Cooking. Some may dread doing it after a long day of work, while others may look forward to crafting a delicious concoction for themselves or their loved ones.

Wherever your stance on cooking, one thing arguably everyone can agree on is cooking can be a time-consuming task that can require a lot of energy.

We decided to take a look at gadgets that could help with this.

The gadgets we found are all on Amazon, meaning if you are a Prime member, you can get these relatively quickly. They also have at least 5,000 customer ratings, showing many have bought and tested these gadgets. And lastly, they are all under $30, so you won’t have to break the bank to make your cooking lives easier.

Some are even on sale, meaning you’re actually saving money in the process.

Here are six kitchen gadgets that can save you time and energy when cooking.

Many people may say they can’t function properly in the morning without a cup of coffee.

But if you’ve been looking to make yourself an elevated cup of coffee and save money on your trips to your local Dunkin’ or Starbucks, then this milk frother from Zulay can help you achieve elevated status and save money in the process.

This frother has gone viral on TikTok for its ability to give a professional finishing touch to a home-brewed latte, cappuccino or macchiato. It works on all types of milk, including creamer and Half and Half products.

Over 79,000 people have rated this product as of this writing, giving it 4.6 stars out of five stars. One customer mentioned they’ve even bought this milk frother for their family and friends.

“It’s such a cheap and simple way to add delight to our morning routine,” the customer wrote.” It whips the milk and sugar into a foam and makes coffee shop-worthy drinks at home.”

The executive version of the Zulay milk frother typically goes for $29.99, but right now, it’s on sale. You can take 33% off the milk frother, which is a savings of $10.

Leave the saucepan where it is because all you need to do is add water to get your eggs cooked in this nifty gadget.

The rapid egg cooker from DASH allows you to cook up to six hard-boiled eggs at a time. The makers say the cooker also cooks eggs faster than on the stovetop.

The egg cooker also comes with a piercer that you use on your eggs when looking to get hard-boiled eggs. The piercer helps with the cooking process and the part that’s always the most difficult: the peeling process.

But cooking hard-boiled eggs isn’t the cool part of this gadget. The egg cooker can also make omelets with whatever toppings you’d like.

Over 100,000 people have rated this product as of this writing, giving it 4.7 stars out of five stars. One customer raved about how often they use the egg cooker.

“We use our (Dash) four to five times a week,” the customer wrote. “It’s the greatest little gadget and I am not usually a gadget person. But this takes the guesswork out of hard boiling eggs and works in about half the time.”

The aqua-colored version of the Dash rapid egg cooker will cost you $19.99.

This multifunctional vegetable chopper is the answer to everyone’s prayers when they are chopping onions.

It comes with seven blades, allowing you to cut the way you want. Looking for sliced cucumbers for a salad? You can do that with the mandolin slice. Save tears by chopping onions with the large dicer.

It even comes with a peeler as well.

Over 6,300 customers have rated this product as of this writing, giving it 4.3 stars out of five stars. One customer mentioned how they broke their wrist and needed a one-handed way to dice food. “The small dicing blade is perfect for uniform dicing of veggies,” the customer wrote. “The lid is sturdy and withstands good force without cracking.”

The product usually goes for $29.99, but it’s currently on sale for 33% off.

Now this gadget here can help your kids get involved in the cooking process with the help of Count “Gracula.”

Simply place the desired amount of garlic you want in the crusher and proceed to press on the garlic inside of the little basket. It’s that easy.

The count will help you crush, not just garlic, but even ginger, nuts, chilis and herbs.

We know a garlic crusher doesn’t necessarily need to be a parody of Dracula, but it could be a way to make the cooking process more fun for you and your loved ones.

Over 5,000 customers have rated the product on Amazon, giving it 4.5 stars out of five stars. One customer bought this as a gift for their friend and had this to say. “I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend who likes to cook,” the customer wrote. ”She still raves about how easy it is to use and so cute.”

The Gracula garlic crusher usually costs $29.95, but it’s on sale right now.

No need to hold an olive oil bottle or get another dish dirty to measure your olive oil with this gadget.

This oil sprayer allows you to spray food with your desired level of olive oil, whether before you place a chicken in the oven to roast or to use to spray olive oil on a simple salad.

But it doesn’t need to be olive oil to use the sprayer. It can be filled with avocado oil, coconut oil, vinegar and more.

So if you don’t need to use it for cooking, but cleaning with vinegar, this is perfect!

Over 16,000 customers have rated the product on Amazon, giving it 4.1 stars out of five stars.

One customer said they’d had several sprayers before they came across this one.”I have had mine for over a year and it still has the original filling of oil in it, and it still sprays without any problems,” the customer wrote.”I'm glad I found one that really works the way it is supposed to.”

The oil sprayer will cost you $13.99.

Pass the salt to your friend, tell them to hold it over their food, and let the grinder do the work.

Electric salt and pepper grinders have taken TikTok by storm, with people showing off how cool it is to just simply hold the grinder over their food and have it do the work for them.

You can also choose how you want the salt or pepper to come out, from coarse to fine. And if you want to use other spices, you can as long as they are solid grain seasonings.

Over 17,000 customers have rated the product on Amazon, giving it 4.4 stars out of five. One customer said these are great, especially for those dealing with hand issues.

“I had traditional grinders that were very nice but during a recent arthritis and gout flare-up in my hand, I was totally unable to use them because my hand was in fact useless,” the customer wrote. “These automatic grinders solve that problem.”

A two-pack typically costs $35.99, but it’s currently on sale, bringing it under the $30 threshold. You can also buy just one for $19.99 if you only want one to use.
