According to reviews, ratings, and suggestions from Parenthood’s editors, these are the best kitchen gadgets on the market. Products that are easy to use and safe for you and your family have always been our priority.

Easy Clean Garlic Press

Because if you’re still peeling and chopping garlic, why? As soon as you put a clove of garlic in the press and squeeze, you’ll get peeled and chopped garlic into your dish. It’s that easy to clean and maintain, thanks to the removable sieve.
Over the past ten years, I’ve never regretted my purchase of a Kuhn Rikon stainless steel press.” It’s a great tool: “You can put more than one (unpeeled) clove at a time, and the handles are pleasant and take less exertion than any other I’ve used.”

Citrus Zester Microplane

A carrot peeler should not be at the top of your list of kitchen equipment, but if you’ve been using meal subscription kits, which usually call for lemon zest, you’ll be astonished at how much use this little instrument gets.This Microplane zester is a must-have kitchen tool. As the name suggests, you can use it to zest citrus, grate fresh ginger, or delicately dust Parmesan on spaghetti.

After watching several YouTube cooking tutorials, I finally succumbed and purchased one.” It’s incredible! With a lime or lemon, you can obtain two times the zest than before, and it even grates cheese in the fine shavings you’d find in restaurants!

Children’s Zulay Knife Set

It’s fun to cook and eat together as a family, but there are only so many kid-friendly kitchen activities. When Parenthood editor Saralyn Ward’s kids want to help her cook, she uses these Zulay starter knives to allow them to get their hands dirty. These kid-safe knives have a sharp point and are only strong enough to cut through soft fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, cheese, or bread. They are made of nylon with a non-slip rubber grip.

Baked vegetables, cookies, and meat can all survive temperatures of up to 480°F (249°C) in the oven once they’ve been placed on a baking pan.These come in a batch of three and contain ruler borders and a circular arrangement (which seems to be meant for macarons) so that the youngsters can quickly drop a dollop of cookie dough.

  • mats are excellent for sticky food,

  • easy to use for kitchen

  • reuseable

Oven mitts based on R2-D2

These wacky oven mitts are enough to make you smile. Until the time comes to remove the casserole from the oven, your child can “beep boop” in imitation of R2 around the kitchen if they’re a Star Wars fan. In addition, they are also available in the BB8 design, which means that numerous children (or even adults) can join in.

The Ninja Foodi 9-in-1

When it comes to kitchen appliances, this could be the last one you’ll ever purchase. An air fryer like this one from Ninja makes it possible to cook and crisp your food, resulting in “fried” items with far lower amounts of fat.
And it’s not simply a fry-making machine, either. The dehydrator can shrivel strawberries for a fun afternoon activity with the kids, and the pressure-cooking mode can evenly cook frozen meals. In addition to baking casseroles and cookies, searing/sautéing, slow-cooking, and even making yogurt.

Another perk: Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a breeze. Pros include a high price tag and a significant amount of counter space in the kitchen. “However, one reviewer asserts, ‘This does everything.'” It’s worth the counter space.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with air frying

  • comes with nesting broil rack to steam

  • you can cook up to 2 lbs of French fries

  • Plate are nonstick and dishwasher safe.

  • need little time to learn this machine

A3500 Blender from the Vitamix

Even though Vitamix blenders are costly (and they are), those who own one swear by it. In addition to being a blender, the Vitamix chops, grinds ice, emulsifies, whips, and purees food. There are various ways to use a dishwasher to clean up after making fresh fruit juices, soups, spreads, and dips, or frozen desserts.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with adjustable speed to achieve a variety of textures.

  • comes with a Radial cooling fan and thermal protection system

  • built-in stainless steel blades are design

  • clean itself in 30 to 60 seconds 

  • be little carefull while cleaning

Reusable silicone bags by Stasher

Check out Stasher’s bags while we’re talking about getting rid of single-use plastic in the pantry. As long as you don’t put them in boiling water or the dishwasher, you’re good to go. Up to 400°F, you can bake one, but we’re not sure why you’d do it.

Jamey, the market editor for Parenthood, argues that Stasher bags are worth the money despite their high price. Thanks to their lovely colors and the magically effective zip-style seal, these baggies will make storing leftovers a pleasure.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with self-sealing, reusable

  • comes with no BPA, no PVC, and no latex

  • built-in air-tight Pinch-Loc

  • safe for use in the freezer

  • keep it on safe place after using

OXO Dusting Brush

Using this baker’s wand, you can’t help but feel like a fairy princess or a magnificent wizard. The sphere-shaped dispenser can be used to sprinkle powdered sugar or cinnamon on brownies, snickerdoodles, or any other recipe you’ve made together with your child.

Reviewers have nothing but praise for this gadget and say that it is simple to use and distributes flour, powdered sugar, etc., uniformly onto surfaces and baked goods.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with turning and lifting vegetables

  • tossing and transferring food

  • built-in Soft, comfortable, non-slip grips and thumb rests

  • edges securely hold food

  • there is no way to seal off extra sugar inside

Softshell Ice Cream Balls from Yaylabs

With summer just around the bend, we’d like to give this product our full endorsement. Isn’t it great that you can make dessert by shaking, rolling, and kicking around a ball of ice and rock salt with a mixture of cream, sugar, and vanilla?
Ice cream can be prepared in about 30 minutes in the backyard with this robust, food-safe, BPA-free, dishwasher-safe plastic. It’s getting mixed reviews, with some people saying it lived up to expectations and was delightful, while others are upset that the cream and sugar mixture leaked out when they kicked it or that the ice cream was difficult to scoop out of the molds.

The experiment could be interesting if you’re up for a $35 investment, in our opinion. Take your time and read some more reviews to make an informed conclusion.

PROS

CONS

  • makes approximately one quart of home-made ice cream

  • Simply add cream, sugar and flavorings in one end

  • easy to clean 

  • include a Recipe book

  • balls can get noisy rolling back and forth on the floor

Popsicle Mold by Zoku

Even though they’re more reliable than ice cream balls, these Zoku ice pop molds are still a lot of fun. You and your family may create a variety of popsicles with six easy-to-use silicone chambers. The plastic handles contain a drip guard to prevent juices from running down your child’s arm.

People say these are easy to clean and use, but they advise that they be cleaned by hot water. They also take up a lot of freezer space, according to some.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with 6 molds with individual lids fit

  • free from preservatives

  • Simply squeeze to enjoy, no need to run under warm water

  • easy to clean

  • be little carefull while cleaning

Dorai Dish Pad

One of those things you don’t know you’ve been missing out on is the Dorai Dish Pad. You can use it to dry your dishes without fear of bacteria and mold growing because it’s composed of silicone and diatomaceous earth (we had to look it up, too).

That being said, if you’re grossed out by the thought of how many times you’ve placed your spotless dishes on a soggy, slightly discolored dish towel, this product might be the answer. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean it, according to the manufacturer.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with Sized to fit large items

  • comes with Soft, non-slip surface protects delicate items

  • built-in Flexible silicone Mat can be rolled up

  • food-safe silicone

  • not so floppity doppity 

Electric rice cookers

Electric rice cookers are another of my must-have kitchen tools and the one I get the most resistance from fellow cooks about because they seem odd and unnecessary.

Rice is a staple in the pantry of any frugal cook, and it’s likely to be used quite frequently. Whether you like white or brown rice, this gadget is the best and most energy-efficient way to cook it to perfection every time.

How many times you’ve had to wait for your rice to finish cooking before you could start on the rest of your meal because it was taking up too much space on the burner. Using a rice cooker eliminates all of these issues.

You put in scoops of rice, fill the container up to the X level (most have an outer and removable inner chamber for ease of use and cleaning), cover, press the “cook” button, and that’s it!

Using your rice cooker, you can also make oatmeal for breakfast (or dinner, if you’re like me)! Find a recipe that works best for you by browsing through the various options available online (some like it soupy, some firm and chewy, some in between the two).

Take a quick shower and put on your work clothes before throwing your ingredients into the microwave for an easy breakfast that will be ready in less than 20 minutes.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with 6-step cooking process

  • comes with cool touch handles ensures your safety

  • The non-stick coating, the cleaning of the inner pot is like a breeze. 

  • user friendly with digital LED display

  • not so floppity doppity 

Food Processor

Simply having this tool on hand could be considered a blessing in the kitchen. Shred block cheese or slice stick pepperoni with this device (both of which are much cheaper than buying pre-shredded cheese or pre-sliced pepperoni).
For example, you can whip up a batch of mayonnaise using it or whip up a bunch of whipped cream with it.

Food processors are must-have kitchen devices for preparing pates, dips, and creamy deli-style tuna fish. Make delicious hummus or guacamole in only a few minutes, which is ideal for preparing our guacamole-deviled egg appetizers! They are simple to clean and produce better outcomes than full deli and supermarket goods.

Food processors are a must-have kitchen appliance that can save you a ton of time. Once you start using one, you’ll see all of the other ways you can put it to use.

PROS

CONS

  • Comes with powerful 450 watt motor

  • Simple to assemble and use

  • Stainless steel blades

  • esy to clean

  • little NOISY!
