed
Just add coarse-ground coffee into the mesh filter, pour water into the pitcher, screw the lid on (with the filter attached and submerged in the water), let it brew for 12–24 hours, and serve. You can pour it straight over ice cubes, or cut it with water or milk. Read our review of the Tayeka cold brew maker!
Promising review: “This coffee maker is my BEST FRIEND! I use this everyday, it’s so easy to use! My coffee comes out perfect every time. I’m a cold coffee drinker and I put about 8–10 scoops of freshly ground coffee into the filter. I let it sit overnight and the next morning, I remove the filter and dump the grounds. It makes four days worth of coffee and I love that it’s ready to go for me, especially since I wake up at 4:50 a.m. and I need to make my coffee quickly! It’s very easy to clean as well.” —Panda
Get it from Amazon for $22.39+ (available in two sizes and two materials).

20. An electric hot pot so you can whip up some stews, noodles, and sautéd meats and veggies without even using the stove! It has low and high settings, a nonstick surface, and holds 1.5 liters — making it perfect for single servings.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “This has been perfect to use temporarily as we are waiting to have our insulation fixed and don’t want to turn on the gas stove and heat up the house. So far I am impressed and have cooked hamburger meat for tacos, eggs, various sausages, sautéed vegetables or steamed vegetables using the steamer in a short amount of time. I use the steamer function for a type of rice cake also and I am floored. It takes no time for the water to boil in this. Water boils super fast-much faster than the stove. I highly recommend this if you are a college student for your dorm room. It is very lightweight. So many meals I still need to try cooking in this, but so far I am very happy with it.” —sebn1111
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in five colors and with a steamer).
21. A plant-based cleaner that can finally wipe away those pesky fingerprints and grease marks that are making your stainless steel appliances look extra grimy. It also leaves behind a lovely lavender scent and a layer of coconut oil to help prevent future fingerprints!
Promising review: “If you have a Sub-Zero fridge, you know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping it clean. It’s a different type of stainless steel and shows all product residue. Then I found this stuff. Oh wow! A few seconds of polishing and it looks amazing!! it has never looked this good, this shiny, and this clean! Best product ever!” —Katerina
Get the cleaner and a microfiber cloth from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two sizes and a two-pack).
22. A soft-serve maker to turn frozen fruit into an ice cream-like dessert without all the hassle of making actual homemade ice cream. Just add the frozen fruit of your choice to the chute, push down with the plunger, and watch as a creamy, soft-serve-like concoction makes its way into your bowl. Reviewers say it’s perfectly creamy and easy to use.
Promising review: “I saw one of these in action at a friend’s house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally, this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use.” —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $39.94+ (available in six colors).
23. A corn stripper so you can enjoy some delicious corn without the pesky cob. It’s perfect for saving a few coins and making your own Chipotle bowls at home. Just insert your piece of corn and twist it through!
Promising review: “I bought this to help me prepare corn for freezing and canning. I honestly wasn’t expecting it to work as well as it actually did (LOL my track record with kitchen gizmos isn’t the best). First, it’s very easy to grip (and I have bad carpal tunnel so this can be an issue for me), and the way it’s designed makes it very safe to use, there’s no chance of fingers near the cutting blade. I used it initially on a dozen ears of farm stand sweet corn. I blanched the ears for four minutes then put them in an ice water bath. From there, I put them through this corn stripper. It took very little effort on my part, and the cobs were really well cleaned off. I did do a little knife scraping on the smaller tapered ends of the ears, but only there — it cleanly took off all the rest. It took me longer to blanch two batches of ears than it did to strip off all the corn, this made such quick work of the job. This first batch I’m intending to freeze, but I’m planning on canning a huge batch very soon and this fantastic little gizmo is going to shave off hours of work (pun completely intended!). I’m a VERY happy purchaser!” —Cynthia Jendrejcak
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A pack of cleaning tablets that will clean your dishwasher for you, because it’s probably way dirtier than you imagine. These will break down lime and mineral buildup so your dishes come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials.
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. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!” —Sheila
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98.
25. A microwave steam cleaner, because the mess in there doesn’t just disappear when you close the door and walk away. This little device uses the power of sheer anger (and steam) to eliminate dirt and stains from your microwave.
Fill it up with vinegar and water (there are helpful fill lines inside for each!), microwave for 5–8 minutes, then remove after two additional minutes and wipe away any mess!
Promising review: “This little device is great and it’s super simple. Fill to the lines with vinegar and water, nuke for seven minutes, let it sit for two minutes, then wipe clean. My embarrassingly super-gross microwave wiped completely clean with a couple of paper towels. I highly recommend this.” —UglyPetty
Get it from Amazon for $7.19+ (available in four colors).
26. A peel-and-stick faux-gel tile backsplash to fool all your guests into thinking you gave your kitchen a complete overhaul — but in reality, you just quickly applied some heat-resistant stickers!
Each square is 30cm x 30cm.
Promising review: “We did a kitchen facelift this summer, repainting and making everything look fresh. We were looking at the Home Depot version of these, which are more than double the price. We decided to go for these instead and they are amazing!! I put them up myself in about two hours. I did buy an adhesive spray just in case but it wasn’t needed, even for the few I had to peel off and restick to center correctly. These aren’t too difficult to apply but definitely require patience. 100% worth the buy for a DIY affordable update!” —Hope Consilvio
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $24.29+ (available in six colors).
27. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods with 22,000 5-star ratings to get all the dirt and grime out of your trusty coffee companion. Simply place it in your Keurig like a typical K-Cup, brew on the largest cup size, remove the cleaning pod, and then brew another round of hot water to rinse. You’d be surprised how much coffee residue and old coffee grinds can get stuck in the dispenser.
Promising review: “I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old, and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend; keeps everything running correctly and clean.” —Lauren
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95 (the six-count box is also available in packs of two and three).
28. A box of coffee machine cleaning powder to flush out all of the gunk inside that you didn’t even know was there. It’ll also make your coffee taste way less bitter and get your carafe as sparkly clean as the day you bought it!
Start by dissolving a packet in 32 ounces of water, add to your coffee maker’s reservoir, run a brew cycle, then discard water and run two to three more brew cycles to rinse.
Promising review: “This worked great for our coffee maker. The picture on the left (above) is the first batch of water, including the packet of cleaner. The second was already much cleaner and the third and fourth batches of water were completely clear. Our coffee tastes much less bitter now.” —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of three packets from Amazon for $10.99.
29. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner so you can tackle any food residue that’s been lingering in there for far too long. It makes you realize adulthood is just learning about all the things you never realized you were supposed to be cleaning — and your followers will relate.
Start by making sure your disposer is turned; run a hot stream of water (not directly into the disposer) for one minute, then reduce the stream to a small trickle. Insert one of the cleaning bags into the turned-off disposer with the small stream of water still flowing, turn on the disposer, then turn off the disposer once the blue foam disappears after 1–2 minutes, and give the sink a quick rinse.
Promising review: “Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance.” —Jessica Hamilton
Get a two pack of four-count bags from Amazon for $11.31 (also available in three other pack sizes).
30. A bottle of Hope’s Perfect Sink cleaner and polish to make any stainless-steel, cast-iron, porcelain, or acrylic appliance as shiny as the day you got it. It also leaves behind a water-repellant layer to keep your sink cleaner for longer!
Promising review: “Every once in a while you stumble on a product on Amazon that you buy on a whim because of the good reviews. When you actually receive the product and use it, you can’t believe how good it really is. This is definitely one of those products. Truth be told, the stainless-steel sink in my house is 14 years old. While we have cleaned the sink thoroughly every two weeks since we have moved in, we have never polished it or used a product such as this one. The first time I applied it to the sink, we could tell that there was an amazing difference. In fact, the sink sparkled so brightly from the overhead kitchen lights, it really was too bright to view! You can tell that this product is ‘doing its job’ because a black film comes off of the stainless steel after you clean it.” —From Wyoming to California via NYC
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes and various multipacks).
31. A cord organizer with an adhesive sticker you can place on the back of your stand mixer (or any other appliance!) so you’ll have a place to wrap your cord instead of letting it dangle all over your counter. This is honestly genius and I want to put one on every appliance I own.
3DHome Solutions/Etsy

32. A granite and stone cleaner — not only will it have your countertops looking ready for the pages of Architectural Digest, but it also kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria.
Amazon, amazon.com
33. A pack of all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets that’ll help remove stains and odors from any water bottles or coffee tumblers that you’ve left unwashed for an embarrassingly long time. It happens. Just fill your cup with warm water, drop the tablet in, and wait 15–30 minutes; rinse your cup, then get back to hydrating and/or caffeinating yourself.
These are biodegradable and odor-free.
Promising review: “I seriously can’t believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn’t put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.” —Amazon Customer
