No splattering, no burnt bacon, no dry rubbish, no mess. Just perfect crunchy bacon, exactly the way you like it. That’s what this rack for preparing bacon in your microwave promises. Hang the bacon slices over the rack—almost as if you were hanging wet socks over a drying rack. Then the microwave does the rest. The bacon fat drips into the collection tray attached beneath the rack. Genius is sometimes found in the simplest things—but why did we never think of this ourselves before?!
3. Waffle maker for stuffed waffles (€ 48.58)
What’s the next level of a freshly baked waffle? A freshly baked stuffed waffle. That may sound like a lot of fiddling, but not if you have this waffle maker for stuffed waffles at home. It’s basically a thicker waffle maker. First fill the bottom with waffle batter, then add your favorite filling, top it with some more batter and finally close the waffle maker. In just a few minutes, you’ll have the waffle of your dreams. Filled with Nutella, cheese, fruit, vegetables… *drool*
4. Salad scissors (€ 27.16)
Cutting salad? Absolutely! Why struggle with a knife when you can simply cut with scissors? It also saves you washing up, because you no longer need a cutting board. With these salad scissors from Amazon, you can cut more than just lettuce into pieces. Tomatoes, bell peppers, hard-boiled eggs and basically anything you can put in a salad can be chopped in no time.
5. Plate for hot pizza, toasted sandwiches and waffles (€ 14.99)
What happens when you put a piping-hot slice of pizza, toasted sandwich or waffle on a cold, flat plate? The base turns soft and soggy. Such a waste! This innovative plate was designed to solve that problem. The grooves in the plate create an uneven structure, allowing the steam to escape. This keeps your pizza, bread or waffle crisp and dry. Just as they’re meant to be.
6. Portable electric lunch warmer (€ 38.85)
Do you like your lunch warm? Soup, pasta or ramen, for example? Then the Crock-Pot will be your new best friend. This portable electric lunch warmer heats up your lunch in no time, wherever you are. You only need a power outlet; other than that, you can use the Crock-Pot anywhere. The pot has the perfect capacity for one person. Plus, it looks pretty fashionable too. Don’t you think? And all for less than €40! We call that a bargain.
7. Complete sushi-making kit (€ 9.71)
Is making sushi not your strong suit? No wonder, because you need a few skills for it. With this complete sushi-making kit, making sushi is a piece of cake. It includes a handy bamboo rolling mat, chopsticks and wooden spoons for scooping up your rice. It also comes with a downloadable guide for beginner sushi chefs. For less than a tenner, you’ll soon be a rising sushi star.
8. Souper Cubes (€ 19.39)
Do you know the trick of freezing sofrito in ice cube trays? This lets you portion the flavor base very easily. Super handy, but if you want to freeze soup, for example, those compartments are simply too small. Unless you only want to eat one bite of soup, of course. For this problem, Amazon offers the incredibly handy Souper Cubes. These are silicone freezer molds with larger compartments, perfect for portioning out soup. Or a larger portion of sauce, for example. See, no need to mess around with all those tiny cubes!
9. Baguette container (€ 24.29)
A piece of baguette with your favorite topping is like being transported straight to a picnic in France. Naturally, you sometimes want to recreate that feeling during your boring office job, so you bring a deliciously crusty baguette for lunch. But how do you take it with you? Plastic wrap makes the sandwich soggy, and it doesn’t fit in a regular lunchbox. This special baguette container from Amazon is the solution. Your sandwich stays fresh, all the ingredients remain in place and you can easily put it in your bag. Another fun bonus: you can also shake cocktails in it. Just saying.
10. Portable mini salt and pepper shakers (€ 9.28)
Some people will find this purchase excessive. Others—and especially those who are a little germaphobic—will be very happy with this product: mini portable salt and pepper shakers. They’re reusable, easy to clean and small, so they fit easily in your bag. This way, you can always take your own salt and pepper (or other herbs and spices) with you, wherever you go. Do you find it gross when other people have touched everything with their grubby fingers? Then this is totally your thing.
