So Sharp 'I Sliced My Finger Open': This $20 Chef's Knife Is A Best-Kept Secret

A splatter guard to prevent grease buildup on the stove

I used to think mopping up grease after making bacon was just part of the deal — until I went to my sister’s house for chili and my brother-in-law introduced me to a splatter guard.

It seemed like one of those frivolous tools you probably don’t need, but once you try it, you get the hype. Now I can cook without worrying about grease ending up all over my stovetop (and everything around it). Goodbye, post-cooking mopping sessions.

While I love the functionality of the Le Creuset one that I own — the handle folds down for storage and it's equipped with a rubber rim that keeps the screen in place — this pared-down option from Amazon is less than $10 and has over 30,000 ratings.
