As a blogger and Amazon Influencer, I receive a selection of kitchen and household items to try. When I try something I love I like to share my finds with my readers.
I especially love household items that make our lives easier as we age. And I’m not talking about commode chairs or toilet rails that are sometimes offered to me just because I’m a senior. I’m talking about fun stuff to use to cook, clean, relax and enjoy.
Below are several items I was impressed with. Let me know what you think of them in the comments below this post.
Cold Brew Coffee Maker Heavy Duty Mason Jar
I love a great pot of cold brew and want to drink more iced green tea. I was looking for a small pitcher to chill in my fridge and found this heavy-duty mason jar cold brew /iced tea set. It was exactly what I was looking for.
First off, I love mason jars and think they are cool! This one is made with heavy glass so it’s extra sturdy. It has a filter that you can insert to hold coffee grounds, loose tea, or tea bags. Fill it with water and stick it in your fridge for several hours. There are instructions in the box on how to make the best coffee or tea.
It’s super simple, comes with two types of spout lids, and will fit most refrigerators.

Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker
If you experience gut issues, it helps to eat more foods with probiotics including yogurt. But not all store-bought yogurt has the probiotics we need. I got to try out the Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker and made homemade yogurt with probiotics and prebiotics I chose myself.
Watch my video to see how it works.
You can use a yogurt starter or your favorite probiotic capsules. It was so easy and takes about 36 hours. 8 jars come in the box, but you can also use other containers. My yogurt turned out great and I will be making lots more.

Homemade Salad Dressing Blender
Mix your homemade salad dressing easily with this nifty Emulstir blender by Chef’n. It has a pump stirring mechanism that perfectly blends your ingredients. That way it’s ready to go when you need it. Twist the top slightly to drizzle the dressing on your salad without it splashing.
It seals completely so it does not leak and is an attractive item to place on your table when guests come for dinner.

Bissell Crosswave FloorWave Floor and Area Rug Cleaner
If you are tired of wringing out an old-fashioned mop, you will love this Bissell Floor and Area Rug Cleaner. It delivers the perfect amount of water to your floor and dries almost immediately so you have no danger of slipping. This lightweight device has a hard floor and rug mode and both do an excellent job cleaning.
Clean area rugs easily without clogging up your washing machine.
When you’re done, empty the water container until the next time.

Magnaware Cast Aluminum 5 Quart Dutch Oven
Do you love cast iron but it’s too heavy to lift? Cast Aluminum cookware is safe to use and much lighter to carry. Magnaware makes a gorgeous Dutch Oven that is big enough to cook a roast or even a whole chicken. It’s great for stews and other Dutch oven recipes. You can even bake bread in it! Magnaware Dutch ovens are oven-safe up to 450 degrees.
Oxidation on Aluminum is natural and it’s best not to use it with highly acidic foods like lemon or tomato.

HexClad Hybrid Cookware
HexClad cookware has been endorsed by Chef Gordon Ramsey. It is a brand known for its innovative hybrid design with unique hexagonal patterns on the surface. It is non-stick with stainless steel surfaces with an aluminum core for even heat distribution. Cook at a slightly lower temperature than normal.
It is compatible with gas, ceramic, and electric cooktops. The stainless steel is resistant to scratches even using metal utensils. The skillet and glass top I demonstrated are sleek in design, easy to clean, and will cook food beautifully. The non-stick surface is non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals.

Belwares Large Plastic Cutting Board
Are you using a wooden cutting board for items like meat? Bacteria can grow easily so it’s best to have a separate cutting board made of easy-to-clean plastic.
Belwares large cutting board has a juice groove and can be used on both sides. It’s dishwasher safe, non-porous, and BPA-free.
The board is white, with black handles on each side, and is an attractive item to have in your kitchen.
