One of my favorite pastimes is hunting for kitchen products. Whatever shoppers are eyeing, I want (and need) to know. Every month, I like to check out Amazon’s kitchen bestsellers section to see what has most recently caught home cooks’ eyes. To kick off September, the trendiest kitchen tools include clever olive oil sprayers and several KitchenAid gadgets, plus several of our tested favorites, like the best value instant-read thermometer. If you’re curious, like I am, to see the bestselling gadgets that Amazon shoppers are buying by the thousands, keep reading. (And they all just so happen to be $16 or less.)

Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale
Amazon
A digital kitchen scale provides the most accurate weight measurements in baking or meal prep, ensuring that the recipe turns out the way it should. Amazon Basics’ digital kitchen scale has captured the attention of shoppers, hitting the No. 1 bestselling spot, with over 80,000 purchased in the past month. The scale weighs ingredients up to 11 pounds and has a stainless steel platform and digital display that shoppers say is “clear and easy to read.”
Alpha Griller Meat Thermometer
Amazon
The Alpha Griller meat thermometer is our best value pick, and it’s on sale for $14, making it even more affordable. We found it to be accurate (within 0.2°F to 2.5°F), reliable, and fast at reading temperatures within two to five seconds. With this thermometer around, there’s “no guesswork involved,” declared one reviewer. Apply the on-page coupon and get this kitchen tool for $14.
ThermoMonster Meat Thermometer
Amazon
The ThermoMonster, another meat thermometer, is also in the top 10 bestsellers, and it looks and operates similarly to the Alpha Griller. While it’s not as popular, there’s one main difference: It actually can read faster — according to the brand, this thermometer accurately reads in 0.5 seconds. It’s on sale for 31% off.
Etekcity Food Kitchen Scale
Amazon
With over 121,500 perfect ratings, the bestselling Etekcity food kitchen scale has been a long-time favorite among shoppers. It’s one of our favorite kitchen scales, impressing us during testing with its lightweight design, large weighing plate, and precise accuracy that can measure up to two decimal places. Additionally, it can measure in multiple units: ounces, grams, pounds and ounces, fluid ounces, and milliliters.
KitchenAid All-Purpose Kitchen Shears
Amazon
Kitchen shears are handy gadgets to have around, and this pair by KitchenAid is another of our tested favorites. We liked how heavy-duty they feel and how comfortable they are to hold. Shoppers say their cutting ability is “clean, precise, and powerful enough for trimming herbs to breaking down poultry.” There’s even a blade guard sheath that keeps them protected during storage.
Yarramate Olive Oil Sprayer
Amazon
The Yarramate olive oil sprayer lets you drizzle, spray, mist, or pour the amount of oil you desire during your meal prep process. One reviewer appreciates the ability to “switch between pouring and spraying,” which makes it “super handy for cooking or salads.” It also looks more stylish sitting on the counter than a bottle of olive oil.
TrendPlain Olive Oil Sprayer
Amazon
Oil sprayers are a big hit with shoppers, and the TrendPlain olive oil sprayer offers the same multifunctionality that the Yarramate model above does. The main difference between the two is that this oil sprayer has measurement markings on the bottle, which allow you to see exactly how much oil you’ve dispensed and how much is left.
KitchenAid Classic Multifunction Can Opener
Amazon
KitchenAid’s multifunction can opener has a stainless steel cutting wheel and a large knob that makes it easier to turn and open various-sized cans. Unlike other models, this opener has a soft, ergonomic handle that one reviewer stated “provides a secure, comfortable grip.”
Suretivian Chicken Shredder
Amazon
With a few twists and turns, the Suretivian chicken shredder makes short work of shredding chicken and other protein for sandwiches, tacos, salads, and more. Amazon shoppers have stopped using the 2-fork method and switched over to this kitchen gadget that provides “perfectly shredded meat in seconds.”
Doqaus 4-Piece Ice Cube Tray Set
Amazon
The Doqaus ice cube tray set includes four ice trays, each with its own lid to keep ice fresh and odor-free. The trays have a “genius” soft silicone bottom that lets you push the ice cubes out individually without needing to twist, turn, or prod. The set also comes with an ice bin with a removable lid and a scoop. Get this bestselling set while it’s 38% off.
