This Under-$20 Kitchen Gear Is Trending on Amazon

When looking for new kitchen gear, don’t waste your time endlessly scrolling on Amazon. Instead, check out Amazon’s Movers and Shakers page, a hub dedicated to trending products, and let shoppers tell you what’s hot. On a recent deep dive, we found that thousands of home cooks are spending their winters making mini waffles, cooking in Lodge cast iron skillets, and using food thermometers to make sure their proteins are thoroughly cooked. Read on for Amazon shoppers’ current favorite kitchen items — and make sure to grab them while they’re all under $15.

Lodge 8-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

This is the 8-inch version of what we call the best cast iron skillet ever, so it’s no surprise that it’s moving and shaking right now, especially since we’re deep in comfort food season. It’s also the top-selling skillet on Amazon — over 3,000 people picked one up within the past month. Add it to your cart while it’s at an incredible price of $15.

Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler, 14-Ounce

As far as we’re concerned, Stanley tumblers are always trendy — but Amazon shoppers are so into them right now that the vacuum-insulated, double-walled straw cup is currently the No. 3 Mover and Shaker. This 14-ounce version keeps iced beverages cold for up to 20 hours (but we predict it won’t take that long to finish your iced latte or smoothie). 

Dash Mini Waffle Maker

I did a double take when I saw this compact waffle maker’s 195,000 (and counting) five-star ratings at Amazon, but the number is real. A staggering 20,000 people picked up this $9 nonstick waffle maker in the past month. It’s just big enough to dish out 4-inch waffles, meaning it’s super easy to store (though based on how beloved it is, it’ll probably remain on your counter).

Etekcity Food Scale

Whether you’re measuring out coffee beans, weighing flour for dough, or just trying to track portion sizes, having a food scale is an essential tool for people who spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Amazon says over 70,000 people picked up one of these within the past month. No surprise there: It’s the bestselling digital kitchen scale on the site and our testing editors’ favorite lightweight option. Plus, it’s on sale for $11. 

Peach Street Handheld Milk Frother

A lot of people must have made New Year’s resolutions to start frothing their own milk for lattes and cappuccinos because over 8,000 shoppers bought this high-speed — it can reach up to 19,000 RPM — frother recently. Plus, it’s over half off, landing at an incredible $8.

Pgyard Meat Chopper

Thousands of Amazon shoppers were seeking a BPA-free, high-temperature-resistant tool for prepping and cooking meat, and they found one in the Pgyard meat chopper. Its sharp, pinwheel-style will easily cut through anything from beef and turkey to fruit — it’ll even mash potatoes in a pinch.

ThermoPro Digital Instant Read Thermometer

Many who excel at making delicious steak, chicken, or pork will tell you that the one essential tool for continued success is a great thermometer. over 10,000 shoppers decided to try out this bestselling thermometer recently, and it’s not even grilling season yet. That could have something to do with the fact that it’s currently on sale for $11.
