The $18 Amazon Find That Turns Your Stovetop into Extra Storage (No Tools Required!)

Even though I’ve recently upgraded to a kitchen that’s double the size of my previous one, it’s hard to break out of the small kitchen mindset, which means that I’ll always opt for a space-saving hack, even if it’s not totally needed. Why wouldn’t I make room where I can? Whether it’s a device that wrangles my pans in my cabinet, an organizer that gets my soda cans in order in the fridge, or a handy contraption to hang my dishcloth on in the sink, I’ll always consider these kinds of products splurge-worthy. (Regardless of if my kitchen is or isn’t lacking in square footage!)

I thought I’d seen just about every kind of ingenious kitchen organizer under the sun until I came across this $18 gadget that turns the top of your stove into usable storage space. If you’re just as intrigued as I was, read on for all of the details on how it works — and why it’s a must-have organizer that you never knew you needed.

If you’re not a fan of counters cluttered with kitchen caddies, yet you still want your spices and cooking oils in an easy-to-reach location, look no further than Hydream’s stovetop shelf. It’s made of silicone, which prevents it from heating up, and it sticks to a flat metal surface securely thanks to the eight magnets that cover the underneath portion. The silicone, as opposed to metal, also keeps whatever you put on it from slipping off to the side or behind the stove — there’s even a raised edge around the border to help this along. And, as simple as it is to set up, it’s just as convenient to remove for cleaning in the dishwasher.

“Love the look on my stove. We’ve been able to free up some cabinet space in a small kitchen because of these. They are heavy duty but super easy to clean!” — Jennifer

“Exactly what I needed. It worked great. I was hesitant to get it because I have a two inch gap behind my stove but the bottom is sturdy and everything fit perfect.” — vsalazar22

“I needed ones that weren’t one long shelf because our over light switch is located at the top of our stove so one long shelf piece wouldn’t work. These ones work great for us! It over hangs just a tad but doesn’t get in the way or tip over!” — Amazon Customer

Maybe you’re a home cook that appreciates conveniently located ingredients or you’d like to free up space in a cabinet where your seasonings are stowed away — in either case, you can’t beat this no-frills organizer, especially when it’s priced at only $18.
