Your kitchen might be the heart of your home, but let's be honest – sometimes it feels more like the source of all your frustration. Between honey that somehow ends up everywhere except where you aimed it and cabinet doors that look like they've survived several wars, kitchen challenges can turn cooking from therapy into chaos. But plot twist: every annoying kitchen moment that makes you question your life choices actually has a solution.
Imagine slicing strawberries without turning your cutting board into a crime scene, or drizzling honey with the precision of a pastry chef instead of creating a sticky apocalypse. Roll-up drying racks that appear when you need them and vanish when you don't, cabinet restorers that make your tired kitchen look like it got a facelift, and olive oil dispensers that portion control better than your willpower ever could. Each solution tackles those specific kitchen moments that make you want to order takeout and never cook again, transforming daily obstacles into smooth sailing.

Review: "Used it once my other Polish ran out. Very easy to use and makes furniture look great and leaves a fresh smell." - George B. Watterson

Can attest. Used a bottle of this that was 10yrs out of date (office was getting gutted), used it and it still covered all the scratches like in the picture above. My landlady will never see all the scratches my cats have left from jumping up and down on the countertops.

Would recommend!" - Jess

There are a ton of these out there these days. We have one from Zulay which looks similar to that one except the lock k**b is a lever (and the grater pieces are swappable). It is absolutely a cinch to clean. Love it, absolutely worth the $30 or so we spent on it.

I have and love this thing! If I ever have an issue with sticking, I just wet the counter a little bit. The only problem that I have is that is all plastic so I have had to buy more than one because of breakage. 🤷🏻♀️ it’s still worth it. It takes a block of cheese about two minutes to shred if that and cleanups not bad if you do it immediately.

You are right! Good eye! I can tell you though that I have cooked bacon in my microwave many many times. In fact, I prefer it. You just need a plate you can use, one that can get really hot. Lay some thick paper towels down on it, lay your bacon flat on them, and place more paper towels on top. Microwave it until it looks crispy. As it cools, it will crisp more. Perfect bacon! This gadget--it would work, but it needs some kind of cover over it, for the splatter would be hellacious! Along with the cleanup too!

Why wash a simple flat skillet when you can spend time scrubbing the grease from a complex gadget that has to be assembled and disassembled with each use?

Because with the skillet you don't get to thoroughly degrease a microwave too

Exactly, I just pour the warm grease into an empty dog food can, then stick it in the freezer to solidify. Why would I spend money on a product to specifically throw away???

Agreed. I was gifted one and even on the rare occasions it DOES cut the vegetables (after you slam down on the lid with the force of a thousand elephants) there's bits stuck in the blades, the top, EVERYWHERE, and it takes forever to clean up. I've also gotten micro-cuts on my fingertips while attempting to clean off bits of stuck vegetable matter from the blades/grate/insert thingy with the sharp bits. I gave up on using it XD

Review: "Loved this..thickness of grout paint is great for touch-ups. Very durable." - Harleyclassic
LakotaWolf (she/her) 8 months ago
Wait, hold up. So instead of just CLEANING the grout... this product just PAINTS OVER the grout with Wite-Out corrective fluid, basically?! Look, my family has owned a housecleaning service for over 30 years, and I'm the first person who will tell you that properly cleaning grout is a NIGHTMARE (and I HATE doing it), but it's not exactly "difficult", just annoying. Painting over your grout with white paint in a pen is NOT going to fix the issue, as the dirt will just seep through the white paint and/or the white paint will dry and flake off and then you'll have bits of white grout paint all over the floor. Keep those free toothbrushes your dentist gives you when you go in for a cleaning or checkup - that's literally the "tool" that our professional housecleaning company uses to clean grout. XD
Data1001 8 months ago
And those grout pens aren't meant for an *entire* floor. Your knees and back will be in pain if you tried to do more than a few coverups. Which are always messy-looking, btw (yes, I've tried them).

The one I got is silicon coated so it's naturally antimicrobial, can take up to 400F temperatures before melting, and can take 40lbs of weight. $10 off Amazon, felt like an absolute steal. A million times better than the big clunky plastic drying racks that make the place look cluttered. A dream for minimalists.

I have one like this because counter space in my apartment is limited. I usually wash my dishes, pans, & utensils after a meal, so it's perfect for a small amount of stuff to just quickly dry off. Then I roll it up and put it back against the wall so I have full use of the sink most of the time.
