Best Strainer
Auoon Clip On Strainer ($9, originally $20)
You might be surprised by how much this clip-on strainer simplifies your life. Crafted from premium food-grade silicone, it attaches to the rim of most pots to make straining food easier. "No longer do I have to balance a separate hand-held strainer on the edge of the sink while trying to pour the hot water from the pasta, and no more wasted noodles or potatoes falling into the bottom of the sink by overpouring," writes one of many five-star reviewers.

Best Mini Waffle Maker
Dash Mini Maker For Individual Waffles ($16)
While this little device is technically a waffle maker, you can get creative with it and make waffled hash browns and cookies. One of our editors tried the pumpkin-shaped version and found it made a "perfectly" crisp waffle in two minutes flat.
Editor quote: "Just about two minutes later, the light on the device flashed green, and I opened up the waffle maker to find a perfectly crisp waffle. I repeated the process three times before taking some photos and then finally digging into the sweet treat." - Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce

Best Cleaning Gloves
Magic Dishwashing Cleaning Scrubber Gloves ($17)
These silicone gloves will make washing dishes more enjoyable. Shoppers love them; one person who gave them a five-star rating said: "They are extremely comfortable and clean the dishes even better than a regular brush because the bristles are so tiny that they get in all the small places in the utensils." They're an editor favorite, too.
Editor Quote: "I lathered the gloves in soap and started washing away. Getting my dishes squeaky clean was easier than ever, and honestly a little fun. The gloves feature slip-resistant grips, so wet items didn't slip away. They can withstand temperatures of -40 through 200 degrees Celsius, so using scorching-hot water wasn't an issue. Plus, they even come with a handy hook, so you can hang them up to dry when you're done." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Best Egg Cooker

Save time and water with this compact egg maker. It can cook up to six eggs in soft, medium, or hard-boiled firmness. It comes with a recipe booklet to inspire your next breakfast, brunch, or lunch. And its rave reviews don't lie. "It's the greatest little gadget and I am not usually a gadget person," wrote a reviewer who rated it five stars. "But this takes the guesswork out of hard boiling eggs and works in about half the time."

Best Electric Tea Kettle
Chefman 1.8L 1500W Glass Electric Kettle ($35)
If you're an avid tea drinker, treat yourself to this electric tea kettle. It boils water in as little as three minutes and even has an integrated tea infuser, so it combines two different products in one. The wide, removable lid makes it easy to clean and fill with water, and the "keep warm" function means your water will stay hot for an hour. Our editor tested it out and thinks it's a necessary indulgence for any tea lover.
Editor quote: "More than anything else, I appreciate that this electric kettle takes all the hassle out of having to boil water — whether it be for a cup of tea, hot cocoa, or even soup. I simply plug the product's swivel base into a power outlet, place the kettle (filled with water to the maximum line) on top of the base, and the appliance instantly turns on." - Kyley warren, assistant editor, Commerce

They're microwave and dishwasher safe, leak-free, and comes in three pretty pastel shades. This versatile trio includes a half gallon size bag, a sandwich bag, and a snack bag. Our former editor tested them out and discovered they're even handy for stashing personal care products for traveling.
Editor quote: "The quality is far more durable than I expected, and they don't feel like they will rip or tear easily. The best part? They're both microwave and dishwasher-safe, made from food-grade platinum silicone. My fear of cleaning them was quickly debunked when I tossed my first one in my nightly dishwasher run. I simply pulled it out the next morning, and it was ready to go again." - Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Best Dish Rack
Yamazaki Home Dish Rack ($87)
Looking for a stylish dish rack that can dry a pile of kitchenware without taking up much counter space? This minimalist dream of a dish rack is up for the job. The removable draining tray keeps water contained without needing to be placed by a sink, so you can shove it into a corner while dishes dry if you need every inch of counter space for food prep. Our editor tested it out and loves that it doesn't need to drain into the sink.
Editor quote: "While it's fairly petite in size, it can hold a surprising amount of dishes, thanks to the removable cutlery holder and strategically-molded steel frame. My favorite feature is the tall draining tray that doesn't need to be kept by the sink for overflow. Instead, I can tuck it back in a corner while dishes are drying or move it off of the counter entirely if I need more space." - Angela Elias, contributing editor, Commerce

Best Compact Air Fryer
Cosori Air Fryer TurboBlaze Compact Airfryer ($120)

It can switch between nine different functions, like roasting, baking, and dehydrating. It can cook up to 46 percent faster than former models and needs 95 percent less oil than traditional deep frying methods. Our editor tested it out and now relies on it for quick and healthy weeknight meals.
Editor quote: "So far, I've cooked a variety of items in my air fryer — from a wild Alaskan salmon that took less than eight minutes to cook to a cheesy pizza dip that I'm already planning on making again for the Super Bowl. And most everything is fully cooked and ready to serve in less than 20 minutes." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Best 8-Quart Air Fryer
Ninja DZ201 Foodi 8 Quart 6-in-1 DualZone 2-Basket Air Fryer ($200)
This two-basket air fryer is a brilliant option for busy families or partners with different food preferences. One of its standout features is its "Smart Finish" option that automatically adjusts the temperatures of both meals so that they finish cooking simultaneously.
Editor Quote: "There's so much I like about the Ninja Foodi DZ201 Air Fryer, starting with its dual-basket design. It's super convenient because my husband and I tend to eat different proteins. He tends to stick with chicken, and me, salmon, and with this air fryer, we can cook them simultaneously. Before, we'd have to cook them one at a time, or differentiate cooking methods, such as baking one and air-frying the other." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce

But the biggest draw of all is that using it really is as easy as the brand claims." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce
