This cool kitchen gadgets article is mostly about some cool stuff I came across for your kitchen.
There are some awesome kitchen gadgets and gizmos present in this list where some are more of a novelty like: “How cool is that?” and some will have you say: “I want one!” Not that you really need one.
Having said that, there are some really useful stuff too that can turn the ordinary into something cool. What am I talking about?
It is like: Why make only waffles if you can make Mickey Mouse waffles. Instead of ordinary eggs, why not have eggs that looks like a funny face and why have ice cubes in your drink when they can be ice diamonds?
But why not judge for yourself browsing through my list of 29 items I found way cool and often finding myself saying: “I want one of those cool kitchen gadgets.”
While a cool kitchen gadget may mean something different to you than for me, I perceive it is something different. Something a bit out of the ordinary, fun, presented a bit different or just stylish.
So without delay. Here is my list:
Cool Kitchen Gadgets
Heated Butter Knife
A heated butter knife comes as no surprise as everybody knows the saying: “Like a warm knife through butter.”
This is exactly the idea: To effortlessly slice and spread butter onto stuff like bread, scones and croissants.
The heated butter knife is a chargeable device that quickly heats up the metal alloy blade. A USB cable is included for you to charge the heated butter knife.
Slicing through the butter is not a great success and you are better off doing it with a proper knife when actually cutting the butter into blocks or cutting off pieces BUT: “Wiping” the hard butter block with the heated knife effortlessly collect and spread butter on bread or something similar.
Features:
- Takes only 3 to 4 minutes to achieve the optimum heat
- It reaches a temperature of 167° (degrees Fahrenheit).
- Hold it on the cheese or cream for 5 to 6 seconds for it to melt.
- The blade is blunt and safe.
- Waterproof
- Easy to wash.
It is my number one reason for using margarine instead of butter on my bread; since it is hard to spread butter. Now the heated butter knife solves this for you.
Nostalgia Hot Dog Toaster
The Nostalgia Hot Dog toaster is one of those great inventions that had me say: “I want one.” It is a fun way to prepare food that everyone loves.
You can fit two regular size hot dog buns in the two slots provided and two sausages while being able to adjust the heat setting to make the perfect hot dog at the perfect temperature.
It even comes with mini tongs to retrieve the sausages from the removable hot dog rack without burning your fingers.
Features:
- Cord length: 34 Inches
- Adjustable heat setting
- Removable Hot dog cage
- Included tongs
- Tidy storage underneath for the Cord wrap
- Stop cooking button

- Hot dog cooking time: 5 Minutes
Why not make some great food that is fun, quick and easy to make with the Nostalgia Hot Dog Toaster.
Toaster With Egg Poacher
This West Bend breakfast station does it all and makes breakfast time a cinch and I must confess:
This is the first time I see a toaster with an egg poacher attached.
Because of the 2 wide slots, you can easily toast a variety of breads like muffins, bagels and croissants which makes this my favorite feature of this breakfast station; since this does not limit you to only toasting bread.
Added to its side is an egg poacher but it offers way more functionality than just soft – or hard boiling eggs thanks to 2 poaching trays and a meat warming tray that is included.
The meat warming tray can also be used to warm up tomato – or pineapple slices to put on your bread as toppings.
Use it to only poach eggs or use it solely as a toaster but best of all: Why not use both functions together to create an awesome breakfast in minutes.
Features:
- Boil up to 8 eggs
- Poach or scramble two eggs in 4 minutes
- Variable heat control for light to dark toast
- Wide toaster slots for a variety of breads
- Warm up precooked meat, tomato – or pineapple slices
- Note: This item may be larger than you think and may need consideration if you have a small kitchen.
The product dimensions are:
10.5 x 9.5 x 7.8 inches
Now breakfast can be easy, safe and flop proof in 10 minutes with this toaster and egg poacher.

This allows for having bubbly toppings when having only the top element on or crisping the pizza base when having the bottom element on.

Cleaning is an easy task as it is also dishwasher safe and BPS free.

The Jokari Bottletop Silicone Baster turns any glass or plastic bottle of sauce into a handy basting brush.
There is no need to pour your marinade into a separate container to brush onto your meat which for me is great because it is an extra dish to clean and sometimes you have too much or too little marinade to work with.

Hard Boiled Egg Timer
The hard-boiled egg timer is a neat way of taking the guesswork away when boiling eggs.
Put the egg timer in the bottom of the pot with a single layer of eggs and cover with room temperature water for best results.
Because the hard-boiled egg timer heats up exactly the same way as an egg does and for this reason I like to store my egg timer in the fridge where I store my eggs.
As it heats up, the face changes to indicate the precise level your eggs are cooked at. No more tinkering with a timer to figure out the perfect medium – or hard-boiled egg.
Features:
- Egg timer darkens as eggs cook

Here is a tip: When the hard-boiled egg timer indicates that your perfect egg is ready, remove the pot immediately from the heat and rinse the eggs with cold water to produce tender eggs rather than being rubbery.
Corn stripper
A corn stripper is very handy for making a salad or salsa but I like to cut the corn from the cob regardless to mix with other veg on my plate.
Sometimes the corn goes flying everywhere. 🙂 But with the corn stripper from Chef’n it is a simple task where you simply twist and push to effortlessly strip the corn from the cob.
The corn stripper does not take up a lot of space and is dishwasher safe.

Step 3: After at least 6 hours in the freezer, Twist and open to get your 3D skull ice cubes.
Dip Clip Bowl Holder
This dip clip bowl holder is a blessing indeed. For some it creates more space on their plate but for me, I prefer having my dip separate and not pushing it around all over my plate.
It is just easier and simpler. Now instead of me using an extra bowl for my dip and try to find a place to put it while having a snack in front of the TV, I can just simply clip this dip holder to my plate. Neat!

It looks much more presentable on your plate and ideal for restaurants.
