4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium to make dinner for the family, but others need a little more help. Some of us never got our sourdough bread past the starter stage, and we take 90 minutes to make a meal that comes in a subscription box and is supposed to take 30 minutes to make. A lot of cooking skills depend on having the right tools, but that doesn’t mean you need a huge kitchen with a ton of counter space and a hundred bowls to hold all of your ingredients. There are a lot of helpful gadgets out there that don’t take up much space and will make it so much easier to cook everything from weeknight dinners to holiday meals and treats for special occasions. We put together a list of some of the best kitchen tools that solve common cooking problems or cut out steps in the process of making a meal. Some of these useful items are scissors that cut herbs faster, a spray bottle for oils, a cutting board that also thaws meat, and all-in-one food processors and blenders, just to name a few. 1. A food prep station for the counter. Novayeah Cutting Board Made of Bamboo with Containers. If your back hurts and you can’t stand at a counter for a long time, this one will save your life. The cutting board is like a portable counter that you can move to your kitchen table so you can sit down and cut at the same time. Also, the vegetables slide through the opening and into the containers, making it very easy to separate your ingredients. 2. Best spice carousel KitchenArt Auto-Measure Carousel Select-A-Spice. Never again will you have to worry about mixing up teaspoons and tablespoons. Just press the right button, and the right amount will come out on its own. 3. Best food processor. Fullstar Vegetable Chopper and Spiralizer. Just put your vegetables on the plate, choose the size of chop you want (slice, julienne, spirals, or ribbons), and press it down. Soon, you’ll have all of your ingredients in a container that is all the same. 4. The best measuring cups and spoons that fit together. https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 2/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium TILUCK Magnetic Measuring Cups and Spoons Set. These magnetic measuring spoons stick together so that the one you always need won’t get lost in your kitchen drawer. And these stainless steel measuring cups are more durable than the ones made of plastic. 5. Best cutting board, number. X-Chef Cutting Board and Defrosting Tray. No matter how big your kitchen is, there’s never enough storage space. That’s why it’s important to have things that can do more than one thing. If you forgot to take something out of the freezer but still need to make dinner, you can quickly defrost your meat on one side and then flip it over to use as a cutting board. 6. The best stripper of corn. Corn Stripper by Chef’n Chef’n Cob. It’s maize! A big, knobby lump! And with this clever corn stripper, you can get the kernels off the cob faster than you can sing the catchy TikTok tune. Plus, the blades are made of stainless steel and there is no BPA in them. 7. No more cleaning the microwave by hand. The Angry Mama Microwave Cleaner from Mixigoo. This little thing is as useful as she is cute, and it packs a big punch. To use, just add vinegar and water, and if you want a fresh smell, a squeeze of lemon juice, put it in the microwave, turn it on, and let Mama do her thing. Then wipe the inside of the microwave with a paper towel, and it will be as clean as the day you bought it. People who have reviewed the microwave steam cleaner love how well it works “Before I read the reviews, I didn’t think the product would work because it looked so silly. It worked like a dream, making a job I didn’t want to do easy. Definitely recommend this product.” Smoked salmon, garlic, and more strong food odors that can linger on your hands for hours after cooking or eating are no match for this little bar. Simply rub on your hands as if it’s a bar of soap — with or without water — and the stainless steel https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 3/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium molecules will transfer the smell from your skin to the metal. It’s dishwasher-safe, too, so you won’t need to replace it any time soon. 8. The Best way to keep track of lids. YouCopia StoraLid is a lid organizer for food containers. There might not be anything worse than having to go through your cabinets to find the right size and shape of a lid for a container. With this adjustable lid organizer, you can keep your reusable lids organized and easy to get to, so you can just look, grab, and go. No more messy piles of plasticware sliding all over the place. 9. Quickly get rid of strong food smells on your hands. Amco Rub-a-Way Bar Odor Absorber, Stainless Steel. This little bar can get rid of smells like smoked salmon, garlic, and other strong foods that can stay on your hands for hours after cooking or eating. Just rub it on your hands like a bar of soap, with or without water, and the molecules in the stainless steel will take the smell from your skin and put it on the metal. It can also go in the dishwasher, so you won’t have to buy a new one any time soon. 10 . Best bag re-sealer. Karidge Mini Bag Sealer. Even though it looks like a hair straightener, this is not one. Once heated, this handy tool can seal food and keep oxygen and moisture out. Use it on any small bag of snacks you want to keep for later. Pick from one of five colors. 11 . Best herb cutter. POROMI Herb Scissors Set. Herbs can be cut quickly and easily with scissors, but not just any scissors. You need scissors that are made to cut small ingredients over and over again. It will save you time and work. Use this on things like green onions, rosemary, cilantro, and seaweed, just to name a few. The best part is that you can cut precisely because each section of the stainless steel blade is the same length. A blade cover keeps the blade safe and clean when it’s not in use. 12. Best spice grinder that runs on batteries. FinaMill is a pepper mill and spice grinder in one that runs on batteries. https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 4/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium This battery-powered pepper mill and spice grinder lets you grind pepper, rock salt, and more by pressing just one button. Also, we like that you can change how rough it is. This set comes with two pods that you can fill with Himalayan salt, black pepper, etc., but you can always buy more so that you can use this handy tool for all of your go-to spices. 13. Best drying rack for over the sink. A roll-up dish drying rack that goes over the sink. Get a little bit more temporary counter space for your small kitchen. This roll-up dish drying rack can be put away when it’s not in use, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space on the counter. It’s also strong enough to hold a cutting board and some food while you prepare a meal. 14. The best portable ice maker. Aglucky Ice Maker for the Counter. You like your smoothies really cold, right? Or are you a master frozen margarita maker? Even if you have a fridge with an ice maker, you probably always run out of ice cube trays. This machine sits on your counter and makes fresh ice in minutes. It’s great for parties and everyday use. 15 . Best handheld blender. KOIOS Powerful 800W 4-in-1 Hand Immersion Blender. You probably already have a blender, but a handheld immersion blender can give you more options than a regular stand blender. You can use it to whisk soups or purees, or you can add parts to it to make smoothies for one person. 16. The best vacuum sealer for food. Nesco Nesco Deluxe Food VS-12 Vacuum Sealer. Use a vacuum sealer to quickly marinate meat or store meats and other ingredients until you need them. This high-end sealer can work with bags that are up to 11.8 inches wide. For your convenience, the set comes with 20 bags, 10 quart-sized and 10 gallon-sized. 17 . Best avocado slicer. OXO’s 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer with Good Grips. https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 5/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium A tool that cuts, removes the pit, and slices your avocados evenly every time will make it much easier to finish your guacamole. You can also use it to scoop out the insides of mangoes, kiwis, and other soft, small fruits. 18. Dutch ovens for cheap. Ayesha Curry’s casserole dish is made of enameled cast iron. Ayesha Curry’s cast iron dutch oven was one of Oprah’s Favorite Things for a reason. It looks nice, is easy to clean, and works great for slow-cooked meals. 19. Best pasta maker. Sailnovo Pasta Maker. Making pasta from scratch isn’t as hard as it may seem, and the taste is so much better than what comes in a box. Also, you can make fettuccine (or any other shape) your own way by using any kind of flour. 20. Best helper for cooking. Amazon Echo Show 10. Need someone to help you in the kitchen? Alexa can give you recipes, show you what a julienned carrot looks like, and help you set timers so your cookies don’t burn. You can add a subscription to Food Network Kitchen to your Echo so you can cook along with your favorite chefs. 21. Best zester. Deiss PRO Citrus Zester & Cheese Grater. You do need a zester, though. Small amounts of lemon or parmesan cheese can make a big difference in the taste of the food you make. 22. Best pressure cooker. Pressure cook with the Instant Pot Duo Crisp. On social media, you probably don’t go a day without hearing someone praise their Instant Pot, and for good reason! It lets you make dinner with very little work on your part. 23. Best classic mixer. KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer. https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 6/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium Stand mixers from KitchenAid are expensive, but if you want to get better at cooking or baking, this is the tool you need. You can bake sourdough loaves, mix cupcake batter, or add an attachment to spiralize vegetables, make sausage, pasta, shredded cheese, and so much more. 24. The best oil spray bottle. Cooking with NGECORS Oil Sprayer. For cooking, you can buy oil spray, but if your favorite oil doesn’t come in spray form, you can use this spray bottle instead. You can add your favorite oil and spray it on pans, dishes, and more to control how much oil you use. You can also save money by buying oil in bulk and using this spray bottle. 25. Best tool to prepare herbs. Herb stripper is made of stainless steel by Cobata. This stripper is made of stainless steel and helps you get herbs ready for your favorite recipes. It has different-sized holes, so all you have to do to strip herbs is run each string through it. You can use it on tarragon, rosemary, cilantro, and parsley, so you don’t have to pick the leaves one by one. 26. Best soap dispenser. Bestseek Kitchen Dish Soap Dispenser with Sponge Holder. This soap dispenser is great because it also has a place to put your sponge. When your sponge needs more soap, you can easily add it by pressing it down. It is small and useful! 27. Best sandwich cutter. Savoychef Sandwich Cutter and Sealer. If your kids like Uncrustables or just don’t like the crust, this sandwich cutter and sealer can turn your bread and fill it into a giant ravioli. It also makes it more fun to make and eat lunch. 28. The most unique tongs. Clever Tongs are kitchen spoons and tongs in one. https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 7/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium This cooking tool has more than one use. It can flip and hold. Instead of using a spatula and a pair of tongs, you can use this instead. It is made of stainless steel and silicone, and it locks so it can be put away easily. It doesn’t stick and can handle high temperatures. You can also put it in the dishwasher after you use it. 29. Popular all-purpose pan on the Internet. Always Pan. Our Place. This ceramic nonstick pan can be used for a lot of different things. It’s the only pan you’ll need for everyday cooking. It’s not too big or too small, and the company says it can replace eight pans you probably already have. It comes with a beechwood spatula, a steamer that nests inside the pot, and a lid that can be turned to trap or let out steam. We also love that there are so many color choices. 30. Best pasta strainer. Kitchen Gizmo Snap N Strain Pot Strainer and Pasta Strainer. For big pasta, vegetables, and other foods, you don’t need a colander. Attach this silicone strainer to your pot, pour out the water, and the noodles will stay in the pot. You can pick from five colors. Just make sure your pasta pot isn’t too big, or this won’t fit as well as you’d like. 31. Best vegetable spiralizer. NUNEWARES Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer. If you’re trying to eat fewer carbs or don’t eat gluten, this small appliance will change your life. With this easy-to-use spiralizer, you can turn zucchini, carrots, cabbage, and other vegetables into “noodles.” It comes with Japanese 420-grade hardened stainless steel blades that are very sharp and can make clean cuts. A container will hold what you make. There is also a brush for cleaning. 32. Best simple juicer. OXO Small Citrus Juicer with Good Grips. Sometimes you want a kitchen tool that is as simple as they come, but still smart. This is an orange juicer. It can be used on lemons, limes, oranges, and other fruits. And the best part is that you can catch the juice in a measuring cup so it’s ready to use in cooking. https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 8/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM 33. Best egg cooker. What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium DASH DASH Rapid Egg Cooker. This fast egg cooker can boil eggs soft, medium, or hard. It can hold up to six eggs. If you use this instead of a pot, you’ll save time and water. Put your eggs in, add a little water, turn it on, and leave it alone until it beeps. You can also poach and scramble eggs with this tool. 34. Best pancake batter dispenser. The BlenderBall comes with the Whiskware Pancake Batter Dispenser and Mixer. Use this dispenser bottle for your pancake batter instead of a big bowl, a mixer, and a scoop. Put in all the ingredients, close the lid, and shake it. The blender ball will take care of all the hard work. Then, just pour out the contents to make pancakes that are perfect. You’ll get less mess! 35. Best torch for cooking. Sondiko Sondiko Butane Torch S400. Like a layer of crust as if you grilled it but you didn’t? Then you will need a blow torch. Use it to brown meat, make crème brûlée, and other things. We love it especially when we use sous vide machine to make food that doesn’t brown or get crispy. This blow torch could be the last thing you do before you serve. Just put in more butane when you run out. 36. Best automatic peeler. Electric Starfrit Rotato Express Peeler. Don’t be fooled by its name. This Rotato Express peeler can also be used to peel cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, sweet potatoes, pears, apples, and more. You just need to attach the fruit or vegetable and press a button. When it’s done, it will stop on its own. 37. Cover any pot or pan. Teeo Lid for Every Pot. Pans don’t always come with lids when you buy them. But since cooking on a stovetop makes a lot of mess, you’ll need a cover. We like this universal pot lid because it fits https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 9/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium most pots and pans and comes in different sizes. 38. Cutest utensil rest. OTOTO Silicone Spoon Rest, Red the Crab. We’re not going to lie, this silicone rest is so cute that we love it. But it also works, so it’s a good thing all around. Attach it to your pot or pan and put your spatula, spoon, or ladle on it so you don’t make a mess on your counters while you cook. 39 . Best collapsible colander set. Goodkind Collapsible Colander Set with 3 Pieces. We love this set of colanders because the biggest one has handles that stick out so it can be hung over most sinks. The smaller ones also do the job of making it easy to strain. Use the biggest one when you have a big pot of boiling water to pour over big, heavy pasta. Your hands will be less likely to get burned! 40. The Best way to store pans. Deco Brothers Pan Shelf Rack for Kitchen Counter and Cabinet. If you have to dig through cabinets or drawers to find the right pan, this is what your kitchen needs. Stack your pans on this rack to make it easier to get what you need and put the rest away. 41. Best thermometer for meat. ThermoPro’s TP19H is a digital thermometer for cooking meat. Whether or not it’s grilling season, a meat thermometer can help you serve the best- tasting and safest meats. At your next cookout, this meat thermometer will tell you the temperature of your burgers and steaks in just three seconds. 42. Safest pizza cutter. Strange Strange Pizza Cutter Wheel. Even though this doesn’t look like a typical pizza cutter, we love it because it’s small, easy to clean, and has a safety cover. Safe to hold in your hand, you can also take it apart to clean it. 43. Garlic peeler that won’t stink. There are two Maxracy Silicone Easy Roll Tube Garlic Peelers. https://medium.com/@konikaislam/what-are-cool-kitchen-items-to-have-at-home-f8a32b1c87f4 10/21
4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium You might be wondering what these tubes made of silicone that looks like manicotti shells are for. Well, you put garlic cloves that haven’t been peeled inside, roll them back and forth, and it peels the garlic for you. No mess, no stinky hands, and no bother. 44. Best air fryer liner. Air Fryer Liners from JINORTUA. We love air fryers because they make food crispy without a lot of oil or cholesterol, but they are not fun to clean. These liners for air fryers can get rid of that trouble. They don’t absorb oil, don’t stick, and don’t melt, so when used as intended, they shouldn’t change the quality of the food. 45. Best cooking trash can. EWholesalers Hanging Kitchen Trash Can. While you cook, this trash can be your trusty helper. Attach it right where you do your prep work so you can easily dump food waste into it (rather than walking back and forth to your larger garbage, which may not be located in such a simple spot) (rather than walking back and forth to your larger garbage, which may not be located in such a simple spot). 46. Best rubber handle food scraper. Anmarko Stainless Steel Metal Griddle Scraper and Chopper. Whether you’re making bread or cooking dinner, this stainless steel metal scraper and chopper is the best kitchen helper.

4/30/23, 1:00 PM What are cool kitchen items to have at home? | by Konika Islam | Medium Gourmet Smart All-in-1 Multi-Cooker. To save money and space, we like appliances that can do more than one thing. This multi-cooker can sauté, boil, steam, and knead. It cooks, grinds, weighs, emulsifies, mixes, blends, and processes. Sometimes you can even use this instead of your stove! The Gourmet app will show you how to use it and how well you are doing. It has a control panel on the LCD touchscreen, but you can also connect it to Bluetooth and use your smart device to control it. 49 . Best 2-in-1 food processor and blender.
