Promising review: "I use these in my BruMate and Meoky cups, and they fit perfectly. I always struggle with getting my straw through the ice and in the middle so the lid will close. These ice cubes stay on the edge of the cup and allow plenty of room for the straw." —sarah schultz

Hustle & Sew is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.

Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina

Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "I’ve used this on different fruits and veggies and love it! I have a mandolin slicer and a food processor that slices, but it is easier just to use this tool. Nice and even slices of tomatoes and onions every time!" —Bekkster

Promising review: "If you have toddlers, get it — especially if you're on the fence. I needed something for grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and other small fruits and veggies, we go through so much. My breakfast was getting cold long before I was done cutting fruit for two toddlers. Most cutters only do one grape or berry, but this one can do several grapes and a small handful of blueberries. We will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in this house." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "The wood is really super nice, smooth, and clean. It sticks great to the pan, and the silicone rings add great shock absorption, so it doesn't make a lot of noise when I send down my heavy-ass 13-some-inch skillet! It cleans off easily; I've only used it a handful of times, but it still looks brand new! A little pricey, but it's a premium kitchen thing. I recommend don't settle for something cheaper." —K. Lujan

Promising review: "Easy to use, easy to clean. I love the small size. With a small household, it’s all I need. Have used it several times for hard-boiled eggs, and they have been perfect every time. I have never been too keen on specialty appliances, but this one is worth it." —brownnc

Promising review: "In a family of six, there are always SOME who don't like what everyone else is eating. This is a pan where making three different kinds of lasagna doesn't require much, if any, more effort than making a single lasagna with the same dimensions. Takes the same amount of time to layer the noodles and the same amount of time to build the things...but you have three different builds to satisfy those darned picky kids. Or hey, go adult gourmet in a way that Olive Garden cannot. What's fun with this pan is that it's not just lasagna. I tried making bread with it to good effect. Yeah, the loaves looked a little weird, but I DON'T CARE. I did it, and that's all. It gives me what I prize most in cooking gear...versatility. Easy to clean, certainly...and nonstick, though that requires a little care (use wood, not metal utensils). With proper care and feeding, these are made to last pretty much forever. I love it." —J. Tant

Promising review: "Incredible. Used for a disposal/drain line of a rental we just moved into that was NOT well kept. Did this twice in a row. The first time, an intense fart smell came from the drain when it bubbled up — you know, that smell of standing, stagnant water. So I knew it was working. The second time right after, no smell, more foam. I absolutely feel confident that this did a deep clean and will be using this every time we move. It even cleaned the bottom of the gunky strainer that was sitting in the drain cover. Did this to help with gnats/fruit flies we also inherited with the new rental. Highly recommended." —D. Rishi

Promising review: "I recently bought this for storage, and it’s been a game changer. It’s a sturdy and well-designed organizer that fits perfectly with my Stanley tumblers, keeping them neatly stored and easy to access. The material feels durable, and the compact size doesn’t take up too much space, making it ideal for my kitchen. It helps keep things tidy and prevents my cups from tipping over or getting scratched. Overall, a practical and functional storage solution that I’m really happy with! —Megan Davis

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in gray and brown).

Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for 4 years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe I'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." —Hoarder

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.79+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

Promising review: "This is outstanding! I first used it at a family member's house while serving myself some salad. It grips well in your hand, grabs a lot of salad, and nothing falls out! I bought this for myself and just love it. I plan to gift these to those who I know serve salad often. Best scooper/server ever!" —JJ

Promising review: "Easy to use and several different options for cutting your vegetables as needed. Sharp blades and it’s a plus to hold everything you slice or dice in its container. Exactly what I needed. Very well made and easy to use. My go-to in my kitchen for my vegetables." —Giselle

Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great product...wish I had bought one sooner!" —Joanna

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.79.

Promising review: "This scale with a built-in cup is the best thing for my baking tools. No more whipping out 1,000,000 cups. Also, [rather than] always trying to figure out grams or cups, now I just press a button, and it tells me I love this." —Corin lonigro

Get it from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: This is the best breakfast invention after the waffle maker. LOVE IT! As someone who makes pancakes or waffles three to four times a week (my kids are pretty spoiled, but breakfast is key to getting through the first part of the school day), this is the easiest and fastest way to get that done. I just add everything to the bottle, shake it, and pour it into the waffle maker or griddle. When I am done, just add some water, shake again, empty, and then place everything in the dishwasher." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I just made 26 pounds of pork butt for a large family gathering. Several months ago, I did the same thing, and my husband and I shredded it together with four forks. We scorched our hands repeatedly, and it took over 70 minutes. I looked at several shredding forks and settled in on these, and I sure am glad I did! They are solid, light, and sharp. They are not hollow on the back side, so the meat doesn't get stuck in them. It didn't take long to get the hang of them. They double as handles to pick the large 8.5 pounds of butts, which was very nice. They really do become extensions of your hands! I had read reviews that said that these don't let you get meat shredded finely, but that was certainly not my experience. Although I haven't used them on other sorts of meat yet, this pork was fall-off-the-bone tender, and it shredded very finely for me. And it did it so fast! I shredded all 26 pounds by myself in less than 30 minutes and didn't burn my hands once. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get these... It really does beat the two-fork system!" —L. Smith

Promising review: "Love these! I hate big leafy salads, so I bought these, and they're perfect for chopping greens into bites. I also use them to quickly chop cherry tomatoes, onions, and other veggies. VERY nice quality." —asoon

Promising review: "Exactly what I didn’t know I needed! I’ve been scrubbing the little water tray for years, then got a new fridge and wanted to check to see if these existed. Perfect fit for our new LG fridge!" —Amazon Customer

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.98 (available in three shapes and two colors).

These are designed to fit 3- to 8-quart round and oval slow cookers. PS: They also come in handy with dishes going into a water bath (think cheesecakes, custards, and puddings). 

Promising review: "We always use these liners in our crock pots. They rarely let me down. Makes clean-up a breeze. They will break if you use metal utensils and scrape the bottom with some force. I have only had one melt on me, when I accidentally left my Nesco on high while it was empty, otherwise they have never melted or burned. They impart no weird flavors into the food that is cooked. They are cheap and sure beat scrubbing!" —Hello

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $6.29 (also available in packs of 20 and 40).

The set includes an 8-inch fry pan, 10-inch fry pan, 2-quart saucepan, 3-quart saucepan, 4-quart sauté pan, 8-inch silicone lid, 10-inch silicone lid, 7-inch fridge storage lid, 8-inch fridge storage lid, 2 detachable handles, 4 pan protectors, and a 4-piece utensil set.

Promising review: "This set has been a dream! With my kids helping with dishes, this set has made the pots/pans cabinet a non-issue. Before, we had to stack the pans together, but they’d get stacked wonky because of the handles. With this set, we keep the handles in the utensil drawer and the rest stacked together. I typically cook without the handles attached (depending on the meal, of course) and clip on once complete to move the pan wherever it needs to go. I rinse the handle of any debris and put it away. Grab the storage lid and plop the pan directly into the fridge. This set has made a huge difference in my desire to cook, as the hassle from start to finish is a fraction of what it was with my old set!" —Brooke

These reusable bags are good for 50 to 100 washes and can hold pizza, chicken nuggets, and pastries.

Promising review: "I love using these! Since I live alone, I don't like having to dirty a skillet to make just one sandwich. This makes a great sandwich in the toaster without any muss or fuss. They're easy to clean; just wipe it out or use a little soap and water if needed. The nonstick feature is very helpful." —Branwynmars

FryAway is a woman-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

Promising review: "Honestly, I didn’t know if this would work; waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature, it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma

Promising review: "These little tags have been a game changer for my household. Everyone finally knows exactly where to put things, and the color-coded icons make it so easy that even my 7-year-old gets it right. My dishes are coming out noticeably cleaner too, since nothing is blocking the spray arms anymore. The silicone quality is really impressive; after multiple cycles of daily washes they haven’t faded, peeled, or lost their shape at all. They fit my Bosch perfectly and took under five minutes to set up. Small purchase, but honestly one of the most useful things I’ve added to our kitchen routine!​​​​​​​​​​" —Santanu Patnaik

Get a set of 10 organizers from Amazon for $14.99.

Promising review: "Love this product. I use these once a month or so. Repair lady who came to fix a broken plastic clip said it was the cleanest dishwasher she’d ever worked on. My dishwasher is 4 years old and used every day." —Scoobadoo

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $9.43.

Promising review: "So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy to have them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color, so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl

Get them from Amazon for $8.98+ (also available for Instant Pot).

Promising review: "I have struggled with the pouring shields that came with my KitchenAid and Cuisinart stand mixers. They were messy and hard to use. I purchased this and forgot I had it! LOL. This weekend, I have been making tons of cookies and tried the New Metro chute out, and OMG! It works great. No mess. The flour or liquids go into the bowl and nowhere else. It's sturdy and super easy to use and clean. I highly recommend it. It's a quality product." —Retep

Get it from Amazon for $24.94 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill or running the 'oven clean' option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while. I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for them to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner. It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer, and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn't the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!" —Hpg

Promising review: "Brilliant. 100,000% Recommend them! It lets me separate veggies by how long they take to cook so they are all ready at the same time and nothing is over/undercooked. I love these cheat sheets. They are a great tool for my kitchen." —yule

You may remember Souper Cube from Shark Tank (Lori invested in the company!). This small business was started by four friends who loved soup but hated food waste.

Promising review: "So happy that I found these. I’m the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it’s impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I’m ready for the next batch!" —Debbie R. Texas

Promising review: "I love how spacious yet compact this griddle is. It’s big enough to cook for the family but folds up neatly for easy storage. The non-stick surface works perfectly — nothing sticks, and cleanup is super quick. The dual temperature controls are a nice bonus, letting you cook different foods at once. It’s a simple, reliable tool that makes cooking so much easier!" —SAMAS

Promising review: "I have trivets. Several of them. But when I need them, they’re never there! I have to dig through my drawer just to locate one. Then I see this. What an amazing concept! They look cute on my counter or table. They’re easy to use! Pull one off the 'tree' and set it on the counter/table. If it gets dirty, just wipe them down and put them back in the tree. Honestly, I love this tree and all its 'branches!'" —Cynthia Lancaster

Read our Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker review!

Promising review: "I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! Be careful and read the instructions carefully, as you must leave the top off while cooking it. There are lines to indicate how much water to put in the cooker versus the amount of pasta you intend to cook. The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when the instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the water, and it works very well. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" —Tania

Promising review: "I bought one to try out, and my kids loved it so much that we bought another. I do believe that it is worth it because it is well-made and super compact. I love that you can put multiple things inside of it like a sandwich and a cheese stick. Another one of my favorite things is that after they are done, it is so small and easy to fold out and put in the dishwasher. Some of my other school packing lunch supplies are big and bulky and take up so much dishwasher space." —Lauren Jackson

Promising review: "I love this! I used the pizza pack to store four slices. They fit great, and they were full-size slices. I also used the pizza trays included to warm up the pizza in the microwave. It did a pretty good job of getting the slices hot. I love the collapsible aspect. Great for easy storage. Great product, really good price, and made in the USA!!" —Tom Angiolillo
