Acookee Silicone Ice Cube Mold for Owala FreeSip

Fellow Owala fans, this one’s for us. Keep your beverages ice cold all day with these ice cube molds that produce hollow cylinders that fit the FreeSip perfectly. These ring-shaped cubes are slow to melt for a long-lasting chill and less dilution, and just three of them will fill up even a 40-ounce water bottle. If you’re devoted to another brand like Yeti or Stanley, no worries—shoppers confirm these ice molds work just as well for any wide-mouth container.

Qcwrjp Funnel Attachment for KitchenAid Stand Mixer

As much as I love my KitchenAid mixer, your kitchen can end up in a cloud of flour if you aren’t careful. This handy funnel doesn’t just rest lightly over the bowl, it locks tight into the mixer’s attachment hub the way a meat grinder or shredder would. From there, the funnel guides both wet and dry ingredients straight into the bowl with no muss and fuss. It’s dishwasher safe and easy to clean, and the space-saving design lets it nest right inside the mixing bowl for easy storage.

Dawnstar Electric Knife Sharpener

Dull knives are your worst enemy in the kitchen, and thanks to clever new knife sharpeners like this electric model from Dawnstar, you can easily add a sharp edge in seconds without diamond stones and honing oil. Manual sharpening takes time and talent, but this foolproof electric sharpener requires just a few swipes for razor sharpness. It’s lightweight and easily stashes in a cabinet or drawer, with a suction base to keep it safely anchored during sharpening. It works on all kinds of blades too, including serrated bread knives, chef’s knives, and cleavers.

Clorisland 7-Cherry Pit Remover

Removing pits from cherries no longer requires a paring knife and a bloody, lab-style dissection that leaves the cherry in tatters. This time-saving kitchen gadget makes the process fast and mess-free. It pits seven cherries at a time with the press of a button, removing only the pits without harming the fruit itself. A splatter guard keeps mess to a minimum, and shoppers call this cherry pitter a total time-saver during jam season, for fall baking, and for keeping vitamin-rich snacks on hand for grandchildren.

GoveeLife Wi-Fi Refrigerator Thermometer

A couple years back, my refrigerator died. But before it finally gave up the ghost, it had begun slowly, quietly losing its cool—a sign I missed until even the ketchup had spoiled. This new-to-Amazon device by the smart home pros at GoveeLife would have alerted me instantly and saved me tons of headache, not to mention the risk of food poisoning. The smart thermometer constantly monitors fridge temperature and pings your phone when the door’s left ajar, the power goes out, or anytime it isn’t cooling properly. Shoppers have called it a “sophisticated multifaceted temp monitoring system” that’s easy to install, takes only minutes to get up and running, and functions reliably without false alarms. 

Flaurix Egg Shell Opener

Even experienced cooks who’ve cracked hundreds of eggs know the pain of fishing out slivers of shell from omelets and batters. This clever device takes that little annoyance out of our lives for good. Just pop in an egg, and close the contraption. When you reopen it, you’ll have two perfectly halved shells that stay in the device, with an intact yolk and pristine white that pours right out—and clean hands to boot. 

Fxoicmi 2-in-1 Watermelon Slicing Tool

This handy fruit slicer is brand new, but more than 2,000 have already been sold in the last month alone. It works much like a cheese wire, cutting Pinterest-perfect cubes and spears of watermelon, with a fork on the opposite end for easy removal of cut fruit from the rind. Beyond watermelon, it can make quick work of other fruits, including cantaloupe and—my favorite—dragon fruit. Shoppers who’ve bought it call it a keeper thanks to its nice, smooth cuts and impressively uniform pieces that turn cutting a whole watermelon from a dreaded chore into a simple, five-minute task.

Hgkfqp Corn Cob Peeler

Cutting corn off the cob just got quicker, tidier, and safer. This just-dropped corn peeler is perfect for prepping fresh corn for sides, salads, and salsas. It features a long, sturdy handle and curved stainless steel blade that’s sharp enough to cut through kernels, but not so sharp it’s a danger to hands and fingers. Reviewers love how quickly and neatly it strips corncobs without making a mess. Its slim design won’t hog too much space in utensil drawers, either, and it’s dishwasher safe for breezy cleanup.

Ice Cream Sandwich Maker Tool

I could make frozen treats on demand with this ice cream sandwich tool. It’s one handed, easy to use, and takes the guesswork out of scoop size. Just press it into your favorite ice cream, gelato, or sorbet, and give it a twist. It cuts a perfect half-cup puck to eject directly onto your favorite cookie. It offers smooth slicing with no sticky cleanup, for picture-perfect ice cream sandwiches every time.

Insefocc Nonstick Silicone Oven Liner

Moments before friends were arriving for dinner a few weeks ago, tendrils of black smoke began wafting up from my stove. The smoke wasn’t coming from the lasagna I was actually baking; it was something else that had dripped to the bottom and finally scorched to a crisp, so I had to chisel it out. That mess is precisely what oven liners are designed to prevent, and this silicone option that’s new to Amazon can be trimmed to fit most any size appliance, whether gas or electric. It’s made of nonstick, food-grade silicone that rinses clean with soap and water, and it can withstand temperatures up to 530 degrees Fahrenheit for many years of protection—from smoky messes and embarrassment.
