I just add everything to the bottle, shake, and pour into the waffle maker or griddle.

I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more.

This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container.

Best of all, it looks great on the dinner table. Lots of uses which really makes it an asset in the kitchen. It seems that it should last a while so I think it is worth the few bucks spent.

We didn't even have to try it a few times to get it right — first time the eggs came out the most perfect I've ever cooked them and all I did was follow a few basic instruction steps, then walk away and listen for the buzzer. Even the buzzer at the end is more than a sound. .
. it's music that my son and I dance to in the kitchen. I'm in heaven.
All for such a low price. I can die happy now:)" — Amazon Customer Check out our deep dive into the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker here. Get it from Amazon for $19.

While they did what they were supposed to do, they did not have quality that this Mueller one has. I absolutely ADORE that the piece that does the work is all stainless, not cheap plastic. I use mine mostly for doing soups, and it does a wonderful job even on 'tough' kohlrabi.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a GOOD immersion blender!" — Judy D. Get it from Amazon for $34. 97 .

An instant-read digital thermometer , so you'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. You can grill with confidence! Amazon Promising review: " As a working chef for over 30 years, I've gone through dozens of thermometers, and this one stands out. I actually purchased this by accident while buying several thermometers to try with the intent of buying a dozen for my crew.
I was looking for thermometers that can be field-calibrated and as far as I can tell, this one can't. But I intend to buy more of these because they are accurate, easy to read, and just more pleasant to use. They are tough, and I love the ring on the end; I keep this one hanging on a hook near our ranges so I don't have to hunt it down.
It does not ride easily in my chef's coat, but that is due to the longer probe. Which I LOVE. In two weeks I have used this one thermometer over 130 times, all with pleasure.

A sleek utensil you can use as a slotted spoon, spatula, turner, and a slicer and dicer (just use the edge!). Who knew one lil' kitchen tool could be used for so many things. Joseph Joseph Promising review: "Give it a cap and a costume, this is the only thing I need in the kitchen! I am often looking for tools that can replace the 30 others I have collected in my kitchen.
I have used this to flip grilled cheese, stir red beans and rice, strain Brussels sprouts, and taste sauce. I used the flat edge to cut onions that were too large once in the pot and scrape the bottom of the pan. The uni-tool feels nice in my hand, has held up fine in multiple dishwashings, and has allowed me to toss a few kitchen tools that have become obsolete.
