Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE my IP! I am a baker and cook all the time, BUT I hate all the mess. So sometimes, I just don't cook. But I have had this a week already, and have cooked every day. Hard boiled eggs, oh my gosh! The peels LITERALLY fall off, no more trying to get them off. It took me 1.5 minutes to peel 10 eggs and I was taking my time. Last night, I decided I would try New York cheesecake. Talk about EASY? And it was done in 35 minutes! It took so much longer to just let it cool and put into the fridge. It was PERFECT! Seriously people, get one. READ THE BOOK, for safety etc. And go to Pinterest or YouTube and start grabbing those recipes. WOOHOO I LOVE IT!" —Starrstylist

This lil' appliance can transform eggs into hard-boiled, soft-boiled, poached, scrambled, or individual omelet masterpieces — all within minutes of the push start button!

Promising review: "I originally purchased the smaller, 6-egg Dash egg cooker. I am always the one who brings the deviled eggs, and at New Year's this year I made 5 dozen. After using the 6-egg cooker I decided if I was going to do that again I'd have to get the one that cooks a dozen at a time. It's just as easy to use and lovely as the smaller version. The eggs are so much better cooked in steam than boiled — the whites are silky and smooth, and not rubbery like can sometimes happen when you boil." —J. VanMatre

It has 12 settings, including French, gluten-free, quick bread, sweet, 1.5 lbs. express, 2 lbs. express, dough, jam, cake, whole grain, and bake! Ogle all the delish goodies from a BuzzFeeder who loves this machine.

Promising review: "Since the bread machine arrived, I have made so much bread, and ingested more carbohydrates than any one person should. Making bread in this machine is super easy, and the product also comes with a handy recipe book. You can even delay the start of your bread so you'll come home to a perfectly timed fresh loaf." —Harper Hendrickson

Get it from Jet for $37 or Walmart for $46.99.

Has a 12-cup food capacity, includes three fry baskets, and some parts are dishwasher-safe.

Promising review: "This thing is very versatile, works great, and I use it regularly. The removable grease container is much easier to clean than the typical deep fryer, but the heating element is a real pain in the keister to clean. The only problem I’ve had with it is that the heat from the oil has melted the very lower edge of the lid (which is very thin to start with), but it doesn’t interfere with the operation." —Sailorman

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (options with one or two baskets are cheaper).

FYI, it's pre-seasoned!

Promising review: "My husband scoffed when I told him I ordered this. Now it's the first pan he reaches for instead of the cookie sheet for oven baking. We love it for baking cookies and pizza crust turns out excellent every time. This baby was worth every penny and the extra big handles make it easy to handle putting in or taking out of the oven." —Lula

FYI, the 6-quart stainless steel bowl has a super comfortable handle. If you're still mulling over this buying decision, read why you should buy one already. Oh, and these things last forever.

Promising review: "This is a monster!! This was a gift for my hubby and he loves it. We have also the KitchenAid classic 300 watts, and it looks like a toy compared to this. Great buy!!!" —NenaLiu

Get it from Amazon for $249+ (available in three colors).

Includes a whisk attachment 2.5-cup BPA-free chopper attachment with lid locks,

3-cup BPA-free blending jar with lid to serve or store for later. Oh and it's top rack–dishwasher safe.

Promising review: "Yes, the 'chrome' piece that covers the spindle and blade is actually plastic, but this is a quiet, powerful, and sturdy kitchen tool at a very reasonable price. Not to mention that cleanup is a breeze compared to those large food mills, and the added pieces also provide the functionality of a 'bullet' blender. If you don't own this type of blender, it's just because you haven't yet realized how easy and versatile it is — and this is a very good brand at a very good price." —James H.

Food sealed with this system can be stored in the freezer for up to three years!!! The set includes one accessory hose, three 1-quart vacuum seal bags, two 1-gallon vacuum seal bags, and one 11”x10’ vacuum seal roll.

Promising review: "This ingenuous sealer has revolutionized our freezing process! No more sucking out air from ziplock freezer bags with straws. We've frozen raspberries, blueberries, snap peas, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower. With softer and juicier items the trick is to stop the vacuum before it automatically stops then manually hit the seal' button. If you let the machine do its thing to the end of the vac cycle, it will suck out the juices as well as the air and then the bag won't seal. It just takes a bit of watching. The beauty of the machine is its simplicity. No extra features to go wrong and because we don't have gallons of produce to freeze, we don't mind having to open the machine after each bag is sealed. Highly recommend using Food Saver bags as they are much tougher than other brands. Couldn't be happier with this purchase." —chegutu

Its leakproof and airtight design lets you mix, serve, and store salad dressing in one convenient 1 3/4 cup capacity container.

Promising review: "I am not a gadget person. Having noted that, this is the best kitchen tool I have added in a long time. I only use homemade dressing. I can measure right into it. The blade mechanism for storing works magnificently. While the dressing is refrigerated, it hardens up. I take it out at the beginning of salad preparation to let it soften a bit at room temperature. The blade is then strong enough to mix the dressing. I cannot remember the last time I was this happy (not just satisfied) with a product." —Kelly M.

It's non-stick, dishwasher-safe, and BPA- and PFOA-free! *And* it comes with a recipe book. BTW, here are some solid one-pot Dutch oven recipes for your perusing.

Promising review: "I have been using this Dutch oven regularly for over three months. It looks as good as when I bought it. The non-stick is still completely intact. I love the handles, they are easy to hold and feel secure when handling." —Jean

Get it from BuzzFeed's Tasty collection at Walmart for $27.88 (also available in blue and red).

Slices or shreds vegetables, fruits, and cheese, and includes four interchangeable stainless-steel cones for cutting. The base wipes clean and all other parts are dishwasher-safe.

Promising review: "I must have been raised by wolves, no offense to wolves I love them. But I have been wrestling with cheese graters forever. I bought this and my life changed. This is the easiest, simplest little tool I've ever owned of any of my appliances. It has two parts that need to be washed. Effortless grating, couldn't be happier-would be a great gift to give to another. I wish I had bought this 30 years ago." —1goddess

FYI, we tested out the best blenders and this one won out for the middle price point!

Promising review: "We were frustrated with our old blender. It worked, but tended to leak, no matter how tightly we tried to screw in the blade part on the bottom of the pitcher. And with some things we tried to blend, the contents just wouldn't move around inside the blender enough to get the job done. Also it was often hard to get the blender pitcher screwed into the bottom unit correctly so that it would work. We looked through lots of reviews of various blenders, and decided that even though this was quite expensive it looked to be a lot better than what we had. We are very happy with this purchase. It's sooo much easier to use! We don't have to unscrew the blade from the pitcher. We don't have to screw the pitcher into the bottom unit. It just sets down easily. It's got a self-cleaning cycle. It's got a plastic tamper to help move the food around if needed. It's quick and powerful. What's not to love?" —Penny Ladnier

No, these aren't like your other mixing bowls. Just think of all the pasta noodles that won't end up in your sink drain!!! They're stackable, dishwasher-safe, and the bowl has a non-slip bottom.

Promising review: "These two colanders are absolutely amazing! They are the perfect size for washing small fruits or large vegetables. The stackable feature also makes storage a breeze! Definitely love the elevated plastic feature at the bottom so food doesn't touch the bottom of the kitchen sink. These colanders are a great value for as durable as they are!" —Eliza

Ok, so even if you're not into zoodles, a spiralizer is an ~exciting~ way to add veggies into meals without the hardship of chopping. And one with a crank like this is easier to use than a pared-down version (trust me, I know). BTW, the pieces are made of BPA-free plastic and stainless-steel blades.

Promising review: "I am a raw vegan and shredding zucchini has been such a pain. It eats up all my time and i often cut my fingers. However, with this I can be done and sitting down to eat a yummy dinner in less than 20 minutes, including wash time! I was surprised by how smooth and easy to operate it was. I was scared that i would constantly have to realign the zucchini, but u never have to. I was most surprised by the suction cups. I didn't think they would do much but wow they work perfectly. Don't hold down on the spiralizer with the hand that is not turning the crank. You do not need to. The suction cups hold it in place flawlessly. To release the suction cups, just kinda lift up a little corner of the cup and it will come off easy peasy." —EB

Have you ever used a blender for a task that's *supposed* to be for a food processor? I have SEVERAL times and it ain't pretty. Anyway, this 3-cup work bowl is dishwasher-safe.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this 3-cup mini food processor for almost two years now. I love it so much that I needed to finally give a review. I only cook for two, so it’s the perfect size for us. I’ve used it to make smoothies, grind nuts, and prepare sauces. I’ve even used it to grind oatmeal into oatmeal flour. I have a small kitchen and only have room for the most useful equipment/utensils. This one passes the test. It is also easy to clean…no nooks or crannies for food to get stuck in." —Value Guy

This top rack-dishwasher safe tool splits, pits, and slices avocados. Aka, it's well worth the space in your miscellaneous kitchen tool drawer.

Promising review: "I thought it would be one of those gadgets filed at the back of the junk drawer in the 'waste of money' category. I was wrong. I eat avocado every day and they are messy to prepare and serve. The plastic knife has enough of a wedge to provide the mechanical advantage to cut through the skin and flesh of the avocado. But it is not as sharp as a regular knife. I do not think it would draw blood (as has happened to me when standard kitchen knives slip against a hard skin or slippery flesh). The center hole with 4 blades that bite into the avocado pit really do grasp and hold it as you rotate the slicer. The pit comes out effortlessly. And the slicer, which I thought would never work because the avocados that I buy are so small compared to the larger California Haas avocados, in one smooth move separates all the flesh from the skin while providing you with even slices. I thought this plastic slicer would mash the avocado and make instant guacamole in the skin. I never thought it could provide even perfect slices of avocado so easily. I keep this in the fridge vegetable bin right beside the avocados so that I do not even need to go to the drawer to get it." —Five Star One

It has a non-stick coating that's BPA- and PFOA-free, and dishwasher-safe!

Get it from BuzzFeed's Tasty Collection at Walmart for $8.87.

It opens up to 30 bottles on a single charge with a simple push-button operation.

Promising review: "Excellent. Probably not the most trendy wine bottle opener on the market, but definitely one of the easiest to use. On the plus side, after opening around 1,500 bottles of wine, it only failed once. And that was an operator error. You do have to start the point of the corkscrew somewhere in the middle of the cork. If the corkscrew is inserted between the cork and the neck of the wine bottle, it will not work well. But I suppose that would be true of any corkscrew. Once charged it can easily open a dozen bottles of wine. I have not tried to open more than that. The foil cutter [which is stored in the the charging stand] is easy to locate and to and works very well. My wife is petite and starting to develop some arthritis in her hands. The design and size this opener makes it easy for my wife to grip and use. The only negative I can up with is that it is a bit large and since it does require recharging, so it would probably not travel well." —Frank Something

The smooth, rotating body and comfortable turning knob is perfect for measuring and dispensing peanut butter, honey, and other sticky ingredients. Oh, and it's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "Many power-bar recipes I make frequently call for nut butter or agave syrup, both sticky, gluey substances. Tired of messing up measuring cups, spatulas to get the sticky stuff in, and then back out, of the cups, I thought I'd give this a try. Wonderful! Yes, you need a spatula to get the nut butter or sticky stuff into the measuring cup, but then you turn the outside, and the material spirals into your mixing bowl. Easy to use, your hands stay clean. When you done, you can soak it or toss it into the dishwasher and let the machinery do the dirty work." —QuinnCreative
