If pizza is your love language, this little gadget will make you swoon. (Getty Images)
For many of us, the only homemade meals being prepared during the week are the ones that can be thrown together as quickly and easily as possible. Otherwise? That's why we've got the local pizza parlor on speed dial. But speaking of pizza, it's actually a cinch to get a pie on the table without shelling out for delivery — if you've got the Betty Crocker Countertop Pizza Maker, that is. You won't have to wait for your full-size oven to preheat, and even more enticing? It's on sale for just $40 (down from $54) at Amazon.
Let there be light — in your yard! These top-sellers are motion sensored to illuminate your driveway, patio or any outdoor space at night, and because they get their juice from the sun during the day, you won't have to worry about batteries or charging. They also come with a remote and have three brightness modes — plus, they've yet to dip lower than they are now.
Groceries are expensive, and preparing overcooked, inedible food is just money down the drain. Avoid that by taking the temperature of your meats, seafood, baked goods and more — doing so helps ensure everything is perfectly (and safely) cooked. This popular gadget (over 8,000 were purchased this month) provides a reading in seconds, so grab one before your next cookout. It's currently within $3 of its lowest price on record, FYI...
"It’s been a game-changer in my kitchen!" exclaimed a happy home cook. "It’s incredibly easy to use, giving me precise readings in just a few seconds, which has made cooking meat so much less stressful. I love the instant-read feature — no more guessing or cutting into my food to check if it’s done. The display is bright and easy to read, even when I’m grilling outside. I’ve tested it on everything from chicken to steak, and the results have been spot-on every time. Plus, it’s durable and easy to clean, which is always a bonus."
Amazon's No. 1 selling vegetable slicer can help you cut onions without crying, make a salad fast and even grate cheese — get it while it's over 40% off. It comes with four interchangeable blades so you can use it to slice and dice all of your produce, as well as cheese and cooked meats for salads, soups, sandwiches, eggs and more. The attached storage container can hold up to 4 cups and is especially great for small spaces, because you don't have to make room for a cutting board.
"Since buying this chopper, I have chopped all my produce and stored it in small containers in the refrigerator — pounds of onions, peppers, turnips, and carrots," said one meal-prepper. "But beware, when the instructions say not to touch the blades — they are sharp. Trust me, they are sharp!"
Handy humans, this one's for you: With a powerful drill and impact driver in this set, you'll finally be able to cross all those home-improvement tasks off your list. The compact, lightweight design makes them both easy to use, and the best part? No cords!
At nearly 50% off, this is one of the best prices I've seen it on sale for in years.
Pizza night, coming right up! Instead of relying on his local pizza joint to do the heavy lifting, Dad can throw together a few pies and bake 'em right in this top-selling pizza oven. What makes it so special? Well, this one has heat coming from both directions, so the pizza is perfectly crispy on the bottom and the toppings are cooked through. "My regular oven takes 25 minutes for this same pizza, so I figured I'll give this 20 minutes then check on it. That 20 minutes is all that was needed," wrote one pizzaiolo-in-training, adding that "the pizza tastes better than when made in an oven."
We know what you're thinking: "Do I really need a bidet?" And if you're perfectly content shelling out for TP and wiping your bum with a scratchy sheet of paper that does a questionable job at best, the answer is no.
But, in the event that you're ready to improve your backside hygiene game, this easy-install accessory is a total game changer. Not only is it more thorough than wiping, it'll also make you feel like you're getting a spa treatment. At over 70% off, this is as low as it's ever been.
This ergonomically designed pizza cutter can slice through even the crispiest pizzas quickly, fans say.
Sized to fit 12-inch cake pans or pizza pans, these sheets of round parchment make doing dishes a lot less painful.
The best meals are the ones you can make by tossing all of the ingredients into one cooking vessel, then setting and forgetting. That's probably why the Instant Pot has become such a fan favorite — and this model, with its seven functions in one, is so versatile, it just might become your most-used appliance.
Make rice, sear chicken ... or heck, even whip up some yogurt in it. You'll be able to cook enough food to feed six people, so I'll be awaiting my dinner party invitation. Oh, and this discount brings the price down to about as low as it's been since 2022.
If you make pizza often, this handy little kitchen gadget will save you money on your energy bills — no need to turn on the oven! Other pizza makers like this can cost close to $200. Not only that, but this gadget doesn't dip this low very often, making it the ideal time to pick one up. (It's also available in silver and white, though prices vary by color.)
If you don't like having to wait for your oven to preheat to get your pizza cooking, this little guy can help you get dinner on the table pretty darn quickly. Not only is the preheating time short, but the pizza maker can cook your pizza (frozen or fresh!) faster than a conventional oven and won't make your kitchen feel like a sauna during the summer. And it's not limited to cooking pizza. You can make cookies, french fries, onion rings, cinnamon rolls, biscuits — the list goes on and on. It's also slim and compact, so when you're done with dinner, you just tuck it away. If you have a small kitchen, its size makes it more convenient than a toaster oven.
Over 6,000 enthusiastic pizza lovers have given this device a five-star rating, and many say they use it daily.
"Better than putting a pizza in the oven," shared a rave reviewer. "Because your pizza is in direct contact with a heated surface, and because you add a little oil to the surface before you bake the pizza in this cooker, your pizza comes out with a browned crust every time. Make a whole 12-inch pizza, or cut a larger pizza and bake what you need. Either way, it's perfect. And we've used it to create cinnamon rolls and other baked delights. It's a whiz to clean, and you don't heat up your kitchen and waste a bunch of electricity every time you make a pizza. My favorite small appliance (other than the toaster oven/air fryer) for sure."
"Love this machine!" gushed another happy shopper. "It is not just another kitchen gadget to take residency on the kitchen countertop. It has earned its place. It is used at least 3-4 times a week or more. Cooks our pizzas quickly and evenly. We also use it for omelets, pancakes and quesadillas. It is easy to use and keep clean. So, we bought one for our 34-year-old autistic nephew, who uses it daily."
"I read a million reviews before I bought this thing and I’m so glad I finally just ordered it because it's great," wrote a third fan. "This pizza maker is so awesome, I highly recommend it. We’re also truck drivers and have limited space, so the fact that it’s not very big makes it easy to store away when it’s not in use."
Some shoppers say the design could be improved to make it dishwasher-safe.
"It’s fairly easy to clean, although I wish it could be disassembled to throw the large metal pieces in the dishwasher sometimes," wrote one shopper.
A second agreed: "Wish the plates came off for cleaning, but you find a way to get it clean."
Want to round out your pizza-making kit? More than 36,000 Amazon shoppers rave about the Kitchy Pizza Cutter, which is currently 35% off.
And if you want to make clean-up a snap, these top-selling parchment paper circles fit just right in the pizza maker (so you'll have a whole pizza set).
