If you worry about slicing your fingers while chopping vegetables, then you may want to look into this product. The Orblue All-in-One Onion Holder allows you to keep food in place without using your hands. This fork-like instrument sticks into vegetables and divides your food into perfectly even slices.

Although the holder is marketed toward onions, you can use it for tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, carrots — any vegetable that's big enough. If you want a hands-free vegetable cutter, you can get the Mueller Onion Chopper. It works like a waffle iron and dices your onion with a single press.

If you've prepared veggies before, you know the drill: You have to chop the food, strain them to get rid of the tiny bits, and carry handfuls to the pan or tray. Typically, you'd need several tools to pull all of this off. But why not save counter space by using one tool?

ADVERTISEMENT

The Rinse & Chop board is a cutting board, holder, and colander all in one. The board folds slightly so you can rinse your vegetables without moving them to a colander. Then, you can swiftly transfer the veggies to a bowl, pot, pan, or tray. And it's only $15 on Amazon!

Have you ever dreamed about driving a vehicle Flintstones-style using only your legs? While we may not have people-powered cars, the German company FLIZ launched a person-powered bike. According to its designers, the pedal-less bike was based on Baron Karl Dreis' Velocipede, the precursor to our modern bicycle.

How does this bike make life easier? Well...it doesn't, really. Unless you want to run more, a pedal-less bike simply allows you to pedal less. You'll also feel like you're flying when you lift your legs off of the ground. And it's guaranteed to turn heads.
