Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase. Amazon If you’re anything like me, getting your kitchen to a comfortable, operable space usually means crossing «buy kitchen supplies» forever off your to-do list. But, sometimes we could all benefit from going a bit beyond the strict basics — and upgrades you can technically live without (but which might make everyday life that much easier) are worth their comparatively low cost. With that in mind, here are nearly 40 helpful kitchen upgrades you can find on Amazon right now — and each for $30 or less. If any of them could improve your kitchen experience or lend some convenience to your life, you probably won’t find yourself regretting the expense. Below are the 38 of the best kitchen upgrades you can make for $30 or less on Amazon: 1/ A lemon and lime squeezer Amazon Lemon Squeezer Hend Held Juicer, $9.45 Use this two-in-one lemon and lime squeezer to get the most juice from your citrus quickly and effectively. The aluminum is non-toxic and long-lasting, and the built-in seed strainer will keep seeds out of your food and drinks. 2/ A vented, collapsible microwave cover Amazon Tovolo Vented, Easy-Grip, Collapsible Microwave Cover, $7.99 Instead of cleaning up constant microwave splatter with paper towels, consider upgrading to a vented, collapsible microwave cover.

It’s a great way to save yourself a daily $3-$5 habit without kicking the luxury. 5/ A rice rooker and food steamer Amazon Aroma Housewares 8-Cup Digital Cool-Touch Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, $29.92 If you buy healthy, cost-effective rice but let it sit in the pantry night after night because you don’t want to spend the time cooking it afan , this one is for you. The inexpensive rice cooker and food steamer can take some of the heavy lifting out of eating healthy and let you focus on just buying the good groceries. 6/ Reversible cutting boards that won’t dull or harm knives Amazon GORILLA GRIP Original Reversible Cutting Board, 3-Piece, $17.29 Three reversible, dishwasher-safe, BPA-free cutting boards that won’t dull or harm knives are a godsend, especially if you plan to chop up a good amount of ingredients at the same time.

It doesn’t take up a ton of countertop space, and you’ll never need to boil eggs in a pot again. 10/ A swivel peeler Amazon OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler, $8.99 If you’d prefer to master that swooping, one-gesture peel, a swivel peeler can help make the process faster and more efficient without as much risk of hurting yourself. 11/ Mesh food covers for eating outside or protecting plants from bugs Amazon Simply Genius Mesh Food Tents, 6-Pack, $13.49 Planning on eating outside?
