7 New Kitchen Releases to Grab Now

As a food writer and recipe developer, I own a lot of kitchen gear, but I’m always on the lookout for more. This is mostly because it’s part of my job to test the latest and greatest gadgets, but it’s also because I love a Le Creuset color drop just as much as the next person. 

After scrolling through Amazon’s digital aisles, I found a few tools that I can’t wait to add to my collection. From a Fullstar x Ototo vegetable chopper to Beast’s newest blender, these are the seven clever releases I’m eyeing, starting at just $9.  

Best Amazon Kitchen Releases  

Beast Blender Mighty 850 

“Beast is the rare blender brand that pays as much attention to aesthetics as it does to function,” wrote Food & Wine editors of the company’s beloved mini model. They also found it to be “quiet and easy to clean,” which are two attributes that go a long way when blending sticky fruit juice with ice cubes. Now that the brand has launched “The Mighty 850” with its more powerful motor and wider range of accessories, I’m chomping at the bit to try it out for myself.       

Fullstar x Ototo Vegetable Croc Chop 

Another Food & Wine editor-favorite for its “super sharp blades” and shockingly efficient design is Fullstar’s manual vegetable chopper. I didn’t think it was possible, but the brand made its chopper even better by partnering with Ototo to revamp its design. It has all the same features — small and large dice and ribbon and spiral blades — but now in a cute crocodile design. Yes, please.   

Stanley Quencher 30-Ounce ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler 

Stanley launched its ProTour line just last month, and it’s still ranking as the No. 1 best kitchen release at Amazon. It seems that shoppers can’t get enough of its new-and-improved leakproof lid for easy sipping and worry-free traveling. Shop it in nine colors and four sizes before they all sell out.  

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Shallow Heart Cocotte

Le Creuset wants to prepare you for Valentine’s Day with its heart-shaped cocotte. It’s made of the same enameled cast iron that’s a hallmark of the brand, meaning your seasonal purchase will last for years in your kitchen. It’s more akin to artwork than it is cookware.   

Generic Store Mini Bag Sealer 

Toss your chip clips and grab this electric mini bag sealer while it’s on sale for less than $10 at Amazon. One shopper wrote that it “seals bags perfectly, ensuring chips and snacks stay crisp and fresh.” Plus, it comes with a charging cable for convenience and a hidden blade for added functionality.    

Ailibote Electric Can Opener 

Another appliance that takes some of the hassle out of cooking is Ailibote’s electric can opener. Simply set it on the rim of your can, press a button, and watch it rotate on its own. The best part? It’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, making it easy to store.  

Lidifc Chicken Shredder Tool

Amazon shoppers swear by this tool for shredding meat “in just a few seconds” thanks to its spiked design. Whether you’re breaking down a rotisserie chicken to add to enchiladas or cooked pork shoulder for pulled pork, this clever contraption will certainly come in handy. Plus, it’s dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
