They're comfortable to hold, which is nice when shredding 10 to 20 pounds of pork for a party. I also use one claw when carving meat. I stick one claw into the meat to hold it steady while I carve with a knife, works much better than trying to use a fork...” They’re also great for mixing salads or lifting a turkey out of the roasting pan.

Amazon shoppers can’t get enough of this product, with one reviewer calling it a “game changer," saying "I barely feel it on my face. I'm not sucking in my mask gasping for air. My mask isn't moist against my face anymore, and my speech is clearer, too."

Never deal with a clogged shower drain again. (Photo: Amazon)

Does your hair always clog your bathtub drain? This brilliant hair catcher is an Amazon bestseller, and it’s about to change your life (and save you money on plumbers' visits). The genius of the TubShroom lies in its brilliant design. Due to its cylindrical “mushroom” shape, you don’t actually see any of the hair, soap or residue buildup until you’re ready to clean it. The product is made of silicone, so it’s flexible and easily fits in a variety of drains. Water passes through, but hair gets caught, wrapping around the tube. Now and then, just pull it out, clean it (the hair comes off easily) and put it back in place.

One satisfied reviewer says, "After having used the TubShroom for a while I can finally say my search for a solution has ended. It's simple, it works, and when you step on it by accident it just squishes flat instead of trying to impale you like the spiky things do. Cleaning is simpler, too. Just remove it and pull the hair off the bottom."
