Buy on Amazon Hands down, the most purchased item we discovered was this 10.25-inch Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet, complete with a nifty silicone handle cover. You really can't go wrong with a skillet, whether you're a home or professional cook. We even dubbed it our “Best Overall Cast-Iron Skillet” pick for its easy maneuvering, roomy handle, and ability to perfectly cook everything from seared pork loin to cornbread.
Buy on Amazon The easiest method for keeping the oven bottom clean is this best-selling double pack of Teflon oven liners from ThreadNanny that you can snap up for just $10. Thanks to these heavy-duty, dishwasher-safe mats, which are safe to use up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, the dreadful task of cleaning our oven is significantly simplified. "No more hours wasted on tedious oven cleaning," one five-star reviewer raved. "The thickness of the mat provides exceptional insulation, preventing any food spills from scorching and sticking to the oven floor," they emphasized, adding, "Its versatility is another highlight; it can be used in various kitchen appliances, such as toaster ovens and microwaves."
Buy on Amazon Bacon is always on the menu, but it's not exactly a breeze to prepare; that is, unless you're using this microwave bacon dish. Rather than laying your bacon out on aluminum foil or in a pan (while hogging up an essential burner), you'll hang it on these three plastic bars, stick it in the microwave, and watch as all the grease drips down into the tray. Amazon shoppers say they "love this easy-clean way to cook just a few pieces of bacon without all the mess and extra cleanup."
Buy on Amazon The O-Cedar RinseClean System dazzled us during testing, earning its rightful spot as our “Best Overall Spin Mop” pick. The only downside we found is that the bucket doesn't include wheels for easy mobility, but it more than makes up for it with supreme cleaning power and efficiency. The system features two bucket tanks separating the clean and dirty water, and thanks to the foot-activated petal, you can wring it out hands-free. The triangular head also makes it easy to get into corners and around furniture.
