1. Yueshico Stainless Steel Watermelon Slicer Cutter Knife
The YUESHICO Watermelon Slicer is the perfect solution for quickly and easily slicing watermelon into cubes! It features an automatic cutter blade, a watermelon cutting ruler for measuring up to 2CM cubes, and rounded edges and non–sharp blades for safety. Enjoy perfectly cube–shaped slices of watermelon every time with no mess, and trust in the 100% Money–Back Guarantee if something ever happens to your slicer!
Our Review:
This watermelon slicer is great for creating even cubes. It is made with stainless steel and is easy to clean right away. If you let it sit for a bit, it takes a little more effort to clean it. It cuts the watermelon into even cubes, and works best in the middle where there is a lot of melon to work with. When you get close to the rind, it is easier to just use a knife. But this is a handy gadget to have, especially if you like watermelon cubes.

Our Review
We bought this English muffin maker in Dec 2022 and it works great! It takes a few tries to get the hang of it without making a mess, but once you do, they turn out great and taste really good. The bottom of the English muffin gets nice and crisp, while the top isn’t as crisp, but if you flip it over and cook it for another minute, it’s perfect. Sausage patties work great in it, and I haven’t tried bacon yet but I can’t wait. Just talking about it has made me hungry, so I’m going to go make another one. Enjoy!
3. Peleg Design Silicone Egg Separator, Separate Egg Yolk from Egg White
This egg yolk separator is the perfect time–saving solution for baking and cooking. With a unique design, it separates the yolk from the white in a snap and is so simple and easy to use. Constructed from high quality, food safe materials, it is non–stick and dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean. Peleg Design offers a full refund if you don‘t like their product – no questions asked.
Our Review
We was skeptical at first, as we’ve tried other egg separating gadgets that just didn’t work… but this one is nothing less than miraculous. It works perfectly and easily, separating the yolks from the whites with no issue at all. This was an excellent purchase that will make my meringues much less frustrating (albeit still frustrating, but at least the egg separation won’t be the cause).
4. Chef’n Cob Corn Stripper, Yellow
The Chef‘n Cob Corn Stripper is a compact and easy–to–use tool that makes it simple to add corn to any meal. The durable stainless steel blades strip kernels off the cob in just seconds with a quick twisting/pushing motion, and the strippers are top–rack dishwasher safe. With this 2–pack, you can quickly and easily remove corn from the cob for your favorite recipes.
Our Review
We have been searching for a good corn stripper for years, and finally found one that works great! The corn stripped off easily and completely, and my only suggestion is that you should twist the cob through the tool rather than pushing it. Twist through halfway and then turn the cob around and twist through the second half.
5. Cleaning Sponge Gloves Dishwashing Cleaning Scrubber Glove for Housework, Kitchen, Bathroom Cleaning
Food Grade Silicone is a versatile tool perfect for cleaning cars, dog wash, dishes, kitchen and general household cleaning. It is made from 100% food grade silicone, non–allergenic and latex–free, and is easy to use and clean. It is heat–resistant up to 160 degrees Celsius, so it can be disinfected with boiling water or a microwave oven. Its size is approximately 13x6 inches, and it can be used for multiple purposes, such as household chores, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and pet hair wash. It also makes cleaning safer, protecting your family from any harm.
Our Review
I use them for cleaning dishes, but the bristles on one side don’t really hold soap well. They’re a bit tight and I could have gotten a size larger, but they’re handy for cooking and taking things out of the oven. They get a little warm if you hold something hot for too long, but they work great. I use them when I cook bacon in my cast iron skillet, and I can grab the handle without getting burnt. I can also use them to turn the bacon over in the pan with the grease, and they work great for that. Then I can put a little soap on them and rub my gloves under hot water and all the grease comes right off. They’re not great for washing, but they’re good protection and great for cooking.
6. Chef-Master Meat Tenderizer Tool
The Chef Master meat tenderizing tool is a high quality stainless steel tool with innovative maximum safety design to ensure comfort and safety during use. It easily slices through meat to create heat channels to tenderize and reduce cooking time. It is certified safe for use on food products and works on any piece of meat, such as beef, steak, chicken, fish, turkey, pork, and veal.
Our Review
This piece of equipment is great for grilling venison and creating incredibly tender steaks. The family quickly adopted it after learning of its success, but after a few years the two large screws holding it together became loose and eventually broke the plastic housing. A more thorough search of Amazon eventually led to finding the original brand, and after ordering a new one it works great. While the plastic housing could use an upgrade, this is still the best tool for the job.
7. KitchenAid KCM5912SX Cold Brew Coffee Maker
This Cold Brew Coffee Maker is an easy–to–use and stylish brewer that makes up to 38 oz of coffee concentrate that can be mixed with milk, water or ice to make up to 19 servings. It features a stainless steel tap to easily dispense the coffee from the refrigerator, a carrying handle for portability, a small footprint that fits in any refrigerator or kitchen counter, and a reusable stainless steel steeper to brew the beverage of your choice. The glass and stainless steel components preserve taste and the fill level indicators take the guesswork out of the brewing process. Model KCM5912 includes one 38 oz cold brew coffee maker and one reusable stainless steeper.
Our Review
I bought this as a gift for my son and I’m really glad I did! I never thought I would like cold brew coffee, but I do. My son loves it too. It’s very well made, but the strainer is very thin so you have to be careful when washing it by hand. The handle is permanent, so water gets trapped under the rim after washing. If you’re like me and you don’t like water spots, this will bother you, but it doesn’t bother my son at all. He loved the look of it. I loved that it’s a KitchenAid. You can’t go wrong with a KitchenAid. They’ve been making life better since 1919. You’ll love this coffee maker!
8. OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer
This avocado sliver can split, pit and slice avocados. The stainless steel pitter removes the pit with one quick twist. The slicer lifts the fruit from the skin in seven perfect pieces. It has a soft, comfortable non slip grip and is top rack dishwasher safe.
Our Review
I absolutely love this little gadget. I always put off purchasing it because I didn’t think avocados were that difficult to deal with. I had no idea what I had been missing. Slice, whack, scoop, and you’re done. I was amazed. If I could time travel backwards, I would buy this years ago. There aren’t too many kitchen gadgets that I love, but this is one of the few. Buy one today.
9. Sunkuka Premium Garlic Press Set – Large Capacity Stainless Steel Mincer
This Sunkuka garlic press bundle is perfect for all garlic lovers! With its extra–large capacity stainless steel press and the included smart peeler silicon tube and mini–brush, you can have delicious, fresh crushed garlic quickly and effortlessly. The ergonomically designed heavy duty handles make it very comfortable and easy to use, even for those with small hands or weak wrists. The 18/10 stainless steel and commercial grade materials make it of top quality and very easy to clean with the included mini–brush.
Our Review
This kitchen gadget has made it so easy to use garlic because I don’t have to peel the cloves anymore. I just put one garlic clove at a time into the gadget with the skin on, and it comes out crushed. The skin is left behind in the gadget, and I just remove it and put in the next clove. The skin usually has a thin layer of garlic on it, so I try to peel that off and use it instead of wasting it. I don’t know if I explained this well, but I’m overall very happy with this purchase. No more peeling garlic!
10. Prepara B000YMQPWQ Trio-Tri Blade Peeler
This set of blades is perfect for the home chef. Made of high–quality Japanese surgical steel, they are designed for maximum performance and durability. The blades are safely nested within the ergonomic handle, which is comfortable to use whether you are right or left–handed. The soft blade is ideal for peeling soft–skinned fruits and vegetables, while the firm blade is great for peeling hard produce, and the julienne blade can create perfect julienne strips for salads and garnishes.
Our Review
We are very pleased with their new peeler. We were surprised at how sharp the plastic tip was and how comfortable the handle is. It peels potatoes with ease, and the 3 different blades come with a convenient base. The price was nice, and the we would buy it again for friends.
11. Etekcity Food Kitchen Scale, Digital Grams and Ounces for Weight Loss
This digital scaler is an accurate measurement tool that can weigh up to 5 kg/11 lbs precisely in 1 g increments. It has a unit conversion feature that allows you to select your preferred units, such as oz/lb:oz/fl’oz/g/mL, which is useful for following recipes. It also has a tare function that allows you to subtract the weight of the container from the final measurement. The backlit LCD display allows you to easily read measurements. It is built with quality 304 food–grade, stainless steel platform, making it perfect for measuring food, small items, and liquids.
Our Review
This scale is an affordable option that works great. The only downside is the button cutouts, which may not be waterproof. When cleaning, I try to avoid getting the buttons wet, as I‘m not sure if moisture can enter through them. Despite this, I haven‘t had any issues, so I‘m giving the scale five stars.
