Useful Kitchen Gadgets on Amazon That Are Worth the Hype

I have a larger waffle maker that rarely gets used because the cleanup is a beast and it’s large enough that I have to store it out of the way. The Dash Mini Waffle Maker is perfect for quick individual waffles, keto chaffles or even making hashbrown waffles or cooking eggs, which has become popular.

This waffle maker takes up very little storage space and clean-up is fairly easy. It’s easy enough to pull out and use that even my kids love using it.

If there’s one small appliance in my kitchen that we couldn’t give up it is this Ninja Foodi DualZone 2-Basket Air Fryer. This is used daily at my house and makes quick meals so much easier.

We bought this when our old air fryer died and I’m so glad we made the switch to a dual-basket option. With 6 kids, we can always use the extra cooking space but it’s also helpful when two kids want to cook different food.

It’s been years since I’ve bought commercial cooking spray thanks to this olive oil sprayer. You can use any of your favorite cooking oils in this and it sprays just like your favorite canned cooking spray without any additional additives.

This is a staple in my kitchen and is so much nicer to look at than a branded can.

There are a few things that are just a staple in any kitchen and this Amazon Basics Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven is definitely one of them. Cast iron is always a fantastic choice but enameled cast iron is so much easier to clean.

It seems like there’s never enough drawer space in any kitchen. The Joseph Joseph Compact Cutlery Drawer Organizer solves that problem with its unique design to store more cutlery in a smaller space.

This Daisy Egg Separator may not be essential but it sure is an easier way to separate eggs. It’s also adorable.

This is a fun little addition to your kitchen if you are a frequent baker and it doesn’t take up much space to store.

Admittedly a bit of a splurge, this GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker is well worth the price if you are as big of a fan of nugget ice as I am.

This was a birthday gift for me a few years ago but its one my whole family loves. We’ve definitely been better about drinking more water now that we can fill our cups up with nugget ice.

Don’t underestimate how amazing it is to have spreadable butter available at any time. This Bell Butter Bell is HUGELY popular because it keeps butter out at room temperature while keeping it fresh.

This is a MUST-HAVE kitchen accessory that is definitely a household name.

I’ve never felt like using up storage or counter space on a dish drying rack but there are definitely times when I wish I had one. This roll up over the sink dish drying rack takes up almost no storage space but gives you space to dry extra dishes when you need them. This is super affordable too so its well worth having on hand.

Olive oil and vinegar are a staple in most kitchens and this unique Olive Oil and Vinegar Dispenser is a great way to keep them accessible. I love the look of this and definitely don’t mind leaving it out on the counter as part of the decor.

Dishes are a never-ending reality in life but that doesn’t mean we need to clutter up our countertops with ugly dish brushes. The Boon Terracotta Cacti Bottle Cleaning Brush set is perfect if you have young kids (or even if you just want a more attractive way to hide your dish brushes).

They sell replacement brushes so you can swap these out when they get too worn out.

This silicone utensil rest is such an easy way to keep your counters clean. I love that these don’t just set the utensils down on a holder. It actually holds them up to keep them sanitary, while still keeping drips contained to an easily cleaned surface.

This is such an affordable kitchen gadget but it makes a huge difference while you are cooking.

It doesn’t get any cuter than this baby Yoda ramen bowl, but this bowl isn’t just cute, it’s super functional. The unique bowl design offers a convenient place to hold your chopsticks in between bites.

This ramen bowl makes a great gift idea too.

This meat masher simplifies cooking ground meat or mashing any other softer foods. It does a much better job of breaking up ground meat than a wooden spoon or a spatula does.

When I first got this I didn’t think it would get much use but it really does speed up the job and it’s the first thing everyone in my family reaches for when we’re cooking anything that needs to be mashed up. The best part is, it’s easy to clean in the dishwasher.

Do you love soft, spreadable butter but hate leaving it out on the countertop? This stainless steel butter spreader is a 3-in-1 kitchen tool that easily spreads cold butter plus spreads and slices butter as well.

This is a must-have if you want beautifully buttered toast without waiting for the butter to come to room temperature.

Chopping veggies can be a tedious chore, especially if you do a lot of scratch cooking. I deal with some chronic pain issues so this is usually the first chore I delegate, but when I bought the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper that changed. Chopping veggies is so easy and FAST with this kitchen gadget and I love that it creates uniform cuts.

I thought for sure when I bought this that it was going to end up collecting dust but this is definitely one of my must-haves in the kitchen now.

I’ve tried a lot of different can openers, from manual ones to electric ones, and this Zyliss Lock N’ Lift Can Opener is always the one I go back to. This is so easy to use and takes up way less storage space than an electric can opener does.

The locking mechanism on this makes it easy to keep this can opener in place and it takes almost no effort to open cans.

When it comes to milk frothers, the Zulay milk frother is the clear winner. I use this for everything from mixing powdered greens to frothing up drinks and it works fabulously.

If you want a really easy solution for frothing all kinds of drinks, this is a great kitchen gadget to have on hand and it makes a fantastic gift idea.

Forget those old-school cherry-pitting tools. The Cherry Chomper cherry pitter is not only adorable but it is 100% mess-free and pits cherries with surprising accuracy.

As a bonus, this Amazon kitchen gadget is entirely kid-friendly so you can put the kids to work helping out with the holiday baking.

This marble salt cellar is as pretty as it is functional. Fill this with salt (or pepper, sugar, or any other spice you use on a regular basis) and have it readily available on your counter.

Salt cellars are hugely popular with cooking enthusiasts because they give you full control over how much spice (or other seasoning) you use.

I’m not usually a fan of single-task kitchen gadgets but this 3-in-1 Avocado slicer is worth it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cut myself while cutting up an avocado and now that my kids are more involved in the kitchen I needed a safer solution.

This avocado slicer, cuts, pits, and slices avocados safely and it takes up very little storage space in your kitchen.

Kitchen utensils are the foundation of your kitchen and this silicone kitchen utensil set has it all! Keep everything together in one place. This set is attractive enough that you won’t even mind giving it prime real estate on your kitchen counter.

Cleaning the microwave is no one’s favorite kitchen chore but this Angry Mom Microwave Cleaner makes the process so easy! This may be a funny-looking kitchen gadget but it lets you get a deep clean on your microwave with only vinegar and water.

Sick of water being left on the counters around your sink? This silicone Kitchen Sink Splash Guard not only drains the water back into your sink but gives you a tidy place to keep your cleaning supplies.
