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
I'm going to put this in the microwave at work and maybe she'll scare my colleagues into cleaning up their mess
Just put a coffee cup of water on high for 5 min for the same results.
Load More Replies...Or you can just put a cup of water in the microwave and let the steam from that loosen everything without spending money on a gadget.
We have this exact model at home, it's called "Señora Enfadada"/"Sciura Incacchiata"... we are a bilingual home ;)
I love it! XD I'm white but was adopted into a Hispanic/Mexican family, this object would absolutely get called "Señora Enfadada" at home ;)
Load More Replies...If you think it’s cute, go for it, but honestly, a mug of water does the same thing without wasting money or adding more plastic to the environment.
A Pyrex bowl, a coffee cup, or even a heavy glass with water will do the job. Easy to wipe out, and the items are already in your cabinet so you don't have to add to the rampant environmental degradation. If you want to spend your money on a plastic, get one of those microwave covers that spare the mess in the first place. |||| Okay, next day and I've got to edit this. Just now, I was telling my neighbor about this stupid post and how a cup of water is just as good for free. She goes into her kitchen, grabs something, and turns around: This? Is this what you're talking about? I died. I literally slid down the wall in hysterics. Yep, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
Once the water is boiling turn it off and leave it sit for 10 min

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
You are not supposed to let it just sit there for weeks without cleaning it!

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
You moisten it a bit and it regulates the humidity in your closed container, keeping your brown sugar from turning into a brick.
Load More Replies...Sugars shouldn't do that in an airtight container. My brown sugar has been good for a year at least now. Check your seal
They should be in an airtight container,they should not be in a vacuum sealed container(as it causes caking/bricking)
Load More Replies...Same, my mom gave me one when I went off to college back in the 90's. Still have the same one.
Load More Replies...Growing up in the 70's it was just a fact that brown sugar would go hard. (We knew all the tricks like bread etc.) Something is different now though, I think it's been 20 years since I've had a bag go hard and all I do is put it in Tupperware. I live in a very dry area, usually 0% humidity if that matters.
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
I mean, if you fold the two top corners in (like making a paper airplane), then double fold the result downwards, and then use a clip to keep it shut, you get the same result and.. oh look! I didn't have to buy anything extra! 😲
wooden clothespins, You can get 100 of them at walmart for a couple of dollars.
I use Klippets - plastic cups that come in many sizes. Absolutely brilliant.
These do not work well. Tried them over the years. Don’t waste your money, use a clothespin.

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
Bought a knock off version of this fr Amazon, was one of my best kitchen purchases ever. Had a wrist injury on my dominant hand that left it immobilized close to a year, I couldnt twist a doorknob to open a door. This thing got me thru so much frustration and works very well. My wrist is better now and my husband and I still use it all the time, never went back to manual.
I had to buy one recently as for years now where I live all cans come with ring pulls and then I bought a tin of corned Beef which had lost it's key
Why was this comment down voted? Without the key, it's a regular can that requires a can opener.
Load More Replies...Love mine, use daily, batteries last a long time…very happy with it!

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
As a lazy person who hates to cook anything I kind of like this idea! I hate cleaning up after I cook too. So for me it wouldn't be a waste of money. That kind of thing is personal anyway - how can you decide for someone else what wasting money looks like??
Load More Replies...Totally a waste of money. You still must mix your batter, then you must fill this, and even if you can squirt the batter out well, it often doesn’t all come out. Then you must take it apart and clean it. Unless you are making special occasion pancakes that require a thin stream to use a ladle, or a pitcher youi’ve mixed this batter in, and a scraper to get all the batter out.
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.
Depending on the size of the bag, just use cups, jugs or whatever you have in your kitchen, who needs yet more bits of plastic.
These are one of the very few kitchen gadgets which can actually be worth it. I’ve also used mine as drying racks for food bags.
Agreed. One of the few items in this list that's genuinely useful.

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
I have one too. I never use it because it takes less time, effort, and cleaning to just use pans on the stove top. Thing leaks, falls apart while cooking, and does a crappy job of cooking.
Load More Replies...I have one. Messy to use and hard to clean, as the base is not immersible. But it makes good sandwiches.
I have the dual version. I love it. Doesn't leak if preheat as instructions say. Allows the metals to expand and seal
Not worth it. Actual review videos by users show it is very messy and inconsistent. Use a toast and pan (separately).
I have the small George Forman 'grill' and have been making sandwiches on it for years. Didn't realize that I need yet another appliance to collect dust in the pantry. Which was added to the kitchen for the once a year used appliances.
Bought my wife one back in 2020. She used it everyday so we got another one a year later to replace it
Bee's Wrap: Seal The Deal With Nature's Sticky Sweetness - Wrap, Rinse, Repeat!
Review: "These are great! At room temp, they are soft and easy to wrap and once in the fridge, the wax gardens and makes them more sturdy and gives them a great grip." - Shon
Since beeswax has natural antimicrobial characteristics, all you need to do is wipe them down in cool water with a lightly sudsy sponge. And if they lose their waxiness you can reheat them on a cookie sheet in the oven to around 200 fahrenheit and simply let the wax re-melt and redistribute. It's like magic, and you don't have to throw them away. Just don't use them for meat.
Cloth, equal parts beeswax and resin... A few drops of jojoba oil or maybe olive oil may work. Heat the things, paint on cloth, bake at 175 until it melts again to get it really in and even.
Load More Replies...Bees wax wraps/bags are amazingly expensive and sticky. After about 2 uses and cold water rinsing they still stick like the dickens, but don't hold enough beeswax to be sealed off anymore. I'd rather stick with plain old saran wrap!
You can stick the microwave for a few seconds and get it renewed. I also make them at home and so they're cheap and I can burn them as opposed to them going to waterways.

Get Your Grip On With The Flexi-Grabber Claw: The Ultimate Tool For Unclogging The Kitchen Sink
Review: "This little piece of gold came in very handy when my one year old threw a bottle cap down the drain. This baby had it out within minutes. Not to mention, it was shipped and delivered in one day. Highly recommend this product 100%." - Hilary Rader
As a machinist and someone who works on their car, I've used these for over 30 years and have one at work and one at home. DEFINITELY worth having one.
These have been around in the automotive repair industry for decades. I have three of them in my toolbox.
I know them as a jewelers claw. My dad used to use them for holding gemstones without smearing skin oil on them.
You can have one in 15 minutes. They are available at any auto parts store in the tool section.
Review: "I filled this sprayer with my favorite olive oil to keep my cast iron pan well oiled, it works great!" - Bentley
Once the pan is fully seasoned, you really shouldn't need to worry about what kind of oil you're using, unless you're planning on using the pan in the same high heat settings you would use for initial seasoning -- because otherwise you're probably not going to reach the smoke point of the olive oil. Just wipe the oil when you're done cooking, and don't worry about it.
Load More Replies...What this IS great for is oiling a roasting pan and vegetables for roasting. You get just enough, not too much, and it stops the vegetables from burning, instead making the edges crisp. I was dubious at first but I find it very useful. I foil my frying pan when I want to sautee quickly. It's great for spraying sandwiches you want either to roast in an air fryer.
I have one for my vegetable oil that I use in my not-cast-iron pan. It cost me $3 Australian from Kmart, and works great.
Of you're refilling it with oil, why would it need cleaning?

Thaw Like A Boss With Thaw Claw: Defrost 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
Meat should always be thawed in the fridge to keep the temperature out of the danger zone!!! Always thaw below 4°C
We just have a bowl that we fill with water and then a jar with water to weigh it down to keep it fully underwater to defrost.
I mean, I put a heavy thing on top too, but sometimes the heavy thing doesn't stay easily, especially if the meat isn't flat. I can see the use in this
Load More Replies...I, like so many others, really dislike single use items. While I guess you COULD find other uses for this or you're constantly defrosting meat, why not just use a plate or casserole dish and save the money and space?
5 pound kettle bell is fantastic for weighing down a bag in a sink of cold water.
Put the meat in a ziploc bag. Close it. Put that in a big bowl of cold water. Just make sure the bag is fully under the water.
That's exactly what this gadget does... keeps "the bag" under water

Utter rubbish. The meat will need to be stirred but there is no space (and you had to make it elsewhere anyway). No idea how you get those eggs out. The waffle just looks like it's cooking under a heating element for the two inadequate "pans" above. This will soon be off to the dump to stored for 110 years in the garage.
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 can't speak to the others who have had negative experiences with these things -- we have one at work for our 'Bagel Mondays' and the thing is amazing. Maybe your bagels need to be more solid, or maybe the brand of bagel slicer makes a huge difference, but if I were the kind of person who regularly at bagels at home, I'd definitely get one, because they are SO much easier (and faster) than cutting with a knife.
Pretty much all bagels you buy come sliced now. And if at a Bagel shop, you can ask for them to slice them.
A couple of my companies had these for employee use and none of them worked very well. Half the time they just crushed the bagel. Just use a serrated knife and yourself the money and the kitchen space.
*Looks around the kitchen and finds knife* Hey, this does the same thing with less money. Maybe the goal isn't to have the bagels guillotined, but to have them sliced. It's not a head, we're not in the medieval period!
Slice And Dice Like A Pro With The Ultimate Vegetable Chopper: Simplify Your Prep Game!

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
10 years ago, I bought a Visalia Chop Wizard, which works the same way. I can chop onions without shedding a tear; tomatoes are a breeze. It comes in handy when you have a lot to chop, you're limited on space, and you have arthritic hands.
I enjoy using a knife to slice and dice onions and mushrooms and cucumbers, etc.
In order to use the veggie chopper you need to grab a knife and cutting board to cut veggies up prior to being able to use this. Then you need a lot of strength to cut up certain veggies as they're too hard to get cut up easily and then you have to clean the tiny squares because stuff gets stuck. #impracticle.
