Say Goodbye To Microwave Mess With Angry Mama: The Essential Cleaning Sidekick!
Review: "She steams all the gunk loose and makes it extremely easy to wipe clean. I like that we don't have to use any harsh sprays. Everyone needs an Angry Mama to clean their Microwave!" - StraightUp Reviews
Save Your Sinks From Drips With The Handy Silicone Mat!
Review: "Something so simple, but absolutely necessary. Love it!" - Amazon Customer
Trust me on this: don't get silicone or plastic spongeholders. Get metal ones (like stainless steel). Nasty black/green mold/mildew gunk WILL grow on the silicone and plastic ones, no matter how dry you try to keep them. Because silicone is permeable, the mildew will actually permeate the material and stain it (and make it look constantly mildewy/moldy.) My family has owned a housecleaning service for over 30 years. Get a stainless steel holder/organizer, and if it attaches with suction cups, remember to remove the suction cups periodically and clean them too, as they're permeable as well XD
Seal The Flavor: Mini Bag Re-Sealer, Food Storage Made Easy!
Review: "This little iron is very handy. Great for resealing plastic bags. Even though it is small it is made in a way to fit over a full sized bag of chips as shown in my pics. It heats up in 30 seconds and comes in a nice little case. Very Cool! The main reason I wanted something like this is that I often buy fancy crackers or nuts for charcuterie boards and by the time I have my next party the items have gone stale . .. this is a way to really save on those and keep the fresh in between parties!" - Laura Graham
Stay Sweet With Brown Sugar Bear: Unlock The Secret To Soft And Heavenly Sugar!
Review: "All my ingredients are stored in air tight jars, but this unfortunately results in hard brown sugar. I grew tired of wasting time microwaving my sugar and finally bought this little guy. Works like a charm! Easy to use and saves me time whenever I get a free afternoon to bake some cookies. Would totally recommend!" - b
Get Creative In The Kitchen With Splatypus Jar Spatula: The Ultimate Scoop 'N' Scrape Tool!
Review: "Taking it out of the package the duckbill looks like a bit of a weird product. I wasn’t sure I remembered what it was meant for. But then.. my peanut butter jar was ALMOST empty, just some on the sides at the bottom. The bill does an amazing job scraping at those last little bits, getting every ¢ of PB.. which these days is so important!" - Sharon 203
Mushroom Magic: Ototo Foldable Kitchen Funnel, Funneling Made Fun!
Review: "If you are looking for a big funnel- this is not it. But this is exactly the size I was looking for! So cute! It’s useful, easy to store, and easy to wash." - Sophie4yuhh
Can't Handle The Can? Kitchen Mama Auto Electric Can Opener Gives You The Upper Hand!
Review: "I moved and lost this can opener. I bought several different ones to replace it and they were all horrible. I had to go back in to my order history to find what I had originally ordered. It opens cans effortlessly! No sharp edges and it’s just a sturdy, great buy!" - HonestC
Again, very rarely works properly. Can lids are surprisingly not standard. Invest in a proper electric can opener if you need one.
Keep Your Counters Clean With Red The Crab Silicone Utensil Rest: A Cute & Handy Companion!
Review: "Whether it’s the middle of the day or the middle of the night, the pot crab has you holding your utensils for the inevitable victory and helping you cook whatever you need, this crab will be your right claw." - CParsons
What is the point of a utensil rest that can't catch drippings from said utensil? Another direct-to-landfill item.
Pancake Perfection Is Just A Shake Away: Batter Up With The Whisk-Tastic Bottle!
Review: "I was pretty skeptical about it at first, another thing I like but then put away and never use again but it seriously cut out majority of the mess of making pancakes! Absolutely love this product! 10 out of 10! Maybe even 11! My two year old asks for pancakes all the time and now it’s not that hard! It’s still a task to do but monumentally easier to accomplish!" - Emma bailey
Hands-Free Baggy Magic: Jokari Original Adjustable Rack Stand, Convenience At Its Best!
Review: "I bought these to help me make a bunch of freezer meals and they were AWESOME! I love that they adjust in height since my bags were a few different sizes. They hold the bags without slipping and I was able to easily dump all my items into the bag. My only regret was that I only bought 3 of them, wish I had bought more!" - Kristia P.
Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker: Rule The Morning With Egg-Cellent Sandwiches!
Review: "This breakfast sandwich maker is a no-frills countertop appliance that only has one job: to help you assemble your breakfast sandwich (while cooking your egg and toasting the bread). It does it well, as long as you follow the instructions. Oh, and their website does have recipes for this and all of their appliances. 5 stars." - Mr. 929
Bee's Wrap: Seal The Deal With Nature's Sticky Sweetness - Wrap, Rinse, Repeat!

First thing here worth having. Couple it with an extension magnet
Thaw Like A Boss With Thaw Claw: Unfreeze Meat 7x Faster, No More Waiting!
Review: "I'm actually really impressed with this. It's one of those products you don't really think you need until you actually have it and then wonder why you didn't get it sooner. It's not too big or bulky so it doesn't take up that much room to store when I'm not using it. The suction cup works good and stays put while it's underwater and of course it does a great job at actually holding my meats under the water for an even thaw of the meat. Normally I have to find other ways to hold it down or its not all the way out so it does not thaw all the way properly. With this it thaws and I don't have to worry about making sure it's still under water and this hold it perfectly." - Nikoll
Or you could use a plate like a normal person and then not have to find room in your kitchen to store this plastic junk.
Rise And Dine In Style: Breakfast Maker Station - The Day Starts Here!
Review: "I didn't know I would like this as much I do! It's small and great for meals for 1 to 2 people. This is a great little machine to have in the kitchen! Easy for my kids to use as well." - chef4disney
Slice And Dice Like A Pro With The Ultimate Vegetable Chopper: Simplify Your Prep Game!
Review: "As a mom of 2 toddlers and prepping and cooking vegan family meals daily, this definitely cuts my prep time literally more than in half! The blazes are super duper sharp, so definitely be careful. I put it together wrong the first time, but after I flipped the blade over correctly, this bad boy cuts through veggies like a pro!! I absolutely love this!" - Priscilla Baldwin
You’re going to be in a great mood all day, because you’re going be slapping your troubles away with the Slap Chop. Now, look here’s a potato. One slap you got big chunks for stew, two slaps home fries in a second. And, look at this when you add a mushroom: the more you do it, the finer it gets you don’t have to switch any blades. Now, you love salad -- you hate making it. You know you hate making salads -- that’s why you don’t have any salad in your diet. Watch this one slap... salad! I love Pizza too, but once in a while get the veggies in, at least throw it on top of the pizza. You’re going to change your eating habits. Soup, Coleslaw, stuff we want, 5 seconds. 4 or 5 seconds, it's done. This thing, this tuna looks boring. Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life. Add this tuna putting it in like this now you’re going to have a nice, tuna, salad. Look at this you’re going to have an exciting life now. Look here’s a hard boiled egg. One chop, you add the pickle; you ad
Sink Your Fangs Into Flavor With Gracula Garlic Crusher - It's Time To Get Vampy In The Kitchen!
Review: "This garlic crusher is both adorable and functional. I was able to easily crush 4 decently sized cloves of garlic in one go with very little effort. He looks cute, he crushes garlic and ginger, what more can you ask for?! Also, surprisingly easy to clean with all of the nooks and crannies!" - Heather Tuttle
Slice Bagels Like A Pro With The Original Bagel Guillotine: A Game-Changer For Breakfast!
Review: "There’s a scene in Jurassic Park where the kids are playing with a set of headset binoculars. Grumpy Adult says “Are they heavy? Then they’re expensive, put ‘‘em down.” First thing out of the box, even before the bubble wrap was removed, I was surprised at the weight. It obviously wasn’t going to easily break. I found the design of it aesthetically pleasing. Unexpected. It’s color was exactly as depicted in listing. I was especially happy that it was attractive enough to have out on the counter. Turned sideways it takes up very little space. I’ve used it for close to 2 weeks. I love it. I don’t eat those mushy, bread-y, faux bagels. It’s dense, chewy bagels for me. This device is incredible, the shield holds the sides perfectly so the bagel can’t move. One easy push down—perfect slice. No sticking, self-injury risk, uneven bagel slice. Yup. It’s heavy (reasonably), and I’m putting it down. On my counter. Love it." - JZ
I tried using one of those....ONCE. It crushed my bagel while not slicing it very well.
Never Deal With Messy Spills Again - The Dry Food Dispenser Is Your New Kitchen Sidekick!
Review: "Ive been thinking about creating a snack/breakfast corner for the kids and this seemed like the perfect addition... It definitely was. The quality of the product is really good and sturdy. It is extremely easy to assemble. Super easy for the kids to use." - Genius Idea
not very good for breakfast, this only works well with solid foods (beans, rice, etc.) the cereals are crushed by the rotating wheel
Fridge-Y Goodness With A Twist: Chef'n Fridgefork Condiment Fork, Pick Your Toppings!
Review: "If eating pickles couldn’t be more fun! My son loves using this and keeps down on cleaning forks all the time or having wet fingers" - Sara Hudson
So your master plan is to just leave the dirty fork in the fridge? I'm pretty sure you can do that without this plastic thing.
Fun Guy Fridge Deodorizer: Say Goodbye To Funky Fridge Smells, Hello Freshness!
Review: "I love this little fella. Cute container for baking soda. Fits perfectly in the fridge in a bunch of little nooks here and there. Easy to clean too." - Charlie B
Dear Bored Panda. Please stop trying to be Buzzfeed. And please stop selling stuff. Not cool.
I like this. At least we can see what pandas that have used the product have to say. Bagel slicer? Sh1t. Garlic crusher? Stinks after use. These are the reviews I'm here for 😁
Load More Replies...This post is better than most. I counted 5 actually useful things.
Load More Replies...All are either made of plastic or would take up so much space, they’re not worth it to me
Ok but tbh I got the Angry Mama from a buzzfeed list and it works super well lol the rest.... eh
