- So 10 kitchen gadgets you need on Amazon in 2024.
And these are seriously some of the coolest
and most practical items I've ever reviewed on my channel.
Point one starts with a mess free snacking solution,
and this glass pickle jar with flip strainer is
for any fellow pickle lovers
or those who have struggled chasing olives
around the bottom of a jar.
I thought this design was rather ingenious.
In addition to the airtight seal to keep food fresh longer,
anything in a brine can quickly be accessed
without any splashing or having to drain out some
of that liquid to locate your treasures.
If you pack a lunch for school
or work, this electric lunchbox will keep your meals warm
with the utensils included in a Bento style design up top
that's great for fruit or snacks.
The internal components are dishwasher safe,
and thanks to the included DC adapter,
this could also be great for long road trips.
In the number two spot,
it's something clever to protect your counters.
I guess in some sense, it's an age-old problem.
How do you easily transfer chopped food from counter to pot
or plate in your kitchen?
This bench scraper folds
so celery seamlessly arrives at its destination,
or even the messiest of baking ingredients like flour
or chopped veggies like broccoli get where they need to go.
This next gadget can help anyone combat the rising cost
of groceries or better enjoy the benefits of canning.
This one push start super canner is USB rechargeable,
has a handy LED display, and works with both regular
and wide mouth mason jars.
Simply place whatever contents you want to can
or preserve, attach the vacuum sealer,
and then in seconds, you can extend the life
of your produce,
ensuring a much longer lasting seal of freshness.
This is effortless preservation at its best.
This eight pack of collapsible measuring cups is one
of my favorite collections that I've tested from Amazon
amongst many others in the past.
First off, look how compact they are.
All eight compressed are still smaller
than a one cup size glass measuring cup,
which means this could easily fit in a drawer.
The food grade dishwasher safe silicone
and textured handle make it simple
to measure whatever it is your heart desires.
In the number three spot, a gadget that's forever changed
how I chop.
This two pack of cup slicers eliminates the need
for a knife while ensuring you get a much more even slice
of your favorite fruits and veggies.
Those often somewhat messy kitchen chores are now
about to change.
From chopping to chickens,
in this case, it's a chicken shaped egg separator.
Let's face it, many
of the egg yolk separators on the market are not great,
and I was shocked
that the slightly ridiculous design worked so well.
This cute little chicken was seamless
in its performance and it's also dishwasher safe.
By the way, if you are enjoying this video, feel free
to give it a thumbs up as that really helps my channel.
For point four, a solution
to greatly improve how you grocery shop.
I'm sure by now you likely have some reusable shopping bags
you bring with you, but for warehouse clubs like Costco
or Sam's or any retailer that uses larger carts,
this set of three shopping cart bags extends
for full cart coverage to get the job done.
The set even includes a dedicated insulated bag to help
with everything from frozen food to ice cream.
And while they are expensive, if you consider the cost
of the contents, whether it's fragile eggs
or a bottle of wine, they also diminish the chances
of an accident when transferring straight
from the shopping cart to your car.
If you're not a warehouse club shopper, I'll also link
to a smaller version for regularly sized grocery carts.
From the way I'm talking,
you can likely guess I've dropped a drink or two in my day.
So this fold away cup carrier caddy is fantastic for any
of those office heroes who make coffee runs
or if you're attending a sports game or concert,
trying to transport multiple beverages to your seat.
For the purposes of this demonstration,
I'm a dad bringing his 22 month old his favorite drinks
and I found this highly durable
and it's certainly one of those items you'd never think you
need until you've learned of its existence.
This robo can opener is one
of my all time favorite Amazon kitchen gadgets,
powered by two AA batteries
and possessing more upper arm strength than I'll ever have.
Simply place this on top of any jar or can
and in under 30 seconds it does all the twisting
and turning for you.
You don't even need to hold the jar or can in place.
So if you have any dexterity
or mobility issues, this would be extremely useful.
For point five, I have a favorite gadget tied to defrosting.
Behold the Thaw Claw,
a suction cup equipped tripod-like art easel
to ensure even the largest of frozen food items,
including this one pound
of Turkey meat stays submerged underwater
for a quicker thaw.
While I wish this was cheaper, it is made in the USA
and I cut down on my defrosting time by almost half.
Speaking of awesome time savers,
if you enjoyed baked potatoes or boiled corn,
you understand how tedious those tasks can be.
This two pack of microwave potato bags takes no more than
four minutes to perfect a baked potato in the microwave.
For those in a hurry or if you're in college
or without a stove,
this even produces equally delicious corn,
which I sampled the second it cooled off.
These bags even took care of fajitas in a fraction
of the time it would take to wait for our oven to warm up.
For point six, it's a gadget to power wash your dishes
or even other areas of your home.
This rechargeable cordless spin scrubber is a bit
of an investment.
It could save you a lot of time,
and it contains multiple brush heads
alongside this detachable pole for household cleaning.
In seconds, it removed grime from the bottom
of a pot I'd prefer not to put in our dishwasher.
And for something like a delicate plate,
it cleaned perfectly.
Our five-year-old finds household cleaning therapeutic,
and this was lightweight enough for her
to use on the interior of a shower with success.
And while we're on the topic of cleaning,
to make this a full family affair,
I visited my parents' house with this three pack
of coffee maker cleaners as they have a Keurig,
and graciously agreed
that I could test this product for them.
My mom was shocked at the level of hard water staining
and mineral buildup before I put these tablets to work.
Here's the before and now for the
after where there is most definitely a substantial
improvement with precisely zero elbow grease required.
None of these products are sponsored,
although I do use affiliate links,
which means I could benefit monetarily if you are kind
enough to use one of my links.
Point seven is for meal planning or those tight on fridge
and freezer space.
This two pack of food block makers gives you perfect,
stackable, frozen portions to handle all sorts
of leftover food, no containers required.
All I had to do was grab two bags, attach them,
and then pour a stew
and spaghetti into the freezer food blocks
and with no mess, they went straight into the freezer.
After just a few hours, I removed the silicone shells
and I was left with perfectly frozen portions of food.
And compared to the amount of space your typical containers
of food occupy in a freezer, you can see the difference side
by side on my freezer shelf,
these blocks make a big difference.
Sticking with our space saving food theme for a moment,
this four pack of collapsible food storage containers
with airtight lids puts an end to the incessant clutter
inside our drawers.
These fridge and freezer ready,
dishwasher and microwave safe beauties
with a pullout vent offer some very largely sized interiors.
And while I apologize
for the slight mess I made on my counter, I was attempting
to demonstrate just how roomy these are compared
to their glass counterpart without the whole fragile factor.
Money saving and decluttering go hand in hand
for point eight.
And if you're like me, any extra sauce packets
or spare condiments from takeout make their way
to your fridge.
These door hanging storage boxes take on the task
of better containing your condiment clutter
or your Chick-fil-A sauce souvenirs by securing to a door.
They keep things organized with a nice universal fit
for any fridge.
Even cheese slices or seasonings would sit well here.
And while we're on the topic of containers,
I'm not sure why it was only until recently
that there have never been long enough containers
to store longer pieces of meat like spare ribs or bacon.
These bacon refrigerator containers claim
to increase the freshness
for bacon longer than traditional packaging,
and I think they look rather premium
with the dishwasher safe stainless steel design
and easy to clean airtight lids.
If you enjoy dumplings or steam veggies,
for my next point,
this extremely well rated Joseph Joseph folding steamer
basket has changed my relationship with steaming.
This sits perfectly in a pot you already have
and whether it's cauliflower, broccoli,
or in the case of this demonstration, dim sum,
this handle makes it incredibly easy
to transfer whatever it is you've prepared to a plate.
Your final result is no mess.
And for me, deliciously steam dumplings
with hardly any effort required.
Speaking of steaming
and the elimination of mess, this two pack
of anti spillover silicone covers does exactly
what its title suggests and then some.
Yes, they fit well onto various pots.
They prevent the water from boiling onto your stove,
but the vented flowers up top allow you
to simultaneously boil and steam.
I boiled tortellini with a side
of steam broccoli all at the same time.
I was able to make orzo and steamed corn.
And if you have an induction stove like we do, it's crucial
to have that boil over prevention in place
as our stove turns off if it detects a water spill,
which is the case for many induction and electric stoves.
Before I get to the bonus section,
this next gadget could help prevent burns.
And I'm ashamed to admit I have burnt my wrist
one too many times removing items from the oven.
While oven mitts are great for any time you need
to rotate food or maneuver baking,
this silicone oven rack push tool is highly practical,
compact, and yes,
that safety component is a serious plus.
If you frequently use your oven,
this four pack of silicone baking trays eliminates that need
to clean those larger clunky baking pans that never fit well
inside a dishwasher.
These BPA free pre-portioned squares
and rectangles accommodate all sorts of food.
And because they're detached,
you can remove individualized ingredients
when their cooking times are complete.
One of the best rice cookers I've ever tested is
this one from Joseph Joseph.
It can make rice for up
to eight people simply using the microwave.
And if you don't have a stove
or you don't always succeed cooking rice,
this produces perfect results.
Follow the measurements for water depending upon the size
of your batch, and then place it in the microwave
where your cooking time is anywhere from eight
to 18 minutes.
Your final result, perfect fluffy rice
that you can stir and serve with the included spatula.
This gadget and all of its components are dishwasher safe.
Our bonus section begins with a hidden flower pot safe
for anyone that wants to hide valuables around your kitchen.
Now, the key thing to keep in mind is these work
with plants you already have
or you can buy your own plant to put on top
of the lockable base.
I figured a cactus would deter most people to begin with,
and that's before cash, keys,
or even my wedding ring
that sometimes sits on the window sill when I'm working
with meat, all easily go inside.
Alternatively, you could just put your keys
or cash inside this can of Comet.
That's right, this Comet cleaning diversion safe
is a brilliant way to quickly stash valuables
in a less obvious place
than a locked drawer or household safe.
This 18 count pack of silicone rubber bottle caps works
with all sorts of beverages where it's impossible
to get those pressurized bottle caps back on.
For those times where you can't finish a beverage
or maybe you want to keep bugs out
of a beer while you barbecue
or for easier transportation, these work well.
My only word of caution is while these prevent spilling,
I would not tip them all the way over
as the pressure from the carbonation will make them explode
all over your counter as I learned the hard way.
Thanks so much for watching, I love you, bye-Bye.
