Longzon Knife Sharpener with Cut-Resistant Glove

This multifunctional knife sharpener has everything you need to stay injury-free and maintain control in the kitchen. The tool includes blades for sharpening scissors and repairing, polishing, and sharpening dull knives. While sharpening your own knives can be a relatively daunting task, this sharpener features an ergonomic design that makes it easy to grip and comes with a pair of gloves to protect your hands from accidental cuts.

Nesco Deluxe Food Vacuum Sealer

Our readers loved this food vacuum sealer from Nesco this year, and with its intuitive design and double-heat sealing capabilities, we can understand why. With its ability to keep produce, pre-made meals, and more fresh for up to five times longer than typical plastic wraps or storage containers, this tool can help you cut down on food waste, which is great for the planet and your wallet. The suction power of the vacuum is strong enough to seal and protect moist or even liquid-based foods for weeks at a time.

Grillart Grill Brush and Scraper

Cleaning the grill is always a dreaded chore. But with this grill brush, the typically tedious task is so much more efficient. It features a rust-proof metal frame, tough stainless steel bristles that easily cut through gunk and buildup, and a metal scraper to tackle stubborn residual debris. The brush also features a non-slip, 18-inch handle that lets you clean your grates without burning yourself. The tool allows you to clean up to five times faster, according to the brand, and right now, you can snag yours for 40% off.

Big Red House Heat-Resistant Oven Mitts

This reader-loved set has everything we look for in oven mitts. They’re machine-washable, lined with comfortable cotton and terry cloth, and feature thin strips of silicone that make it easy to grip even the smallest pot handles. They’re also resistant to temperatures up to 480°F, feature loops for easy hanging, and come in six different colors. The royal blue color is currently 40% off.

Nordic Ware Commercial Baker's Half Sheet and Big Sheet

If you keep burning your cookies, your old baking sheet may be to blame. The set includes one half sheet and one big sheet to accommodate dishes of all sizes. The pieces are not only effective in making evenly-baked batches of cookies, but they’re great for everyday sheet pan dinners as well. Snag these reader-approved pieces for 32% off at Amazon.

Ninja Nutri Pro Compact Personal Blender

It’s time to ditch that bulky blender. This personal-sized blender has a 24-ounce capacity, making it great for smoothies, sauces, dips, and more. It’s user-friendly and easy to set up, and with a 1100-watt motor, the small but speedy device easily crushes ice and slices through tough and frozen ingredients. As an added bonus, the blender cups can be transformed into to-go cups with spout lids that are easy to sip from.

Y Yhy 30-Ounce Pasta Bowls, Set of 6

Food & Wine readers love pasta bowls, and it isn’t hard to see why. They’re incredibly versatile, falling somewhere between bowl and plate, meaning you can use them for nearly any meal. This porcelain set from Y Yhy comes with six 20-ounce bowls that are great for so much more than pasta. We love them for salads, chilis, and pretty much anything you’d typically serve on a dinner plate. 

Bodum Chambord French Press

Whether you’re searching for a great gift for your coffee-loving loved one or looking for a new way to enjoy your morning brew, this French press is a worthy buy — especially now that it’s on sale for 49% off. The minimalist design ensures it will  fit in with any kitchen decor, and its user-friendly design makes it a pleasure to use. Plus, it can be used to brew loose leaf teas.

All-Clad Hard Anodized Nonstick Fry Pans

These skillets from coveted cookware brand All-Clad feature a nonstick coating that’s wildly effective and surprisingly durable. The set includes one 8-inch and one 10-inch stainless steel fry pan, both of which are oven safe up to 500°F. Snag both for only $56 today — just $28 apiece, a total steal when it comes to All-Clad.

Stardrops The Pink Stuff Miracle All Purpose Cleaning Paste

The more you cook, the more you have to clean. And while most of us don’t enjoy the task of scrubbing the kitchen counter, tiles, and dishes, the right products can make the task a tad less daunting. This pink paste is the ultimate all-purpose cleaning product. It can be used on nearly every surface and is tough on rust, removes stubborn buildup on pans, and even comes in handy outside the kitchen for cleaning shower tiles, removing scratch marks and ink stains on walls, and more.
