🌹 Prairie Woman sings the praises of this nifty tool, "Before I bought this cheese paper I would do the cheese search in the refrigerator. After buying cheeses, opening them, and then re-wrapping them in heaven knows what (namely plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic containers), it was always the same result: moldy cheese. This box contains the paper in sheets plus some stickers that you can write on with the name of the cheese and the date it was wrapped or even sell by date. There are also pictures of a sheep, cow, and goat so the source can be identified by circling or checking one of them! What I also like is that the cheeses can be re-wrapped after use and amazingly the stickers still stick! The paper can also be cut to size to wrap smaller cheeses. So far I have noted that the cheeses have stayed fresh with not a trace of mold. I highly recommend this product to all cheese lovers!"

🥖 Roll out your dough effortlessly with this clever rolling pin! Its adjustable design guarantees perfect, consistent thickness every time. You won't believe how simple it is!
🔴 An L.A. Foodie can't get enough of this tool, "Can I just say where have you been all my life? I ordered this specifically so I could use to make sugar cookies. It made my cookies go so much faster for a change! I used to get out a ruler trying to figure out if I had the right thickness or if the dough was rolled even enough (which I never did get right in the past). This roller allowed me to quickly and easily roll the whole batch of sugar cookies without getting frustrated! Super easy to use and clean up was also a snap. Would recommend this to any baker out there!"

🔴 kapplejack enjoys these colorful cupcake heroes, "These little thingies are perfect! I made some muffins with them and they came out incredibly easily with no residue on the cups at all. I didn't have to use grease or anything. The colors are bright and fun, and they you plenty of each color. These are slightly smaller than a regular cupcake pan/liner, which is actually perfect for my purposes. As others have mentioned, the cups are a bit on the flimsy side, so make sure they're on a baking sheet before you fill them because they can be difficult to transport once full."

💰 Snag It from Amazon for $12.95 (Available in three colors and two styles)
🌟Number Fourteen: The Proud Spoon Stand 🤤
⚡ Getting both your stirring spoon and the lid of your pot upright and nearby is now an easy task! No more mess on your counter by simply laying them down - this handy stand will keep them safely secure.
🔴 Susan loves this clever kitchen companion, "I personally always hate it when you pull off the lid of something and the lid is leaking water everywhere while being super hot. With my new solid-surface counters, I definitely don't want to set the lid on there and ruin them and putting it on the stove is either annoying due to the water mess or impossible if you are using the whole stove. This was made for the fussy new-home person like me. I can now set the lid down down safely and not worry about where all that hot water is going."

This attaches very easily to any pot via the clips, although it does require some effort to properly lodge into place. It functions as advertised with no issues. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to purchase and I will buy another one as needed for my kitchen."

🔴 Addie swears by this handy device, "I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet, I put mine so the wide opening faces forward."
💰 Seize It with Amazon for $14.99

🧄 Rock your way to the best garlic mincing ever! This one-piece solution is way easier than a traditional garlic press.

This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle, it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH very cute) scraper and a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant. So fast and easy, I consider this a go-to kitchen gadget."

The thing that sold me was when I read a review on here that stated that they were able to use it for the gap between the stove and fridge. I have the same setup in my apartment. Countertop on one side of the stove and fridge on the other. The silicone sticks very well to the fridge, stove, and counter. It doesn't move around very easily, which is a good thing. Just make sure you place it with the wider side of the strip towards the counter as shown in the picture."

They are the perfect size for storing leftovers that I can either take for lunch the next day or warm up and split between me and my husband.

My freezer is so much more organized now. **Gone are the days of having to defrost an entire bag of chicken broth for one cup for a recipe. I now have perfectly portioned half-cup and one-cup blocks ready to go. They fit easily in freezer bags, take up less space, and make me incredibly happy. There was a lot of attention to detail put into the design and I particularly appreciate the wire inside the rim that holds everything steady - no more worrying about spilling all the liquid on the way to the freezer. Just a fantastic product all around. I purchased this and a cheaper version from another manufacturer at the same time, but returned the other product. This one is definitely worth the added cost."

🔴 CH is a fan, "I use a shameful amount of paper towels and these make feel so much less wasteful! I mostly use them to cover my cat's food while I microwave it since I don't want it splattering all over the microwave. These work great. So far I have used them for three months and only needed to add a bit of detergent twice to keep them fresh smelling. A little tidbit that they can be washed on cold too! I also like the way they are packaged - it's great to not worry about them getting crushed before washing. I've already purchased a second pack and can't wait to get more!"

🔴 A. M. Hinshaw can't get enough of this magical gadget, "I bought this egg cooker for the first time a year and a half ago, and it is awesome. I hate having a single-purpose appliance in my kitchen, but this is worth it. Making hard-boiled eggs was always hit or miss for me, even if it was timed perfectly. (I admit I forgot about the eggs more than once!) This cooker makes PERFECT eggs every single time, to the exact hardness I desire with no green ring on the yolk. Even better, the shell slides off without taking half the egg white with it! My favorite use is to pop some eggs in when I get home and prep a salad. By the time the salad is ready, the eggs are done. I can even leave the kitchen and still hear when they are done because of the buzzer. I've purchased five more of them for family for Christmas this year and can't wait to get everyone on board the Dash Go Egg Cooker train!"

If you love cakes, do not hesitate to get this tool! It's all I ever wanted and more! Just remember - don't forget that release button when you're done."

🔴 Michelle can't get enough of her rice cooker, "I love this product. I've made so many different rices in it. The only thing I suggest is when making rice that might end up sitting in the pot for a while, put some olive oil on the bottom as the rice tends to stick if it's sitting on the 'warm' setting for too long, or add some extra water.
