20 Kitchen Products That Are Actually Worth The Drawer And Counter Space

This model has a 72-ounce BPA-free pitcher with a pour spout. It's dishwasher-safe so cleanup will be a breeze. There are three different blending speeds, and the blender is designed so that the blades won't spin unless the lid is tightly secured into place.

Promising review: "I love making smoothies and blew through two regular blenders within four months, so I needed a heavy-duty blender. This Ninja Professional Blender fits the bill perfectly. It's easy to use, chops ice and fruit with no problem, and is simple to use. I love this Ninja because it's simple, i.e., it has easy-to-read and easy-to-use buttons without all of the nuances of some of the more expensive models. I highly recommend the Ninja Professional if you're looking for a classic and up-to-date blender that'll power-through ice, fruit, and whatever else you throw at it." —SmoothieGirl

This six-quart machine works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker/porridge maker, steamer, saute/browning, yogurt maker, and warmer. Read a BuzzFeeder's review of the Instant Pot!

Promising review: "We made our first meal in the Instant Pot the other day, which was ribs, and what would normally take four to six hours in a slow cooker took only 35 minutes using the meats/stew button on the Instant Pot, and the ribs fell off the bone! I couldn't believe I could have dinner done that quickly! This is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker/porridge maker, steamer, saute/browning, yogurt maker and warmer. You can get rid of all those things you have because now you have it all in one pot! It has a keep warm setting and also a 24-hour delay start option, too. You can slow cook for 0.5–20 hours, which is the best part for me because many times I lose track of time and forget to set my slow cooker and realize I now have two hours to cook dinner when the lowest option on a slow cooker is four hours. No need to worry about that anymore. Just be super careful with the pressure cooker as the steam releases fast and high. Greatest cooking appliance I have ever had so far." —Brazilchick32

Promising review: "I bought mine in Empire Red, and it's gorgeous! I've already used it multiple times since purchasing, and I've got tons of the attachments on my Christmas wish list! You CANNOT go wrong with this purchase. Most people run at the sight of a high price tag (especially when you're in your 20s like me) but this mixer is worth every penny! You will have it for a LIFETIME! My mom has had hers for over 25 years, and it still works as great as the day she got it. So excited to create some delicious memories with mine!" —TexasChic

Promising review: "Super easy to use. I have only tried zucchini so far. You cut the tip off and push in one end, then turn like a pencil sharpener! Great for pasta replacement. I did two zucchinis, and it made a huge amount. Then I sauteed with olive oil, a little butter, lots of garlic, few red peppers, and mushrooms. Top with parmesan!" —Denise

Read a full review of this bread machine by a BuzzFeeder!

Promising review: "I had no prior experience working with yeast, making dough, or baking bread so I was a bit worried that I would mess things up, but I made my first loaf today, and it came out great. The bread was crusty on the outside and hot and chewy on the inside. Even better than bread from the local bakery. This machine is very easy to use. A few tips: Read the instruction booklet, add the ingredients in the EXACT order they are listed in the recipe, be sure all liquids are room temperature, and measure precisely. Then all you do is press a few buttons, and the machine does the rest. The bread came out wonderful. I am very happy with my purchase, I highly recommend this machine. It has all the same features as the more expensive machines on the market. I see no reason to spend more money on a more expensive machine when this one works sooo well!" —seasonschange

Promising review: "I never write reviews but this griddler is so great, I felt I had to! We have made paninis, grilled cheese, hamburgers, and pork tenderloin in the last two weeks on it, and they all have turned out perfect! Clean up is very easy with the removable coated plates. I am not a gadget person but this griddler is now a mainstay in our kitchen." —LS217

Each set includes four bowls and four lids. Pyrex glass is dishwasher-, refrigerator-, microwave-, and pre-heated oven safe. The lids are made of BPA-free plastic.

Promising review: "You can always count on Pyrex for a quality product, and this set of mixing bowls is no exception. The set provided every size I wanted with the added convenience of tight-fitting plastic lids, which makes them perfect for refrigerated leftovers, too. Glass is my preferred choice for mixing/storage bowls because it's easy to keep germ-free and spotlessly clean, and it won't stain if you're storing leftover spaghetti or cherry jello. I had a set of plastic mixing/storage bowls that wound up looking like they'd been through a war after only six months, and they even warped in the dishwasher. I highly recommend these Pyrex mixing bowls." —MissMacy

Promising review: "Meats cook juicy and tender and frozen fries cook golden brown. Healthy cooking, as you can actually see the grease and oils dripping into the catch pan under the grill! If you're a couple or small family, you will be able to prepare a meal in a fraction of the time it normally takes and with much tastier results." —MacGyver

Promising review: "The main improvement I've seen over the Scotch-Brite sponges I used to buy is not getting that foul smell that builds up in the sponge after about a week of use, even when it is cleaned out and squeezed out really well. Thank our Florida water for that, lol. These sponges are tough, do the job, and (I feel) are reasonably priced!" —Cappy

Promising review: "I fell in love with the convenience of this electric kettle. It boils water in less than two minutes (bye bye traditional tea kettle!) and makes boiling water a snap — I can't believe how fast this kettle is! On winter mornings, my husband and I like to pre-heat our coffee mugs with hot water before filling them, and this kettle works great for this purpose. Also, we always add a little warm water to our dog's dry dog food and we used to run the tap until the water warmed, wasting water and time. Now, by the time we pour the dog food into the bowl, the hot water is heated and ready to pour. The blue lights in the base of the unit glow beautifully and are rather visually captivating. And with a glass kettle, you can watch the water as it progresses to boiling. It shuts off automatically once the water fully comes to a boil, but you can lift the kettle off the base anytime if you just need hot but not boiling water. There are so many uses for this kettle that I don't think we'll ever find ourselves without one from now on!" —ceebee
