Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has to say: 

"I recently picked up this macrame basket (in the Cactus shade) and *highly* recommend it if you're looking to add a cozy touch to your kitchen. As someone with a relatively small NYC kitchen, I need every bit of counter space I can get, and this lets me keep produce out without having to take up space with a fruit basket or banana stand. I'm a big fan of utilizing vertical space as storage, and this does just that; plus, it allows for ventilation to help your fruit stay fresh for longer. I'm constantly cooking with onions or grabbing an apple as a mid-day snack, and having them right there at arm's reach is sooo nice. BTW, these come with hooks that screw directly into a cabinet, but if you (like me) want to avoid that damage, I recommend using Command hooks — I'm using four of these small toggle hooks, and they've held up the basket *with* produce in it wonderfully."

Promising review: "This looks great in my kitchen and is exactly what I needed. I like keeping my fruit off the counter, and this is cute and functional. It came with all the hardware needed to install. It does look a bit small when you receive it, but it stretches. I love this!!" —kristinamlindman

Promising review: "This is seriously a genius invention!! It’s perfect for taking salads on the go. It’s leakproof, durable, and works perfectly!! Definitely a must-have for making yummy salads for lunches at work, or even to have during the day on the go." —Sara Hrnjak

Promising review: “This is the sweetest piece that I won't even put away. I filled it with fresh berries on my charcuterie, and it was a huge hit. Washes great and is just a beautiful kitchen piece.” —Judith

Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in two patterns).

Dishwasher-safe, it's made with a soft, oversize handle with a comfy, non-slip grip so it's easy to use and hold.

Promising review: "This peeler makes quick work of almost any peeling job. Carrots, cucumbers, apples, pears, and peaches. Great design and value-priced. This Oxo peeler fits the hand well. It is dishwasher-safe. A stainless-steel blade that stays sharp for a very long time." —r svet

These are reusable, so all you need to do is replace the packet inside the Bluapple every three months!

Promising review: "Yeah, this stuff actually works really well. Drop a Bluapple into your produce bin, and stuff that would sprout new life forms and new civilizations after a few days of being ignored remains crisply inert for at least a week or two. Don't judge me." —Just a guy

Promising review: "I love fresh vegetables but hate having to cook up the whole batch and store. This little microwave steamer worked out even BETTER than I could have imagined! I use it almost every day now. I can break off a few stalks of broccoli, cut up some asparagus and carrots, steam them in the microwave for 3–3.5 minutes, and I have a wonderful serving of mixed fresh veggies anytime I want. I love it! It is small, so if you're feeding a family, look for something bigger along the same lines. It's easy to clean, and it seems sturdy enough for the dishwasher, but I hand-wash it because I had a microwave steamer that got warped after a few runs through the dishwasher. Would definitely buy again." —terifrancis

Promising reviews: "This was actually given to me as a gift, and I loved it so much I bought one as a gift for my mother. I usually used a double boiler when I needed to steam anything, and size was always an issue. I prefer to steam my vegetables, and this not only makes it incredibly easy, but with the two separate containers, I can steam several things at once. It works incredibly fast and efficiently. I would highly recommend for anyone in need of a good steamer." —James F

Promising review: "I bought this for myself and love it. I use a lot of fresh herbs in cooking, and this keeps the herbs fresh for weeks! Just be sure to change the water and trim the ends like you would do for fresh flowers. This was the top choice of herb keeper by America’s Test Kitchen. Comes in a very nice box which is perfect for gift giving." —Jeanne R

Promising review: "I use a lot of curly parsley. A lot. This has saved me a lot of time and gives me a finer cut than I usually bother with. I really appreciate finally having herb scissors." —katiego

I actually very recently bought a snackle box to use as a fruit/veggie snack box for the week. Each week, I'll choose different fruit/veg at the grocery store to put in the box that week, cut it up when I get home, and then I have yummy fruit/veg snacks awaiting me when I'm feeling snacky!

Promising review: "These containers are a game changer! They're the perfect size, large enough to hold plenty of snacks, and incredibly sturdy. I love how easy it is to pack a variety of foods for the day — just prep it in the morning, and I’m set for good snacking all day long. The handle makes it super convenient to take on the go, whether for work, school, or even a party. The versatility is amazing! You can remove all the smaller inside containers to have one large space for bigger items like cupcakes or leftover pizza. It’s the perfect solution for transporting food while keeping things organized. This product has honestly made a lasting positive change in my family's eating habits. It's great for prepping snacks, but also for storing leftovers and taking food to parties. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make smart choices!" —KP

Promising review: "I love this set. I've been trying to eat breakfast more and saw them all over TikTok! These make it so much easier to clean the produce and keep it crisp! Will be getting another set!" —Jane Doe

It's made of durable stainless steel, and has a soft, comfy, non-slip grip. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "Solid construction and easily makes perfect melon balls. I also use it to effortlessly remove seeds from cucumbers." —duane pins

Promising review: “These both are so good. I can put that salad oil on my salad with nothing else, and it is so good. And I love cooking with the cooking oil. You have great products. Thank you so much. I am very pleased, and I will keep ordering from y’all.” —Valerie G.

The blender has three speeds, a pulse option, and single-serve functions. It comes with two 16-ounce cups with to-go lids so you can take your drinks on the go. Plus, it's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "I bought this Ninja system to replace a couple of older appliances, and the power is incredible. It handles frozen fruit for smoothies like it’s nothing, and the food processor attachment has been a lifesaver for quick meal prep. The 'Auto-IQ' programs are actually useful; you just press a button, and it knows exactly how to pulse and blend without you standing there. It’s loud, but that’s because it’s a beast. It’s very easy to clean, and the single-serve cups are perfect for when I’m on my way out the door. If you want one machine that does it all, this is definitely worth the investment." —Alex

Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (also available in bundles with different accessories).

It comes with seven interchangeable blades and four e-books filled with delish recipes; the spiralizer has a lifetime warranty and is easy to take apart for top-rack dishwashing.

Promising review: "You're not going to find a better built, better functioning spiralizer anywhere! I wasn't planning on buying one — I started out just researching. After researching the various models and reading reviews, I thought, 'I gotta get me one of those.' This is probably one of the best purchases I've ever made. My girlfriend just bought one two weeks ago and, after seeing mine, said there's no comparison. She's sending hers back!" —Marie Walker

Food Huggers is a woman-owned small biz that focuses on everyday sustainable solutions to cut down on single-use plastic.

Promising review: "This is a good salad spinner. It's a nice, compact size but still holds a good amount of lettuce. The turner works well and dispels a good amount of water. The design is solid, and it's good quality for the money." —Sharntel

This tool features a handle that's designed to be easy on the wrist, so those with arthritis can use it without worry. It's dishwasher-safe and easy to store.

Promising review: "I love cauliflower, but what a pain it is to cut off the little florets. This actually works, and works well. It doesn't seem very sharp, but it sure preps like it is." —Animal Lover

Promising review: "This rotatable strainer has been my go-to for washing fruit, straining pasta, or just needing a mixing bowl, since the strainer is removable! Extremely easy to use, allowing you to dump the water without spilling what you have in the strainer. You will not regret this purchase!" —Courtney L

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven colors).

It features durable stainless-steel blades to effortlessly strip the kernels and is top-rack dishwasher-safe!
