14 Kitchen Products/Gadgets That ACTUALLY Do What They Claim
5. A stainless steel electric corkscrew that opens a bottle in seconds, seriously reducing the amount of time you have to wait before having a glass of wine.
It comes with a cool charging stand that glows blue, and the opener will open up to 30 bottles on a single charge!
Promising review: “I had one of the earliest electric wine openers, but it finally gave up the ghost. Boy, am I glad now! This new one is fantastic! It’s really easy to use, takes no effort — you don’t have to hang onto the bottle so it doesn’t spin, like my old one — and it looks attractive on the counter.” —Mary

6. An air fryer with seven-built in programs for perfectly-cooked fries, wings, and so much more with little or *no* oil.
Promising review: “I couldn’t believe that is machine would fry without oil and food would come out crispy. Boy, was I wrong. This air fryer is fantastic, and all the foods that I have prepared in this thing have come out very, very delicious. My hamburgers come out nice and juicy, and the fries come out nice and crispy, and not limp. I have made cheese sticks and also shrimp, and they come out crispy and delicious. I don’t have to use any oil when I use this, and that makes me very happy. It was great using this in the summer, because I didn’t have to use my oven. I am a big, big, fan of air fryers. The GoWise is great, and the price is very reasonable. I just love, love this product.” —Mluz
Get it from Amazon for $93.94. Available in three colors.
7. An omelet maker that delivers a delicious and healthy breakfast from the microwave to your plate in just minutes — and tastes like it was made on the stove!
Promising review: “This brings omelets to my weekday breakfast. I’ve been trying to eat a low-carb diet, and the idea of eggs for breakfast appeals to me. But, I am *so* NOT a morning person; and getting up early to stir a low-n-slow scramble just does not work for me. I’ve tried microwaving eggs in custard cups but they always turned out either soupy & underdone or firm but dry & rubbery. But this makes them Just Right, every time, in two minutes flat. That’s less time than it takes me to brew my coffee. Two or three eggs, some herbs, a few chopped veggies, and perhaps a sprinkle of cheese makes for a quick, easy, and tasty breakfast.” —Vanilla Chameleon
Get it from Amazon for $12.86.
8. A double-chambered chopper to blend or dice perfectly-sized veggies TWO at a time with just the pull of a string.
It comes with two whisking blades and two cutting blades for all your culinary needs.
Promising review: “This thing is bad to the bone. So freaking easy. I just love pulling this to chop! Once I’ve chopped, I just put the whole container in the fridge and serve as I need for recipes. Very good buy for the price.” —VictoriaPDX to FLL
Get it from Amazon for $11.99. Also available in single sizes.
9. An Instant Pot with seven functions, including (deep breath) pressure cooking, slow-cooking, making rice, sautéing, making yogurt, steaming food…and keeping your dinner warm.
Promising review: “My wife kept telling me we should get this. For months I resisted. We had a Crock-Pot, so why bother? We finally got this on sale on black Friday, and I LOVE IT. Quicker than a Crock-Pot and better end results. You can season your protein and cook it with veggies (which take on the flavor as well). After using this, anything you cook in a Crock-Pot seems like a warm, swampy product. Anything you cook in this is moist, flavorful, tender excellence in just a fraction of the time. Do not hesitate to buy this product — you will thank yourself for meals to come.” —Jon
Get the six-quart size from Amazon for $99.95. Also available in five-quart and eight-quart sizes.
