As someone with Very Strong Feelings about the proper toast color, this is a game-changer. On Dash's browning levels chart, anything less than a 4 just isn't toast!!

This bb also has defrost, reheat, and bagel settings, plus an extra-wide slot for bagels and ~specialty breads~. AND the crumb tray and window both slide out for easy cleanup (and no burnt smell every time you toast). Btw, I've had this toaster for a couple of years, and it's great! 

Promising review: "Makes toast that is evenly toasted and to your exact specifications. Big enough to handle bagels and large bread slices. Uses crystal heating rods and not a bunch of little wires on cardboard or other flimsy medium like most toasters. This leads to even toasting from edge to edge without untoasted lines and patches. These also allow for finer control of heating level, so your toast his consistently toasted to the level you like. The window allows for you to see it toast, functionally allowing you to see if you want it to pop it out early and providing a nice toasty ambiance to your kitchen. Glass and crumb tray are easily removed for cleaning." —Grandmultipara

Promising review: "I first ran across the Chopula at a little kitchen store in North Carolina. I was so impressed with all the ways it can be used, I came back to Amazon and ordered another for myself and one each for my kids. I really do love how easy it is to get underneath fried eggs to flip them with this gadget. I had other spatulas, but they always seemed too thick or they were metal and I couldn't use them on my nonstick pans. I find myself using it instead of a wooden spoon for a lot of things I stir on the stovetop. You can chop pounds of ground beef with the side of it, too. Nice product for sure!" —Lois Thurston

Promising review: "I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips. I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compared to Gripsticks. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts. I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with Gripsticks. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward." —Rachel Campbell

You can easily pour ingredients from the container right into your pan with less spill or mess, too! And if you don't need the whole onion, potato, etc, leftover ingredients also store easily in the container too! 

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.

Promising review: "I am in love with the stainless steel chopper! I can put it in the dishwasher, unlike most plastic choppers, and it does not get warped and ruined! It actually chops everything on the first pushing down of the lid, all my veggies get chopped with ease, perfect for my homemade hash browns, where everything needs to be diced, especially SMALL, for morning hashbrowns! A lot less work for me in dicing and chopping all my veggies! Makes cooking so much faster and easier! Less time spent in chopping food! Cuts meal prep time by a good 65-70% for me! I tried other brands and they often fell apart or didn’t work the first time around, but this did not disappoint or let me down!" —Breeanna Jones

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (also available in sets with fewer or more blade attachments).

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 still cannot believe 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 $49.87+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Avocado? Yes, Please! This tool is awesome. Easy to cut open the fruit. Pit remover works well, just push it onto the pit and give it a twist, and the pit pops right out. The best part is the slicer. Makes beautiful slices for a great presentation. The tool can then be used to scrape any remaining fruit out of the skin. Really happy I bought this!" —NPR Man

Promising review: "What kind of sorcery is this? It is magical; keeps guac fresh for days! I buy the "homemade" stuff from the supermarket and switch it into here, and you can keep it fresh for a really long time. Wish I'd bought this sooner; it was worth every penny!" —stardust

Promising review: "I cannot believe this works so well! I'm a huge guac on toast person, but how unappealing is brown guacamole? Received this on Saturday, made a batch on Sunday, and it was still beautifully green and tasty six days later! My standard batch perfectly fits six medium avocados, plus the fixings. Happy girl here!" —Amazon Customer

Just soak in water, then pat dry before adding to your jar or container. And btw, you can also use it to keep moisture OUT of any foods you want to keep crunchy, like crackers! Just bake it at 200°F for 5-10 minutes to ensure it's completely dry.

Promising review: "I bought these out of curiosity but am a 100% believer in witchcraft now!! I had an old, OLD bag of brown sugar I found in the back of my fridge, and figured that I would give it a try. Wow!! It really, really works! I haven't used it multiple times, but it really works to make old brown sugar soft again, which is awesome because I love baking, but not enough to go use a bag of brown sugar in one weekend. Great price for what you get!!" —Chalia

This is from our Goodful collection, btw!

Check out a TikTok of the salad scissors in action. 

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

And they're microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe, too. These are my very favorite containers — a few years ago, I got the 22-piece set to fully stock my kitchen!

Promising review: "These plastic storage containers are robust and well constructed. They can even be shaken vigorously with soup in them without risking a leak. For convenience, they are completely microwave and dishwasher-safe and have held up to 50+ cycles by this point. The seal is significant in that it acts as a vapor barrier (you don't smell what's inside until you open it). Huge plus. Additionally, you can unlatch the handles while keeping the lid sealed on, exposing vent holes. This allows you to microwave the contents without having to cover the top or worry about splashing – ingenious design! They're also gorgeous looking (and this aesthetic holds up, they don't stain) to boot and stack well." —Nicholas

Promising review: "Do you have a stinky garbage disposal? If so, get some of these. They are cheap, smell nice. and the foaming action really provides you with a visual that they are cleaning the drain. After using these, the garbage disposal seems smoother (fewer strange noises, like it's been lubricated). I'd recommend these over Plinks any day as I feel the Plinks only hide smells, whereas these foaming packets actually clean the disposal."—Sugacookie

Promising review: "I’m convinced these make my drinks taste better LOL. I just think it’s such a cute little razzle-dazzle to add to drinks. It’s also easy to get the ice out, you just gotta twist the tray a tiny bit and they pop right out!" —Isabella Jafarbay

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three ice sizes and four colors).

If you don't know what makes a Scrub Daddy different from other sponges, let me tell ya: it's firm in cold water (for tougher messes) but soft in warm water (for lighter cleaning). The scratch-free material is safe on tons of surfaces: glass, stainless steel, cast iron, nonstick, chrome, copper, etc. And if you thought the face was just a gimmick, think twice — the eye and smile holes are great for quickly cleaning large and small utensils!

Promising review: "These Scrub Daddies are the best thing to happen to sponges since the first person looked at a live sponge and said, "I bet I could make one of those without killing a living sponge." They don't smell! They clean like wizardry. And they last and last and last! I ordered these for the first time at my apartment, and I've ordered them again for vacation. Helpful tip: Great for cleaning knives. This may give you a shudder, but I just stick the knife into the Scrub Daddy's mouth and pull it out...like licking the cake batter off the knife, but never getting cut! Scrub Daddies are INVINCIBLE and AWESOME!" —J. Bogdanove

Get a pack of three on Amazon for $13.99.

Promising review: "I used three of these to help me make freezer meals for after I have a baby. I can honestly say I don't know how I would have filled the freezer bags without these ingenious baggy holders. I was able to dump veggies, spices, meat, and cans of heavy beans and tomatoes into the bags, and they stood up the entire time without sliding or spilling. One of the bags I stuffed literally to the brim, as full as it could go, and the bag did not fall down. I would definitely recommend these." —Grace S.

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99 (available in packs of two, four, six, and 12).

They *guarantee* that each scrubber sponge will stay odor-free for at least three months.

Promising review: "My girlfriend has a keen nose for mildew, which meant we were throwing out kitchen sponges well before they were worn out. I came across these and was very happy with the first ones we tried. Absolutely no odor, even after several weeks' worth of usage. The scrubber will break down long before it starts to smell. A definite winner in my book!" —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $16.99 (available in peach-scented and unscented versions).

Also available in a version designed to clean your stovetop!

Promising review: "For years, we have been just using large metal spoons or the sides of our metal sink to remove various odors from our hands (i.e., after chopping garlic or onions). Finally, I said to myself, 'Self, we need to move into the 21st century and get a metal bar'....and Ta-Daaaaah! I am really glad that we bought this because it looks really nice and it works so much better than a spoon or sink. For anyone who doesn't believe that this type of thing works, go ahead and chop 10 cloves of garlic and then rub your hands on this bar under cold running water. The results will speak for themselves. I would highly recommend this to anyone." —Sergio DaSilveira

Get it from Amazon for $9.49 (also available in a mini size and in the shape of a fish).

It folds down flat to just an inch and a half.

Promising review: "Wow, this thing really works. I recently bought a Zojirushi bread machine that makes giant mutant loaves. The bread pal easily accommodates the massive bread, both width of 5+ inches and height of 7 inches. Cuts even slices, cleans easily and folds flat for storage. Looks nice enough to leave out though. I got a very long knife, Fat Daddio's 14-Inch Cake Slicer / Bread Knife ($15.99 on Amazon) to use with it, which is important. Also great packing and fast shipping. Very pleased. Thank you!" —uptownvelvet

Promising review: "I had one of the earliest electric wine openers, but it finally gave up the ghost. Boy, am I glad now! This new one is fantastic! It's really easy to use, takes no effort — you don't have to hang onto the bottle so it doesn't spin, like my old one — and it looks attractive on the counter." —Mary

Here's what BuzzFeed Food writer Hannah Loewentheil has to say about it: "I'd been contemplating buying an air fryer for quite some time, but it wasn't until I found myself cooking every night with my family due to COVID-19 that I finally decided it was the right time to get one. Friends of mine were raving about their new Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer, so after reading similar feedback on Amazon, I decided it looked like a winner. And it happens to be made by the same company that makes the crowd-favorite Instant Pot. I figured I would be using this appliance primarily as air air fryer, but as an added bonus, it can also roast, broil, bake, re-heat, and dehydrate food.

I've had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it's become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it's large enough to a good amount of food at once, it's easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I've been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you're cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don't get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don't mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there's no oil involved in the cooking — just air. We also tried making sesame chicken in the air fryer using boneless skinless chicken thighs. The sesame chicken tasted almost identical to my favorite Chinese takeout, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn't believe I made this at home!!"

Reviewers say it's perfectly leakproof, and great for non-kitchen uses too! BTW. it's made of BPA-free plastic and is dishwasher safe.

Promising review: "I’ve used this bottle daily for almost exactly a year now. I use it for dispensing oil during cooking. It is very easy and fast to use. I just flip the lid off with my thumb and squeeze, which makes me feel like a graceful, quick, and efficient chef. Oil doesn’t drip down onto the bottle at all, so my hands never get oil on them, and I have no problems with drips either. I simply store the bottle directly on my shelf for quick access, because I have not seen even the slightest hint of an oil ring on my shelf, even after a year of daily use. This bottle is easy to use, clean to use, and comes apart for easy cleaning. And it still looks and feels new, so it is definitely holding up very well with a lot of use. I definitely recommend this little squeeze bottle." —Jkats

Promising review: "We buy real maple syrup by the gallon & even when decanting into a smaller syrup container or jar, my kiddos always pour way more than they need, wasting $$$$. These squeeze bottles are perfect! I filled the big one with syrup: 5-, 8- and 10-year-olds can serve themselves without spills, leaks, or dribbles down the side. I filled the smaller one with vegetable oil for cooking - much better to coat the bottom of a skillet than pouring from the quart container the oil comes in. For the syrup, I wash the top every time I refill — the spout tends to get a little bit of crystallization on it, but it doesn't stop the top from closing. So glad I finally bit the bullet and bought these!" —KateW

Promising review: "If you have one of those tiny zesters in your drawer, the ones that take off 1 cm of zest and then keep it embedded so none goes into the cooking? Retire it. This is a much better device and even fits across many pots for simpler use. Plus, they give you tips on how to use and clean it easily." —CoffeeHound

Promising review: "Say goodbye to your old zester and your fingerprints! This thing is absolutely fantastic for zesting anything you have, mincing garlic, or whatever small thin slicing you need to do! Hands down, would purchase again in a heartbeat!" —Bree

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good about this strainer. It fits all my pots from small to huge, even frying pans! I have strainers, colanders, every kind of lid converter...this strainer is the best ever. When the pot is too heavy for me to hold to drain off the water, with this I can still hold on with both hands, and then when it is mostly drained, I set the pot in the sink to continue to drain (fidgety pastas). Washes up like a dream, or toss in the dishwasher. I do not know how I lived without this strainer. Now I can get rid of probably 20 items out of my kitchen!" —SGA

Promising review: "Don't know what the 'flavor' category means with respect to these wine bottle stoppers, but the stoppers work as advertised. A local vineyard was using them in their sample room, so I assumed that since a vineyard was using them, they would work as advertised, and they do. You can lay a wine bottle flat and it won't leak. Nice that it filters out cork crumbs." —Lawrol

Get it from Amazon for $9.80 (also available in several multi-packs).

Promising review: "This brand makes the cutest stuff! It’s easy to scrape the last of the stuff out of jars with this spatula. My kids always roll their eyes when I say “Why are you throwing that away?! You can scrape out the last of that for another sandwich (etc)!” But now with this, they actually do it without me asking. It has washed well in the dishwasher. I will keep buying stuff from this cute brand for sure! They also have great customer service." —sXenerdX

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in a cat version).

Promising review: "This brings omelets to my weekday breakfast. I've been trying to eat a low-carb diet, and the idea of eggs for breakfast appeals to me. But, I am *so* NOT a morning person, and getting up early to stir a low-n-slow scramble just does not work for me. I've tried microwaving eggs in custard cups, but they always turned out either soupy and underdone or firm but dry and rubbery. But this makes them Just Right, every time, in two minutes flat. That's less time than it takes me to brew my coffee. Two or three eggs, some herbs, a few chopped veggies, and perhaps a sprinkle of cheese makes for a quick, easy, and tasty breakfast." —Vanilla Chameleon

Promising review: "I bought a set of these years ago (about 10 years ago) for myself and my mother-in-law. Mine are still going strong, but she managed to wear hers out, so I ordered her another set. When my dad saw them, he wanted a pair. They both have arthritis in their hands and have tremendous difficulty opening jars and bottles. These grippers allow them to to get a strong enough grip to open all kinds of jars and bottles. The different shapes work great for different types of containers — the flats ones work well for just about anything with a lid; the cone shaped one is great for water bottles, salad dressing, etc. I would highly recommend for anyone with arthritis or a weak grip." —MGS

Check out a TikTok of the watermelon cutter in action. Note: Make sure you cut the top of the watermelon off before using the cutter! 

Promising review: "Love this watermelon slicer! Makes it easy to cut the watermelon really fast and with less of a mess. Washed this several times already in the dishwasher with no problems. Very satisfying to make such nice even slices. Works well for large Costco watermelons and medium grocery store watermelons." —G Mom

Plus, it's made with a nonstick coating, so alllll of your cookie pops off the rack and onto your serving platter (or right into your mouth tbh).

Promising review: "This cooling rack holds about three dozen cookies. What I love the most about it is that it stacks on top of each other, so it takes up a lot less space. Great product for the price." —Amazon Customer

The set comes with a round shape, a square shape, and a double triangle cutter for that classic cut-sandwich shape.

Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables, but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer, so in the morning during the school year, we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak

Just sprinkle a packet of the powder into your *hot* oil, wait for it to cool down...and toss! FryAway is available in two sizes: Pan Fry (which comes with four packets, each capable of solidifying two cups of oil each) or Deep Fry (which comes with two packets, each capable of solidifying eight cups of oil each). 

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

Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it!

Promising review: "I bought this stuff because my sister swears by it. I've seen the commercials and thought, yeah sure... But first off, the fresh scent smells amazing without being overpowering. Secondly, it cleans oily, greasy stuff like a dream! My husband used my stockpot on his grill burner, resulting in it being COVERED in black sooty stuff. And everything it touched also received a healthy dose of soot. I initially tried the normal Dawn dish soap, and while it did clean it up, it was smearing it and not easy to clean. I pulled out this stuff, sprayed a bit on the pot. BOOM, it was literally clean. Seriously, awesome stuff." —Laura Pirkle

Promising review: "Was desperately seeking a garlic press after my previous one started chipping and eventually fell apart. This press is obviously more money than the replacement one I bought at the supermarket, but it is worth it. When you press a clove of garlic, the garlic actually gets minced and comes out of the press. It is easy to clean, ensuring that there is never any leftover garlic bits to find on the next use. And you don't have to look around for the other piece to push through the little holes, because it is securely attached. No chipping despite the bright red color. Also lightweight." —Susan E.

Cut off the top of your pineapple, twist the corer into the fruit (kind of like a wine bottle corkscrew), then pull it out. You now have a cored and spiral-cut pineapple in minutes!

Promising review: "OMG! Why did I take so long to get one of these? I would typically spend two or three minutes slicing up a pineapple, and I LOVE pineapple, so it's pretty common for me. Now, I can do it in 30 seconds, and that was the first time, not knowing what I was doing or what to expect. I suspect I'll have this down to 10 seconds on the next go round. Love IT! Oh, BTW, it is sturdy and seems like it should last a while." —riverseine

Promising review: "These claws are just what you need for shredding pork, chicken, beef, or any other items. The points are sharp, narrow, and long, and work well as a pair. It's much more efficient and quicker than using two forks. I thought I might have been a little extravagant in ordering this, but now I realize it is very useful beyond shredding — e.g., holding a watermelon with one hand/claw as you cut with the other hand." —J. Renfrow

Btw, this is our mid-price pick for best cast-iron skillet!

Promising review: "I own just about every make of cast iron out there and this is the BEST piece I have ever used. Pretty well seasoned from the factory , nice smooth cooking surface . I love the longer curved handle and oversized pour spouts ( they actually pour the liquid not spill it out of the pan). This has quickly become my favorite piece of cast iron and will be buying more." —Will

Promising review: "Before I bought this cheese paper I would do the cheese search in the refrigerator. After buying cheeses, opening them, and then rewrapping them in heaven knows what (namely plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic containers), it was always the same result: moldy cheese. This box contains the paper in sheets plus some stickers that you can write on with the name of the cheese and the date it was wrapped or even sell by date. There are also pictures of a sheep, cow, and goat so the source can be identified by circling or checking one of them! What I also like is that the cheeses can be rewrapped after use and amazingly the stickers still stick! The paper can also be cut to size to wrap smaller cheeses. So far I have noted that the cheeses have stayed fresh with not a trace of mold. I highly recommend this product to all cheese lovers!" —Prairie Woman

Promising review: "Why did I not buy this sooner! I've also used a regular rolling pin and eyeballed the thickness. This rolling pin is awesome, and I wish I had bought it sooner for use in making sugar cookies. No more guesswork. The rolled dough is the same thickness everywhere, making for perfect cutout cookies! I used a recipe that is good for stamped shortbread cookies and rolled 1/4", and they came out great! Not too thick or thin! I like that the thickness rings get screwed onto the ends so they won't get misplaced. The pastry mat that comes with the rolling pin is nice and large. It ensured that the cookie dough didn't stick to the counter and made clean-up easy. I recommend this!" —GE Chocolate

Promising review: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

Promising review: "I first heard about these bake-even strips on a baking blog and just had to try them out. I am so glad I did! My cakes would usually come out looking like a dormant volcano, and I'd have to spend quite some time trying to cut them down to be level, usually ending up trimming almost half the cake away! But with these bake-even strips, my cakes came out flat and pretty evenly baked without the darker, slightly overcooked edges. I even got compliments on how even my cake levels looked... A definite MUST-HAVE for those who do a lot of baking." —Shari Nakano

Promising review: "This is a great little invention. Easy to clean and store, and it pops the popcorn perfectly every single time. Save yourself a ton of money, and just buy this and pick up some unpopped kernels from the grocery store. I bought a small organic bag for $3 and got about 15-20 bowls out of it. Now I can finally have some decent microwave popcorn without having to deal with the trans fats or palm oil that all of the major brands seem to use in their products nowadays." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 15 colors).

It fits a full bag of microwave popcorn (or about four quarts if you pop your own!). Plus you can use this as a regular strainer for rinsing produce on other occasions! And it's dishwasher safe.

Promising review: "My husband loves popcorn. However, unlike me, he HATES any unpopped kernels. So after a lot of searching, we found this and ordered it. OMG......he loves this thing. And I love that I no longer have to hear him complain about how many kernels are in the bottom of his bowl! So if you want to eat popcorn without having a bunch of kernels in the bottom, DEFINITELY order this one........" —R. Harris

Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone, and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

Promising review: "Initially, I really felt silly and lazy for buying this. But after using it, I feel like a genius and wish I had bought it sooner! My kiddos love grapes, and I love how it gives me a slight peace of mind knowing it can get diced up, allowing me to briefly walk away if I need to with less worry. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and I tell everyone how awesome it is!" —Dom

Promising review: "I cannot believe that I’ve spent so much time in the past just slicing grapes and olives. This tool is absurd, ridiculous, and absolutely wonderful. The pieces are just the perfect size for salads, either savory or sweet. I’m looking forward to trying it on grape tomatoes, too. I would give it more stars if I could." —Minnie A. Hamilton

I like to have a glass of wine or two in the evenings, but I rarely finish a bottle of red within the time it takes the wine to go bad (which I find is 3-4 days). With this, my red wine lasts about a week and a half!" —LindsayRoseEliz.

I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink, and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here.

Promising review: "I read all the reviews and was intrigued by the photos, so I purchased the product. WOW! Could not believe how fast it worked. We have an old-fashioned ceramic deep sink, which I do not want to replace because of the depth. It was scratched and discolored with rust in places. I used a sponge to apply, and with a little elbow grease, the sink looks brand new!! A vintage sink that looks just like it was installed. Love the product and highly recommend! Low odor, fresh scent, not offensive." —SK

This one is cleverly designed with a spinner knob you can operate with one hand — which also locks down flat for easy storage in the fridge! And the whole thing is top-rack dishwasher safe.

Promising review: "I FINALLY decided to replace my very old salad spinner that I had to actually crank with a handle to spin the salad. lol. Wow! This one is so much easier. I fill it with water and swish it around, then dump the water and spin away. It does a great job at getting the lettuce rinsed and is much easier than my old one. I can’t believe I waited so long to buy a new one!" —Calzon

Promising review: "Don't bother looking any further at other brands, this OXO one is tops! We finally retired the last one we owned AFTER 10 years of faithful, nearly daily use. It still spun just fine, it was time to get a new inner basket, though, and so we upgraded to the newest model. This model spins effortlessly, and the STOP button works even better than the older model. At $30, it might seem expensive, but the OXO quality shines through — even after 10 years!!! Hoping this one lasts just as long." —Mike D

This one is large — perfect for families — but if you're in a 1-2 person household, you can get a smaller version for $27.95.

These are way easier to keep track of (and seal WAY better) than those silly plastic dongles that come on bread and English muffins.

Promising review: "I hate bread ties. Normally, I would just twist the end of the bag and tuck the loose part under it in the cabinet. My wife doesn't though. She twists the tie back on the bag. This wastes so much time, and is annoying. I decided to find a solution: this. It's great. It's fast, effective and reusable... Kind of pricey, but over time I'm sure it will be worth it. For the last few months it's definitely been worth it." —Ray Believeau

One roll of these will tackle a number of messes equivalent to 60 ROLLS of conventional paper towels.

Promising review: "I've had these bamboo towels for a month now and am incredibly impressed with their performance! They're much larger than a regular paper towel, thicker, softer and more absorbent. I've washed the first ones I've torn off the roll several times now and they DO survive the laundry and perform just as well afterward. I've only used five bamboo towels this month, washed them and re-used. Several times. I would have been through a whole roll of Brawny by now. One caveat...when you wash them, you're supposed to air dry them, so I haven't sent any through the dryer. And I haven't needed to, because allowing them to air dry has not affected the quality of the towels when I 're-roll' them!" —A. Clark

Promising review: "I have had my set of knives for over 10 years. I was looking to replace them when someone recommended trying to sharpen them. I hated sharpening the knives with the sharpener they came with. I wanted something easy. This was it! I sharpened all my knives with it and they are like they were when I first purchased them. This knife sharpener made it quick and easy. It saved me a lot of money from purchasing a new set. If your knives are dull, give this a try. You can't beat it for the price!" —M. Bell

Promising review: "The best small appliance I have ever bought! My husband buys the microwaveable egg sandwiches that are frozen and they are pretty expensive, especially when you buy enough for the month. He just grabs one and goes to work. So not only did this little gadget work as well as it said, it will save us money in the long run. The food is better since it's fresher, and I just couldn't believe it took five minutes. The sandwich was done and without all that messy frying and smelling up the house. Now, this is so easy, even my husband can do it without me if he had to. I want to buy one for my kids, the one at college and the newly wed. Also, the one here on Amazon was cheaper than the one I saw at the store and I had it in two days." —Mistie Morgan
