10 brilliant kitchen gadgets from Amazon you’ll want right now
Yes, Amazon also has quite a few strange products in its range. But some items are also incredibly ingenious. These are 10 super-handy Amazon items you’ll want to fill your kitchen cabinets with right now.
Garlic press (€17)
Garlic presses are great (although not everyone in the editorial team is a fan of garlic presses), but not when you have to clean them. All that picking and fiddling, followed by those nasty garlic remnants under your fingernails… This garlic press saves you from all that. It comes with tools that clean the press in one go. For example, you can use a kind of plate with little protrusions to remove all the leftovers from the press holes. See? Your life can be so much easier.
Butter stick (€10.19)
Spreading butter with a knife? So 2022. No, these days we use a butter stick. A kind of enormous lipstick that you use to butter your slice of bread. Or to coat the bottom of your pan with butter. Just cut a piece of butter to size, put it in the stick, and you’re ready to roll.
Ice pop sleeves (€27 for 36)
Remember those ice pops in plastic? They were basically just frozen syrup that you pushed upward through the plastic. Cut off the top and start licking. You can now make those ice pops yourself, using ice pop sleeves. Fill the sleeves with whatever you like and freeze them for a few hours. The best part: the sleeves are reusable. You don’t have to cut off the top; you can simply zip them open and closed. Your new summer toy.
Stainless-steel beer coolers (€17.99 for 2)
Warm beer? Nah. But how do you keep it properly cold once it’s open? With a stainless-steel beer cooler! They look like enormous nails that you stick into your opened beer. This keeps the beer cold for a long time without losing its carbonation. Ideal.
Soap dispenser (€13.99)
Why make things difficult when they can be easy? That’s the idea behind this soap dispenser. Fill the container with soap or dishwashing liquid and put the lid on. Then press the lid down with your sponge, so the perfect amount of soap ends up on your sponge. And start scrubbing!
Mug stacker (€19.99 for 6)
This mug stacker is one of those tools you never thought you needed. But now that you think about it: isn’t your mug cupboard just one big mess too? The mug stacker brings a little order to the chaos. It makes stacking mugs on top of one another super easy. An added bonus: it also creates much more space in your mug cupboard.
Egg holder (€24.99)
This egg holder is a cheerful and efficient addition to your collection of kitchen tools. It’s multifunctional too. You can easily put it in a pan of hot water and use it to boil your eggs. Great, right? Fun detail: when you fill it with white eggs, they look just like real penguins. Very cute.
Silicone burger holders (€8.99 for 4)
These silicone burger holders are everything you’ve ever been missing in your burger-loving life. No more sauce, juices, and other stuff spilling straight from your burger onto your clothes; instead, you get a handy holder that catches everything. They’re expandable too, making them suitable for both your small cheeseburger and your hefty Big Mac. Stock up!
Stretchable silicone lids (€13.99 for 12)
There’s a lid for every container—until you actually need one. Then that perfectly fitting lid is nowhere to be found. This set of stretchable silicone lids puts an end to that problem once and for all. Because they can stretch, they also fit over that pan that’s just a little too small or slightly too large. You get different sizes in one set.
Oven rack protectors (€4.44 for 2)
You enthusiastically take your pizza out of the oven. But for just a moment, you forget that there’s still a red-hot rack inside. Ouch! Burn. Leave that stress behind with these oven protectors. They ensure that you’ll never accidentally touch the scorching-hot end of the rack again. So nice that there are people who think about these things.
