Promising review: "This thing is NO JOKE the easiest thing I've ever used in my life. Pretty sure it's idiot proof. And I'm an idiot in the kitchen. I love hard-boiled eggs, but I'm the kind of cooking-illiterate person who can't even boil water right. So I bought this puppy, read the directions carefully, got 6 eggs, and in 15 min, the buzzer went off and VOILA! Hard boiled eggs! I put them all in a bowl of ice water right after the buzzer went off, just for a minute or two (That was a tip in the instructions). That really made the shells come off easily. In one piece even! It was a joy to make these! They were perfectly cooked, nice and yellow in the centers, tasted awesome. I'm gonna make a bunch more and use them as quick snacks. This appliance is so great and cheap! I couldn't believe how well it worked. It's really small and all the pieces are plastic or metal, but it works like a charm, so who cares! A+++++ Highly recommended." —Emily

Promising review: "The funny looking thing works like a charm. Our local stores have specials on frozen pizzas almost every week. Sometimes $3 each sometimes 2 for $10. They may not be the healthiest meal but they ain't bad. This oven (not sure why they called it an oven) does a wonderful job of cooking them, a pleasure for anyone wanting a quick easy meal. One other nice thing about this item is that when you take the pizza tray off the base doesn't take up all that much room and the tray is thin and can fit most anywhere. The only kind of heads up I would give is that you should be careful about letting cheese fall off the pizza onto the tray. Once the stuff gets baked on it doesn't want to come off." —Jaded

Promising review: "I was tired of putting leftover uncooked bacon back into that slimy package. Now I just take out all of the bacon, and whatever I don’t use, I place it right into the Keeper. I was surprised to see how fresh the bacon kept. After over two weeks, it was still soft and light pink in color. Not brown and hard like it usually gets after a few days." —Lucy

Promising review: "There are so many people who say the can't cook, but I swear I'm on a whole new level of not being able to cook. This little appliance helps expand our menu and I Have learned to do so much with it. I will sum up in a nutshell, I love how easy it is and how I throw everything in it comes out done. No stirring and not many messy dishes. I still don't love it for meats (which I don't eat much of anyway), but I think that's just a matter of needing to experiment more with them. I seriously can't believe how many foods can be cooked in here!" —Aundrea

Promising review: "I've made several egg white/egg substitute omelets, bulking it up with veggies. It worked perfectly! The entire piece is plastic.

Ok, so even if you're not into zoodles, a spiralizer is an ~exciting~ way to add veggies into meals without the hardship of chopping. And one with a crank like this is easier to use than a pared-down version (trust me, I know). BTW, the pieces are made of BPA-free plastic and stainless-steel blades.

Promising review: "I am a raw vegan and shredding zucchini has been such a pain. It eats up all my time and i often cut my fingers. However, with this I can be done and sitting down to eat a yummy dinner in less than 20 minutes, including wash time! I was surprised by how smooth and easy to operate it was. I was scared that i would constantly have to realign the zucchini, but u never have to. I was most surprised by the suction cups. I didn't think they would do much but wow they work perfectly. Don't hold down on the spiralizer with the hand that is not turning the crank. You do not need to. The suction cups hold it in place flawlessly. To release the suction cups, just kinda lift up a little corner of the cup and it will come off easy peasy." —EB

Promising review: "I bought this panini maker to start experimenting with various types of sandwiches. I later upgraded to a more expensive model, but I find myself going back to this one. I think this is all you need when it comes to making personal sandwiches, burgers, steaks, etc... the temperature control is automatic and perfect for toasting bread and cooking meat. Clean up is easy with some wet towels and soapy water." —Jake

These bags can be washed in warm, soapy water or the dishwasher up to 100x! And reviewers note that they're also super helpful for folks with Celiac diseas.

Promising review: "Perfect for making grilled cheese and Reubens. You don't have to flip and keep a constant eye on the toasting like you do in the oven or on one of the portable grills. I'm not sure how long they will last but we've made about a dozen sandwiches with one bag and it's still going strong." —Starstruck

Promising review: "Strange that I would rate a can opener, but this is a really awesome can opener! I have yet to see it slip, not open, not penetrate the can, or anything. I open two cans a day for my dogs and this guy just chews through them. Nice thing is the quick release button so you don't have 'dog food hands' after you are done!" —Mack-SS-Seattle

Has an easy-pour spill-proof spout, adjustable heat settings from low to high and boils water quickly and safely. Easy-clean interior and removable dishwasher-safe lid.

Promising review: "Heats water faster than I can load my morning coffee cup with coffee and sweetener! Up until I got my Elite, water for coffee would take three minutes in the microwave. And I love how fast it treats me to hard-boiled eggs which, because of the raised egg tray insert, means the eggs are raised and get good circulation of water around them. Maybe that's why they seem to be easier to peel than the old way? The shell comes off in larger pieces which is a nice plus." —juniemoon

Promising review: "It works. Simple as that. I have even ordered more because it works wonders in my vegetable drawer and also in my fruit basket. Before it seemed things would go bad so fast (3–4 days). Now I can see veggies last two weeks and some fruits a week longer than expected." —MFC

Promising review: "Now this is something you can't live without. It makes cooking Ramen so fast and effortless. They also have a mac and cheese cooker now that I also will get. It cooks very fast, and is just as good as when you make it on the stove there is no taste difference. If you like ramen, this will change your life. Perfect for those in college!!!!" —Blaine

Promising review: "I normally would not have given this item a second look, as I recall earlier pasta cookers for the microwave not doing such a good job. But I saw the Fasta Pasta Microwave Pasta Cooker recommended on America's Test Kitchen on PBS, so decided to give it a try. In less time than it would take to boil a pot of water, I had perfectly cooked pasta from the microwave. This cut down on heat and humidity, and had it done in half the time. Measure out the pasta with the included measurer, add water to the line, and run the microwave for the allotted time.12 minutes for thin spaghetti was all it took, and it was the perfect doneness. It has its own strainer, so easy to pour and dish up from the Cooker." —GEL

Promising review: "It is way more versatile than just quesadillas. I also use it to create pocket snacks for breakfast with my coffee. One recipe is to put a 1/4-inch slice of cream cheese in each pocket area. Thinly slice an apple and distribute over the cream cheese. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cook. I try to eat low sugar, but you might want to sprinkle some brown sugar, too.” —V. Brown
