Instant Pot
If you haven’t already gotten on the *Instant Pot train, now is the time to do it. With summer here, we are all trying to keep out of a hot kitchen as much as possible. Well, the Instant Pot cooks food quicker and doesn’t heat your room because it’s enclosed. Tired of waiting for beans to soak? How about beans in under an hour?
This is the Instant Pot that I use all the time. I like it because it has a dial and the inner pot comes out easily. The inner pot can go on the stovetop, so you can use it to saute if you wish. Unlike older Instant Pots, when you set this one, you don’t have to remember to do anything to the top except close it. The inner pot also has handles, so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself when removing it.

Rotisserie Air Fryer
I did a lot of research before I decided on this GoWise Rotisserie Air Fryer and chose a rotisserie air fryer over a drawer style for its versatility in evenly cooking kabobs, chickens, and more. Use it in the summer and keep your kitchen cool. It can replace your toaster, your broiler, and oven. You can even bake cookies in it without turning your kitchen into an inferno.
Air Fryer Recipes
Here are some recipes we really like doing in the air fryer. Here’s to keeping your kitchen from turning into an inferno!
Air Fryer Crab Cakes
Air fryer crab cakes make an excellent appetizer or lunch. The air fryer makes them nice and crispy without all the fat from frying.
Chicken Shawarma in the GoWise Rotisserie Air Fryer
This easy-to-prepare Chicken Shawarma done in the air fryer comes out moist and flavorful. Serve it with rice, lavash, and salad.
Easy Zucchini Casserole in the Air Fryer
You can bake this Easy Zucchini Casserole in your air fryer and have it ready in 15 minutes. Use jarred spaghetti sauce or make your own.
Air Fryer Hot Dogs Wrapped in Bacon
Air fryer hot dogs wrapped in bacon are a step above regular hot dogs. Serve them with grilled veggies and your favorite toppings.
Burger Patty Maker
I know smashed burgers are all the rage, but have you had one? Do you really like an unevenly cooked burger with a burned edge? No? Then, take a look at using a *burger patty maker. Simply put the food in the form, press down, and you have a perfectly formed burger – a California Slaw Burger, a turkey burger, or a veggie burger.

Vacuum Sealer
Let’s talk about saving money. Okay, so it’s Amazon Prime, and you know you can get some deals. Here’s the thing: this is going to save you money every day. Have you ever wanted to close a bag of chips or some other plastic bag and can’t find a clip? No worries, a vacuum sealer can reseal most plastic bags. So, you’re not having to find another plastic bag, and your food stays fresh. Less plastic going into a landfill. Want a way to freeze those burgers you just made? You can vacuum seal those, too, and they won’t get freezer burn.
This is a NESCO vacuum sealer. Both America’s Test Kitchen and Food Network picked it as the top food sealer. We did a review of the NESCO starter set. I have had mine for over 8 years and upgraded to this one. That’s longevity! If you are concerned about plastic vacuum-sealable bags, they are washable, reusable, and compostable bags are also available.
Label Your Food
So you sealed a lot of food up and are pretty proud of yourself, right? You start putting things in the freezer and then think about how you are going to know what that frozen chunk is later. Enter the *label maker. You can use your phone to make legible labels and stick them on your frozen food. There will be no more “Guess what we’re having for dinner.” because you don’t know what it is anymore. Of course, these labels are useful for all kinds of things in the kitchen, like labels for spices, labels for jars, etc.
Amazon Prime Day Picks for Organizing
How to Get Your Food in a Bag
This is the tool you didn’t know you needed until you were alone, with no one to help you keep a bag open as you put food into it. These bag holders will work with any kind of bag, plastic, paper, or whatever you have. They have a clip that will hold onto a plastic bag’s lip. For vacuum-sealable bags, simply fold over about an inch and put the fold over the holder. That will keep the top of the bag from getting food on it, making vacuum sealing easier.
We did a review on this product with a video, so see the whole review.
I also use them to hold things I am drying, like plastic bags I have washed and want to reuse. I have one under my sink to dry my gloves after washing dishes.
Cords, Cords, and More Cords
These *power cord organizers are amazing. I bought them to wrangle the cords in my kitchen and found myself using them all over the place. I even have one on the phone charger in my purse. This is the tool for anything with a long cord you need to wrangle.
Speaking of cords, wouldn’t it be nice to charge your phone when you left your charger and cord at home and you are just about out of juice? This is a *solar power bank, meaning you have a charger if you have sun. If you brought your cords, that’s fine because this charger will also work with cords and touch charges.
