11 Of The Most Useful Kitchen Tools You Can Get For Under $20

11 Of The Most Useful Kitchen Tools You Can Get For Under $20






The kitchen is a fairly unique room when you think about it, because it’s more of a “workshop” than the other rooms in your average house! It’s a place you go to get something done (unlike my living room, which is where I go when I don’t want to get anything done!) ;-)

And if the kitchen is a workshop, then it’s no wonder why we all keep so many tools and pieces of equipment in there! But one of the biggest keys to keeping any workspace tidy is to focus on the quality of your tools, rather than the quantity.

And my hope is that today’s post will help you do just that! I’ll be sharing 11 genuinely useful tools that would make a great addition to any kitchen. And to sweeten the deal even further, each of the tools in this list are available for under $20 on Amazon!

So if you’re looking for useful tools for your kitchen that won’t break the bank, you’ve definitely come to exactly the right place! :-)
11 Of The Most Useful Kitchen Tools On Amazon For Under $20

1. Kitchen Towel Hooks
Price: $12.89 for 2-pack

What’s the point of even having a hook for your kitchen towels if they won’t stay on the hook? If you’re struggling with towel slippage, check out these unique towel hooks instead.

Just press your towel into the hook and it will actually stay put! These hooks are self-adhesive so you can stick them anywhere, or you can install them more permanently with the included hardware.


2. Expandable Dish Drying Rack
Price: $20.46 (In my defense, it was a dollar cheaper when I bought it!)

While a good dish drying rack like this one is a must-have in any dishwasher-free household, they can be just as useful for those who only hand wash dishes occasionally.

This cleverly designed drying rack rests across your sink so that the water drips down the drain, and not onto your countertops!


3. Reusable Silicone Food Bags
Price: $16.99 for 4-pack

Whether you want to make a choice that’s good for the environment or good for your wallet, these reusable food bags fit the bill either way! And they could potentially save you even more money in the long run by keeping your food fresh longer.


4. Silicone Food Savers
Price: $8.07 for 4-pack

It seems like I always have half an onion, half an avocado, or half a tomato that I’m not sure what to do with. So this set of silicone food savers will definitely save me a lot of hassle!

Not only can you slip them over food items, you can also slip them onto other containers. The set includes an array of sizes, so these silicone food savers can help you keep food fresh in a variety of different containers!


5. Magnetic Knife Strip
Price: $15.99

Letting your good kitchen knives roll around in a drawer is a surefire way to dull and damage their sharp edge. Instead, pull them out of that drawer and get them up on a wall with a magnetic knife strip!

Not only will a knife strip help protect your knives, it will also keep them handy to grab whenever you need one.


6. Sponge Holder
Price: $10.00 for 2-pack

Kitchen sponges are notorious for harboring all sorts of bacteria, but it can get even worse if your sponge doesn’t dry out completely between uses! That’s why it’s a good idea to store it in a sponge holder like this one, which you can attach to your sink using the suction cups provided.

Just stick it to the side of your sink so your sponge can drip dry without making a mess.

7. Over-The-Door Hanging Organizer
Price: $12.87 for 2-pack

Wish your pantry had a bit more space for storage? One of the easiest ways to add more storage is to add an over-the-door hanging organizer to the back of your pantry door!

Use the pockets on these organizers to hold spices, sauces, disposables, coffee and tea supplies, and much more!


8. Lazy Susan
Price: $14.99

It’s no secret that I love a good lazy Susan. In my mind, it’s one of the most affordable tools you can use to make your kitchen more organized and easier to navigate.


9. Silicone Baking Mat
Price: $14.99 for 3-pack

Using a silicone baking mat not only keeps your baking sheets cleaner, but it helps eliminate issues with sticking too. And with as affordable as they’ve gotten over the past few years, there’s no reason not to use them!


10. Egg Cooker
Price: $19.99

I don’t normally advocate for single-use gadgets and small appliances, but I will make an exception for this egg cooker. It’s small enough that you can tuck it away in a cupboard, and it literally could not be easier to use.

If you’re a fan of hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, omelettes, or poached eggs, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth out of this cooker!


11. Cooking Utensil Hanger
Price: $9.66

Counter space is precious real estate in any kitchen, so I love a good tool that gets anything up off the counter. For example, this cooking utensil hanger!

Just install it underneath one of your cupboards to keep your most used cooking utensils at the ready, and kiss that bulky, space-hogging utensil crock goodbye! :-)
