Kitchen Gizmo Span ‘N Strain Silicone Pasta Strainer Clip-On

Amazon

Transform any pot or saucepan into an easy-to-use strainer in seconds. It features two clips that attach to either a bowl or pot, allowing you to directly drain water without dirtying a whole other colander. This gadget completely eliminates the need to have a colander at all, and as a mom of four with very little storage space, the fact that it is collapsible and folds completely flat is a huge selling point, according to my sister. It fits neatly into a kitchen drawer, cabinet, or lazy Susan, barely taking up any space at all. Made from heat-resistant silicone that can withstand up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and—thankfully!—dishwasher-safe, this gadget will save you time washing dishes, and keep you from dirtying another pan, so that you can quell the family’s hangry comments quicker than before.

Jofuyu Herb Scissors

This scissor with five sharp blades is a mom’s best-kept secret to quickly and effortlessly prep a meal before the kids can even whine, “I’m hungry!” My sister uses it to shred herbs, onions, lettuce, and peppers in record time, as well as salad shears to make a chopped salad at home. No more wasting time using a cutter or, even worse, shredding by hand. These shears work perfectly with basil, parsley, mint, cilantro, and plenty other herbs. Plus, the scissors come with a cleaning brush and protective cover that doubles as a comb. It brushes out any remaining residue from inside the five blades, so it’s clean for the next go round.

Bellemain Set of 3 Spice Grippers

Another thing that wastes too much time in the kitchen? Looking around for what you need because things don’t have a designated home. While you may have a spice rack or otherwise dedicated spice space, these under-$15 grippers securely bond to walls and cabinets to keep your most-used seasonings close by. This mom of four highly recommends adding your spices to these three adhesive grippers in alphabetical order; it’ll save you time mindlessly scanning for “pepper” versus “basil.” The grippers feature adjustable clips that can adjust to fit just about any bottle size or shape, no matter the brand. You’ll love how this shelf-like organizer keeps all of your most sought-after spices easy to access, visible, and close by for quick seasonings and last-minute additions.

Dumealagr Garlic Peeler

You may not be able to guess what this genius gadget is just from looking at it, but my sister says you’re bound to be impressed when you see how quickly it peels off garlic skin. Inside the food-grade silicone tube, interior bumps create friction that gently peels skin off as you roll it. It’s easy enough for kids to do, too, if you feel like enlisting some help in the kitchen. But even if you take on the task yourself, it makes quick, odor-free work of a stinky job that can be a real time suck. Plus, it’s easy to rinse off with soap and water—or you can pop it in the dishwasher, too.
