This colander can expand from 14.5 to 19.5 inches. It's top-rack dishwasher safe as well!

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has and loves this product, "I have this colander in the pink color and absolutely love it! I don't leave it out on my sink permanently, but I've hung it right next to my sink using small Command hooks so I can quickly grab it and place it on my sink whenever I need to clean produce or drain pasta. I love being able to leave ingredients on it to drain while I work on other steps of a recipe, and it also leaves enough room in the sink for me to place dirty dishes or wash a pan without the dirty water going onto my clean ingredients. Highly recommend, especially for small kitchens!"

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this. I leave it in my sink always. It makes washing fruits or draining pasta so much easier and has such a simple cleanup. It also adds a nice pop of color to my kitchen. I highly recommend it." —Alyssa

It also has a spout so you can control how much liquid you pour out, and its compact design won't take up much storage space!

Promising review: "Typically, I am not a fan of one-trick kitchen utensils. But this thing is a game-changer!! Regular strainers are clunky and take up too much space, plus pouring scalding hot liquid into them with heavy food splashing around is dangerous and messy. This eliminates that. Seriously, how have I lived my life without this? I remember making a very large and heavy batch of soup stock, and it was difficult enough to just lift the pot and pour, let alone safely into a strainer that could easily move or tip over if I poured too quickly…but this baby made the transfer so easy it’s almost laughable that anyone would use a normal strainer these days! It’s sturdy, it stays in place, it's small, lightweight, won’t rust, easy to clean, doesn’t burn your hands after being submersed in liquid fire. What else could you ask for in a strainer? Enough already, just buy it!" —Kellu

Promising reviews: "I love this product! I use it every day to slice or cut vegetables or fruit and then rinse them in the colander. Versatile and fits over my sink perfectly." —Jeff Wedgwood

Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer System in action. 

Each air fryer comes with the "PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface, no problem.

Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. It was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." —Jennifer

Promising review: "We purchased this oven after our 26-inch drop-in oven finally saw its last day. It is a temporary oven till we remodel the kitchen. This oven does it all. I have cooked amazing dinners, cakes, cookies, and pies. the dual-zone sync option is awesome. Very happy customer here!!!" —Steve

Psst, as you can see above, this set also comes with a crumb catcher where your stovetop meets your countertop!

Promising review: "I've been using the foil ones and while they do the job, they're not so nice to look at. I like that this is black so it matches the original color of the appliances, but more importantly I like that this has a larger surface area to catch the drips that the foil ones never could before. They're also trim to fit, so they get right up into each burner without leaving gaps where drips can burn where it's hardest to clean. Overall recommended." —Michael

Promising review: "Thick good quality material, has weight to it so it won’t slide around, I love that it has a slant to it so the water slides off AND it slips over the edge of the sink so the water doesn’t collect underneath." —shaw

Ivy Cottage Art Gifts is a small business that sells stunning handpainted kitchen items.

Promising review: "These salt and pepper shakers are a great size for someone who’s always in the kitchen! The paint job is as described and even more beautiful in person." —Kashlamb12

Get them from Ivy Cottage Art Gifts on Etsy for $39.99.

Promising review: "Excellent quality and fits a block of butter quite well. I particularly like that it has a lip the top fits over that keeps the butter inside so it isn't all over the edges of the cover. It washes up beautifully in the dishwasher or by hand. I liked it so much I sent one as a gift. Would definitely buy again." —Sunday Reader

Promising review: "These scissors do it all! From cutting poultry to removing gristle from the bottom of a tri-tip roast, and any number of other kitchen items. I'm left-handed, and the grip is comfortable. They're very easy to clean, and the plastic sheath that comes with them is a plus, preventing me from gouging myself when looking for other items in the 'sharp object' drawer. I'm thinking about getting a second pair. I highly recommend these kitchen shears!" —Suzy-Q666

Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use.

Promising review: "This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." —Dawn R. 

I use this stuff constantly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes cleaning burnt bits and pieces much easier. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! I recently swapped from the "fresh" scent to the "apple" one, and wow, it smells delicious. It also works great for removing stains on clothes (I've seen it remove coffee from a white tee with my very own eyes).

Promising review: "This makes it so easy to keep my sink clear of dishes. I use it constantly throughout the day. Every time I use a dish, I give it a quick spray, wash it, rinse it, and put it in a dish drainer. It is wonderful. I wish it was a little cheaper as I’m constantly using it; other than that, I love it." —Linda W.

Smilyeez is a small business! Fill the brush handle with your favorite dish soap, attach it to your Scrub Daddy, then use the little lever to dispense the perfect amount of soap into the sponge! Many reviewers also note they like to use it to clean their bathroom.

Promising review: "This is a game changer for me. I hate dishes. Like seriously hate dishes. I hate touching wet food. When I wash dishes, I believe the water needs to be lava hot, and sometimes, it’s too hot for my hands when I use a rag or sponge. This tool helps me so much because it makes scrubbing easier without all the things I hate. I highly recommend." —Hope

Promising review: "I love these! I don’t have a dishwasher so my roommates and I were using them daily, and they lasted about a month and a half each before we deemed them too gross to use anymore (although I’m sure you could use them for longer). They were very cute and did their job for a lot less money than the dog-shaped Scrub Daddies would. Would buy again!" —Ashlynn

You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. 

Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." —Alex Bonick

Promising reviews: "I honestly use this every single day, it makes the most incredible and consistent froth. I have dropped it more times than I can count, and it keeps going." —Amanda*C

Promising reviews: "Aside from a Victorinox paring knife and a filet knife, this is the ONLY knife I own. I've used it just about every day for the last two months, and only now does it seem to be losing its edge. Since I primarily cook from scratch, I've put it through quite a bit! It's survived pounds upon pounds of potatoes, onions, garlic, a few acorn squash, and carving a whole chicken. I'd say it's a sound investment for the price." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.05+ (available in several sizes/types).

The 12-piece set comes with a chef knife, a bread knife, a utility knife, a santoku knife, a slicing knife, a paring knife, and covers for each blade.

Promising review: "I have several knives of good quality, really didn’t need these, to be honest, I bought them because they were so pretty.  😍 To my surprise, they have turned out to be a great purchase. Not only are they pretty to look at, but they are also really sharp! Be super careful when using these little pretties; they’ll easily take a finger off, 😉 if you aren’t paying attention, but if you are using them properly, or like me, an experienced cook in the kitchen, you’re gonna love how easy they make, chopping, slicing, and you might find yourself wanting to cook more often, just to be able to use them. Make the purchase, and enjoy!" —Serena L.

Get them from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in a 10-piece set).

You can even pop these in the washing machine for a thorough cleaning.

Promising reviews: "I got really tired of coming away with sliced fingers after manually grating cheese or potatoes. Measuring the glove size as instructed was easy, and the fit was perfect (small). I have used these gloves every day since I received them. I was going to try a mandolin, but that was more troublesome than it was worth. Just slip on the glove, and you are safe!" —S Martin

Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in sizes S—XL and in three colors).

The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can easily rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding.

Promising review: "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." —Nana M.

Promising review: "When it comes to cookware, I truly believe you can’t do better than this brand, the material used, the rich, beautiful color, the ease of use, and the nonstick properties are absolutely amazing. I will make sure that I buy every last pot from this line." —Lori Bush

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love these oven mitts! It's one of those kitchen items that are a MUST, but always put off purchasing. I had criteria for what I wanted in mitts and found them. The mitts do everything they say they do and that's keeping my hands and arms safe. I highly recommend them." —Amazon Customer

"Great purchase. I use these every day. Had them for a while now and they hold up beautifully." —Badgerman

This helpful gadget will add leverage so you can keep your wrist in a neutral position. It's great for anyone with arthritis or overall hand/wrist pain. You *also* won't need to use an oven mitt since the handle will protect you from heat! It's safe for up to 350 degrees — so please don't use this inside your oven.

I've introduced everyone in my life to this delectable condiment. Mike's Hot Honey is sweet with a kick of heat — you'll want to pour it over everything you eat. I personally love it on chicken cutlets and pepperoni pizza, but do with it what you will!

Promising review: "I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes with. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat. So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana/strawberry/blueberry) with cottage cheese and drizzled on the original Chick-fil-A sandwich....so delicious!" —Sleeps in Rain
