20 Kitchen Products For Bad Cooks

A meat thermometer for anyone tired of butchering their chicken to check for pink spots or slicing into steak so many times the juices run out, leaving it bone dry. This gives you an instant temperature reading, so you don't accidentally overcook your rare steak to medium while waiting for a slow thermometer to catch up. It also comes with an easy-to-read chart that shows the safe internal temperatures for different meats— so you can have a yummy (salmonella-free) BBQ! A rotary grater if you've had way too many close calls trying to grate blocks of cheese for macaroni or slice thin veggies for ratatouille. This comes with three different attachments to grate, shred, or slice your favorite veggies, cheeses, or even chocolate with just a quick crank. The protective cover keeps your fingers away from the danger zone, so you can be allowed back in the kitchen without being a hazard. An Instant Pot, your holy grail if you can't keep up with recipes that require more than one pan *and* the oven — something will definitely end up burning. Your dinner possibilities are endless with the seven preset functions! You can make warm chicken soup, try out your grandma's beef stew, or if those are too hard, chicken and rice have never been simpler. A pair of salad cutting scissors if you aren't trusted with a knife in the kitchen but still want to help out. Just toss all your ingredients into a bowl and cut away (there's no way you can mess it up). A pair of herb scissors so even if your final dish isn't the most appealing, you can quickly cut up a little green onion razzle dazzle right on top. These scissors have five sharp blades to give you finely chopped herbs in seconds — say goodbye to struggling with the old cutting board and knife. A vampire garlic crusher if you love garlic but haven't quite figured out how to properly chop it without just smearing it all over your cutting board. His pointy little fangs turn a messy job into a quick and easy one. Just twist for garlic heaven without having smelly garlic hands for days. A corn stripper that lets you forget the terrifying strategy of standing a slippery ear of corn upright and attacking it with your questionable knife skills — it ends in disaster every time. This gets every last kernel without the mess of corn juice or the waste of leaving half the cob behind. The stainless steel blade just glides through, so you can have a fresh bowl of Mexican street corn in no time for your next BBQ! A trio pack of Dan-O's seasoning because salt and pepper alone is not enough!! You can choose from original, spicy, or chipotle, all made with low sodium, so there is no such thing as overseasoning. If you are scared of branching out or mixing your own concoction, Dan-O's makes it easy to cook up the tastiest fish, meat, or vegetables. You can finally say goodbye to boring, bland food! A snap-on strainer so your noodles can actually stay in the pot instead of going down your drain. No more struggling, trying to hold a strainer with one hand and pouring the heavy pot with the other. Just clip and pour, so easy! A vegetable chopper for when you've watched a thousand cooking videos and still don't know how to dice an onion. This comes with four attachments for different-sized dices and even a spiral blade if you're into the zoodle trend. Just place your veggie right in the chopper and give it a good SMACK! You'll have pico de gallo or stir-fry-ready veggies in seconds. Al Dente, your Italian bestie that'll watch your pasta while you figure out what went wrong with your pasta sauce. Just place him right in your pot and listen out for his little song so you can finish the job. It's truly an offer you can't refuse. Or a microwave pasta maker that makes cooking spaghetti even *simpler* (even boiling water can be hard sometimes). There's no need to dirty a bunch of dishes or throw your pasta at the wall to make sure it's perfectly al dente, this container has all you need to have a delicious pasta dinner with no mistakes. An electric peeler that'll save you time and your fingers when prepping a bunch of potatoes. Its hand-free design allows you to set and forget, while you practice your knife skills on your other ingredients. It also minimizes waste, so you are getting more of your produce instead of accidentally peeling it all away. A rapid egg cooker that'll give you hard-boiled, soft-boiled eggs, or even an omelette at the push of a button. If you're stressing over being assigned to bring deviled eggs for the potluck, this will cut your prep time in cut out the part of you accidentally under-boiling 100 eggs. Or an egg timer for when you like boiling the old fashion way but still haven't quite gotten the timing right for a ramen soft jelly egg. This little chick starts off red but slowly fades to white when your desired egg has reached the correct temperature. Now you can add "boiled eggs" to your cookbook, right next to instant ramen. A digital rice cooker — if you constantly serve burnt or soggy rice, you need this ASAP! It comes with various presets, labeled measurements, and tools to even steam veggies. Reviewers especially love the "keep warm" feature that keeps your rice fresh even hours after cooking. So if you get distracted trying to ensure your chicken isn't raw, you can have peace of mind that at least your rice will be edible. A cut-resistant glove if you have had far too many close calls using a mandolin, trying out that viral cucumber salad. These gloves are stronger than leather for extra protection, so now you can be trusted in the kitchen again. An EZ Bomb, a ball of seasoning to make the perfect pot of birria that even grandma would approve of. This dissolves right into your water, dispersing a burst of seasonings and flavors for an easy, no-mess dinner. You'll never go back to trying to follow a cookbook that just ends with you ordering takeout. A silicone spill stopper if you're tired of your pot boiling over and turning your stove into a disaster zone. Just place this right on top of your pot — no babysitting required. It will keep everything calm and contained so you can move on to the next step in your recipe without sprinting to check on your water. A veggie holder designed to help you get even slices without getting a slice of your finger in the process. This gives you a good grip, so you're not chasing your veggies as they slide all over your cutting board. This will definitely improve your knife skills so you can feel like a pro in no time.

29 Kitchen Products So Good, Reviewers Say They Bought Them For Friends And Family

A snap-on pasta strainer that saves you from that awkward, dangerous game of balancing a hot pot over the sink, trying not to spill boiling water everywhere. It can handle temps up to 400 degrees F and fits most pots and pans. And the best part? No more leaving a big colander sitting in your sink for days just because you wanted some Kraft mac 'n' cheese. A set of fun, colorful vinyl coasters so your morning cup of joe doesn't leave a ring on your beautiful wood dining table. A Loch Ness Monster–shaped ladle with little feet that keep it upright, which not only makes it look like Nessie's bobbing around in your soup but also prevents your spoon from slipping into the pot, getting stew all over the handle. Plus, this mini monster is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup! A 12-piece Caraway cookware set so you'll have what you need to make all those saved recipes from your late-night scrolling. This set has a nontoxic coating and is oven safe — which makes cooking infinitely easier. And the fact that these last so fricking long (years and years!) makes them well worth the investment. A veggie chopper for keeping your counter tidy while speeding up your prep time. If you love to cook but hate chopping (who doesn't, right?) this thing is a lifesaver. It chops just about everything — onions, peppers, zucchinis, potatoes, you name it! Plus, it comes with different blades for slicing, dicing, and even spiraling your favorite veggies. A vampire garlic crusher (aka "Count Gracula") that makes mincing garlic much easier and more entertaining. It's the perfect silly yet functional gadget for any garlic fanatics. A rectangular lazy Susan to save all that food from disappearing into the back of your fridge like it's the Bermuda Triangle. Now you might actually have a chance at finishing that container of Greek yogurt instead of finding it months later, covered in mold. Plus, its shape maximizes your fridge space way better than the traditional round ones! An electric potato peeler that Dennis from It's Always Sunny would've loved for his apples. It's a hands-free operation, so you can prep other ingredients while this takes care of the potatoes, and the nonslip grip keeps it from tipping over, even when it's really working. Plus, it has two spare blades conveniently stored in the base, making sure you're always ready for your next round of peeling. A heavy-duty ice cream scoop strong enough to go up against the rock-solid tub of "The Tonight Dough" that's been chillin' (pun intended) in your freezer for two months. Reviewers rave about its durability, amazing handle, and how effortlessly it scoops, forming a flawless sphere every time. A two-pack of Dan-O's seasoning that went viral on TikTok for being so delicious without any added preservatives, MSG, or excess sodium. People use it to season a wide variety of dishes, including meats, vegetables, seafood, and even popcorn. A mini waffle maker loved for its sleek design, super fast heat-up time, and nonstick surface that makes waffle-making (and cleanup) a breeze. It's super versatile; you can use it for other recipes like hashbrowns, brownie bites, or even egg dishes. Plus, it takes up very little space and comes in a variety of fun colors to fit your kitchen style! A 14-ounce portable personal blender you can drink straight out of to avoid creating yet another dish to wash. You'll be able to make your morning smoothie while half asleep — just throw in the ingredients, press the button, and you're good to go! A rapid egg cooker so you don't have to compromise between eating a decent breakfast or doing your hair. It cooks up to six eggs at a time in any style you like, be it soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled, poached, scrambled, or even as omelets! A stainless-steel pepper and jalapeño corer so those seeds don't take up residency in between your teeth (and, in the case of jalapeños, burn off your taste buds). This one is designed with a ribbed, scoop-like head that grips and removes the seeds with very little effort on your part. A set of Bottle Bright tablets to turn cleaning your water bottle from one of the most laborious chores to the least. Just drop in a tablet, add warm water, let it soak while the tablet fizzes up, then rinse. Voilà — your bottle is sparkling clean without any scrubbing! A set of "wine wands" if you love wine, but can't seem to enjoy it without your head pounding in the morning. This clever little device comes with filters that help remove histamines and sulfites — common culprits behind headaches and hangovers. It's super portable, so you'll be good to go for any spur-of-the-moment drinks! A microwave pasta maker that lets you cook pasta quickly and easily without the need for a stove, or a pot, or a pasta ladle, or a colander. I never realized how many things are needed to make a simple spaghetti dinner. A marble board wire cheese cutter for effortlessly slicing through cheese with precision — and when you're not using it, it'll just sit pretty on your counter, adding a touch of style to your kitchen. A silicone baking mat so you don't have to break your arm scrubbing off the residue after your single-pan meal. These can handle temps up to 480 degrees F and can be used over and over (and over), saving you from spending on rolls of parchment paper. And just FYI, these go on TOP of your metal sheet pans. A Mason jar-esque cold brew coffee maker because let's face it — this economy can't support daily iced coffee runs anymore. It's got a leak-proof lid that's easy to pour from and a mesh filter that keeps you from chewing your coffee. Just a heads up: Don't add boiling water! A set of magnetic fridge spice organizers if you're in desperate need of more cabinet space or keep forgetting what spices you have because they're always getting lost in the back of the cupboard. No need to worry about them falling off — they're designed with heavy-duty magnets, and reviewers attest to how securely they stay in place! A magnetic air fryer cheat sheet because it's all too easy to go on your phone to look up the cook time for chicken nuggets, only to end up scrolling through TikTok and completely forgetting what you were doing in the first place. A set of reusable Gripstic bag sealers so your precious "Everything But the Bagel" chips from Trader Joe's don't go stale after a week. They slide across the entire top of the bag, ensuring an airtight seal, and will fit in even the most cluttered of drawers (unlike bulky chip clips). A silicone muffin mold to replace your old rusting one that takes way too much effort to remove cupcakes from. In fact, reviewers say their muffins basically fall right out of this and that it's super easy to clean. A bamboo beginner's sushi-making kit that's perfect for a fun date night, hanging with friends, or even just enjoying on your own. Reviewers say it's sturdy and has held up well over time, so you'll be able to make your own California rolls for years to come! A nonstick stuffed patty mold so you can have cheese on top of *and* inside your burger. But you can let your creativity run wild and fill it with anything you want, like mushrooms, onions, peppers — anything your heart desires. A terra-cotta garlic roaster that'll turn your garlic into a spreadable delight. It evenly distributes heat, softening the garlic and bringing out its rich, aromatic flavor. Just pop in the cloves, drizzle with a little olive oil, and roast away. A ring can opener for anyone who's ever struggled to get that tab to lift. It's compact, easy to use, and gives you a smooth, safe way to open cans without making a mess or hurting your fingers. A magnetic microwave cover that conveniently attaches to the microwave ceiling, ensuring it's always ready when you need it. Now when you reheat your lasagna leftovers, it won't look like an actual crime scene.

Dan-O's Seasoning Celebrates 10th Anniversary With New Label With a Fresh New Look

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dan-O's Seasoning is celebrating 10 years of business growth with a transition to a new label design as part of the brand's evolution. Say hello to Dan-O's Seasoning Premium Blends, same great taste, just with a bolder, more eye-catching look. The new label will keep the classic Dan-O's Seasoning charm – but a makeover includes new vibrant colors that are bolder but keeping the distinctive cap color. "Dan-O's has grown rapidly into a successful and fun brand in the last decade," said Christy Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer of Dan-O's Seasoning. "This new label spices up our brand a bit more, with added information and increased shelf appeal so that more people can discover the flavorful fun of Dan-O's. The new label better represents who we are today and the future we're building." The new labels will also feature added nutritional icons for easy reference and even a short note that emphasizes the inspiration behind the seasoning brand's "flavorful revolution." Most notably, die-hard fans and consumers may notice the image on the front is a close-up shot of Lil Danny in his overalls – a carry-over from the original label. Dan-O's Premium Blend will use the same bold type font and will remain easily recognizable for those searching for Original, Preem-O, Cheesoning or other blends on the store shelf. The ingredients of each blend will still be listed so fans can use Dan-O's on their favorite foods, however they wish. The new label will first be seen on Dan-O's newest blend – Chili Lime. Launched on April 9, this unique blend combines vibrant lime with a bold mix of peppers, delivering a perfectly balanced heat with a refreshing lime twist. Hailed as a flavor upgrade, Chili Lime creates the perfect balance of smoky chili heat and tangy lime zest brings any dish to life. Grilling, roasting, or sprinkling it on fresh fruits, this blend adds a punch of bold, citrusy spice that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. This milestone marks an exciting chapter for Dan-O's, as the brand continues to push boundaries and innovate within the seasoning space. The new labels should start appearing on store shelves in late April and will eventually be everywhere in the coming weeks and months.
