14 Kitchen Products/Gadgets That ACTUALLY Do What They Claim
10. A two-level steamer that cooks fish, meat, and veggies healthily and deliciously — and is perfect for even people who cannot cook AT ALL.
Promising review: “Awesome product. Bought for my sister who cannot cook to save her life. It’s easy to use and foolproof, so even my sister can make a healthy meal without messing it up. She says salmon, chicken, and vegetables taste great with this thing.” —Asianthunder
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
11. A chopping bowl guaranteed to change your salad game as you know it; just toss in your greens and veggies, run your knife through the slots, rinse, and you’re good to go.
Promising review: “It is such a time saver; just stick your ingredients in and start slicing. I really don’t have time to individually slice things, due to having three little kids running around. So this is perfect for my needs. I put lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes in the cutter bowl, and my salad came out perfect in half the time! It is made out of HDPE+PP Food Grade Material so that always is a plus! It is also dishwasher safe! The plastic isn’t flimsy at all and it seems to be sturdy. I would recommend this product to anyone.” —Dan Cakir
Get it from Amazon for $13.98.
12. A Silpat silicone baking mat to make stuck-on food a thing of the past.
Promising review: “This is the first one of these I have ever purchased and, believe me, I was real skeptical of them. However, I do A LOT of holiday baking and I was so tired of having to buy rolls of parchment paper for my baked goods. Someone told me about these and I just couldn’t figure out how something that feels like rubber makes a non-stick surface! Well, about 100 dozen cookies later, I still can’t figure out how it works, but it does! So far, it has already paid for itself twice over because of the parchment paper I didn’t have to buy! If I hadn’t seen it for myself, I would still be skeptical! Save yourself the money 
and time…get one of these, you won’t be sorry.” —Cyndi M.

13. A Ninja blender that totally ~crushes it~ in literal seconds. Plus, it comes with two on-the-go cups you can blend right into!
Promising review: “We replaced an expensive blender ($400) that died after five or six years with this blender. We researched many more expensive ones and then decided to try this one. It is very powerful and straightforward to use. It is powerful and easy to clean too. We really like the cups that come with it for a quick personal smoothie! The design for pouring is very nice also! We have had no issues chopping up ice, ice cream, sherbet, yogurt and fruit (sliced apples, bananas, avocados, pears, strawberries, raspberries, blue berries), celery, peanut butter, peanuts and a lot more. It has been two months using it and we really are glad we purchased this blender as it does everything we need — smoothies, shakes, deserts, puddings and energy drinks!” —Ronald J. Weagley
Get it from Amazon for $99.89.
14. And (of course) an avocado tool to add some of that green goodness to every meal and help you eat guacamole guaca-more.
Promising review: “Avocado? Yes, Please! This tool is awesome. Easy to cut open the fruit. Pit remover works well, just push onto the pit and give it a twist, and the pit pops right out. The best part is the slicer. Makes beautiful slices for a great presentation. The tool can then be used to scrape any remaining fruit out of the skin. Really happy I bought this!” —NPR Man
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
