There are a lot of fun innovations for home chefs, especially around food waste, as well as wasting time.
At BestReviews, we are always on the hunt for gadgets that will help make life easier, cleaner and less wasteful. We have put together our favorite collection that will make your experience around the kitchen a little more epic.
Here’s this week’s collection of products that will help you save time and money (by not wasting your food):
My daughter loves to eat beans for dinner. The problem is, at two years old, she’s never going to finish an entire can of beans in a sitting, and she doesn’t like to eat the same thing two days in a row. We would hate to waste the rest of those beans (pinto are her favorite kind).
That’s where Food Huggers come in. And they’re useful for more than just beans. They also help you save avocados, bananas and oranges — as well as less toddler-friendly foods like onions, peppers and cucumbers.
You can get a whole set now for less than $15.
POPCO Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper
So much of cooking and operating the kitchen in 2024 is about combining the conveniences of the modern world with maximizing customization and control of what you’re eating. That’s the intersection where the POPCO Popcorn Popper lives.
You can pick your ingredients, add the oil you want to cook with, pop the bowl in the microwave and enjoy a nice treat. You won’t have to deal with the hot bag from the grocery store microwave popcorn before cleaning it (which is easy) and collapsing it for easy storage.

Gizmo Snap N Strain Pot & Pasta Strainer
Love cooking pasta but hate fumbling with a colander? The Snap N Strain is a favorite of BestReviews testers because it’s so simple and functions like a much more pricey product.
It fits snugly on all kinds of bowls and pots, makes for a great gift and saves space for those with tight kitchen storage space. Perfect for more than just pasta and also great for fruit and vegetables as well.
Unlock 58% off savings right now and save time cleaning a colander for less than $13.
This is our favorite product of the bunch because it combines form and function. The hunnibi Honey Dispenser will look great on your counter and save you time waiting for honey or syrup to be ready to pour. The dish it sits in ensures you won’t waste time cleaning your counters.
These are selling fast and are available for less than $25.
