Best Amazon Movers and Shakers Finds Under $30

Lodge 6.5-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

While a 6.5-inch cast iron skillet might initially seem small, I think it’s an underappreciated gem more people should keep in their kitchen. I have one and love it when I want to make myself a fried egg or side dish without dirtying a large pan. This one from Lodge is preseasoned and has a whopping 10,000 five-star ratings from satisfied shoppers.

Veken Coffee Canister 

Take a tip from coffee experts and store your beans away from air, moisture, heat, and light. This airtight, stainless steel canister allows you to do just that, while saving you the trip to your neighborhood café. Thousands of Amazon shoppers rated it five stars for its ability to maintain flavor profiles, a direct result of its clever one-way CO2 valve and silicone rubber seal. There’s also a date tracker on the lid, a window to view contents, and a scoop for easy pouring.

Odsd 2-in-1 Mini Bag Sealer 

Compact and easy to tuck away in a drawer, this battery-operated (they’re also included!) 2-in-1 device can both seal and cut. One function opens bags while the other seals them shut to prevent spills and preserve freshness. It’s way more useful than clipping on a clothespin, and you can use the tool over and over again to seal, open up, and reseal chip bags, cookie packages, and cooking supplies. 

Farberware Classic Wood Rolling Pin

All bakers, whether professional or novice, need a good rolling pin at the ready, and this one has nearly 1,000 five-star ratings. Made from moisture-resistant hardwood, it’s ideal for all dough types and a breeze to use thanks to a 10-inch barrel and 4-inch handles, which provide smooth and easy rolling for less hand fatigue. The rust-proof nylon bearings are durable, and cleaning only requires a damp cloth.

KitchenAid Beacon 2-Tone Non-Slip Mini Oven Mitt Set

If you’ve been taking hot dishes out of the oven with flimsy dish towels, it’s time to invest in a proper set of oven mitts. These ones by KitchenAid are currently 55% off and made with 100% durable, heat-resistant cotton that has silicone on the underside for a slip-resistant grip. We also like that they come in fun, eye-catching colors, can be thrown in the laundry, and have a hanging loop for storing away.

Rouuo Digital Meat Thermometer

Ensure all dishes are cooked to perfection with this digital meat thermometer that’s currently discounted by nearly 40%. In just two to three seconds’ time, the correct temperature will flash across the LCD display screen with an accuracy of plus or minus one degree. The stainless steel probe is waterproof and works with both icy and boiling hot temperatures and can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit measurements, as well.

Turelar Handheld 3-in-1 Blender Set 

Fitted with a 1100-watt full copper motor, this 3-in-1 immersion blender set comes with a blender stick, a milk frother, and an egg whisk. We’d use it to purée velvety smooth soups, whip up heavy cream, and remove lumps from cake batter — all without having to switch tools. Thousands of shoppers agree that the variable speed is easy to control, and the food-grade nylon blade guard helps to minimize suction and prevent scratches and splatters.

OXO Good Grips Vegetable Chopper

If you’ve refrained from trying out a new recipe or making a healthy salad because it called for too much chopping or dicing, this is the hack you’ve been missing. Chop food into uniform pieces all at once, simply by loading them into this gadget’s cup and pressing down on the top knob. Voila, your kitchen prep is done in seconds, and without any mess either.

Kikcoin Bamboo Cutting Board 

In a bid to cut out toxins during food prep, I’ve swapped plastic cutting boards in favor of natural options similar to this, which is made from bamboo. Its extra-large size means you can chop in one contained space, and it could also be repurposed as a serving tray for charcuterie or cheese. Design features include deep side grooves to collect juices, a built-in handle, and reversible sides, which are treated with food oil, leaving it thick, sturdy, and resistant to cracks.

Yeti Rambler 12-Ounce Stainless Steel Travel Bottle

Made with kitchen-grade stainless steel and featuring a double-wall vacuum insulation, this travel mug keeps drinks icy cold or super hot for hours on end. The 360-degree leakproof cap not only prevents spills or drips, but can be adjusted to sip from any angle. Hundreds of shoppers also love that it fits into most cupholders and is safe to use in the dishwasher.
