This All-in-One Kitchen Appliance Can Do Just About Everything. And It's 17% Off Right Now
When I first tried out the Chefman Everything Maker, I was predicting it to be a bit of a novelty. What I got was a genuinely useful, space-saving kitchen sidekick that's now part of my daily cooking routine. It's compact, clever and capable of making just about everything from waffles and paninis to pizza and eggs, all without taking up half the counter.
The $59.99 price tag on the Chefman website already feels like a steal for what it does. Which is, well, everything. But right now, you can get the Everything Maker in colors midnight or concrete for 17% off on Amazon, bringing the price down to just $50.
Too often, all-in-one kitchen appliances end up doing a lot of things poorly instead of doing one thing well. And, because some models have a lot of components, they can be a nightmare to clean. But the Everything Maker quickly won me over. The nonstick cooking surfaces heat up quickly and clean off with minimal effort (a serious win in my book). I've made crispy hash browns, gooey grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches and perfectly golden pancakes -- all in one compact machine.
And it's not just a breakfast tool. I've used it for late-night quesadillas and quick lunches more times than I can count in the past few weeks.
The design is intuitive, easy to store upright (although I rarely put it away) and surprisingly durable. No extra bells and whistles here. It's just a well-made, easy-to-use appliance that works every time.

How I use my Everything Maker
Macy Meyer/CNET
The Chefman Everything Maker lives up to its name by offering a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution that fits easily on a countertop. With a 12-inch nonstick cooking surface and a slim, compact design, it's well-suited for small kitchens or anyone looking to simplify meal prep. I've found it particularly convenient for cooking breakfast foods like eggs and pancakes with the lid open, then switching to grilled sandwiches or quesadillas with the lid closed.
It also heats quickly and evenly, reaching up to 428°F (220°C), which is enough for searing, sautéing or even light grilling. I made a summer flatbread (with burrata, pesto and prosciutto) over the weekend and used the Everything Maker to lightly sear some peaches to add as a topping. They came out perfectly.
Cleanup is another strong point. The nonstick surface wipes down easily after use -- no scrubbing or soaking required -- which has made it a reliable go-to for quick weekday meals.
The Everything Maker also comes with a digital cookbook featuring 16 chef-crafted recipes, which I've used as inspiration for trying new dishes beyond my usual routine. While it doesn't replace every kitchen tool, the Everything Maker handles a surprising variety of tasks in a compact footprint.
A thoughtful and affordable gift for Father's Day (and beyond)
If you're looking for a gift for the dad who loves breakfast (or just appreciates a good gadget), the Chefman Everything Maker hits that sweet spot of fun and functional. At $60, it's already reasonably priced even without the discount. But the $50 deal on Amazon is quite the steal, considering it's the kind of gift that actually gets used and will keep getting used.
While the Everything Maker isn't on sale on the Chefman website currently, it's still worth checking Chefman's website from time to time. They run promotions regularly (in fact, my favorite Obliterator Blender is 20% off right now).
My buying advice
Whether you're shopping for a Father's Day gift or just want to level up your own cuisine game, the Chefman Everything Maker is a surprisingly versatile little appliance. Even at full price, it offers solid value and delivers big on convenience, but for just $50, you really can't beat the value.
If you're looking for other useful, fun gifts for your favorite hostess or the chef in your life, here are our favorite kitchen gifts under $50.

Broadcom's 340% Rally Has Wall Street Debating If It's Magnificent Seven Material
For more than two years, conversations about the biggest, most important technology companies have revolved around the same seven stocks. Now, some on Wall Street are making the case that Broadcom Inc. should be part of that discussion. Relentless spending on artificial intelligence computing gear has juiced the chipmaker's revenue and profits, driving a more than 340% rally since the start of 2023 and vaulting it into an elite cohort of stocks with a market value of at least $1 trillion. Meanwhile, Tesla Inc. — one of the original so-called Magnificent Seven stocks — has tumbled 22% this year as Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's foray into US politics sparked a backlash against the electric vehicle maker.

Why DuoLingo's CEO Reversed His AI Stance And What It Signals For Work
Three boys from the vintage future reading each other's minds The start of 2025 was fraught with headlines about layoffs and changing hiring plans as companies adopt AI into their workflows and daily operations. This is already proving to be an overestimation of the capabilities of AI and its likelihood to replace humans across every job category. Recently the CEO of DuoLingo walked back his statements about becoming an AI first (vs. human managed) company saying that instead he sees AI as a 'tool to accelerate what we do, at the same or better level of quality.' Similarly in a direct challenge to statements made by the CEO of Anthropic, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has gone on record saying that 'AI is a tool to enhance human decision making, not a replacement for it', adding that future career success depends on our ability to learn how to use these tools, not ignore or fear them. While most professionals have already started using AI in their daily work, many are struggling to understand how to prioritize their exploration and understanding of these technologies, and most importantly, how to position this new knowledge to employers and leaders for career advancement opportunities. This begs the most obvious question - 'how do I talk about my usage of AI without making it seem like it's doing my job for me'? The answer to this question is actually quite simple, though it does require a bit of thought about how you reprioritize your daily activities. For many of us AI has become a tool that dramatically cuts the amount of time we spend on repetitive or administrative tasks, including repetitive written communication. AI has also opened up our creative capabilities allowing us to rapidly conduct unstructured research across various topics, and even brainstorm strategic plans without the need for hours of brainstorming and data gathering and synthesis. The best way to communicate efficiencies driven by AI is not only to quantify the time that you're able to win back by leveraging this technology, but by clearly outlining the higher value work that you're now able to do with the extra time that you have – higher level work that simply can't be done by a machine. How you think about positioning this for future career opportunities will depend on your level of seniority and domain of expertise. More senior talent (i.e: managers and leaders) should be referencing how these tools have helped you drive increased operational excellence within your team, with a focus on tangible metrics that another employer may want to see in their own company. Individual contributors can highlight specific tools that have helped them double or triple their output, creating demand for this knowledge at other firms that may have been slow to adopt these technologies across similar departments. In a changing technological landscape it's more important than ever to be able to explain how your forward thinking adoption of technology can make you an invaluable asset to a team. This is both due to the fact that there's varying degrees of understanding of new technologies, and different levels of success actually implementing it within particular organizations or departments. Most importantly, this creates an opportunity for people that have actually learned to use these tools effectively to become trusted thought leaders in their respective fields. No degree or certification can replace the credibility that comes with being able to show tangible results from the time invested in learning how to effectively use a new technology. Better to spend your effort actively learning how to solve problems specific to your field or role vs. worrying about some distant future where technology might replace particular functions that humans shouldn't be spending their valuable time on anyways.
