A Team of Lid Lifters
Will a watched pot boil if you’ve got these colorful lid lifters ($9) helping you watch it? We’re guessing yes, and this heat-resistant team of six will help keep it from boiling over. They’re perfect when you need to keep a lid on things while whipping up a tasty pasta dinner. Plus, check out these products we love from Shark Tank.
Egg Separator
This funny BPA-free fish ($7) definitely gets the yolk away from the white. Just place it over the yolk of a cracked egg and give a little squeeze to swallow it up. Use the whites to make everything from angel food cake to meringue.
Spoon Saver
“Hug Doug” ($7) will hold on to your spoon for dear life so you won’t lose it in a delicious pot of homemade soup. His adjustable, grippy silicone arms will wrap around a range of utensils to keep them from sinking—and keep spoon splatters off your counter.
Microwave Steam Cleaner
You’ll lava your squeaky-clean microwave with this handy volcano-shaped steam cleaner ($12). Just add water and vinegar, and run the microwave for 5-8 minutes. If you haven’t seen our 30 favorite as-seen-on-TV products yet, check ’em out.
Marshmallow Roasting Sticks
This 6-pack of color-coded telescoping marshmallow roasting sticks ($13) will keep you on top of your s’more game without being on top of the bonfire. Use them to put together these decadent caramel s’mores and make your family happy campers.
Smiling Scrubbers
These scrubbers are more than just cheerful. Scrub Daddy sponges ($20 for 6) change texture depending on water temperature. Soak them in warm water for gentle cleansing and cool water for serious scrubbing—like for last night’s empty pan of lasagna after your family makes it disappear. Pair it with the Scrub Daddy Power Paste to make deep cleaning chores easier than ever.
Meatball Shaper
Making uniform meatballs is a breeze with this colorful meatball shaper ($25). Your meatballs will store neatly and cook evenly. (Not in the meatball mood? You can use the shaper for cookie dough, too!)
Oven Pull
Despite his terrified expression, this heat-resistant oven rack grabber ($7) will be there every time you reach for a hot baking sheet. He’ll protect you from a potentially nasty burn. What a guy!
Beverage Buccaneer
This bottle opener ($11) is designed to look like a peg-legged pirate armed with a corkscrew, plus an easy-open lever, foil cutter and beer bottle opener.
Oven Mitt Paws
These brown bear insulated oven mitts ($24) are perfect when there’s something hot and savory in the oven that you need two hands to handle—like a hearty sheet pan supper. Feeling chill? They also come in polar bear.
Dino Tea Steeper
A comforting cup of tea will never be extinct, and this set of dinosaur loose leaf tea infusers ($13) will add some flair when you’re brewing your favorite tea. Note: these green and turquoise herbivores work best with medium or large leaf tea.
Watermelon Decorator Set
This watermelon slicer and server ($55) is a bit of a splurge, but fruit-tastic creations like this Watermelon Shark will be the stars of every picnic. The set includes a melon baller and cookie cutter set that can be used with apples, potatoes, cheese and, of course, cookies.
