Etekcity Food Kitchen Scale

With over 60,000 bought in the past month alone, this bestselling food kitchen scale is a great addition to any kitchen. We tested it and love this scale’s accuracy and precision. It can measure up to 11 pounds, and provide it in units of ounces, grams, pounds, and milliliters. This sleek-looking stainless steel scale with its thin profile that measures just 7.3 x 5.7 x 0.6 inches is lightweight and easy to store.

Kitchen Gizmo Snap N’ Strain Collapsible Colander

Draining hot water from a pan is so much easier with this collapsible colander by Kitchen Gizmo. This clever gadget clips onto a pan or bowl of any size, eliminating the need for a separate colander. Plus, the cooked pasta or potatoes stay safely inside the pan. “It’s ingenious how this little thing will contort itself to fit whatever size pot or pan I throw at it and not let anything slip past it,” wrote one shopper. Made of flexible silicone, this colander also collapses for easy storage.

Zulay Milk Frother

This Zulay milk frother is a nifty gadget that has multiple uses. Push the button and the whisk at the end spins to whip up a creamy froth to top off a latte, a fluffy whipping cream for fruit, or egg whites for fun cocktails. It has over 38,300 five-star ratings from shoppers who use it for “all kinds of things like frothing milk, aerating wine, and mixing powdered drinks.” 

KongNai 4-Piece Kitchen Funnel Set

Funnels are handy tools to have on hand, but they can be bulky and hard to store. Enter KongNai’s kitchen funnel set that collapses down for streamlined storage. This set has four different-sized flexible silicone funnels that easily transfer wet and dry ingredients into a container. Each funnel has a hole if you want to hang them up and keep them within easy reach. Since these funnels are dishwasher safe, they’re easy to clean.  

Simple Spreading Stainless Steel Butter Spreader

This butter spreader knife has earned the approval of over 5,700 shoppers who say they no longer deal with “torn bread.” This nifty stainless steel gadget has multiple holes on the blade that the cold butter curls up through, making it easy to spread onto toast, bread, bagels, rolls, and more.

Zulay Kitchen Silicone Utensil Rest

Unlike other spoon rests, this one ensures you have more than one spot to hold utensils. This clever gadget measures 5.4 inches in diameter so it doesn’t take up a ton of space and it has four slots that can hold a slotted spoon, a spatula, and more. Made of durable silicone, it’s heat resistant so you can keep it right by the stove. After you’re done cooking, pop it into the dishwasher for easy cleanup. This shopper-loved tool comes in 16 colors, but grab it in blue for $6. 

Farberware Meat and Potato Masher

The five nylon blades on this Farberware masher make short work of prepping meat and other food. This popular gadget has raked in over 46,500 perfect ratings and one shopper uses it for everything like “mashing potatoes, eggs for egg salad, avocados for guacamole, ground meat while frying, and even mincing giardiniera for muffalettas.” This handy tool can be used on any cookware, including cast iron and nonstick.

OXO Good Grips Swivel Vegetable Peeler

The OXO Good Grips vegetable peeler has two blades that swivel and conform around the curves of produce like carrots and apples. And since it’s part of the Good Grips series, it has a cushiony large handle that is comfortable to hold and maneuver. Over 10,000 shoppers purchased it in the past month alone. At $10, it’s a great addition to any kitchen.

Ontel Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Cutter

If you like zoodles, this spiral vegetable cutter is an essential tool to have around. Simply place the zucchini or yellow squash in, twist, and a stainless steel blade cuts and pushes the spiralized noodle out. One side makes thick noodles, while the other makes thinner ones. It’s ideal for “stir fry, for soups, and especially spaghetti,” wrote one shopper. 

Seropy Roll Up Dish Drying Rack

This versatile roll up rack by Seropy measures 17.5 x 11.8 inches and is ideal for drying dishes, as it sits right over the kitchen sink. Because of its nifty design, it ensures that counters stay dry with no puddles forming on them. It has evenly spaced rods that allow air to flow and circulate, but are narrow enough to keep utensils from falling through. The gray is currently on sale for 37% off for Prime members, though it’s also available in different sizes and colors for different price points.
