Whether you love or loath being in the kitchen, part of being an adult involves spending a lot of time in this particular sector of your living space. Whether that translates to you actually cooking, begrudgingly opening and closing the fridge, or sloughing through the seemingly never-ending pile of dishes in the sink, the truth of the matter is: Whipping up something to eat, then having to tidy up after the fact is, often tedious and rarely fun. That’s where cheap kitchen hacks come in handy.

It will never cease to amaze us here at Spy just how many quirky items you can find poking around Amazon, especially under the kitchen and dining umbrella. Typically, shopping for kitchen necessities translates to clunky appliances or, worse, cleaning supplies that run up your credit card. And as thrilling as toaster ovens and air fryers are, cooking and organization shortcuts can be just as fun, plus low maintenance and priced at low costs. Need proof? We’ve rounded up some of the best kitchen hacks currently available on Amazon, and all for $25 and under, below.
