13. Mason Jar Reusable Lids
We use a lot of Mason jars in our kitchen. They’re great for storing leftovers because they take up a lot less space than Tupperware and you can clearly see what’s in them. We also use them to store vegetables like carrot sticks and celery sticks for snacks. We use the smaller jars for sauces and salad dressings that we make in bulk to cut down on prep time.
The problem with Mason jars is the lids. The lids of these jars are made for canning, so they are in two parts, and can get rusty quickly. They can’t be put in the dishwasher. Instead, we use these reusable Mason jar lids. These are airtight, freezer safe, dishwasher safe, and BPA-free. Problem solved.
14. Apple / Pineapple Corers
One of my hesitations with buying pineapples comes from not wanting to spend the time it takes to cut off the rough skin, then cut the core out, and chop into pieces. The pineapple corer is a huge time saver because all you do is push the device into the pineapple and it not only removes the core, it also cuts off the skin. When you remove the device, perfect rings of pineapple come out. Then you can use the cutter to make slices. It’s brilliant.
The apple corer just plugs in and removes the core – super simple. Then all you have to do is cut up the apple and serve. Huge time saver.
15. Microwave Cleaner
This little gadget is the perfect stocking stuffer. And it makes a good conversation piece too. How many people hate cleaning the microwave? It’s the same concept as putting a bowl of water and vinegar in the microwave, only this little device is covered and has holes in the head that allow steam to spray instead of boiling water getting all over the floor of your microwave. It’s a simple way to clean, but also super fun to watch. And it feels cathartic because she looks as angry as I do when I have to clean the microwave.
16. Silicone, Non-Stick, Food Safe Baking Mat
We use these non-stick baking mats a lot in the recipes we make on this site. They’re perfect for keeping food from sticking to the baking sheet and they’re more friendly to the environment than parchment paper or tin foil. You don’t need to use any cooking spray or oil when you use these mats. They make it really easy to just pull the food right off. French fries will stick to the pan without oil, biscuits and cookies adhere to the pan. Not with this mat, though.
