Lissa's Lists • Fun Kitchen Must-Haves

LIFESTYLE, Lissa's Lists, WISHLISTSlissa-anglinComment

I’m a list lover. I’ll write to-dos down just to cross them off. Want to convince me of something? Make a list of reasons why. So, for some time now, I’ve wanted to do a fun weekly feature called Lissa’s Lists- where I get to share a fun list of whatever I feel like sharing! So, without further ado…

This week’s list is Fun Kitchen Must-Haves. I thought about calling it Quirky Kitchen Gadgets or Stuff I Have In My Kitchen That Makes Me Smile, but really, all of these things are things I would consider must haves- and they either make cooking a little easier or more fun for me- or both!


Popco Popcorn Maker

We bought this popcorn maker about 2 weeks into quarantine and have used it so much! There are tons of great recipes out there but we love this kettle corn one the best.

PackIt Freezer Bags

You could say I’m a little fanatical about this brand of bag- they contain ice packs build into the bag and fold up nice and compact to fit in your freezer when not in use. We use this for road trip snacks, soccer and baseball games and picnics. We also have several of their lunchboxes, and they make ones for breast milk as well!


Oxo Strawberry Huller

My mother-in-law gave me one of these after I watched in amazement as she used hers one day. I love strawberries and this little guy takes all the pain of getting the stem out!


Microwave Cleaner Angry Mom with Fridge Odor Absorber Cool Mom

Quite the quirky and useful pair- my mom gave me these. One is a fridge odor remover, and one fills with water and vinegar and steams your microwave clean.


Dinosaur InstaPot Steam Diverter

I mean, why not?! I bought this because I noticed that my InstaPot was steaming right onto my kitchen cabinets, but also it’s just fun. Be sure to check that it fits your specific model before you buy - they also have other characters if dinos aren’t your jam.


Brown Sugar Saver

This is a quick and cheap fix for dry brown sugar. Just soak it in water and pop it into your canister, and voila!


Square Ice Cube Trays

I love these for many reasons- good for whiskey ice, frozen coffee, homemade baby food.


Pampered Chef Mix N Chop

Another gift from my mom that I use several times a week. This little tool makes breaking up ground beef, turkey or sausage soooo much faster and easier.


Kitchen Scissors

If you don’t have a good pair of kitchen scissors, you’re working too hard!
