Avocado Savers by Uncommon Goods ($8)
Avocados have taken off in recent years, thanks to their great taste, healthy qualities, and attractive color. The problem is, they go ripe pretty quickly – you have a short window of time, even if you stick them in the fridge.
The elements in the air turn this fruit brown in the blink of an eye, which is why Uncommon Goods have come up with the Avocado Savers, a form-fitting silicone cup that is dishwasher safe and covers the open side of the avocado to keep it fresh. There's space for the pit, and the size can be adjusted to fit any avocado you want.
Warming Butter Spreader by That! Inventions ($30.24)
Butter goes bad. I know we might be getting back to basics here, but stick with us. Butter goes bad unless you put it in the fridge, and the fridge is cold. So, when you take the butter out, it's still cold. Cold butter is hard to spread. If only there was some sort of warm utensil you could use to heat it up.
Well, the Warming Butter Spreader is just that, a serrated knife that warms up when you hold it in your hand. Finally, a knife that is actually like a knife through butter. It works on peanut butter, cream cheese, and other spreads, too.

This odd kitchen tool has a handle at the top, which means anyone can turn it to spin the fork and roll up a big ball of noodles with less mess and fuss. This idea may seem simple, but it’s complicated enough for Donkey to charge a whopping thirty dollars per fork. Is that really worth it?

3D Vegan Burger Printer by BBB, Savor Eat (Between $5,000 and $10,000)
Those who enjoy red meat love their burgers, but vegans and vegetarians have been left in the lurch. An Israeli hamburger company called Burgus Burger Bar decided to do something nice, though pricey, and create this 3D Vegan Burger Printer.
Called “Chef-It,” this vegan burger is assembled from a cartridge of plant-based proteins, cellulose, and flavor components. Yum! Cellulose is the important part here, as it can be manipulated into the textures of beef fat and muscle. We're hoping to see the Chef-It make an appearance soon, and hopefully, the price will come down a few thousand notches.
Spaghetti Fork by Hog Wild ($9)
Eating pasta, especially the long-long spaghetti strings can get messy. So, next time you are thinking of an Italian night, don't forget to get a couple of these. They will change the whole eating experience.
Just one thing we must understand. If it's dishwasher safe, as it says it is, shouldn't the batteries be removed before?

This little guy is also reusable and helps you cut back on wasteful tea bags. We all need good hot water soak from time to time, even if you're made of silicone!

Is It a Fork? Is It a Spoon?
This could be a training tool for your kids, learning how to use a fork. It could also be a great way to save on some space when going on hiking trips (we always need a fork at one point or another). This can also be just a plain fork-spoon combination with no story behind it at all.
Would this work with a lefthanded? Would it work at all?
Meat Claws by Mountain Grillers ($15)

Meat Tenderizer Needle Kitchen Tool by Mierepro ($13.99)
When you think of a meat tenderizer, you probably think of a wooden mallet with spikes on the end. They definitely get the job done, but isn't there a better way? The Meat Tenderizer Needle Kitchen Tool has several needles at the base of the handle. All you have to do to get a perfect consistency is push it down onto the meat.
Reviews tell us the truth of the matter, and this item from Mierepro has a four-star average on Amazon. It seems a little slower than just going to town with a wooden mallet, but if you're spending enough time tenderizing meat, you'll enjoy better results with this item.

We've finally done it, people. It might not be the most necessary item in your kitchen, but it can help to make your cooking a little easier by giving you building blocks instead of ovals and circles.

EZ Cracker by PJT ($15)
Once you hit adulthood, cracking an egg should be something you can do. But, there are plenty out there who still have trouble for one good reason or another. However, now the EZ Cracked from PJT means it has never been easier. The device is designed to crack the egg down the middle and drop the contents into your mixing bowl.
It's designed to do that, but reviews of the device on Amazon haven't been kind with reports of egg bits getting caught in the yolk and whites. One reviewer said the product “toyed with my emotions.” It seems even fifteen dollars is too much to shell out for this item.
Electric Meat Slicer by Fotile ($130)

Chork by The Chork ($30)
People who can properly use chopsticks are magicians and should be shunned – who knows what other magicks they have at their command? For actual humans, it's a difficult skill to master. In the manner of the spork, which combined the spoon and fork, the Chork works as both a fork and a pair of chopsticks.
You can keep trying to learn how to use the chopsticks before finally giving in to your hunger and switching for the fork so that you can actually get some food into your mouth. It's a stroke of genius to offer them at Asian restaurants – expect to see the Chork becoming more common.
