Starting at $9.
I’ve devoted the last few years to testing kitchen gear. This means I’ve put my fair share of espresso machines, nonstick skillets, and silicone spatulas through their paces. With so much time and energy spent in my kitchen, I’ve developed a sixth sense for the tools and gadgets that will perform best. Of course, every cook is unique and has different needs, but based on my own experience, shopper reviews, and the demands of summer, I’ve rounded up 11 of the best Amazon kitchen finds for July. There’s this extremely popular OXO omelet spatula, a useful Simplehuman sink caddy, and a see-through Cuisinart air fryer that lets you monitor your food as it cooks. The best part? Prices start at just $9.

OXO Good Grips Mini Squeeze and Pour Measuring Cup
If you’ve ever tried measuring olive oil using a teaspoon or tablespoon, you’ll understand how helpful this tiny tool can be. It has markings for milliliters, cups, and ounces, so you can accurately measure liquids without dirtying a bunch of spoons. And the body is made of flexible silicone, so it’s a simple matter to pour ingredients into another vessel without spilling.
Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Savers, Set of 2
You’ll need these produce keepers now that strawberry season is in full swing. They have more than 8,600 five-star ratings at Amazon and plenty of positive comments praising their design. Between the elevated base to keep the fruit from sitting in liquid and built-in filters to regulate the flow of oxygen, it’s obvious why these food storage containers are so popular.
Zeroll Heated Ice Cream Scoop
Thanks to a heat-conductive liquid in the handle of this ice cream scoop, you can quickly cut through a still-frozen pint of ice cream or gelato. During testing, we found that it works even better after soaking the head of the scoop in warm water. And even though it’s not dishwasher-safe, it’s still our top-tested scoop since the all-aluminum exterior is “easy to rinse off.”
OXO Good Grips Flip and Fold Omelet Turner
Making an omelet has never been easier thanks to this spatula. With a flexible edge that glides under eggs and a wide, flat face for control, you can effortlessly flip, fold, and turn a cheesy, vegetable-stuffed omelet. But Amazon shoppers say it’s useful for so much more than just omelets, with at least one commenting that they use it to make “fried eggs, pancakes, skillet bread, or any other item that requires a spatula.”
Hestan ProBond Nonstick Pan
Dubbed “the Cadillac of pans” by Michael Cimarusti of Providence, a Michelin-starred seafood restaurant in Los Angeles, this nonstick pan is a true workhorse in the kitchen. Cimarusti appreciates how well it conducts heat, using it to achieve perfect fried eggs and crispy-skinned fish without a sticky mess.
Secura French Press Coffee Maker
More than 2,000 Amazon shoppers have bought this French press in the past 30 days. It’s available in multiple colors and finishes, all of which include a filter screen to keep the grounds separate from the coffee.
Simplehuman Sink Caddy
Keep your kitchen sink organized with this hanging caddy. It loops over the side of your sink and sticks via four suction cups on the back. And since it fits multiple sponges, including long-handled models, it’s a great value.
Weber Small Stainless Steel Vegetable Basket
Use this basket to grill small vegetables that can easily slip through grill grates. You can cook bell peppers, radishes, zucchini, and even shrimp, making it the perfect summer accessory. Just make sure to pair it with reliable kitchen tongs, such as this Gorilla Grip set, to keep your hands far away from the flames.
Cuisinart ClearView 4-Quart Air Fryer
A newer addition to Amazon, the Cuisinart ClearView Air Fryer has been purchased by 5,000 shoppers in the last 30 days. They love its compact design and see-through glass basket, which allows them to monitor their food as it cooks. Since you can also use the basket as a storage container, buying this air fryer is a no-brainer.
Ototo Kitchen Colander
This tool will save you so much space in the dishwasher. Replacing a bulky colander, it clips onto the side of your cookware instead of sitting in your sink. This allows you to drain pasta or potatoes without transferring them from the pot to the colander and back again. Plus, it’s extremely cute.
Elite Gourmet Electric Citrus Juicer
According to one Amazon shopper, this gadget can juice upwards of 10 oranges or lemons in mere “seconds.” As far as electric juicers go, it’s reasonably priced at just $14, and it’s not so large that it’s a burden to store. A fresh glass of orange juice on a summer morning is just a click away.
