An automatic pan stirrer because parents could use a few more hands as it is. Let this stirrer take some of the load off with its three-speed options that allow you to finish preparing dinner without missing a beat.

A set of ice pop molds made from malleable silicone, which makes it easy to remove the ice pops, unlike the hard plastic ones. Fill the molds with yogurt, juice, *or* yummy smoothies (a great way to disguise the fruit and veggies your child won't normally eat).

Magnetic locks for cabinets for incognito babyproofing that will keep your pots and pans inside your cabinets. Once installed, simply wave the magnet at the lock to open it. Masterful!

Promising review: "I absolutely love these. For quite a while I have been frustrated with kitchen/dish towels. I find most to be not nearly absorbent enough, too large and awkward, and needing frequent disinfecting to avoid smelling funky.

These towel sponges are exactly what I needed in a dish cloth. They are absorbent, just the right size, antimicrobial, and easy to clean! Add in that they are sourced from a family small business and I'm thrilled." —Nathaniel Rider

Check out a TikTok of a pancake batter dispenser in action.

Promising review: "It's super easy to make pancakes in the morning with this product. I've experienced very few products that I have no complaints about but this is one. I love that the bottle opens at the bottom for easy filling. I flip it upside down and rest the nozzle in the base. I use this to make pancakes from scratch. I add the egg to the bottle and shake it to break the yolk then add the rest of the wet then dry ingredients. I close up the bottle without the whisk and give it a couple of vigorous shakes and the batter comes together perfectly. I use cassava flour and was worried the batter would be too heavy to come out but it wasn't. I've even used it to make waffles with no problem. I love it most because I can fill the pan with even sized pancakes with so little mess that I no longer hate pancake day. I find it fairly easy to clean because both the bottom and top come off. Overall it's a super useful way to make pancakes quickly with minimal mess and simple clean up." —T Gutter
