Welcome to GetMojo, where we do the research, so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re offering our picks for the 5 best kitchen accessories you didn’t know you needed. Kitchen accessories are not all created equally. Some are practical, some just look good - and others are just plain useless! But what about kitchen accessories? What are some of the most unique, useful gadgets out there? Well, don’t go anywhere, because we’ve sifted through numerous website and consumer reviews to present our 5 recommended products. Okay, first up.

Cutting vegetables properly in certain configurations can be difficult, tricky and tedious. But this spiralizer can churn out perfectly cut vegetables in seconds - and as an added bonus, it’s really fun to use. Offering a fold flat design for easy storage, this machine has a variety of different blade attachments that can cut ribbon, noodle and Julienne styles. You’ve got to see it to believe it, this thing is a beast!

Ever tried to clean a whisk? Well, this intelligent little tool makes cleaning things like batter off whisks quick, easy and stress-free. You simply put it on your whisk before using — pushing it to the bottom — and when you’re finished, just pull it off, taking any goopy mess with it. It’s great for stopping your whisk slipping into your mixing bowl, too. And it even comes in a range of colors to match your other baking accessories.

Another all-too-frequent annoyance in the kitchen is having to stay on top of stirring soups and sauces. This automatic pan stirrer however, removes that nuisance. With three different stirring speeds to choose from, this three-legged stirrer is cordless, so it’s easy to incorporate into your meal prep. The legs can also be removed for easy cleaning and are machine washable. It may look like something from “War of the Worlds”, but you’ll be glad it’s in your kitchen come meal time.

It’s really easy to burn your hand, or struggle to keep hold of a pan, when using a colander to strain vegetables or pasta. But with a clip-on silicone colander like this one from Kitchen Gizmo, you can do it one handed - or two handed for added stability. The space-saving Snap N Strain strainer clips on to the edge of a pan, strains water and stops your ingredients from sliding out. It’s ridiculously simple, but a revelation! Before we unveil our final pick, here are a few other great kitchen accessories you might want to consider:

Knowing you’ve got to wait hours for your freezer to make ice cubes is a bummer. But with this countertop ice maker, you can enjoy up to nine ice cubes in as little as eight minutes. This machine comes with a transparent window so you can watch your ice being made, and it can produce up to 26 pounds of ice a day, if needed! We also like its slick, stainless steel design. So which kitchen gadget should you buy? Well, some of these are pretty specific to certain tasks, like the Whisk Wiper and strainer. So if you want something a little more universal, we’d go with the vegetable slicer. For something so sophisticated, it takes up almost no space.
