Its sleek design not only looks great on your countertop, but also helps blend broths, sauces, and vinaigrettes.> Promising review: “I purchased this in March 2023 to use when adding protein powder to my morning coffee and have since used it for so much more. It’s battery-operated, but I haven’t changed the batteries yet, and I’ve owned it for almost a full year. I love the holder that comes with it for easy storage, and that is quick to clean with a cold rinse under running water. I use it to blend protein powder into my coffee, whip up a quick homemade cold foam, and even add magnesium powder to my sleepy girl mocktails. Honestly, it has a lot of uses and has become a staple tool in my kitchen.” — Wendi

> Promising review: “This set has been a dream! With my kids helping with dishes, this set has made the pots/pans cabinet a non-issue. Before, we had to stack the pans together, but they’d get stacked wonky because of the handles. With this set, we keep the handles in the utensil drawer and the rest stacked together. I typically cook without the handles attached (depending on the meal, of course) and clip on once complete to move the pan wherever it needs to go. I rinse the handle of any debris and put it away. Grab the storage lid and plop the pan directly into the fridge. This set has made a huge difference in my desire to cook, as the hassle from start to finish is a fraction of what it was with my old set!” — Brooke

A brownie dividing pan
that’ll ensure all your brownies are perfectly shaped. Plus, you can customize each brownie’s topping without worrying it’ll spill over to the next one.> BuzzFeed Shopping staffer Emma Lord has this and LOVES it: “Um, I’m obsessed with this pan. I make those gooey three-layer brownies that are cookie dough on the bottom, Oreos in the middle, and either brownie or Nutella on top, and I famously underbake them because salmonella doesn’t apply to me. Which is to say, usually when I make these, it’s a big gooey mess, and my friends have to dig in with a spoon, and it’s less inviting for guests to take one. With this tray it was SO easy to put the batter in, stick the divider on top, and bake individual small bars. it was completely nonstick, and it was easy to pull the divider out once everything was cooked. The uniform brownies were a huge hit at a party!”

It sticks great to the pan, and the silicone rings add great shock absorption, so it doesn’t make a lot of noise when I send down my heavy-ass 13-some-inch skillet! It cleans off easily; I’ve only used it a handful of times, but it still looks brand new! A little pricey, but it’s a premium kitchen thing. I recommend don’t settle for something cheaper.” — K.
