Promising review: "10 out of 5 Stars. Status: Legendary! It is a true marvel of science, magically producing perfect frozen yogurt from fruit, yes that's right, magic. It blew my mind how similar it is to real ice cream. If you had placed a bowl in front of me, I dare say I would not recognize its true composition of pure fruit. Magic frozen yogurt which I am now consuming as I transcribe this very review. I can say with confidence, this magic frozen yogurt leaves you feeling healthy, full, and like you've just had a bowl of ice cream. For breakfast.
Which I will admit without shame is my dream breakfast, but a breakfast I have held out on for the sheer sake of dignity, until now my friends. Furthermore, I nominate the creators of this glorious feat of engineering for the Edison Award, or an award of comparable recognition in the categories of invention and nutrition. Bravo! Yonanas inventors, Bravo! You...are...Legends." —Tosh

Promising review: "Pouring a scalding hot pot of pasta into a colander brings back memories of said colander tipping over and pasta spilling all over the sink or the bottom portion of pasta sitting in a shallow pool of water you just poured into the sink. Not to mention the splash back when the water hits the rim or side of the colander just perfectly. This product relieved me of having to worry about those catastrophic events. Just snap onto your pot while still having two hands to control the pour." —John C

Promising review: "I finally decided it was time to give one of these a try. I always keep chopped bell peppers and onions in my freezer to have ready for fajitas, chili, etc. I dreaded the job of chopping everything so much that sometimes I would even have to throw away bell peppers because they went bad before I got to them. So for the loss of all of those peppers, I decided to compensate by getting one of these. What would take quite a while to do in the past now just takes a few minutes. And all of the pieces look so uniform and will cook so much more evenly! I wish I would have done this so long ago!" —Paula Bond

Check out a TikTok of the chili crisp in action.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Britt Ross says about this chili crisp: "Ever since my sister introduced me to this life-changing condiment, I've slathered it on pretty much everything I could think of — from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. It's got a kick, yes, and while I'm a big fan of spicy food, the thing I love most about this chili crisp is that it also has great flavor that doesn't get overpowered by the heat, which happens with so many other spicy sauces. That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner. PS: Some people even swear by it as an ice cream topping!"
Price: $14.99 (available in two sizes and an extra spicy flavor)
Promising review: "OK, when I saw this suggested to me, I thought why would I spend $13 for a butter knife. But I use a LOT of natural crunchy peanut butter and if you do too, you know what a hassle it is to stir is with your standard butter knife and have the oil all over the place. Well, no more. This thing is one of the best purchases I made this year. It's long enough and sturdy enough that stirring natural peanut butter is effortless. Gets to the bottom of the jar without getting anything on your hands. Same goes for mayo, mustard, whatever. Buy it. Just buy it. You won't regret it.!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Trust me when I say I’ve tried plenty of frothers. The other ones I’ve tried were always okay I mean they got the job done but took forever to get thick but never omg out of this world amazing like the Zulay frother!!! It took me literally, like, 5 seconds to get whipped cream and coming from an iced coffee drinker who loves to make her own this is an absolute must-have!! The blending power is out of this world any one who says otherwise prob bought cheap batteries …. Just buy now seriously you won’t be disappointed and no it’s not an ad or no I didn’t get this free and now leaving an review I was just in search of a new frother and compared and reviewed and decided on this one and omg am I being grateful I did!! I can’t wait to try their other products!!!" —Krystal Vasquez

Promising review: "I WISH I COULD BUY THIS BY THE GALLON! Removes grease, and more, from so many things with no scrubbing! If something is stubborn, I just spray this stuff on, let a sit a few minutes, and...gone! My boyfriend had some kitchenware that I thought I might need to replace due to built up grease crevices and on the bottom of the bottoms. Sprayed this on and waited a few minutes. With just a bit of elbow grease, the old buildup came off. NO need to buy new pots! When my mom saw this stuff work, she had me order her some!!!!!" —DoubleL

Promising review: "There are some products that just change your life. The blender is mostly plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap. It is very secure. It locks onto the base with a satisfying click. The lid locks down with a similar click. Unless you have heard both clicks, the blender won't start. And good thing. The blades are very sharp. They are angled to create a vortex that instantly turns any fruits and vegetables inside into viscous liquid. I like that the spout has a lid that locks open so you can pour easily. The blades come out so that they can be cleaned easily, along with the inside of the decanter. This blender has high, medium, and low settings. You can pulse. It is loud, which I take to be a feature and not a drawback. Neither my kids nor I particularly like fruits and vegetables and as a result we don't get nearly enough. And yet I can put in 10 bananas, two cartons of strawberries, two of blueberries, a bag of spinach (yes, spinach!), a cup of plain Greek yogurt, one interrupted conversation ... and: ambrosia! The decanter is huge, and yet between the three of us we can and do empty it in one meal. Yay!" —The Wheels Go Round

Now, I want all the colors. Love this, very happy with my purchase!! 10/10 recommend. 🦀🦀🦀" —ThinkPink

Promising review: "I can’t taste anything other than the wine! Drank two full glasses of cheap red wine, when HALF A GLASS should have had me incapacitated by a migraine... and nothing, no headache twitches, nothing! I even waited overnight to see how my head would be in the morning... it’s perfect! I know there are sulfite-free wines out there (I’ve bought them, and they aren’t cheap), but they tend to be high falutin fussy affairs, and not always great tasting. My $6 Wegmans Red Check wine was FABULOUS and should have made me sick as a dog, hiding in a dark room and everything. Do you know how happy I am? Best. Product. Ever. (Doing the happy dance.)" —H.

I love my Instant Pot all year long and use it at least once a week. During colder months, I tend to make a new soup, chili, or stew every week, and in warmer months, I use it for roasting veggies, baking potatoes, cooking rice, and more! It's such an easy and quick way to meal prep for the week, or portion and freeze for easy weeknight meals, which is ~super clutch~ when you're a busy gal like me.
Promising review: "This product is my best friend and I would marry it and grow old with it if I could. I’ve put pork loins, potatoes, yellow bundt cakes, rice, corn on the cob (look up INSTANT POT MILK CORN ON COB and you will never eat it any other way again!). I’ve made pierogies, lasagna, apple dump cake, a whole chicken, bone broth, chicken noodle soup... and more. This is all in less than a month. I’m eating healthier. Eating out less. Cleanup is easy. The food tastes awesome. The pork loin never dried out after it sat on the serving tray." —sugabuga

Promising review: "I had gone through two other coffee warmers in a month before I bought this one. I decided to splurge on this more expensive one, and BEST DECISION EVER! Not only does it keep your coffee warm, it keeps it HOT on the highest setting. Sure the beeping is a bit annoying, but it does an excellent job at keeping your coffee hot for as long as you want, PLUS it is super easy to turn on and off, and when you do turn it off it displays the lowest heat setting light to show you the plate is still hot, so no unsuspecting burns. If you like warm/hot coffee, in my opinion this is hands-down the best option on the market. It even heats up coffee from being room temp if put on high and left for about an hour. Loving it." —Elizabeth Harris

Promising review: "I’ve used this product for many years (at least 15 years and I honestly think it’s been more years than that). I get perfect eggs every time. It’s so easy to use! I add it in to the cold water at the same time that I put my eggs to boil and the red part starts turning a dark color from the outside in as the timing correlates to whether your eggs have cooked long enough to be soft, medium or hard. I wash this easily with a soapy sponge (never used in a dishwasher). Two friends were recently fascinated by this so I just got them these as little gifts. I was sure to get them this exact brand as it’s what I’ve always used. I have never had to replace it and it has consistently gotten a lot of use over the years." —Mezzanine Daze

Promising review: "I HAD to have these for my white kitchen!! I love the brand so I knew the knives would be good but I didn’t know they would be THIS good!! My picky husband was surprised!! He gave up his expensive German knive to use one of the steak knives!! I had to get used to the weight of the chef knife but it didn’t take long !!! My cuts have been better, more accurate and my diced smaller!!! I tried to make them smaller! I love these knives!!!" —Christine S.

Each trap lasts up to 45 days. Just place the traps where you've spotted fruit flies before and empty half of the lure bottle into the trap.
Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil bastards took over our house. These apple traps are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos

Promising review: "I love awesome little items like the Bluapple that serve a useful purpose and make life a little easier. I put a Bluapple in each of my bottom fridge drawers where I keep my fruits and veggies and I have definitely noticed a difference. My fruits and veggies remain fresh and last longer before going bad. This saves me money and although I compost any fruits or veggies that go bad, I prefer not to have perfectly good fruit go bad before we had a chance to eat it. I am going to buy more to place throughout the fridge since we are buying and eating more fruits and veggies this summer. I also appreciate how the contents inside can be fed to a houseplant as fertilizer every three months when adding a fresh refill." —Mariposa

This much-loved product can make one to four servings of pasta, individual servings of rice, lasagna noodles, and gluten-free pasta. The lid doubles as a sieve and helps you drain the pasta once you're all done, mere minutes later. I myself am a lover of this product!
Promising review: “I love my Fasta pasta so much that I bought a bunch more to gift to family and friends. Making pasta meals with this microwave product is a breeze…much easier and more convenient that the traditional way of cooking spaghetti, penne, macaroni, etc. and the pasta is perfect every time!” —Laura Burnham

Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business established in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no ice maker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." —Karingen

Promising review: "This is awesome and makes slicing a watermelon so easy! I’m sure the more I use it the better and easier I will get, but it was already simple to begin with. I recommend cutting both ends as it makes it very simple and go quickly. Also, the little scoop is fun to use on the end pieces to make little cute balls." —Noel Johnson

Promising review: "Try these liners once and you will never use your crock pot without them again Pop one of these liners in and once your meal is ready you can easily lift the liner out and the mess goes with it. No more soaking and scrubbing. Just rinse it out with soapy water. I find these especially useful if I’m cooking up big batches and freezing part of the batch. I can pour right out of the liner into a ziplock bag. No messy ladling necessary." —landr007
