The June Oven Plus costs eight hundred, which is still a lot less than a regular oven, which can get toward two thousand dollars. Of course, the June Oven combines a bunch of appliances in one: a convection oven, a slow cooker, a dehydrator, a toaster, a roaster, a proofer, a pizza oven, a microwave – the list goes on.

Marivac Food Tumbler by Easton Outdoors ($200)

Just a few minutes of tumbling inside the Marivac Food Tumbler provides better marination than sitting in a pan of sauce for two days. It’s an automatic device that spins your food around for a few minutes, so the sauce covers it evenly, but that’s not all.

 


It also has a vacuum that opens the fibers of the food, which allows marination to seep into even the driest cuts of meat. It doesn’t require any hand pumping, which means you can let it work while you’re preparing the rest of dinner. This fancy unit is even dishwasher-safe and comes with a one-year warranty.

RippleMaker by Ripples ($999 plus a $75 a month subscription)

The Bacon Grilling Rack from Cuisinart is a simple folding piece that lets bacon grease drain away, so you can enjoy delicious, healthy(er) bacon without having to worry about the mess. You can even use it in the oven, and it folds up for easy storage. At just fifteen dollars, it’s a bacon lover’s dream.

Frog Can Crusher by Present Company ($15)

Cans can take up a lot of space in the recycling bag, whether it’s cans of soda or beer. If you want a fun way to reduce that space and keep things clean, the Frog Can Crusher is here to help. Most can crushers are about as interesting as a bike pump, which is why Present Company came up with the Frog Can Crusher.

 


Slide the can between the frog’s legs and stomp on his head. It might seem cruel, but it’s never been easier to crush cans down without worrying about an even crush. These little guys go for a mere fifteen dollars on Amazon.

Finger Cheese Shakers by Artist Christine Chin ($Unknown)

Ah yes! Nightmares. That’s what you want at your dinner table. We all like a little bit of shredded Parmesan cheese on our pasta or pizza. But usually, we like containers that don’t look like they’re about to grab back.

 


Thankfully, they aren’t on the market. They were created by artist Christine Chin as part of a larger piece of work called “Sentient Kitchen” which is a term we never ever want to hear again. It isn’t possible for you to buy these items on the market, but don’t worry! They’re coming for you anyway.

SAWNCZ thinks you should make these diamonds to add to your whiskey, but any drink that is too warm could use a little bit of bling. You can even make diamond-shaped popsicles. The tray is safe for the microwave, dishwasher, and over, and can handle temperatures from negative forty all the way up to four-hundred and twenty Fahrenheit.

Snotty Egg Separator by DZ ($13.99)

There’s nothing like a kitchen appliance that has a chance to make you sick to your stomach. If you have trouble separating egg yolks and whites, this Snotty Egg Separator should do the trick. All you have to do is crack an egg into the top of the Separator, and the whites will come pouring out of the jar’s nose.

 


While the ceramic material and oddly-shaped item can’t be washed in the dishwasher, it just takes a little bit of soap and water to get it ready for its next use. If you need a little bit of goofy material in your kitchen, pick up this item.

Hot Dog Steamer by Knox Kitchen ($30)

Hot dogs have plenty of cooking options, and now Knox Kitchen offers the Hot Dog Steamer as yet another choice. Place the dogs into a sealed container, and they’ll get warmed up and cooked with nothing more than steam.

 


There are also spikes that let you warm up hot dog buns so that no part of your meal is cold. While the device seems simple enough, Amazon isn’t convinced it’s worth it, as it only has a three-star average from reviewers. It might be useful but remember: buyer beware.

DaysAgo Digital Tracker by DaysAgo ($8)

HGTV is the home of many odd devices and items to purchase for the home, but the DaysAgo Digital Tracker looks to be plenty useful. Attach the small piece of technology to a container of food – with a suction cup – and start the timer.

Not everybody loves chomping into corn on the cob. For some people, it’s because of dental issues or braces, and others just don’t like the mess. The Corn Stripper from Drizom removes kernels from the cob without destroying them in the process, and without losing them.

 


It also reduces the amount of mess that comes when you strip the kernels off the cob. This item can also be used on items like potatoes, garlic, and even cheese. It was once a messy process, but the Corn Stripper makes it much easier. It comes with a built-in grater and a measuring cup.

They’re made from food-safe materials and are even dishwasher safe, so they don’t come with any extra hassle.

Avocado Savers by Uncommon Goods ($8)

Avocados have taken off in recent years, thanks to their great taste, healthy qualities, and attractive color. The problem is, they go ripe pretty quickly – you have a short window of time, even if you stick them in the fridge.

 


The elements in the air turn this fruit brown in the blink of an eye, which is why Uncommon Goods have come up with the Avocado Savers, a form-fitting silicone cup that is dishwasher safe and covers the open side of the avocado to keep it fresh. There’s space for the pit, and the size can be adjusted to fit any avocado you want.

Warming Butter Spreader by That! Inventions ($30.24)

Butter goes bad. I know we might be getting back to basics here, but stick with us. Butter goes bad unless you put it in the fridge, and the fridge is cold. So, when you take the butter out, it’s still cold. Cold butter is hard to spread. If only there was some sort of warm utensil you could use to heat it up.

 


Well, the Warming Butter Spreader is just that, a serrated knife that warms up when you hold it in your hand. Finally, a knife that is actually like a knife through butter. It works on peanut butter, cream cheese, and other spreads, too.

No matter where you are, you can ask this coffee maker to start or stop brewing and even control the temperature. You can also connect it to your Amazon account to use Dash Replenishment, which automatically re-orders coffee grounds or beans when you start to run out, so you aren’t ever without your pick-me-up.

Inno Cake 3D Cake Shaper by 3D Innotech (Over $1,000)

Discard everything you know about cake. Yes, that’s right. Everything. 3D Innotech is changing what you know about 3D printing cakes, taking them from items that are worth tens of thousands of dollars to those that are only a few thousand. Yeah, it’s still pretty expensive, but much less so, at least.

 


Shai Bar Zev, the founder of Innocake, says that the machine can take anything in a photograph and turn it into a cake, and he even hopes that they’ll make it to shopping malls one day.

Noodle Cooling Fan by Yo Sushi ($99)

There is a unique Japanese art known as “Chindogu” – the art of developing useless gadgets and doing it in an appealing way. Could you use a fan that cools down your noodles as you eat? Yeah. Would it be helpful? A little bit. Is it something you need? No, of course not.

 


The hot feeling of slurping down some steaming noodles isn’t fun for anybody, but just let your food cool for a little bit, and you won’t have an issue. Yo Sushi doesn’t want to wait, which is why they created this item. At least it’s USB-chargeable.

Twirling Spaghetti Fork by Donkey ($30)

Even a veteran of pasta dishes can sometimes have a hard time with the noodles that are part of his or her favorite dish. Kids especially have a hard time keeping everything clean and tidy when it comes to noodles and sauce. This is where the Twirling Spaghetti Fork comes in.

 


This odd kitchen tool has a handle at the top, which means anyone can turn it to spin the fork and roll up a big ball of noodles with less mess and fuss. This idea may seem simple, but it’s complicated enough for Donkey to charge a whopping thirty dollars per fork. Is that really worth it?

Yolk-O-Mizer by New MEtro Design ($13)

Now here’s a strange-looking device. For the baker who is having trouble getting the right color on his or her pies or other pastries, an egg wash isn’t as easy as it sounds. Before you know it, you’ve dirtied two bowls, a pastry brush, and might not even have a usable egg wash after all.

 


The Yolk-O-Mizer cleans this messy process up with the help of an egg separator and pastry brush. The yolk gets sucked up, and the pastry brush starts to apply the egg wash only when you want it to, which means less mess, less cleanup, and a more even coat.

The 3-Minute Smart Oven by Genie Enterprise ($199)

The future of food is here. Thanks to the Genie Smart Oven, you can take the Keurig idea from coffee to an entire meal. This specialized miniature oven uses pods of food and turns them into dishes like garden spring pea soup or penne pasta.

3D Vegan Burger Printer by BBB, Savor Eat (Between $5,000 and $10,000)

Those who enjoy red meat love their burgers, but vegans and vegetarians have been left in the lurch. An Israeli hamburger company called Burgus Burger Bar decided to do something nice, though pricey, and create this 3D Vegan Burger Printer.

Shutterstock


Called “Chef-It,” this vegan burger is assembled from a cartridge of plant-based proteins, cellulose, and flavor components. Yum! Cellulose is the important part here, as it can be manipulated into the textures of beef fat and muscle. We’re hoping to see the Chef-It make an appearance soon, and hopefully, the price will come down a few thousand notches.

Egg Minder by Quirky ($9.99)

Eggs are delicious and nutritious. Take too long in cracking those bad boys open, however, and it’s a whole different story. The worst part is, you won’t actually know until you’ve cracked them into your pan or mixing bowl.

 


The Egg Minder connects to an app on your smartphone and tracks how many eggs you have (up to fourteen) and whether they’re going bad. LED lights indicate old eggs, and you can even activate push notifications to tell you when to buy more eggs. It’s a bit involved as far as kitchen gear, but for those who are sick of finding rotten eggs, it’s bound to be helpful.

Butter Cutter by Inventions for Market ($14)

The perfect butter pat is a pipe dream, many say, but not with the help of the Butter Cutter. Don’t worry about too much or too little anymore — this handy device will punch out a perfectly-proportioned square with just the click of a button.

Cheese Melting Pan by Cuisinart ($9.99)

Cheese tastes good no matter how it’s being offered, with chunks, shredded, melted, or more. The liquid form can be hard to reach, though, but Cuisinart is here to help with their cheese melting pan.

 


All you have to do to get some piping hot melted cheese is fill this easy item up with shredded cheese, cover it up, and place it on the grill. It even comes with a little spatula, so scraping that delicious melt out of the pan and onto whatever you want is simple. With four and a half stars on Amazon, it’s never been easier to make all of your cheese fantasies come true.

Most people think of putting a little rubber chicken into the bottle of their wine and turn their noses up. Fred and Friends aren’t most people, which is why you can now keep your favorite bit of bubbly fresh with this unique item.

 


If you’re after a last-minute present, Secret Santa gift, or White Elephant option, this item might just be the thing. It’s made of food-grade silicone rubber, which means there’s no danger of contamination, and for the wine aficionado with a silly sense of humor, it’s sure to be a hit.

Roll ‘N Pour Drink Cart by Unknown ($Unknown)

For most people, pouring themselves a refreshing drink isn’t all that difficult. But, if you’re trying to avoid spills from kids, or maybe the older friends in your life need a little bit of help, then the Roll ‘N Pour Drink Cart is the right item to get.

 


Place the carton or bottle into the plastic holder and gently tip the cart forward.

All you have to do is put one in each hand, and dinner will soon be ready to eat. They double as great back scratchers, and triple as items for personal defense. Just make sure to wash them between uses – no matter what you’re using them for.

Meat Tenderizer Needle Kitchen Tool by Mierepro ($13.99)
