One pot meals! Kind of like a crockpot but can sauté. I have one not pictured, but this is similar or may even be more advanced.
Multicooker
Idk why but these are so much better. They are plastic sadly, but you can reuse them. Doesn’t have to be for food either. Can be used for on the go for kids as well. Doesn’t spill.
