Bagel Guillotine
Bagel-lovers, rejoice. This editor-tested bagel guillotine cuts straight through bagels, leaving you with two, evenly sliced halves: Every. Single. Time! We were impressed with the guillotine’s sharp blade that perfectly cut through a day-old New York bagel (which is extra thick compared to traditional grocery store bagels). You’ll look forward to using this Amazon cooking gadget any time a bagel craving hits. Pass the cream cheese!
Handheld Blowtorch
A mini kitchen torch is useful for so much more than adding a little caramel-y crisp to your favorite creme brulee recipe (but, hey, it makes it extra delicious, too). You can also use it to char vegetables, add color and caramelization to sous vide cooking or make your homemade mac ‘n’ cheese all beautifully browned and bubbly on top. Plus, it’s just a whole lot of fun to use.
Compact Air Fryer
Air fryers are the hottest kitchen appliance around right now, but have you seen ’em in person? They’re huge! This mini-sized version takes up a fraction of the space, and it’s just plain adorable. It’s got 1.2 liters of space, so there’s still plenty of room to make a pound of healthified, crispy French fries, a dozen chicken wings and much more.
Herb Shears
A sprinkle of fresh-snipped herbs makes almost anything taste better, but they can be kind of a pain to chop into itty-bitty pieces. These genius kitchen shears have five stainless steel blades, so they can mince and chop green onions, cilantro, chives, dill and more in a breeze. Use them with any of these irresistible recipes for fresh-herb lovers.
Strawberry Huller
When strawberry season rolls around, you just can’t seem to get enough of their juicy goodness in anything from fresh pies to bright salads. This StemGem strawberry huller makes prep work a cinch—just insert it in the top, twist and the stem and core are pulled out in an instant. Sweet!
Loopy Whisk
The little metal loops in this handy wire whisk help it work 80% more efficiently than regular whisks, making it easier than ever to whip up the fluffiest-ever scrambled eggs, airy meringues or super smooth gravy.
Psst! You might also appreciate this adorable penguin egg holder.
Produce Keeper
This produce keeper from OXO Good Grips is going to save you big. It’s specially designed to keep produce fresher for longer, meaning you don’t need to rush to eat all those berries or greens.
Jalapeno Corer
A little spice is nice, but getting fiery jalapeno juices all over your fingers when prepping your favorite salsa can lead to seriously painful results. This helpful jalapeno corer effortlessly scoops and deseeds the insides of your peppers so you don’t have to get in there and touch the spicy interior. Plus, it leaves the pepper whole (but cored), so making homemade jalapeno poppers just got even more enticing.
Bacon Press
Bacon is undoubtedly one of life’s greatest pleasures, but when it gets all curled up and fatty on the ends, it can be a real bummer. This bacon press holds down the slices in your skillet to keep those curls at bay, leaving you with uniformly flat, perfectly crisp bacon that’s great on its own, or in any of these ultimate bacon-lovers’ recipes.
Flour-Shaking Rolling Pin
This double-duty rolling pin not only helps you create the smoothest pie crusts and perfect cut-out cookies (its ceramic construction helps keep the dough from sticking), but its hollow core is the perfect place to store extra flour. Need to sprinkle a little more on your pastry mat? Just shake through the holed end and keep on rollin’.
Greens and Herbs Stripper
A diet rich in leafy greens is so good for you, but stripping the goodness from the stem can be a stressful chore. This handheld greens stripper has four holes on each side, where you can insert kale, swiss chard, collard greens or woody herbs and simply pull to remove the leaves from the stem. What’s more, the curved side acts as an herb chopper to make quick prep work with one tool.
Tech-Savvy Scale
At first sight, the Drop Scale looks like any other digital scale on the market, but using its compatible app on your smartphone or tablet transforms it into a brilliant tool for baking and cooking. Simply pull up a recipe, pour in its ingredients, and the app will tell you when to stop, so each ingredient is perfectly measured by weight as you go. It’s the foolproof answering to whipping up nearly anything in your kitchen, but is a true game-changer when baking, where measuring flour by weight is best practice.
Multipurpose Hand Blender
An immersion blender itself is an amazingly functional tool that can help create the creamiest butternut squash bisque or whir up a delicious morning smoothie. But when it functions as a food chopper and a hand-mixer, as well? That’s space-saving brilliance, friends. This three-in-one version has three speeds and comes with a BPA-free blending jar and handy storage bag, too.
