Promising review: "This really helps keep the stove clean — I no longer have to clean the stove everyday. The material is thick, and the food slides right off if you wipe it with a towel. Fear not: it's really easy to cut to your stove size. That's what I had to do with mine, and they turned out great." —Pratik Shrestha

She may be angry, but she is not hard to clean! Just pop her in the dishwasher after she helps cleans the microwave.
Promising review: "Great little gadget for cleaning a spattered microwave. Mine was quite nasty but the steam created was enough that I basically didn't have to do any real scrubbing. I recommend getting one to save time cleaning." —Karen H Krumbach

Promising review: "This is the greatest cooking pot I've ever purchased and used. I will be getting rid of my Crockpot! A pork tenderloin with pink Himalayan salt, pepper, onions, garlic, and water cooked in less than 30 minutes and was so tender it could be cut with a fork. The resulting broth made a fantastic onion soup. I also cooked pork ribs in about 25 minutes and they were "fall of the bone tender" and very tasty. Today I made chili with hamburger meat in less than 20 minutes. One of the greatest features is that you sear the meat right in the pan before you pressure cook it. It is entirely automatic and has buttons to push for all different kinds of food like meat, soup, sauté, etc. I LOVE IT! HOW DID I EVER LIVE WITHOUT IT? And clean up is super easy. There is no mess involved!" —Janie

This fun tool is dishwasher safe (all parts!) and comes with two different blade sizes for mess-free veggie chopping!
Promising review: "I’m a big fan of good knives and old-school knife skills, but I love this thing! Mirepoix has never been so easy! For the onions: skin and trim them, slice in half, whack-whack. Carrots: skin/trim the ends, cut in half or 3 pieces depending on length, slice in 3 or four ¼-inch slabs depending on the size, whack-whack-whack. Celery: string it, cut the stalk(s) down to size, whack-whack-whack, DONE! Uniform coarse or fine dice, depending on which blade you use. And no mess! You don't have things spilling all over like when dumping stuff off a cutting board into a bowl. Dishwasher-ready is a huge plus, as well as the ease of getting it ready to put in the dishwasher, i.e., dead-simple to disassemble, not a time-consuming fuss to get the bits out that get stuck in the top part, and they even include a little brush to help with that." —Brenda K Spevack

Promising review: "I recently purchased the Premium 13" Splatter Screen and it has worked great! No oil spitting out of the pan and less of a mess to clean up. The screen's built in notched feet have kept the counters clean. Very happy with the product and price." —Amazon Customer

The little squeegee brush is included! It fits over any kitchen drawer, so you won't take up counter space trying to *neatly* dump your waste.
Promising review: "This is my favorite kitchen gadget so far. Most of our gadgets get thrown into a drawer and forgotten about after a few weeks. I am constantly using this one. Makes cutting and cleaning so much easier. Don't have a trail of garbage from my cutting board to the garbage can any more." —Pete

Promising review: "My wife loves these spoons and I have to admit they are a genius idea. Keep the mess in the pot and makes it so you only have to wash a spoon and not a spoon holder or wherever you set your spoon!" —Matt Strong
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.79 (also available in red).
Promising review: "This is probably on my top 10 lists of items I'm glad I've purchased in my life. Keeps you from having a mess to clean up on the counter or a spoon rest. I just grab it from the drawer next to the stove, clip it on, and when I'm done toss it back in the drawer. " —BeccaLynn1998

Promising review: "We got this pot as a wedding gift and it is hands down my favorite pot. Cleaning a colander is a pain and trying to transfer pasta back into the pot without melting my counter or dripping hot water on my floors is a hassle. This thing is brilliant. Super easy to clean. It must be teflon because nothing sticks. We make gnocchi regularly and I swear I could just rinse this thing with water and it would be clean (I don't... I use soap but just saying). Also, mine is purple and that is so much more fun than my old black pots and pans." —Stephanie Morgan Miller

Promising review: "I've been on the hunt for a set of pots and pans with no chemicals and easy cleanup. I've purchased several singular items (a fry pan here, a quart pot there) wanting to try different brands before sinking my money into the large set. Unfortunately, I haven't been pleased with any of their "non stick" durability over time. I decided to go out on a limb and purchase this set since the price was right and I liked the description of the product. So far I love this set! They are sturdy, aesthetically pleasing and cleanup is super easy. I'm really happy with this purchase and hoping this is the last set I have to buy for a long time." —TukeeTracy

This bad boy is oven- and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "Works pretty well. Fast and easy. Clean up is very easy. I've made eggs, steaks, pork chops, beans, chili, pancakes, tortillas, quesadillas, bacon, and potatoes to name a few. Awesome to cook full meal and only have one pan to wash instead of multiple." —PhotographyIsLife

No knife, no cutting board, just you and your kale stripper!
Promising review: "I seriously hate prepping vegetables. I usually buy the pre-washed and pre-cut kale, but I hate eating raw stems. I resorted to prepping kale by using my hands or a knife, which took forever. This stripper made kale prepping so fast and mess free. You simply take a leaf, put the end of the stem through the hole, and voila no more stem! Where has this been all my kale prepping life? I can't wait to try the stripper on herbs." —CleaningManiac

These stainless steel mixing bowls nest and are dishwasher-safe. They have a silicone non-slip base and handles so you can go as hard as you want mixing that cookie dough! They have a spout for mess-free pouring and marked quart and liter measurements on the side for accurate measuring. The lids are airtight but come with grater attachments that can be popped into them so you can grate cheese or veggies right into the bowls! Last but not least, you can pop out the center out of the bowls, leaving a diameter large enough for mixing beaters. The lid will act as a splatter guard, so you can mix your favorite cake batter *without* getting it all over the kitchen!
Promising review: "I like that these bowls are stackable, which saves so much space in my cabinets. Having lids that are airtight with the ability to take the center out and put in a grater or slicing disk is so smart, because it's less messy. Not to mention the fact that beaters fit through the opening as well, so you're not decorating the kitchen with what you are mixing. Pure genius." —Seger

Included is an 11" whisk that is hand wash only. Note that the whisk cleaner will not fit every whisk, but definitely will fit the whisk it comes with!
Promising review: "I love kitchen gadgets. This is one of my favorites. I love that no batter gets wasted when I’m baking and it makes for easier clean up. Very sturdy gadget. I will say that you do have to line up the whisk parts with the plastic piece just right to get it to work which I find to be a little tricky but to me it’s worth it." —Vee

All parts are dishwasher-safe (on the top rack!).
Promising review: "This is really handy. I'm more willing to make pancakes for my family now knowing that I don't have to dirty several dishes. My pancakes are so much more uniform now too!" —SmurphyKate

Letting your steak rest for about ten minutes after cooking also helps prevent juices from leaking out while cutting, but this will catch any excess (that you could potentially use to make a yummy sauce!) and is still super useful for roasts and other cuts of meat as well.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this cutting board! It works fabulously when carving a roast or any other meat; the angled well is more than sufficient for catching all the drippings. I used to use a wooden carving board but hated trying to clean it afterward. This Joseph Joseph cutting board fits right into the dishwasher so I know it's clean and disinfected." —Dandkj

It can be used as slotted spoon, solid spoon, spatula, turner, and a cutting tool. And it's dishwasher-safe to boot.
Promising review: "I've already used this a few times and this is just really cool. It's nice to have one tool for a few things instead of getting out a bunch of items to make one meal." —Reisima

Promising review: "This boil over safeguard by Jobar is wonderful!! I hate cleaning the stovetop when a boiler boils over, and this silicone lid stops that from happening! It is great to have as it fits all sizes of pots and keeps those boil overs from happening. I recommend them to everyone who cooks!!" —Linda Williams
Get it from Amazon for $15.90.
Promising review: "Handy item to have on hand, especially if you plan to do any batch cooking. I have used it a few times to drain and rinse canned beans already. Better than having to wash a colander, or lose product while using the can lid or fingers, and takes up little space." —Sharon K.

Promising review: "This garlic press is great. It takes all the work out of using fresh garlic. No cleaning, no cutting, no peeling — it does it all. I find myself using garlic in more recipes, and I have quit using the garlic in the jar. Just put the clove in and squeeze. It really is that easy." —ChowHound

This is the BuzzFeed Reviews pick for top-tier kitchen sponge for a reason: it lasts forever (the one in the photos above has been in use for five months!), resists odors, and you just toss it in the dishwasher or the microwave once a week to keep it clean. It's super scrubby, resists stains, and it's definitely better for the earth (and your wallet, in the long run) than throwing out a cheap-o sponge every two weeks.
Promising review: "These sponges are fantastic! They hold the dish washing liquid for a longer period of time (compared to the other sponges on the market today that are netted). They glide across your dishes making it almost effortless to clean. I love that they are dual purpose (scrubbie on one side and sponge on the other). Makes cleaning those stubborn hardened foods much easier to remove (without having to reach for a second scrubbing or scouring pad). I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone looking for a quality product that saves you $$." —ParisBlues

The company says to hand wash these, but reviewers say they also wash them in the top rack of their dishwasher.
Promising review: "I have already purchased another set of these, so that should say how much I like them. I was shocked at the thickness and quality for this price. It makes cleaning up so easy and these are much better than any other mats I have tried. It also makes food healthier because you don't need to spray or grease the pans. Clean up is so much easier and saves your pans because you don't have to scrub them anymore!" —SandyLuvsShopping
