8 Amazon Releases That Will Save Your Precious Time

If you’re a serial procrastinator, it’s high time you tried the Pomodoro technique! Francesco Cirillo invented this method when he was a student and used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to organize his studies. What you need to do is set a 25-minute interval for a task and take a 5-minute break when the time is up. Make sure to take longer breaks (15–30 minutes) every 4 Pomodori, and you’re set.

And while you’re on a time-saving mission, you might wanna check out these cool products that can help as well.

1. A healthy meal in minutes: prepare tasty microwaved potatoes using this gadget.

A medium-sized potato takes about 5–10 minutes to get ready. Add any toppings you like, and the meal is ready! You can also use the device for cooking corn, shellfish, and more.

Promising review:

Once you understand how long your microwave will take to cook baked potatoes, you will love this. It is so easy to use; it saves you time; there is no mess to clean up; it is dishwasher-safe; and your potatoes come out beautifully cooked. Just put your potatoes inside and snap the side levers closed. No need to add water or poke holes in the potatoes. The baked potato pot is a clear plastic made of environmentally friendly, non-toxic food-grade silicone and is BPA-free.
We cooked 2 little potatoes for 3 minutes in the baked potato pot, and they were undercooked. 3 1/2 minutes should do the trick next time. You just have to work around your own microwave, but this product does work. I love how the potatoes look when done — none of that squishy look after using a wet paper towel. You can also use it for baked sweet potatoes, potato salad, potato skins, etc. —

2. This innovatively designed space-saving tray makes perfectly formed and hard ice cubes that are easy to get out.

You can just slap the ice cubes out of the tray with the help of the lid, which features special pointy peaks that do the job. And any leftover cubes can be conveniently stored in the bin for future use. The product comes with a handy ice scoop and a utensil.

Promising review:

Our ice maker in our freezer is not working, so I decided to give this a try until we can get it fixed. I grew up with the old ice cube trays that were very big and stiff, and it was hard to get the ice cubes out. This one is great. The cubes are small, which I like because they freeze faster.
I like that it doesn’t take up too much space in my freezer, too. It is quite easy to get the cubes out of the trays when they are frozen. It comes with a white tray with spikes, which you can use to push the cubes out. I find it just as easy to push them with my fingers. I am a lot more pleased with this than I thought I would be.
We have a lemon tree that produces more lemons than we could use. This year I plan on using this tray to freeze small cubes of lemon, so I have lemon juice for my cooking year-round. — QueenBee

Who doesn’t like corn dogs? I got this for my husband’s inner child; it’s cute, easy to use, and takes less time to make than waiting for the oven to heat and then bake. And a lot less expensive, and they taste better than store-bought. — Kyle Cavener

Promising review:

I love this egg cooker! Cooks the eggs to perfection. I did the trial-and-error thing a couple of times, and I can now cook two large eggs to medium yoke (slightly runny) in 2 minutes and 15 seconds. The pics are the same eggs, just flipped over on the plate. I also put a micro-smidgen of butter to line the cups, and the eggs glided out easily!
Cleans up easily as well. Finally, found the perfect microwave egg cooker! Buy this one and give it a few tries to perfect your own eggs! — nicunurse
