2. Breakfast Sandwich Maker

▶ Buy this breakfast sandwich maker here.

One of my favorite appliances in the kitchen for breakfast is this breakfast sandwich maker. You can make all of the pieces of a perfect breakfast sandwich at one time in this little machine.

Toast the English muffin, fry the egg, and heat the sausage/bacon/ham all at once in the different layers of the machine. It’s ready in 5 minutes.

It’s not only meant for breakfast sandwiches either. You can make pizza muffins, taco cups, molten lava cake and many other creative recipes in this thing.

6. Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps

We’re really trying to use less plastic in the kitchen, but that means our typical plastic baggies have to go.

These reusable beeswax food wraps are very useful for storing little bits of food, like half an onion, or some carrot sticks, or a wedge of cheese. And they are a sustainable, natural food storage alternative. You just wash with cool water and gentle soap, then reuse again and again.

For someone who is environmentally conscientious, these make the perfect Christmas gift.

7. Wine Cooler

Any wine lover will find this iceless wine chiller useful! Whether you’re just outside having a BBQ or you’re at the park doing some day drinking, this chiller comes in handy.

You won’t need any ice to keep your bottle of white wine or bubbles chilled for up to 6 hours with this kitchen gadget.

It comes in a beautifully packaged die-cut presentation box that’s environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.

8. 4 in 1 Electric Milk Frother and Steamer

You can’t make a great latte at home without a milk frother but it’s a pretty big investment to get someone an espresso machine for Christmas. This little milk frother fits easily in anyone’s kitchen and will be a welcomed accessory for a coffee or matcha tea lover.

This milk frother can create warm dense milk foam, warm airy milk foam, cold milk foam, and warm milk, offering you a wide range of options. This frother will give you that perfect finishing touch to your latte, cappuccino, macchiato or hot chocolate. 

9. Ninja Air Fryer

An Air Fryer is incredibly useful for cutting down on time and mess in the kitchen. It cooks just about anything, from spaghetti squash to potato wedges, and even cinnamon rolls.

The Ninja air fryer is a great choice because it’s easy to use and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. It can be used to cook, crisp and dehydrate.

See our guide to using an air fryer for more information.

10. Electric Pasta Maker

11. Electric Pizza Maker

12. Rice Cooker

▶ Shop for a rice cooker here.

Always a super helpful tool in the kitchen is the rice cooker. This is the rice cooker we use. You can cook anywhere from 2 to 6 cups of cooked rice in this little guy. It’s fast, but the best thing is that you don’t have to babysit it, like you do rice on the stovetop, because it turns off when it’s done.

Another feature of this rice cooker is the ability to steam other foods, while the rice is cooking. It will steam meats, fish, vegetables. You can also make soup, chili and other dishes like jambalaya in the pot. It’s not just for making plain white rice.

13. Mason Jar Reusable Lids

▶ Check out these Ball reusable jar 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

▶ Buy a pineapple corer or apple corer here.

There are special corers for both apples and pineapples that will save you a lot of time when cutting up either of these fruits.

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

▶ Buy an Angry Mom Microwave Cleaner here.

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

▶ Buy silicon baking mats here.

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. Food comes right off.Oven-safe up to 480 degrees F

They’re all oven safe up to 480 degrees F and very easy to clean. These fit half-sheet size pans.

17. Herb Stripping Gadget

▶ Buy the herb stripping gadget here.

Instead of standing around picking the sprigs of thyme off each limb, or plucking rosemary leaves off the stem, use this herb stripping gadget to make quick work of it.

This leaf-shaped gadget works well with woody herbs like oregano, rosemary, thyme, tarragon and is perfect for making kale chips and other healthy snacks.

All you do is insert the stem one way through the hole and pull it back out the opposite direction. It will strip the leaves off the stem in one quick motion.

18. Burger Press Hamburger Patty Maker

▶ Buy a hamburger patty maker here.

Making a bunch of burgers for a barbecue or party? Instead of spending all that time pressing out and shaping each patty, you can use this hamburger patty maker to form perfectly sized burgers in a hurry.

There are three pieces to this patty maker: a large patty mold and a small slider mold, plus a piece that makes an indention in a large patty so you can stuff it with cheese.

The press is easy to clean and is made of BPA-free plastic. It’s non-stick so removing the patty once it’s pressed is easy too.

19. Dough Press / Pierogi / Empanada Maker

▶ Buy a dough press / empanada maker here.

I love making pierogis and empanadas at home, but the hassle of having to form each individual one makes me hesitate. You can buy dough rounds for pierogies and empanadas, so you don’t have to make the dough circles yourself – that saves a ton of time – but what really makes quick work of dumplings is a dough press.

With the dough press, the manual work of making empanadas is cut down to preparing the filling. All you have to do is put a piece of dough on the tool, add a scoop of filling, and press it together. You can make dozens in the time it takes to make just a few by hand.

20. Ninja Food Chopper Express

I use this Ninja chopper all the time. It’s great for making any kind of dressing, puree, or salsa. You can also mince, chop, or grind any ingredient. I particularly like that it has four blades, so you can actually fill it. It holds up to 16 ounces.

It’s perfect for garlic, onion, zest, spices, herbs, cheese, bacon crumbles, nut chopping, chocolate, dressings, sauces and spreads.

It has a silicon ring around the bottom to keep it firmly on the counter as you chop, and it’s very easy to clean.

21. Kitchen Knives

This one of my favorite kitchen knife sets J.A. Henckels International. This set contains all the knives you need in a 15-piece assortment: Chef’s knife, pairing knife, and bread knife.

The reason I love this set so much is because they’re full-tang, single-piece precision-stamped blades with good balance and weight in your hand. The blades stay really sharp and are easy to sharpen when they do lose their edge.

Everyone loves a new set of knives!

CONCLUSION

You can’t go wrong gifting one of these time-saving kitchen tools. They’re fun, useful, and practical all at the same time.
