AMAZON KITCHEN GADGETS that are totally worth the hype!!

Everywhere I turn lately, I see viral kitchen products and amazon best-sellers for the kitchen. But, as someone who has lived in many small kitchens, I'm very critical of kitchen products. If it's not realllllly worth it, it's not worth the real estate in my kitchen. The last thing I want is excess products cluttering up my shelves.
But curiosity always gets me on these viral kitchen products from Amazon, so I have been testing some out. And today I'm sharing the ones that REALLY ARE WORTH THE HYPE. 2023 Viral Amazon Kitchen gadgets that I actually use regularly in my kitchen.

I bought the meat chopper at my local Dollar Tree. It does look smaller than the one you bought on Amazon.
You have the best product reviews. I appreciate how you are honest about who would or would not benefit from buying something.

The plunging measuring cup was made by Pampered Chef maybe 20 years ago. That’s definitely not a new reinvention, but still is pretty cool. I always liked it for measuring things like peanut butter.

I have all of the items you featured with the exception of the cord minder. I have the original Pampered Chef’s measuring stick from many years back and I love it. My meat stirrer has 4 straight sides instead of the curved sides like yours. I absolutely love each one of these tools and I often think how much easier the mundane tasks have become. Thanks for sharing!

The meat chopper is great for shredding chicken that’s been in the crockpot.

Adjust a cup I have one from pampered chef love it so much

After watching your video. Here’s my take on raising a family of 6. For the chopper tool, invest in a food processor. It has blades to chop, slices cucumber radishes and potatoes, for things like scalloped potatoes. It can also grate cheese. Has a blade to make or dough in the food processor. It was under $100 at Costco. It’ll last your whole child raising years and then some. The scissors thing, I use kitchen scissors. As for French fry cutter. I have one that cuts one potato at a time is kinda like the apple core cutter in concept. Small for print in my drawer and was under $5. Also, I saw you have a blender and good mixer. I think you are all set for creating lots of meals for your family. Still remember those days with 4 boys 9 and under. Life was busy but we all learned along the way and are still alive. Everyone is now grown and happy. Thanks for the videos and tips. Have a happy life.

I’ve been considering buying the cord savers but after seeing the one you just previewed I’m glad I waited. The plug in is the hardest part of cord management so this is awesome! Thanks for the great reviews!

Thank you for all your tips, Kallie! I appreciate you, which is why I regret to come here and disagree with one of your suggestions.. However, this has been one of the most helpful kitchen hacks for this home cook: I had one of those adjust-a-cups (whatever brand was suggested by Alton Brown), and it was always such a pain to clean. I now use a digital kitchen scale to weigh things out by grams, always placing the tricky to measure ingredient in the mixing bowl first whenever I can for best accuracy. This makes peanut butter, yogurt, sour cream, miso, curry paste, whatever...such a breeze to measure and simplifies clean-up. Yes I am talking about measuring by weight, not volume. I think these may not be the perfect equivalent, but this method has yet to fail me! You have to check the nutrition label and do some math to convert from tablespoons to grams (or whatever) which is good, bc it makes me feel like my years of math class had a practical purpose!

I’m TOTALLY in the same boat as you when it comes to buying products like these. Haha. Thanks for the video! ❤

[cindysmith]

Pampered chef has had a measuring cup very similar to that one, I've had mine for years!! Love it!

[ThankfulNanaDiane]

Several of these products have been available for a long time from Pampered Chef, though maybe not as cheaply as Amazon. Sometimes you get what you pay for as far as quality. 🤷‍♀️ I have the Pampered Chef food chopper. Yes, it works to chop eggs for egg salad. 😊❤️ Also, a super easy way to shred chicken is to throw it in your Kitchen Aide & let it do the work! 😊

Love the measuring cup. My mom had a few when she was teaching me to cook 15/20 years ago

[janinepaul]

I finally remembered to pick up the foam glass cleaner you recommended from the Dollar Tree. It is really great!

[margaretjudice]

Great products you mentioned! I like the small spatula from pampered chef and also the hand chopper they have that I use when I cook ground beef for tacos. I also like the draining spoon for ground beef from pampered chef and the pampered chef indoor/outdoor grill. I use an ozark trail camping stove with the small propane canister a lot too. I cook outside on the patio. The chopping box you mentioned, I have one similar and it's the vidalia onion chopper. It helps cut onions without you tearing up. Thank you for sharing!

[amandafield]

I’m so excited about these products. Especially the tidy wrap🥰 I had similar cord wrapping products, they fall off the appliances

[outofmyelement]

For YEARS, Pampered Chef has had a measuring cup similar to the first one you showed. But I like it even better because the inner plunger is clear and you can measure liquids in the open end and dry ingredients or gloopy stuff in the push-it-out end. It also comes in a 1 cup size and a 2 cup size.

[kassandralevingston]

I also have a couple of these item from Pampered Chef that I use quite often. But the cord organizers sounded so great that I placed an order before the video ended. Thanks for your review of these items. 😊

I just wanted to share, since you mentioned the French fry cutters are big and bulky, my brother got my the Progressive potato cutter and I highly recommend looking it up! It takes up much less space and it's the same concept as the veggie dicer you showed but it cuts whole potatoes into fries super fast! I also use it for dicing other veggies super quickly.

In the mid 1960’s, I found a shortening measuring device at a five and dime store much like your adjust-a-cup and I thought it was genius. I used it to measure #shortening, peanut butter, oatmeal, etc. Mine has 2 parts: the cylinder and the plunger. The markings for the measurements are so faded that I’ve looked for years for a replacement. I’m excited to try one like yours, but I may be keeping my old one for sentimental reasons.

Good Sunday morning But First Coffee. Great video today (as always) - and your recommendations for Amazon products which are actually worth the hype. I just might get one of those cucumber smashers. One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is an old fashioned safety can opener, which doesn't leave sharp edges on the can lid when you open the can and throw it in the trash ( much safer of course).
