Quirky Kitchen Gadgets and Gizmos You Need In Your Life ASAP (2024)

The internet has just about every recipe imaginable, but that doesn't mean you always understand the measurements. If you're making a dessert that has flour listed in grams instead of cups, fear no more: This two-in-one measuring cup and scale does all the math for you.

Simply pour in your ingredients, and a small screen on the handle will tell you how much is in the cup. This tool also doubles as a regular measuring cup when you don't need any conversions.

Cutting multiple fruits and veggies can clutter up a cutting board real quick.

This system not only has an opening for you to swipe your freshly chopped ingredients into, but it also has three containers beneath to catch them all. For things like soups and salads, you can keep the ingredients separate until you want to mix them.

For single ingredients, you can use one bin for your cuts and another for scraps, making them easy to toss into the compost or trash.

There’s something about cleaning a microwave that is unbelievably annoying. There are so many nooks and crannies, food gets baked on, and it never seems to stay clean for very long. But don’t despair: This little kitchen gadget works to release all the gunk from your microwave walls and doors with just water and a little bit of vinegar.

Simply fill the “Angry Mama” torso with water and vinegar, then put her head on. Steam will come out of the holes in her head, softening any baked-on food or grease.

Save counter space and stop worrying about soggy dish mats with this over-the-sink drying rack. It's perfect for apartment dwellers with minimal counter space, as it can be rolled up and stowed away when it's not in use.

Strain your pasta with ease with this gadget that clips on to the side of your pot, eliminating the need for those bulky bowl strainers that never fit into the sink or cabinet properly.

Plus, this will keep you from trying to strain all the water out by just holding the lid of the pot slightly ajar, because let's be real: That always ends in chaos and disappointment.

This simple, yet effective garlic rocker is one thing you never know you needed until you try it.

Just press the stainless steel grate onto a peeled clove, rock back and forth till the garlic is completely squeezed through, and scrape off.

It's gentler and less effort to use for those with joint issues, or for those that may find a traditional garlic press a bit too hard to squeeze. Plus, it can be used to crush other things, like nuts, seeds, and spices.
