The Top 10 Things The Kitchn Readers Bought in 2024 (Including a Game-Changing Cleaning Tool)

Readers were super into Clearly Filtered's water pitcher this year, and we get it — making sure your drinking water is clean is important. This pitcher can help reduce more than 365 contaminants from unfiltered water. You'll need to change the filter regularly for maximum efficiency, but that's super easy with a replacement filter subscription. Plus, you get a 10 percent discount if you sign up for autoship.

If your home is particularly prone to dust, this thin duster might be the all-in-one cleaning solution you’ve been looking for. It’s perfect for hard-to-reach areas, like under the sofa, behind the washing machine, or around the toilet. Contributor Shifrah noted in her review of the duster that she's now able to clean under furniture without having to move it, and all for just $10.

Mason jars have so many uses beyond just canning food. You can use them as utensil caddies, beverage cups, gardening containers, ingredient storage, lunch containers — we’ve seen it all. And this past year, Ball re-released its fan-favorite kitchen essential in a new keepsake design for its 140th anniversary. Now you can enjoy your breakfast granola in a collectible!

This Nespresso espresso maker is perfect for small kitchens because it has a tiny footprint and a movable water tank that you can position to stay out of the way. The machine can brew five different cup sizes and is compatible with all pods in the Nespresso Vertuo line. Oh, and this is the coffee maker The Kitchn staffers use in the office every day, so you can trust when we say it's one of the best models out there.

Although it was a new addition to the brand’s lineup, Le Creuset's traditional round balti dish sold like hotcakes in 2024. Suited for everything from stews to stir-fry, it’s ideal for any meal that includes marinated meats and veggies. If you’ve been avoiding grabbing the brand's Dutch Oven because of its size, this one is a less weighty option.

This clever butter dish is unlike any other we've seen. Its flip-top lid is attached to the base, making it all one piece. As a result, the lid never touches your butter or the counter, and you don’t have to worry about where to set the lid. The dish also takes up minimal space thanks to its compact size, but it can still hold two regular sticks of butter. No wonder readers love it!

Multiple staffers came to love MìLà's frozen soup dumplings this year. Recently, the brand added these chicken potstickers to its product lineup, and they quickly became a hit with you. If you want a more sturdy alternative compared to the soup dumplings — there’s less chance of accidentally puncturing the skin — these are a solid bet. Plus, instead of steaming them in a basket, you can also toss them in a pan or boil them.

We love a good cabinet organizer. Each one in this set of two has sliding drawers and removable dividers, and at just under 9 inches tall, it’s compact enough to fit on most shelves. Cabinets aren’t the only place this set will come in handy, though. Place the organizers on your bathroom counter, fridge, vanity, and desk for quick tidying. That being said, they’ll probably be most useful in your kitchen, where they can wrangle canned food, snacks, coffee gear, spices, and more.

We're longtime fans of Momofuku's noodles and pantry staples. If you have yet to try anything from the brand, you can’t go wrong with the Bestseller Pack — after all, each of these items is a bestseller for a reason. In fact, we tested all of the included noodle flavors and couldn’t say enough good things to say about them. You’ll also get the editor-loved chili crunch topping, soy sauce, and seasoned salt to take your meal to the next level.

The ultimate all-in-one countertop appliance, this toaster oven from Panasonic lets you toast, bake, brown, and reheat and features a spacious interior despite its small footprint. Our reviewer Ian says it also works quickly and is super easy to clean. Amazon shoppers love it, too!
