The Most “Multi” Gadget That Doesn’t Have “Multi” In Its Name
Dreamfarm Sharple Always Sharp Safety Peeler
This is basically an elegantly designed award-winning peeler. Oh, that's right. Every time you open and close the protective cover, the stainless steel blades sharpen themselves. That’s worth saying again. It sharpens itself. And again, Dreamfarm can not stop there. And this seems really small, because it actually is, they have added a little scoop or spade thingy at the tip of the Sharple to dig out imperfections in veggies or eyes in potatoes.
The Most “Multi” Gadget That Has “Multi” In Its Name
At first glance this is just an unorthodox spoon. There are no moving parts. There are no gears or inventive components that would require an engineer to develop.There is nothing that would require a product demo to wow you. Until you use it. You will come very close to asking yourself, “then why was the spoon invented this way?” and shortly after, “why are serving spoons and ladles shaped that way?” Simple answer. It does everything. Its shape is perfectly contoured to shape every pot, pan or bowl manufactured. And the comfortable Acacia wood handles are ergonomically contoured to fit the hand. We’re not saying it replaces EVERY spoon in your kitchen buuuut…
The Multi Awarded Gadget of the Year
The Fluicer was awarded one of TIME Magazine’s best inventions of 2023. The name FLuicer comes from the number one problem it solves. It’s a FLat jUICER. Up until the Fluicer, manual hand juicers were clunky and cumbersome. And you couldn’t store them in your standard drawer with the rest of your flatter utensils. The Fluicer folds and stores flat to solve that problem. It also has longer arms for levers that allow you to squeeze the juice from the fruit without so much stress on your wrist. Your forearms share the stress. The Fluicer comes in a perfectly sized and colored lime, lemon and orange.

The Most Multi-Colored Gadget of The Year
FinaMill Battery Pepper Mill & Spice Grinder in One
Okay color isn’t Finamill’s most useful trait but we’ve always said appearance matters in the kitchen. Especially if it’s going to sit on the countertop for an extended period of time. But color and style aside, the Finamill Grinder is an amazing must-have gadget for all home chefs planning on seasoning or spicing anything. It’s a pretty ingenious design. It’s a battery powered one hand-held mill that has detachable spice grinding pods. You just supply your favorite mill ground spices or peppercorns and the adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism turns them to any desired level of grind you desire.
The Most Multi-Ahhhhhhs Gadget of The Year
The Dreamfarm Scizza Pizza Cutter
This is another classic from Dreamfarm that makes you wonder why it wasn’t like this from the beginning. All rolling pizza cutters made a ton of sense until the Dreamfarm Scizza. It’s absolutely just like it sounds. It’s a pair of scissors that cut your pizza slices. And unlike the traditional rolling cutters, it’s job is not done. The lower blade is also a spatula-like shoe that allows you to lift and serve your slices. It’s also easier to clean, either by hand or dishwasher. So in classic Dreamfarm form, you will never look at pizza cutting the same again.
The Most Multi “Where Did Ya Get Thats” Gadget of The Year
UVI Self Heating Lunch Box with UV Light Sanitizer
So when you think of a lunch box you don’t necessarily think of high tech or non-ionizing light that has wavelengths between X-rays and visible light. Well think again. This “lunch box” has a self heating mechanism that allows you to heat up your food from refrigerator to hot-n-ready in under 25 mins. There is also an interior UV light that kills bacteria and viruses that can cause odor. And if you’ve ever opened a lunchbox full of broccoli or anything tuna, you will understand exactly why this was necessary.
