With each passing day, we see more technological advancements that make our lives easier and more efficient. It feels like we find a new product on the market every single week. We are not only talking about robots and space rockets. You might be surprised when you see how much kitchen gadgets have evolved. There are many products out there that might sound strange but are actually quite brilliant. Many of the items on this list are practical and useful, while others are just silly and amusing. The best ones tend to be all of those things at once. You won’t find all of these things at the local Walmart, but some of them are worth seeking out!
Amusing And Amazing: These Kitchen Products Are Taking The World By Storm
PancakeBot
In the past couple of years, the printing world has seen leaps and bounds in terms of advancement. Even though the kitchen is not the first thing you think of when it comes to this, the PancakeBot is here to change that. If you love breakfast food, this one is for you. It allows you to make your own designs that it will then draw on the hotplate. However, we are sad to report that there has been no update on it since 2016. Even so, we would like to stay hopeful. After all, it sounds like the perfect way to start the day! It is made by a company called StoreBound and has an expected price of $299.

Chef’s Thumb
You have to be careful when you chop veggies to avoid slicing your own skin. Sure, it can add some protein to your meal, but at what cost? Chef’s Thumb is here to make the process less painful for all of us. It is a weird-looking gadget that you slip over your thumb. The serrated pad helps keep the veggies in place. It will not only keep you safe from harm, but it prevents the food from rolling away as well. You can get it for $19.95. The set comes with a knife, a titanium peeler, and the thumb. You can find similar gadgets on Amazon, but it is best to get one from the original if you can! We give it a solid thumbs up.
Chef’s Thumb
YolkPig Egg Separator
It is not always easy to separate egg whites from the yolk. Things can get messy really quickly. You can do the shell method or strain it with your fingers, but it will always be sticky and unpleasant. The good news is that the YolkPig Egg Separator by Toy Zany will make the process smoother. The piggy will suck out the yolk and make baking that much easier. You should not be scared of the disproportionate body and gaping mouth! For $13, it will make a lot of difference in the kitchen. This is also a great way to get the kids to help you out in the kitchen. Just make sure that they wash their hands before anything else.
YolkPig Egg Separator
The OliveXpress
No matter where you go, you will always find a lot of olive oil options at the supermarket. Your head might spin when you see how many options there are, from extra virgin to cold pressed. If you hate this part of grocery shopping, you will love the OliveXpress. This machinery lets olive lovers press their own oil at home! The company raised more than $2 million for its production, although it has not hit the market completely just yet. Once it does, you can bring one home for $299. Once you consider how much olive oil costs, you will probably consider it a great investment. We all love handmade stuff, right?
The OliveXpress
Condiment Gun
In the past, you have probably looked at a regular ketchup bottle with disappointment. Is that really all they got? We are glad to report that you do not have to deal with those boring plastic bottles any longer. The Condiment Gun by Kikunum is here to change the game. You can fill it with mayonnaise, mustard, or any other condiment that you need. It is not exactly cheap since one of these babies will cost you $21. However, it is definitely worth it if you want to spice up your kitchen and pantry. You are not going to find them at Kroger, but we promise you that your family will love it at mealtime.
Condiment Gun
Chork
You might have heard of the spork before, but we are not big fans. After all, it tends to be too drainy for soup and not spokey enough for salads. Has anyone introduced you to the chork? This is a better alternative even though it is not quite as famous as its older cousin. It combines a fork and a pair of chopsticks. You can switch it up depending on the dish that you are eating. Now that we know it exists, we can’t help but wonder why this is not included in instant ramen packs at Walmart. Once they start doing that, we are sure that the sales will go up! To be fair, we have to admit that it is not very cheap. After all, it will set you back by $30. We hope that it gains popularity so that the price can go lower.
Chork
Can Grip
If you have anger issues, you might find yourself gripping your can a little too hard at times. Oh well, different strokes for different folks. However, there are also times when we have to put down the can because it is still too cold. On these occasions, the Can Grip by GoPon comes in super handy. The name of the product already explains everything that you need to know about it. The reusable handle clips are great because they will make you think that you are drinking out of a mug. You can get it for $11.24, so it looks like some people really buy these things. It is not for us, but whatever floats your boat!
Can Grip
Finger Forks
“Have you ever wondered how Wolverine eats at a buffet?” is the product description of Finger Forks. This is ideal if you do not want to dirty your hands while you eat canapes. The hunk of metal will fit your index finger snugly. It is easy to use and fairly durable, so it delivers what it promises to do! If you are brave enough, feel free to wear it to a buffet. However, we can’t guarantee that no one will throw you strange looks. Oh well, you are better off using one if you are planning to shake hands with a VIP not long after the meal! This product from Drink Stuff retails for $2.
Finger Forks
CLOSE SHAVE Veggie Peeler
Even though it is boring, there is no way around peeling vegetables. You can do it with a sharp knife, but you might be interested in joining the modern age. A peeler comes in handy, but we especially like the CLOSE SHAVE Veggie Peeler by Fred and Friends. It looks like a regular face razor, so it guarantees the closest possible shave. We are just glad that it comes in green so that we won’t mix it up with our regular ones. This is all yours for the price of $10. It will definitely make for a fun novelty gift!
CLOSE SHAVE Veggie Peeler
Electric Meat Slicer
When you crave sliced meat, you probably go for ham, salami, and the like. However, the Fotile Electric Meat Slicer will satisfy your craving and more! It costs $130 and comes with a 5-star rating. The only thing that you need to do is to put the meat on top, push the button, and let it do its thing. In only a matter of seconds, you will have meat slices ready for your sandwich! Of course, one can argue that this totally unnecessary. You know what? We will just let you be the judge of that. If you have a spare $130 on you, feel free to buy it. Anyone who is willing to do such a thing must be a big fan of sliced meat!
Electric Meat Slicer
EZCracker
It might be easy to crack an egg, but it is annoying when bits of shell get stuck in it. PJT came up with a way to address this problem. For only $15, you can introduce the EZCracker to your kitchen to deal with this issue. Sadly, that might be too much money for it. After all, the reviews were quite low because the users still found pieces of shell in the egg after using it. One of them went as far as to say that it had been “Toying with my emotions.” In the end, you might be better off spending your money on something else.
EZCracker
Finger Covers
We love Cheetos, but the feeling does not extend to the cheesy fingers we get after eating them. No matter how hard you try, the dust will remain on your thumbs for a while. There is no need to worry about that if you have the Finger Covers by Shengo. It costs $10 to protect your fingers from all the cheese flakes. This is a good idea if you are simply snacking before you leave for a meeting. After all, we have no idea how else to explain our orange hands if we did not put these babies on. We promise you it’s worth it.
Finger Covers
Microwave S’more Maker
From Progressive Prep Solutions, we have the Microwave S’more Maker. Doesn’t it look like a small robot banging on bongos? This is a great device that allows you to cook up s’mores in the microwave! You do not need to wait for the next camping trip because it can produce two s’mores in a matter of thirty seconds. You only need to fill the reservoir with water. Simply put them on the tray and heat them up. Since it heats the whole thing in one go, the consistency is perfect. Aside from that, it is also dishwasher-safe so you should not feel bad about using it for all the marshmallow goodness you want.
Microwave S’more Maker
Muffin Top Baking Cups
If you have a little more meat on the bone, you are probably annoyed at your own muffin top. Fred and Friends took it a step further with the introduction of the Muffin Top Baking Cases. Shaped like jeans, life imitates culinary perfection with them. They cost $10 for two pieces, so they are a bit pricier than most cupcake cases out there. However, they deliver laughs that make them worth your hard-earned money. Can you imagine giving a blueberry muffin in these to an unsuspecting recipient? We are sure that they will crack a smile at it, but you should probably mention that you are not implying anything!
Muffin Top Baking Cups
Roll ‘N Pour Drink Cart
In the morning, you just want to pour yourself a glass of orange juice. This task is not easy for the elderly and the disabled. The gadget might not be the most beautiful thing out there, but it comes in very handy. We do not know who came up with it, but we agree that it deserves a spot in our kitchen. You just need to put the bottle or carton into the holder and tip it into the glass. It is still imperative to be careful, but it takes a lot less strength than pouring a huge carton into a small glass. The first few times, you might still spill a little. However, you are bound to get it right once you get the hang of it.
Roll ‘N Pour Drink Cart
Egg Cuber
No matter what is going on in the world, we are always seeking out ways to spice up breakfast. This might involve going rouge and picking chocolate chips over blueberries. Sometimes, it is as simple as turning our eggs square. You can up your egg game by buying an Eddingtons Egg Cuber. You just have to boil an egg as usual before you peel it and pop it into this device. Replace the top and voila! You now have a square egg. It is also ideal to chop the resulting egg into a very symmetrical sandwich. If you are a perfectionist, this is the egg device for you. It won’t cure cancer, but it makes for a pleasant breakfast.
Egg Cuber
Bacon Genie
Unless you are vegan or allergic, you probably adore bacon as much as the next guy. It does not matter if you fry it or grease it since you will have to clean up all the grease afterward. The Bacon Genie is here to solve this problem! The strange device works as a clothesline of sorts for the bacon strips. You just have to drape them over it and put them in the microwave. This way, the grease will go into the small catcher at the bottom. But the best part is that you can simply pop it in the dishwasher. Who said that you have to stress out over cooking bacon? This amazing device by EvriHolder is all yours for only $9.99.
Bacon Genie
Meat Tenderizer Needle Kitchen Tool
Over the years, we have seen meat tenderizers in all shapes and sizes. However, the most common one would be similar to wooden mallets. You can get the job done by using the funny hammers to pound meat, but it is pretty outdated. You should instead use the Meat Tenderizer by Mierepro. It has a couple of needles at the handle base, so you only have to push down to give the meat the consistency you want. This will take longer than the usual method, but we doubt that it is all that bad. Based on Amazon reviews, it is perfectly capable of what it advertises. You can bring one home with you for only $13.99.
Meat Tenderizer Needle Kitchen Tool
Meat Claws
Mind you, grilling meat is no laughing matter. It is especially hard if you are trying to make pulled pork. You might have once wasted hours on end trying to do this with the use of a regular fork. It is a good thing that Mountain Grillers came up with Meat Claws. You can get a pair of these for $15. These plastic shredders will make you feel like Wolverine! All you have to do is grip each one to get the job done. Isn’t it ideal if life was this easy all the time? They are also multi-functional since they will make for good back scratchers too. Just kidding, we don’t really recommend using it for anything other than its original use.
Meat Claws
Rubber Chicken Bottle Stopper
You are going to find bottle stoppers in many different shapes, but the silver one is the most common version of it. Fred and Friends came up with a way to keep your wine fresh without sacrificing fun! The Coq Au Vin Wine Stopper from the company will get the job done while looking just like a chicken. It is made with food-grade silicone rubber, so it makes a great gift for the wine lovers in your life. We are sure that they would love this quirky little gift! It is not expensive at all since it only costs $10. Who knows? The recipient might even give you a laugh and a glass of wine for your efforts.
Rubber Chicken Bottle Stopper
A Cheese Melting Pan
Cheese is amazing no matter what form it takes: solid, spray, liquid. Cuisinart wanted to help us out with the last one. For only $9.99, you can buy the CCMP-203 BBQ Cheese Melt Pan. It is great since you just put it on the grill, add cheese, cover it, and then start the grill. It also has a spatula, which will let you scrape the cheese onto the dish of your choice. This pan is also easy to clean since you only need mild soap to wash it. It is “Amazon’s choice” for a raclette, so you can trust the reviewers on this. There are a lot of cheese-related products on the market, but there is no way you can go wrong with this one.
A Cheese Melting Pan
Hot Dog Holder
The Hot Dog Holder and Slicer was created by the same people behind the Bacon Genie! It looks like a cute dog, but you should not underestimate this Evriholder device. Once you slide the hot dog in, it will serve you the most perfect sliced franks you could ever ask for. It also comes with a water bowl for condiments, which makes it even more special in our books. This is fun and cute, but our favorite thing about it is that it only costs $8. Kids will love it, but so will adults! We are sure that your children will have a blast eating snacks made with this baby. When it comes to kids, we need all the help we can get.
Hot Dog Holder
Butter Cutter
We get it. You have to get just the right amount of butter on your toast since too much or too little is no good. This task is made easier by Inventions for Market, the company that introduced the Butter Cutter. For only $14, this handy tool will cut the bugger for you and punch out a square of dairy right onto the toast. Some would say that there is absolutely no need for this, but reviewers say otherwise. It has four stars on Amazon, so it looks like more people like it than the opposite. Once you get it, you should clean it occasionally so that it would not clog up and ruin your day. This is not exclusively for toast since you can also use it on pork chops, chicken, sauces, and more!
Butter Cutter
Egg Minder
Who doesn’t like eggs? If you also consider yourself an egg lover, you probably hate nothing more than rotten ones. Sadly, it is not easy to figure out if it has gone bad until you crack the shell open. It is a good thing that the Quirky Egg Minder is here to help. The only thing you have to do is to connect to the app through your smartphone. For $9.99, you can use it to track the number of eggs that you have and see if any of them have spoiled. LED lights will show you which ones are older than the rest. On top of that, you can also activate push notifications that will inform you when it is time to buy fresh eggs. This is a little strange, but it does what it promises to do so. We recommend it if you tend to lose track!
Egg Minder
3D Vegan Burger Printer
Burgus Burger Bar is an Israeli hamburger company that threw vegans a lifeline with the creation of the 3D Vegan Burger Printer. This was the result of a collaboration with the product development team of SaverEat. Known as “Chef-It,” you can print a vegan burger from a cartridge that comes with plant-based proteins, flavor components, and cellulose. The last one is the key to it since the fiber is used to mimic the textures of beef. This product has yet to be released, but the pilot form is set to launch in the middle of 2021. BBB wants to introduce it in the restaurant as well! The machine will cost $5,000 to $10,000.
3D Vegan Burger Printer
The 3-Minute Smart Oven
If you want to see the future of the culinary scene, here it is. The 3-Minute Smart Oven is a brilliant invention courtesy of Genie Enterprise. It is just like a Keurig if it could make actual meals. The oven makes use of pods and on-touch activation to make food. Some of the meal pods include Penne Pasta and Garden Spring Pea Soup. The small oven accepts the freeze-dried pods and turns them into delicious meals that happen to be preservative-free and healthy even though they are made with artificial ingredients! This is great if you do not have time to cook. You can replicate the entire cooking process in a matter of 180 seconds. It is all yours for $199, while the meals each cost anywhere from $4 to $7.
3D Vegan Burger Printer
Yolk-O-Mizer
An egg wash can normally give your pies and pastries the perfect shade of golden brown. However, it can get really messy. No one really likes to dirty two bowls when you separate the egg. On top of that, you will also have to clean a pastry brush. New Metro Design knew that we needed help with this, which is why they invented the Yolk-O-Mizer Egg Separator with Pastry Brush. It will suck up the yolk as you go, while the built-in brush will let you apply it to the food. We also love its yellow color! It costs $13.
Yolk-O-Mizer
Twirling Spaghetti Fork
It is not easy to admit this, but even people who love pasta have difficulties twirling pasta on the fork every now and then. This is even more difficult for children. A German company called Donkey created the Rolognese for this very reason. It is a spinning fork with a handle on top that allows children to turn and twirl their pasta with ease. We love how simple yet effective this idea is. There is only one downside that we can see. It is the fact that it costs $30 per piece. If you have little kids, we daresay that it is worth it. After all, it is annoying when you have to pick up pasta from the floor several times during a meal.
Twirling Spaghetti Fork
Noodle Cooling Fan
In Japan, they call the art of useless gadgets “Chindogu.” We can see its appeal. If you have ever seen those baby-mop onesies or upside-down umbrellas, you would know what we mean. You can use the Noodle Cooling Fan by Yo Sushi, but it is not really a matter of life or death. We have all gone through the betrayal of biting into noodles before they have cooled down. This device is going to stop you from burning your tongue! It comes with two propellers that you can stick to your chopsticks so that it would cool the needles. You can charge it with a USB cord. At $99, it is a pricey but fun device.
Noodle Cooling Fan
Innocake 3D Cake Shaper
3D Innotech is an Israeli company that wants to change how we look at cakes. It came up with the Innocake so that you can say goodbye to plain sheet cakes from the grocery store. It is all about making luxury cakes for a lower price with the help of a 3D printer. Even so, it is not exactly a cheap device since it will still cost you more than $1,000. Shai Bar Zev, the founder of the company, once said that he hopes to be able to sell the device in shopping malls in the future. We hope that the product takes off! Aren’t you excited by the prospect of getting it for a cheaper price?
Innocake 3D Cake Shaper
Connected Coffee Maker
You are wrong if you thought that this eight-cup coffee maker is just like the others on the market. Made by Behmor, it is a $277.99 temperature-controlled coffee maker that you can link to Amazon’s Alexa. This means that you can use the Connected Coffee Maker remotely! It also has an app for devices with at least iOS 7 and Android 4. Don’t you like the idea of starting or stopping brewing regardless of your location? On top of that, you can also hook it up with the Dash Replenishment function. This allows you to automatically reorder coffee beans or grounds on a schedule so that you don’t run out!
Connected Coffee Maker
Stuffed Burger Press
We have great news for those of you on a budget. Here is yet another affordable but brilliant kitchen tool! PBKay invented its Stuffed Burger Press because they knew that it would be a lot of fun to stuff your burgers with veggies, cheese, and whatever floats your boat. You can do this for the price of $9.99. The device is also non-stick, which is ideal since it will make the burgers look like they are fresh from a restaurant. The high-quality material of the press makes it easy to use and clean as well. There is no need to handwash it since it will be perfectly fine in your dishwasher. How convenient is that?
Stuffed Burger Press
A Warming Butter Knife
You should always keep your butter inside the fridge, but this is not always convenient when you want to cut or spread it. We are glad That! Inventions come up with an answer to this. They sell the Warming Butter Knife for a little over $30, so you no longer have to pop the butter in the microwave and make a gooey mess of it. It is a serrated knife that heats up when you hold it. It will then transfer your body heat so that it will literally cut through butter like a knife. It is also great for cream cheese and peanut butter.
A Warming Butter Knife
Avocado Savers
We do not think that there is anyone out there who hates avocados. If you do, what is wrong with you? Even though they are healthy and tasty, they tend to go bad in no time at all. You only have a short time to enjoy the savory fruits, and you need to eat it all in one go. Uncommon Goods invented the Avocado Saver for this very reason. It is a form-fitting silicone cup that will allow you to store the other half without turning it all gross. You can push the cup in or out for the best fit. One of these will fit an avocado up to 4.25” by 2.75.” We are glad that it is on the affordable side of things at $8.
Avocado Savers
Lemon Lime Citrus Sprayer
Do you use a lot of lemon and lime juice? If this is the case, you should always have fresh ones on hand. The Foamily Citrus Sprayer can make your dreams come true. Each pack comes in a set of two. One is for a grapefruit or a lemon, while the other one is better for a smaller piece like a tangerine or a lime. The sprayer goes into the fruit, while the straw sucks out the juice. You can just use the pump top when you need fresh juice. The set comes with two pedestal dishes that will let you store it when it is not in use. We are happy to report that it was made of dishwasher safe silicone and plastic! It is all yours for $10.

ChefJet 3D Printer
When 3D printers are brought up, most people will immediately think of artists and engineers. The ChefJet 3D Printer is here to change the game. It is specifically made for cooks who want to push the field to its boundaries. The printers make 3D creations with sugar! You can make any shape and flavor that you want. You can whip up a single design and make it in different flavors like cherry, mint, vanilla, watermelon, and sour apple. There are two versions of the ChefJet. You can choose between the small monochrome model and the full-size professional one. The latter is capable of printing confections that are as big as 14” by 10” by 8.” They are both pricey and will cost you anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000.
ChefJet 3D Printer
Dip Clip Bowl Holder
On Amazon, you are going to find the Dip Clip Bowl Holder by Guyuyii Store for $9.9. It is a plastic holder that has a very high rating on the website. It measures 3.2” by 3.2.” You can attach it to your plate with the use of a small clip that will not damage or scratch your dish! It is also possible to put condiments into the bowl. It is great if you hate it when different food touch each other on the plate. The bowl comes in four colors: red, orange, yellow, and green. In case you were wondering, it is dishwasher-safe!
Dip Clip Bowl Holder
Egg Mold
Even though eggs are versatile and nutritious, they are not the most exciting food items out there. The Fred & Friends Store jazzed things up with the creation of animal-shaped egg molds. You can get one in the form of a robot, frog, cat, and puppy. Interestingly, they are all $10 but the frog one is nearly double that at $19.40. The Funny Side Up Silicone Egg Mold is not just fun but also functional. It has even gotten an “Amazon’s Choice” badge on the website! The only thing that you need to do is apply cooking spray on the pan, add the egg mold, and crack two eggs to get a fried egg that looks like a puppy. Cute!
Egg Mold
Fondoodler Cheese Gun
If you ask us, the human race peaked with the invention of the Fondoodler Cheese Gun. Even though it has an exciting name, it is not a pistol with cheese inside. No, it is more like a hot glue gun with cheese in lieu of glue! The cheese propulsion valve allows you to draw with ease and with cheese. The washable parts of it are removable and dishwasher-safe, so there is no need to worry about it. It takes no more than three minutes to heat up the cheese, so you do not have to wait long before you can doodle to your heart’s desire. You can use any cheese that you want! It is all yours for only $29.99.

Who would have thought that you can remove kernels from a corn cob without destroying or losing them? You do not have to deal with corn juice anymore either if you use the Corn Stripper by Drizom. It is a hand-held object that will finish the task at hand in a jiffy. It also has a built-in measuring cup and grater. You will be impressed by just how easy it is to use. The only thing that you need to do is to put the cob in the stripper and then twist! It works on other food items as well. Why don’t you try it on cheese, garlic, and potatoes to see for yourself?

CinniBird Spice Pen
Fruit Keg Tapper
We love watermelon juice, but the sad thing about that is that watermelons are hard to tap. This is no longer the case with the introduction of the Final Touch Watermelon Keg Tapper by Final Touch. You just have to cut a lid from the top, scoop it up, and put aside the innards. This device has a coring tool that you can use to make the hole, insert the shank, and attach a faucet, That’s it! Simply fill it with your alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage of choice. The company also threw in a recipe to go with the instructions. At the moment, Amazon reviewers think highly of it. The product will cost you $24.99.

Hiku Smart Grocery Lists
According to TechHive, the Hiku Smart Grocery List is the “ultimate tool for creating grocery lists.” This is a good idea if you do not want to forget the things that you need to buy. The $79 device also stops you from buying things that you do not really need. If you ask us, the pandemic has only made this product even more valuable. The puck-shaped fridge magnet has a camera that will allow you to compile grocery lists over time. The only thing you need to do is aim the lens at the bar code of the item that you need and squeeze. It will scan the UPC code and add it to your shopping list on your mobile phone!

DaysAgo Digital Tracker
You might have seen the DaysAgo Digital Tracker on HGTV in the past. You can use it to keep track of how long it has been since you opened an item. This is ideal if you have a big family! The only thing that you need to do is to attach it to an item as soon as you opened it. The suction cup is great for this. Start the timer so that it will keep track of how long it has been since then. It is capable of tracking as many as 99 days, so you have three months at most to finish whatever item you need. This will cost you $8.
DaysAgo Digital Tracker
Hot Dog Steamer
You can cook hot dogs in many different ways. Some like to throw them on the grill and hope for the best. On the other hand, there are people who like them better boiled. Knox Kitchen wanted to switch it up a bit with the introduction of the Hot Dog Steamer. You can put hot dogs in sealed containers while heating up two buns at the same time. This is an unusual device, but it is actually quite clever. Sadly, we are not so sure if it is worth $30. At the moment, the Amazon reviews only have an average of 3 stars.
Hot Dog Steamer
Snotty Egg Separator
Even though the DZ Snotty Egg Separator is gross, we admire how clever it is as well. You can get this for $13.99. It lets you separate the yolk and egg white easily without doing it by hand. You only have to crack an egg into it. The device is shaped like a head, so the process makes it look like a person with a runny nose. In fact, the whites end up coming out of the red nose. It has a high rating on Amazon, so it sounds like it is worth it. However, keep in mind that you will have to wash it by hand when you use it.
Snotty Egg Separator

Animal-Shaped Pancake Maker
Bluetooth Kitchen Probe
There are certain gadgets that are so out there that you have no idea what they will do in the kitchen. This is not applicable to the Bluetooth Kitchen Probe, however. It is handy when you have guests over and have the grill on! You can stick it into the meat to see the temperature via your phone. While you will get the same result with a meat thermometer, it is pretty neat to do it with your own phone. It is a bit pricey at $65. At any rate, we are sure that anyone who loves smart devices will think it is worth it.

Automatic Paper Towel Dispenser
To be honest with you, we have never had any problems with picking up paper towels. But this is not the case for every single one of us. You can opt for the Automatic Paper Towel Dispenser by Towel-Matic if you want! With its sensor, it is capable of dispensing the amount that you need. It is interesting to hear that there are different versions of this from different brands. The average price for this is around $50. In our opinion, you should look for one that offers a paper towel roll as an extra incentive.

Finger Cheese Shakers
Aren’t these cheese shakers disturbing? A lot of people like to add some dairy to their pasty, but it might not be appropriate to pass this around. We are relieved to hear that they are not really on the market. This is the brainchild of an artist by the name of Christine Chin. She explained the item by saying, “These could potentially be found in Hannibal Lecter’s home. The work is titled ‘Sentient Kitchen’ and is a statement on the convergence of technology and biology.” We will have to pass on this one, but we can’t help but admire how brilliant it is as a piece of art! More power to her.

Frog Can Crusher
In the past, you might have hopped around the kitchen as you tried to find space in the recycling since it is filled to the brim with cans. You are not the only person who has been there. This explains the rise of can crushers. The tools will be useful in any household! Even though it is very practical, this is one of the least exciting devices out there. The Present Company changed it up with the introduction of its Frog Can Crusher. This works by putting a can between the legs and stomping on his head. Even though it sounds cruel, it is actually quite funny to watch the process. You can bring one of these with you for $15.

Banana Surprise
We love bananas because they are simple and uncomplicated. They are not super exciting, but they are dependable at the very least. If you want to give your fruit bowl a makeover, this is what you need. Banana Surprise invented this gamechanger with the use of the Yumstation, which holds the fruit in question. You simply have to push the tool through its tip, insert a bottle into it, and squeeze whatever liquid you want into it. Chocolate sounds like an excellent idea! We are sure that your friends will love this if you serve them some of those treats when they next come to visit you. This product goes for $12.

Bacon Grilling Rack
We have already waxed poetic about how much we love bacon earlier on. There is no wrong way to go about it, but you can step up your game by putting it on the grill. Thanks to the Bacon Grilling Rack by Cuisinart, you can do this without greasing up the whole place. You can also fold the unit for easy storage. Mind you, this will work just as well in the oven as it will on the grill! We are sure that there is a good reason reviewers rave about it. For only $15, you can bring home one of these babies.

RoboStir
Even though it is usually fun to cook, there are times when it gets repetitive and boring. After all, it is not very exciting to stir constantly when you are keeping an eye on other things in the oven or on the stove. Luckily, the RoboStir by Red Ferret is here to lend a hand! It will only cost you $11. The waterproof stirrer comes with three legs that will help you out. They are made of silicone, so they are not going to scratch the pan. The amazing tool was designed to cover an average pan. This is not only useful, but it is dishwasher-safe at the same time. Just make sure to have four AA batteries to power it.

RippleMaker
With the RippleMaker, you can make customized drinks with designs on top. The foam is great at personalizing your coffee, milkshake, beer, or cocktail. It also comes with a mobile app that you can use to upload a photo and connect to the RippleMaker printer. The website says that it has a “small countertop footprint” and lets you print it out in a matter of ten seconds. This is a hit among brands such as Spotify, Google, Guinness, Microsoft, Hilton, and the Four Seasons. It is a great device to have during the holiday season. We are sure that no one expects their very own photo on top of their eggnog! As a heads up, it is not cheap at all. It costs $999, and you also have to pay a monthly $75 subscription.

Marivac Food Tumbler
An enthusiastic reviewer said that the MariVac Food Tumbler offers “better margination” in a matter of minutes than two days of “pan-soaking.” This is an automatic tumbler that spins meat for a couple of minutes and marinades in minutes. The product by Easton Outdoors comes with a vacuum that opens food fibers and lets the sauce seep in better. It does not require hand pumping at all since you can leave it to spin as you work on the rest of the meal. This is easy to clean and dishwasher-safe. On top of that, we love the fact that it has a one-year warranty. You have to shell out $200 for this product.

It is ideal if you get tired of waiting for your toast. This is very different from the toaster that has been in use since the 1800s. This will cook the toast in a much shorter span of time. On top of that, it will also lock in flavor and let you choose the exact level of crispiness that you want. The touchscreen toaster does not only work on sliced bread since you can also use it on pastries, muffins, bagels, and waffles. You can get $100 off if you find it on sale!

A vendor once described the Smart Garden 3 as “an innovation in food technology.” The product from Click & Grow allows you to grow herbs without going through the “stress” of “watching, watering, and waiting.” It uses a NASA-inspired technology called “Smart Soil” to optimize growth. The plants will get the right amount of oxygen, nutrients, and water with the help of the built-in sensors. You can expect your herbs to grow quickly and thrive better with the help of this device. On top of that, the Grow Lamp is also great at speeding up the growing process. You can introduce one of these babies to your kitchen for only $126.33.

Smart WiFi Air Fryer
This COSORI product has a high rating on Amazon, so it is worth checking out! The Smart WiFi Air Fryer has a digital touchscreen and 2.72-L capacity. It has eleven presents for air frying, heating, preheating, roasting, “shake and remind,” and more. Isn’t it neat that it works well with Alexa and Google Assistant? We are impressed by the fact that it has over a hundred pre-programmed recipes and the capability to connect to VeSync. Every week, new recipes are added to it. This Air Fryer uses 85 percent less oil, so it is healthier than the typical deep-frying method. You do not have to deal with the same odor as well.

Marinade-Infusing Meat Tenderizer
If you check the Hammacher Schlemmer website, you will see high ratings for the Marinade-Infusing Meat Tenderizer. This lets the food marinade as you tenderize it! This is great if you want to hit two birds with one stone. The device comes with a built-in plunger and three needle-like applicators that will release marinade as you tenderize the meat. It comes with 27 stainless steel blades to sever and soften the connective tissue of the meat. There is enough space in the plunger for three ounces, so you can have enough marinade for two pounds of flank steak. At only $29.95, it sounds like a good deal to us!

Flatev Tortilla Maker
This is a product that got its start on Kickstarter. The campaign made $136,165 with the help of 662 backers! The Flatev Tortilla Maker will make tortillas inside of it without the use of an oven. You can make tasty, fresh tortillas with the push of a button. At the moment, you can only make flour and corn tortillas. The company, however, has promised us that more flavors are due to come out. The process is similar to the Keurig since it involves choosing a dough pod, inserting it into the machine, and pushing the start button. This product came out in the fall of 2019. The retail price of these machines is $437.

This makes it possible to write a note or draw a character on food. It is available in three colors: blue, red, and lime green. They all come with a drip-proof dispenser, so you should not be scared of cleanup duty. We all know that it is not fun to clean up pancake batter.

Ham Dogger
Made by: Kitchen Art
There are two kinds of people out there. Those that prefer hotdogs, and those that prefer hamburgers. Kitchen Art did not like this idea and decided to create something called the Ham Dogger, which goes for $13. It is basically just a sausage shaper that lets you turn hamburger meat into the shape of a sausage! You can probably do it with your own hands, but the result would not be as perfect. The best time to get this would be before the next fourth of July celebration. If you want to show up the Karen in your life, this is the best way to flex on her! It is go big or go home when the grill is out in the summertime.
