Food & Wine's Editorial Guidelines Published on June 18, 2024 Photo: Food & Wine / Nick Simpson Warm weather is here and I’m ready to welcome in all of the refreshing seasonal recipes to come. From dishes like crisp summer salads to bowls of ice cream for dessert, nothing quite compares to this time of year’s abundance. But, despite the fact that I love to cook all of these dishes, the sheer reality is that I always have less time in the summer. From taking day trips to simply spending time on my patio, I need extra help in the kitchen to make things snappy. If you’re looking to spend more time outside like me, the good news is that there are kitchen tools and gadgets in Amazon’s summer favorite shop that can make preparing meals more efficient. Over 10,000 shoppers have already put them in their shopping carts, too. We’ve picked nine of our favorite items, including an OXO salad spinner, a Magic Bullet blender, and a Cuisinart ice cream maker, and prices start at just $8.

Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Amazon Orig. $100 $85 at Amazon There’s just nothing like homemade ice cream on a hot summer day.

Spring Chef Ice Cream Scoop Courtesy of Amazon Orig. $25 $10 at Amazon This Spring Chef ice cream scoop is the ideal accompaniment to that ice cream maker, and it’s 60% off if you grab it in black. It makes scooping ice cream a breeze. Its scoop has a curved design that creates a perfectly rounded scoop that sits nicely on a cone. Plus, its interior has grooves to keep the ice cream from sticking, so you don’t have to use a finger or spoon to push it out. The handle is soft and cushiony, and it has a notch at the end that can open the lid of the ice cream carton. It’s scored over 37,800 perfect ratings, and shoppers say it “cuts through ice cream right from the freezer like butter.” Snag it for $10 for those refreshing summer treats.

It’s exactly what I need to cut down on time in the kitchen during beautiful summer days. Yarramate Oil Sprayer Dispenser Bottle Amazon Orig. $16 $8 at Amazon This now-52% off olive oil dispenser bottle is another shopper-loved favorite with over 20,000 units flying off the shelves in the past month alone. It sports a wide-neck opening to make it easy to fill with your favorite oil, whether olive, avocado, or another option. But it’s the clever design that makes it so popular. It has a gravity sensor, so it knows when it’s being tilted or is upright. The sliding tab lets you use the pour spout, and the lever lets you spray a fine mist. “The mess-free design lets me pour or spray without any concerns about oily hands or surfaces,” writes one customer. Use it for all of your grilled vegetables this summer. It’s currently 52% off in creamy white, making it a hard deal to pass by.
