33 Somewhat Boring Everyday Essentials That Are Cheap

There's nothing more frustrating than struggling to open the poop bag while your dog is exhibiting typical post-poop zoomies behaviors, going absolutely bonkers and pulling you in a million different directions. CHILL, BRO! An ice cube tray that'll make hollow cylindrical ice cubes — aka the perfect shape for your giant Stanleys and Hydro Flasks.

Now you don't have to remove the shower curtain too (and then inevitably hang it up backwards). And one certified genius even used the hooks as pant hangers. *mind blown* A "flossing toothbrush" with two types of bristles: flossing bristles that are 10 times thinner for really getting into the grooves between your teeth and regular firm bristles that are designed to last longer than the nylon bristles your current toothbrush probably has. Reviewers say it's gentle yet effective, even on sensitive teeth! A weighted cord holder if you're tired of having to perilously lean off the side of your bed each night to grab your fallen phone card. You can also use it to keep cords organized at a work station, or as a cable/headphone wrap if you're traveling! A mascara remover because you apply it just like mascara and it'll lift even the most stubborn waterproof formulas with ease. Or a tube of E.l.f. Cosmetic Lash XTNDR tubing mascara so you don't have to faff around with makeup removers — just wipe it clean with water! No smudging, no flaking, and no copious amount of scrubbing to remove mascara at the end of the day. A true blessing for thin, fragile lashes!

An easily washable drip catcher to prevent the counter space between the back of your faucet and the wall from turning into a puddle after you wash the dishes. This absorbent mat sits snugly around your faucet so the back section of your sink area stays dry. A water dispenser leveler that'll probably elicit a literal "OMG" from you now that you know there is a solution to the annoying problem of it being nearly impossible to fully fill a glass with water from the fridge because of the current angle of the spout. A microwave veggie steamer if you can't be bothered to boil a large pot of water just for your single serving of veggies. This steamer has a 2-cup capacity, so it's great for anyone who's cooking (or steaming) for one. An extendable silicone straw because no, I will not apologize for wanting it! Nope! I am lazy. I want to sit where I'm sitting and not have to bring a heavy Stanley water bottle to my mouth when I'm thirsty. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets so your foods emerge perfectly cooked instead of still raw or burned to a crisp because you guesstimated the cook time. A Dr. Scholl's heel repair balm for anyone with heels so cracked and dry that they refuse to let other people see their bare feet.

A pair of new and improved Loop Quiet 2 noise-reduction earplugs if you're easily overwhelmed by loud noises or just want to dull the sound of your coworkers having a full-on convo near your desk. A pack of light-dimming stickers because bright alarm clocks and flashing electronics shouldn't distract you from sleep. Plus, a contoured sleep mask so you can block out every speck of sunlight. It molds to your face sothe early-rising summer sun won't wake you from your slumber on the weekends at the god-awful hour of 6 a.m. A pack of Downy wrinkle-releasing spray for taking your dress shirt from a crumpled mess to a professional-looking garment. Think of all the free time you'll have not having to iron your clothes each morning or drive to and from the dry cleaner each week. A weekly keyboard planner to help you visualize your week, so you can organize your tasks and stay on top of to-dos. A set of oven liners that'll catch crumbs before they can permanently attach themselves to your oven and create a big freaking mess you'll spend hours cleaning. Raise your hand if you hate cleaning your oven. Great. Now take that same hand and click the "add to cart" button. A thumb light if it takes you a full three minutes to find the keyhole when you get home, and it's pitch black outside. You can also attach it to your TV remote (useful if you hate turning on the overhead lights for nighttime then you can't see the buttons), screwdrivers/tools, pet leashes, and more. A Revlon blender tool because a natural-looking blend on your contour, blush, and highlighter isn't just a pipe dream. The jelly-like silicone tip mimics the feel of your fingertips, allowing you to keep your hands clean while expertly concealing and blending. A waterless and instant makeup brush cleaner so you can skip the hours-long process of washing and drying your makeup brushes. This spray penetrates the brush hairs and melts oils and pigments fast while drying pretty much instantly. Wow! A bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater spray for, yes, messy eaters, but also muddy footprints, pet accidents, period-related stains, and more. Parents swear by this stuff for its magical ability to make that mess *poof* disappear without using chlorine, perfumes, and sulfates. I'm not a parent, but I am giddy at the thought of not having "period" underwear anymore because I can just spray the stains away. A trivet tree to protect your table from a hot pot or pesky water rings. When the trivets aren't in use, they stack on the included wooden base and look like a cute lil' tree! An internet-famous Eos Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that'll soak your skin with 24 hours of nongreasy hydration. Reviewers say it smells just as delicious (maybe even more delicious) than more expensive lotions like Philosophy's "Warm Cashmere" and B&BW "Vanilla Bean Noel." A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a genius bendable neck if it's a daily struggle trying to light a slumped-over wick that's half buried in wax. (Just me??) This is especially great if you have mobility issues or arthritis, as it turns on with a simple switch.

An ice cube tray that'll make hollow cylindrical ice cubes — aka the perfect shape for your giant Stanleys and Hydro Flasks.

Two products for the price of one! A time-saving fruit and veggie divider because pre-cut fruits and veg are expensive! Parents swear this thing saves them so much time and is pretty convenient because it's easy and safe enough for their kiddos to use — and the little ones find it fun to use, too! A Le Creuset magnetic trivet if you're always dangerously juggling hot plates. This GENIUS invention allows you to simply hover a hot pot over the trivet and — BAM! — the trivet will stick to the bottom, and you can place the pot on any nearby, stable surface. Gone are the days of frantically shouting, "Can someone help me in here?!" when your hands are full. A truly ~egg-cellent~ rapid egg cooker so you can enjoy an omelet (or a soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled egg as well as poached eggies — so many options!) in mere minutes.

A pack of carborundum sponges because these are the heavy hitters you'll want for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle. A single-handed server if you hate needing two hands just to scoop some salad. And it gives you more control over your serve — because using a spaghetti server means you either have way more pasta that you're going to eat or you're spooning noodles one by one onto your plate. A space-saving grater and slicer set so you don't have to invest in bulky and expensive individual versions. (You probs don't have the room in your tiny kitchen anyway!)

A set of refrigerator drip catchers so there isn't always a puddle in the water the floor in front of your fridge. They sit securely in the tray thanks to their magnetic design.

A cookware set with detachable handles to replace the pots and pans that are currently (and very inefficiently, I might add!) taking up basically all the storage space in your cabinets. The removable handle attaches to all pieces, and then you can pop it off and stick it in a separate drawer while you neatly stack the pots and pans in half the space your old set needed. A pack of reusable toaster bags for when a 2 a.m. craving for a grilled cheese hits, but you don't want to dirty a pan. Just plop your bread and cheese in the bag and then in the toaster, and you're minutes away from ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier (you might remember it from Shark Tank!) because it makes getting rid of leftover grease easier than whatever method you're using right now. Simply sprinkle the powder in your remaining oil while it's still hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets so you can clean as your machine runs — no need to spend your precious free time cleaning it by hand. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets that'll ensure your foods emerge perfectly cooked instead of still raw or burned to a crisp because you guesstimated the cook time. A pouring chute to save you a lot of frustration when you're baking. Both wet and dry ingredients slide down seamlessly and into the mixing bowl instead of ending up on the you will now have to clean. A set of oven liners for catching crumbs before they can permanently attach themselves to your oven and create a big freaking mess you'll spend hours cleaning. Raise your hand if you hate cleaning your oven. Great. Now, take that same hand and click the "add to cart" button. A set of modular sheet pan dividers because no, you don't need to suffer through veggies that are burned to a crisp because you had to leave the pan in the oven to make sure the salmon was fully cooked. With this handy system, you can just remove individual trays when the ingredients are fully cooked. A Souper Cube if weeknight dinners take you no less than an hour and a half to make (and that's not counting cleanup time!). This silicone freezing tray stores perfectly portioned soups, stews, sauces, and more so you can meal prep in bulk over the weekend and then freeze it in these trays. It's so easy to quickly grab them as needed and defrost them for an easy meal. A space-saving ceramic folding griddle so incredibly well designed that you'll swear some magical wizard made it. There's a built-in drip tray for grease and two temperature zones, meaning you can cook at different temperatures! Eggs on one side, bacon on the other. Meat on one side, veggies on the other. You get the idea! A box of cleaning K-Cups that'll get rid of residue in your machine and prevent flavors from transferring in just one cycle. Or have fun descaling it multiple times. Your choice! A trivet tree to protect your table from a hot pot or pesky water rings. When the trivets aren't in use, they stack on the included wooden base and look like a cute lil' tree! A microwave pasta cooker to save the day when you want soft, cheesy, noodly carbs but don't want the hassle of boiling water, cleaning a giant pot, and struggling to strain your noods without spilling hot water everywhere. A time-saving Thaw Belt because you didn't remember to move your chicken from the freezer to the fridge, and now you're home from work, starving, exhausted, and seriously considering ordering takeout. This silicone strap keeps your meat submerged so it defrosts in minutes instead of hours. A foil pan protector if your one job is to bring a dish to the family potluck, but your flimsy foil pans are doing their darnedest to leak everywhere. Enter the Fancy Panz. Simply plop your foil pan inside it (there's a riser so you can use it for both shallow and deep foil pans), and you'll have peace of mind knowing your pasta salad isn't sloshing around in the backseat, leaking dressing all over your car. You can even stack 'em — that's how sturdy they are. A pizza storage container so you don't lose the *entire* second shelf in your fridge to a pizza box. This expandable container grows to hold up to *5* slices of 'za and creates an airtight lid that keeps your slice from getting stale or soggy. AND! The dividers prevent your pieces from sticking together while also serving as plates when you want to microwave your pizza.

A lasagna trio pan that'll help you prepare meals for everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions. Mamma mia! *insert chef finger kiss* Promising review:"In a family of six, there are always SOME who don't like what everyone else is eating.

Takes the same amount of time to layer the noodles and the same amount of time to build the you have three different builds to satisfy those darned picky kids. Or hey, go adult gourmet in a way that Olive Garden cannot. What's fun with this pan is that it's not just lasagna. I tried making bread with it to good effect. Yeah, the loaves looked a little weird, but I DON'T CARE. I did it, and that's all. It gives me what I prize most in cooking Easy to clean, nonstick, though that requires a little care (use wood, not metal utensils).

You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for 4 years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe I'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." — Hoarder Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses). 11. A single-handed server if you hate needing two hands just to scoop some salad. And it gives you more control over your serve — because using a spaghetti server means you either have way more pasta that you're going to eat or you're spooning noodles one by one onto your plate. Promising review: "This is outstanding! I first used it at a family member's house while serving myself some salad. It grips well in your hand, grabs a lot of salad, and nothing falls out! I bought this for myself and just love it. I plan to gift these to those who I know serve salad often. Best scooper/server ever!" — JJ Get it from Amazon for $15. 12. A space-saving grater and slicer set so you don't have to invest in bulky and expensive individual versions. (You probs don't have the room in your tiny kitchen anyway!) It comes with a slicer, medium grater, and coarse grater, and the base serves as both a storage container (when it's in use) and a handy receptacle for sliced zucchini, grated cheese, etc. Amazon Promising review: "Easy to use and several different options for cutting your vegetables as needed. Sharp blades and it's a plus to hold everything you slice or dice in its container. Exactly what I needed. Very well made and easy to use. My go-to in my kitchen for my vegetables." — Giselle Get it from Amazon for $26.78. 13. A pack of towel clips that'll prevent kids and pets from pulling down the towel. Or, maybe you have neither of those things, yet your hand and kitchen towels always end up on the ground. Amazon Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great I had bought one sooner!" — Joanna Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 14. A 2-in-1 kitchen scale and measuring cup to reduce the number of dirty dishes you create and ensure your measurements are accurate. Promising review: "This scale with a built-in cup is the best thing for my baking tools. No more whipping out 1,000,000 cups. Also, [rather than] always trying to figure out grams or cups, now I just press a button, and it tells me I love this." — Corin lonigro Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in three colors). 15. A pancake batter mixer with a built-in BlenderBall wire for hotcakes and waffles as fast as you can shake it. Give your best bartender impression to mix the wet and dry ingredients. Breakfast will be ready in minutes *and* with fewer dirty dishes that require your attention. Promising review: This is the best breakfast invention after the waffle maker. LOVE IT! As someone who makes pancakes or waffles three to four times a week (my kids are pretty spoiled, but breakfast is key to getting through the first part of the school day), this is the easiest and fastest way to get that done. I just add everything to the bottle, shake it, and pour it into the waffle maker or griddle. When I am done, just add some water, shake again, empty, and then place everything in the dishwasher." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.28+ (available in two colors and with stencils). 16. A pair of meat shredder claws because pulling apart pounds of pork with two measly forks is not efficient or fun. Promising review:"I just made 26 pounds of pork butt for a large family gathering. Several months ago, I did the same thing, and my husband and I shredded it together with four forks. We scorched our hands repeatedly, and it took over 70 minutes. I looked at several shredding forks and settled in on these, and I sure am glad I did! They are solid, light, and sharp. They are not hollow on the back side, so the meat doesn't get stuck in them. It didn't take long to get the hang of them. They double as handles to pick the large 8.5 pounds of butts, which was very nice. They really do become extensions of your hands! I had read reviews that said that these don't let you get meat shredded finely, but that was certainly not my experience. Although I haven't used them on other sorts of meat yet, this pork was fall-off-the-bone tender, and it shredded very finely for me. And it did it so fast! I shredded all 26 pounds by myself in less than 30 minutes and didn't burn my hands once. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get really does beat the two-fork system!" — L. Smith Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). 17. A set of toss-and-chop salad tongs if you don't want to waste time pulling out a whole chopping board (that you will have to clean later) to transform your romaine into bite-sized pieces. Scissor supremacy! Use these blades to slice your greens as well as your toppings: eggs, tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, pieces of chicken, olives, apples, and more. Amazon Promising review: "Love these! I hate big leafy salads, so I bought these, and they're perfect for chopping greens into bites. I also use them to quickly chop cherry tomatoes, onions, and other veggies. VERY nice quality." — asoon Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 18. A set of refrigerator drip catchers so there isn't always a puddle in the water the floor in front of your fridge. They sit securely in the tray thanks to their magnetic design. Promising review: "This pad fits perfectly in our Samsung four-door in-door ice/water dispenser. Catches the occasional drips and matches the color of the dispenser perfectly. The four-pack lets you wash one and place another one into service immediately." — Amazon Customer Get a two-pack for $12.93+ (available in various color combinations and packs of four). 19. A pack of slow cooker liners that'll come in handy if you have a lot of hungry people to feed. With the disposable liners, you can cook different recipes at the same time, reducing your overall cooking time *and* saving you from having to wash a huge stack of dishes. Walmart PS: They also come in handy with dishes going into a water bath (think cheesecakes, custards, and puddings). Promising review:"We always use these liners in our crock pots. They rarely let me down. Makes clean-up a breeze. They will break if you use metal utensils and scrape the bottom with some force. I have only had one melt on me, when I accidentally left my Nesco on high while it was empty, otherwise they have never melted or burned. They impart no weird flavors into the food that is cooked. They are cheap and sure beat scrubbing!" — Hello Get a pack of six from Amazon for $3.48. 20. A cookware set with detachable handles to replace the pots and pans that are currently (and very inefficiently, I might add!) taking up basically all the storage space in your cabinets. The removable handle attaches to all pieces, and then you can pop it off and stick it in a separate drawer while you neatly stack the pots and pans in half the space your old set needed. Amazon, This set includes one removable handle, two frypans (9'' and 10''), one saucepan (2-quart), and one silicone lid. Promising review: "This set has been a dream! With my kids helping with dishes, this set has made the pots/pans cabinet a non-issue. Before, we had to stack the pans together, but they'd get stacked wonky because of the handles. With this set, we keep the handles in the utensil drawer and the rest stacked together. I typically cook without the handles attached (depending on the meal, of course) and clip on once complete to move the pan wherever it needs to go. I rinse the handle of any debris and put it away. Grab the storage lid and plop the pan directly into the fridge. This set has made a huge difference in my desire to cook, as the hassle from start to finish is a fraction of what it was with my old set!" — Brooke Get a five-piece set from Amazon for $49.99 (available in cream or black). 21. A pack of reusable toaster bags for when a 2 a.m. craving for a grilled cheese hits, but you don't want to dirty a pan. Just plop your bread and cheese in the bag and then in the toaster, and you're minutes away from ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness. Amazon These reusable bags are good for 50 to 100 washes and can hold pizza, chicken nuggets, and pastries. Promising review:"I love using these! Since I live alone, I don't like having to dirty a skillet to make just one sandwich. This makes a great sandwich in the toaster without any muss or fuss. They're easy to clean; just wipe it out or use a little soap and water if needed. The nonstick feature is very helpful." — Branwynmars Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in packs of 10). 22. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier (you might remember it from Shark Tank!) because it makes getting rid of leftover grease easier than whatever method you're using right now. Simply sprinkle the powder in your remaining oil while it's still hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash. FryAway is a woman-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation. Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know if this would work; waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature, it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." — Emma Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 23. A dirty dishwasher indicator if you find yourself thinking, "What's it gonna be today?" when you open your dishwasher. If your household doesn't consistently flip the clean/dirty dishwasher magnets, try this instead! It sits inside your dishwasher, so you know if dishes are clean or dirty depending on whether the container has water in it. Amazon Promising review: "I have been looking for a dishwasher done indicator to use on a stainless steel front (no magnets). This is the BOMB. NO moving parts. No flimsy clips. No tape, glue, or magnets. Simply slip it over the edge of the bottom basket, and you are good. The sturdy clip does not flex, so there is no wear and tear. The action of the washer fills up the tube. DONE. The first time you open the door after washing, tip out the tube, and you are ready again. that works." — MRMACHINE of Raleigh Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 24. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets so you can clean as your machine runs — no need to spend your precious free time cleaning it by hand. Promising review:"This cleaner does a fantastic job removing buildup and odors from my dishwasher. After one use, the inside looked sparkling clean and smelled fresh. It's easy to use—just pop it in and run a cycle. I now use it monthly to maintain optimal performance. It really extends the life of the appliance." — Morgan Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. 25. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets that'll ensure your foods emerge perfectly cooked instead of still raw or burned to a crisp because you guesstimated the cook time. Promising review:"So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy to have them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color, so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" — Small~Town~Girl Get them from Amazon for $6.75+ (available in two colors and a Spanish language version). 26. A pouring chute to save you a lot of frustration when you're baking. Both wet and dry ingredients slide down seamlessly and into the mixing bowl instead of ending up on the you will now have to clean. Amazon Promising review: "I have struggled with the pouring shields that came with my KitchenAid and Cuisinart stand mixers. They were messy and hard to use. I purchased this and forgot I had it! LOL. This weekend, I have been making tons of cookies and tried the New Metro chute out, and OMG! It works great. No mess. The flour or liquids go into the bowl and nowhere else. It's sturdy and super easy to use and clean. I highly recommend it. It's a quality product." — Retep Get it from Amazon for $22.31 (also available in a two-pack). 27. A set of oven liners for catching crumbs before they can permanently attach themselves to your oven and create a big freaking mess you'll spend hours cleaning. Raise your hand if you hate cleaning your oven. Great. Now, take that same hand and click the "add to cart" button. Amazon Promising review:"I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill or running the 'oven clean' option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while. I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for them to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner. It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer, and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn't the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!" — Hpg Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99. 28. A set of modular sheet pan dividers because no, you don't need to suffer through veggies that are burned to a crisp because you had to leave the pan in the oven to make sure the salmon was fully cooked. With this handy system, you can just remove individual trays when the ingredients are fully cooked. Promising review: "Brilliant. 100,000% Recommend them! It lets me separate veggies by how long they take to cook so they are all ready at the same time and nothing is over/undercooked. I love these cheat sheets. They are a great tool for my kitchen." — yule Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99 (lids available for purchase separately). 29. A Souper Cube if weeknight dinners take you no less than an hour and a half to make (and that's not counting cleanup time!). This silicone freezing tray stores perfectly portioned soups, stews, sauces, and more so you can meal prep in bulk over the weekend and then freeze it in these trays. It's so easy to quickly grab them as needed and defrost them for an easy meal. Each tray has four fill lines — 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 125 mL, and 250 mL — which is ideal for people who like to portion their food. You may remember Souper Cube from Shark Tank (Lori invested in the company!). This small business was started by four friends who loved soup but hated food waste. Promising review:"So happy that I found these. I'm the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it's impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I'm ready for the next batch!" — Debbie R. Texas Check out my colleague's Souper Cubes review! Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 31. A box of cleaning K-Cups that'll get rid of residue in your machine and prevent flavors from transferring in just one cycle. Or have fun descaling it multiple times. Your choice!

But when I need them, they're never there! I have to dig through my drawer just to locate one. Then I see this. What an amazing concept! They look cute on my counter or table. They're easy to use! Pull one off the 'tree' and set it on the counter/table. If it gets dirty, just wipe them down and put them back in the tree. Honestly, I love this tree and all its 'branches!'" — Cynthia Lancaster Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 33. A microwave pasta cooker to save the day when you want soft, cheesy, noodly carbs but don't want the hassle of boiling water, cleaning a giant pot, and struggling to strain your noods without spilling hot water everywhere. Amazon, Read our Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker review! Promising review:"I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! Be careful and read the instructions carefully, as you must leave the top off while cooking it. There are lines to indicate how much water to put in the cooker versus the amount of pasta you intend to cook. The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when the instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the water, and it works very well. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" — Tania Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 34. A time-saving Thaw Belt because you didn't remember to move your chicken from the freezer to the fridge, and now you're home from work, starving, exhausted, and seriously considering ordering takeout. This silicone strap keeps your meat submerged so it defrosts in minutes instead of hours. Amazon Promising review: "I have never defrosted food so easily. Food that would've taken about 20 minutes normally (due to floating or having other items holding stuff down, changing water temp) now only took a few minutes!" — Carissa Flowers Get it from Amazon for $9.90. 35. A foil pan protector if your one job is to bring a dish to the family potluck, but your flimsy foil pans are doing their darnedest to leak everywhere. Enter the Fancy Panz.

You can even stack 'em — that's how sturdy they are. Amazon Promising review: "Skeptical yet very satisfied!! I was a little skeptical, but it was worth it. Love it! No collapsing to worry about, so less mess, and I can stack on top without it getting smushed!!" — Jennifer Miles Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in nine colors). 36. A pizza storage container so you don't lose the *entire* second shelf in your fridge to a pizza box. This expandable container grows to hold up to *5* slices of 'za and creates an airtight lid that keeps your slice from getting stale or soggy. AND! The dividers prevent your pieces from sticking together while also serving as plates when you want to microwave your pizza. Promising review: "I love this! I used the pizza pack to store four slices. They fit great, and they were full-size slices. I also used the pizza trays included to warm up the pizza in the microwave. It did a pretty good job of getting the slices hot. I love the collapsible aspect. Great for easy storage. Great product, really good price, and made in the USA!!" — Tom Angiolillo Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in eight colors).
