Cool Kitchen Gadgets

These cool kitchen gadgets take the fiddly parts out of everyday cooking. Mince garlic with one button using a USB rechargeable mini chopper, open cans hands-free, froth milk for lattes, and spray or pour oil from one glass bottle. There is also a 12-piece vegetable chopper, a digital measuring spoon scale, a press release ice cube tray, black walnut and silicone utensil sets, and a 16 oz overnight oats jar.

How to Pick Kitchen Gadgets You Will Actually Use

Drawers fill up fast with tools that get used once. Before adding a gadget, ask whether it replaces a task you do every week. If it does, it will earn its spot.

Gadgets that save time every day

  • Electric garlic chopper: one-button chopping, with a bowl and blade that come apart for cleaning.
  • Vegetable chopper and dicer: stainless steel blades for onions, herbs and nuts, no electricity needed.
  • Oil sprayer and pourer: a 65° mist for air fryer baskets and salads, or tilt it to pour.
  • Handheld milk frother: three speeds and three heads for lattes, whipped cream and egg whites.

Protect your pans

If you cook with nonstick, use wood or silicone tools. Black walnut utensils and silicone heads with beech handles are gentle on coated surfaces.

Cleaning and care

The vegetable chopper and rocker garlic press are dishwasher safe. Wipe rechargeable gadgets by hand and keep the charging port dry. Hand wash wooden utensils and dry them right away so the wood does not crack.
