Kitchen & Dining

A loud, simple fridge timer for most kitchens, plus picks for long cooks, two ovens, big rooms and tight budgets.

We tested silicone sets, fish turners, and small spatulas to find the ones that flip, scrape, and hold up. Here is what earns a place in your kitchen.

We tested fish spatulas to find thin, flexible turners that slide under delicate fillets, plus the best budget, nonstick, and left-handed options.

We tested silicone and natural-bristle basting brushes on sauce, butter and egg wash. Here’s which hold a baste without shedding into your food.

We tested stainless and plastic taco holders to find the ones that keep shells upright, survive the oven, and earn their drawer space.

We tested glass cruets and spray-and-pour bottles to find the easiest, least messy way to keep olive oil within reach.

We tested reusable oil sprayers for air frying, salads and grilling. Here’s which ones mist evenly, which drip, and the one worth your counter.

We tested water-seal butter crocks that keep a stick spreadable on the counter, from the classic Butter Bell to two-stick and budget picks.

We tested budget pellet grills from Pit Boss, Z Grills and DAMNISS to find which cheap smokers hold temperature, and which are worth the step up.

Briquettes, lump, and charcoal logs compared for smoker cooks: burn time, ash, chunk size, and storage, so you can load once and hold steady heat.

We tested steel, bamboo, and plastic bread boxes to find which keep loaves fresh without eating counter space, plus the best airtight and corner picks.

We tested compartmented bento boxes for leak resistance, easy packing, and real-world portions, then picked the best for adults, kids, and cold lunches.
