This little bloodsucker is 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "It's so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know that this IS dishwasher-safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece, so there are no issues with water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily; it is honestly a game-changer for my cooking game!" —Llamazon Customer

Promising review: “This oven is fantastic! We had the previous version of this oven without the air fryer and loved it for years! We used it for roasting, broiling, and baking. It did everything a full-size oven can do, without heating up the entire kitchen. But I was really interested in the air fryer. It did not disappoint! So far, I've only used it to crisp up a leftover dosa from lunch, but it did the job perfectly in under two minutes! I am looking forward to all the things I will be using it for. I have not made (or reheated) pizza yet, but I'm looking forward to that, too. Great purchase!” —Nikki G

Promising review: “Outstanding performance! I use it every single day, and it continues to impress me like nothing else I’ve used. No matter what I toss in — fruits, veggies, nuts — it blends everything into a silky-smooth consistency. I especially love that I never have to bother with a strainer; the results are flawless every time. And the self-cleaning feature? Total game-changer. It saves me time and effort, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.” —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "Carote makes really great kitchenware. This is the second set of pots/pans I've ordered from them. They're super durable, cook evenly, and give us zero problems. They stack up and save space. I LOVE that they come with protective liners, so they're stored with care. This is just an all-around great cookware set that I can report I have zero faults with. The nonstick ability is 10/10 — I NEVER struggle to get them clean, it's always quick and easy. Carote's products are a most excellent value for the money — they're built to last and look great. The utensils are of high quality as well. Easy to clean, and they won't damage the pans." —Dani True

Perfect for meal prep, leftovers, or taking lunch on the go — definitely worth it!” —Vital

It's a great quality product, and I'll continue to use the KitchenAid brand for years to come." —MrsC

Promising review: “These sheet pans do not warp in the oven, are strong and durable, look like new after using several times, and require almost nothing to clean afterwards. Made granola recently, and the mixture just slid off the sheet pan. I was not sure about buying the set of three because the traditional-size cookie sheet was not included. I do not miss it! I find these sizes much more useful. And the price is unbelievable!! So reasonable!! Could not be more pleased.” —Cards Fan

The included 4-quart air fryer basket and 6-cup TempWare glass containers are microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe, making prep, storage, and cleanup a breeze.

Promising review: "So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy to have them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color, so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" —Small~Town~Girl

I love that it comes with a container for the cheese. The container fits perfectly into the grater for convenient storage. Super happy with my purchase.” —Victoria

Promising review: “I had almost given up on making pasta for myself. Just the time it takes to boil water, and I could have an entire meal prepared. This is awesome, works as advertised — and for more than just spaghetti and angel hair. It's super easy to clean — the top rack on the dishwasher or even just a light hand cleaning is enough. I love it.” —Christopher S. Cornette

Promising review: "This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." —Dawn

Promising review: "Absolutely love this cutting board, and it looks amazing on my counter. The checkered wood design feels premium and adds a stylish pop to my kitchen. It is solid and sturdy and does not slide around thanks to the pads. The juice grooves actually work and keep my counters clean while chopping. I like that it is double-sided, so I can prep food or use it to serve guests. The size is just right and easy to carry with the built-in handles. Great quality and packaging, and it makes a perfect gift for anyone who loves cooking." —JLee

Promising review: “This allows me to do other breakfast jobs so all parts of breakfast are served at the same time and hot. Eggs are so, so easy to peel. Used over the holidays to make deviled eggs. It saved so much time not having to struggle to peel eggs. Shells just fell off. Took it to my sisters over the holidays. Really helped in making breakfast for eight adults and four kids. My sister and sister-in-law each have one for their kitchen.” —Richard

Promising review: “Works like a charm on a lot of different-sized pots. I use it for pasta and to drain a large pot of potatoes to make mashed potatoes on holidays. Use common sense and tilt a little at a time, but steadily. It sure beats using a lid to drain potatoes. I always put it on the top rack of the dishwasher. One of my favorite most-used kitchen utensils.” —J. D. Dallas
