Promising review: 'I was looking for new knives and didn't want as huge of a knife block as I had. I literally never needed to use six steak knives at one time. This small set is working fine for my family of four. The scissors are low quality, and the knives aren't amazing, but they're much better than my old ones. And these are easy on the budget. Overall, it met my needs, and I have to give him five stars for price and value. Would I buy them again? Yep.' — Bethany

Walmart
Promising review: ' I love how much space this saves me in my small pantry area. I'm able to efficiently store my cans in a small space. It seems to be well-made and sturdy. Put it on a sturdy shelf because it weighs quite a bit once it is loaded! I had no trouble putting it together — simple assembly.' — Deb
12. A Ninja food chopper you can use to chop, mince, and purée a variety of ingredients. This small appliance does the job of many different kitchen tools, and significantly ~cuts~ down on meal prep time. It's also very easy to clean.
Walmart
Promising review: 'This is the best food chopper I have used, and I have owned quite a few. It is sturdy, strong, and beautifully made. Chops evenly and easily. Control over the chop is great. A little awkward being a bit top-heavy with the powerful motor in the top unit. However, the receptacle is also well-made and has a nice gripping bottom stabilizing the unit. This is a small caveat considering the great design and performance of the chopper.' — Walmart Customer

Promising review: 'The wood construction and fasteners were excellent. Assembly was time-consuming, as there were a lot of parts, but everything went together very well. The cart saved the day for cooking, as a lot of utensils were transferred from the cupboard to the cart and cut down retrieval time. A new microwave fit perfectly on top. The color of the wood matched the existing decor. Perfect purchase.' — Bardbro

Promising review: 'Love, love, love the look of this! The purple color is also so pretty! Gone are the days of our eyesore old toaster! My fiancée lets me keep it out 'on display' because it's so cute!! Besides the looks, though, it also functions fabulously so far! I love the touch screen and options for toasting, AND it toasts so beautifully!!' — Lauren
15. A dish-drying rack that'll fit right over your sink as your dishes dry. This rack has slits that allow water to drip down and features silicone ends to protect your sink and counter and keep it from slipping. When it's not in use, you can just roll it up.
Walmart
Promising review: 'I keep it in place and literally just roll it up if I need the sink. It's sturdy, easy to clean, and easy on the eyes. It has a nonslip surface and I've laid some pretty sharp knives across it to dry! Nice to have it if there's no room for a dish drainer.' — momsavvy
16. A four-piece set of narrow glass storage jars with bamboo lids that'll group and display your dry goods in a stylish way while also keeping everything super fresh and clean. Three cheers for no crumbs!

Walmart
Each set includes four 14.10 x 5.40 x 12.10-inch bins.
Promising review: 'These are very handy for larger shelving that needs compartments or higher hard-to-reach back-of-shelf usage. These bins help make items more accessible overall and still visible because they are clear. They make kitchen pantry and cabinet shelves more functional and easier to access. And if something spills or leaks, it is contained! The bins are so easy to clean quickly.' — JBee

Semifreddo: A Chef's Foolproof Hack No-Churn Ice Cream
When I was in culinary school, we learned all kinds of high-brow techniques — quenelles, mille feulle, pate briseé up the wazoo — not all of them practical for everyday cooking. But there's one dessert I actually make over and over again at home, and that's semifreddo. ^ Me, whipping something up at culinary school. The classic Italian dessert has become my secret to making ice cream at home without an ice cream machine. Semifreddo literally translates to "half cold" or 'half frozen' and lands somewhere between a mousse and frozen custard, and totally satisfies any and all ice cream cravings. I've never understood why semifreddo hasn't gotten the attention in American kitchens that I feel it deserves. It's easy to make ahead and a total crowd pleaser at the end of a meal. I'm praying that its days of hiding in the shadows of gelato are OVER. The version I learned included whipping egg yolks and granulated sugar over a double boiler until it got thick and fluffy, then folding in whipped cream and freezing. But there's an even simpler way to make the custardy base for this dessert, with a few key substitutions. In Tasty's orange semifreddo, you start by whisking together egg yolks, powdered sugar, mascarpone, cream, sugar, orange liqueur, and vanilla until smooth. By replacing granulated sugar with powdered sugar and subbing some of the whipping cream for mascarpone, we have a no-cook custard base that's ready to go in the freezer. Both substitutions improve the stability and texture of the custard in a similar way to cooking the yolks, but with a lot less effort and precision. PLUS, you eliminate the possibility of curdled yolks. And I'm all about eliminating the possibility of scrambled eggs in my desserts. My culinary spidey senses are saying to whip the egg yolks and confectioners until they've reached the ribbon stage* before adding the rest of the ingredients. Our recipe skips that step and has a 97% approval rating, so... spidey senses aren't always right, I guess. *Ribbon stage — a term for the consistency that mixtures (usually egg yolks and sugar) get when beaten properly. It's called the ribbon stage because the batter should stream off the spatula in a smooth, ribbon-like line once whipped. You can also whip the cream and mascarpone to soft peaks before folding them into the egg yolk base for an extra light semifreddo. Just be mindful of overwhipping! Then, pour the custard into your desired mold (in our case, hollowed orange halves) and set it in the freezer for at least an hour. The time it takes to freeze will depend on the size of your semifreddo mold. You can use any mold really (a cake tin, bowl, teacup, be creative!). Just make sure you line it with plastic wrap before adding the custard if you want to pop it out after freezing. You can serve them as individual little desserts, or as a sharable (and cutable!) "cake." We went FULL citrus with these little orange semifreddos, even serving them in an orange peel, but you can substitute the orange zest and liqueur for your favorite extracts, liqueurs, jams, candies, nuts, and fruits. This dessert is a classic example of how a few pastry skills, some eggs, and a few other things give you A TON of creative freedom. And I'm sure you're wondering: How does semifreddo stay mousse-like in the freezer, instead of becoming frozen solid? Sugar! It's not just for taste; sugar actually lowers the custard's freezing temperature and interferes with ice crystallization, which makes for a softer frozen dessert. One other ingredient in our version helps prevent an icy semifreddo: booze! Not all semifreddo recipes include it, but our semifreddo recipe includes liqueur, and its alcohol content lowers the freezing temperature of the dessert, making it softer when frozen. In addition to these anti-freeze ingredients, it's a good idea to give your semifreddo some time out of the freezer before serving — I like to move mine to the fridge once dinner is over. Once the dinner plates are cleared and soaking in the sink, your semifreddo will be chilled, but soft and ready to serve. And just like that, buon appetito! For a step-by-step recipe for a perfectly seared steak and a video tutorial to get you through the tricky parts, download the free Tasty app, search "semifreddo," and click on the top recipe. You'll quickly become the Giada of the friend group. Want more semifreddo recipes or tips from my culinary school days? Let us know in the comments!

Florence finally to be rid of notorious 60-metre crane after two decades
A giant crane that has blighted the skyline of Florence for almost 20 years is to finally be removed. The controversial structure, described as 'a metal monster', has stood in the centre of the Tuscan capital since 2006, when it was installed in a square opposite the Uffizi Galleries – famous for sublime artworks of the Italian renaissance – and tasked with doing the heavy lifting of materials during the initial phase of the museum's ongoing expansion. At more than 60 metres tall and visible from miles away, the crane was used less and less as the construction works dragged on, but there it remained despite numerous attempts to have it removed over its incongruity with the Florence landscape. Over time, the crane not only became a target of mockery, with an Instagram account set up for the purpose, but also the ultimate symbol of Italy's notoriously sluggish bureaucracy. The main things holding back the crane's removal have been the huge cost and the permissions required from the various levels of authority. But after some of the city's entrepreneurs responded to an appeal by the Uffizi's exasperated director, Simone Verde, and clubbed together to cover the bill, the dismantling of the crane will finally begin on 16 June, culminating in a celebration on the terrace of the galleries' Loggia dei Lanzi on 21 June. Such is the importance of the occasion, the event will also be attended by Italy's culture minister, Alessandro Giuli. 'Florence has been waiting for this moment for a long time,' said Verde. 'The metal monster is being removed and Florence's dazzling beauty can finally return intact and unviolated.' Verde added that the 'havoc' caused by the crane had been weighing on the city for far too long, and that he hoped the momentous occasion would mark the beginning of the end of 'this cursed construction site'. Part of the total €180,000 (£152,000) cost will also be used to replace the crane with a less invasive and more sustainable hoist, allowing the works to finally be completed without sullying the city's aesthetics. 'This operation confirms that good administration can triumph despite everything,' said Verde.
