This pint-size ice cream maker is ideal for quickly and easily making small batches of ice cream or frozen yogurt. It’s user-friendly and intuitive to assemble the cooling bowl, cooling cup and plastic paddle, then mount the motor on top. This maker promises to make 1.6 cups of ice cream in 30 minutes or less; we found that after 30 minutes, the maker yielded a soft, spoonable ice cream with a smooth texture.

Being that the chief complaint against the salad spinner is that it is a uni-tasker, the Joseph Joseph 4-Piece Multi-Prep Salad-Making Set eliminates that concern by offering a salad spinner with many functions. The lid of the spinner can be swapped out with attachments that can slice, grate and spiralize. This multifunctionality allows you to prep an entire salad into one bowl.

This stainless steel spatula with a silicone-coated edge earned our "Best Fish" spatula pick by being the perfect combination of value and versatility. As one of the least expensive options on our list, we were shocked by this spatula's ability to flip delicate fish filets, handle thick burger patties and turn pancakes with ease. We loved the size and shape of this spatula; its compact, yet flexible design made maneuvering underneath and between food in tight spaces a breeze. The silicone edge makes it safe for use in nonstick pans but doesn't impact its ability to get under stuck-on food.

Can openers that rely on batteries offer an interesting compromise between the hands-free operation of electric openers with the limitless use of a plug-in opener. Without needing to be chained to the wall, this opener can go wherever you need it to and will do its job without you being forced to stand there and hold it. This version of Kitchen Mama's battery-powered openers is the only one that has hands-free operation, which we think is one of the best aspects of an electric opener.
