Give Mom a Break: Time-Saving Kitchen Tools She’ll Love
Celebrate Mother’s Day with time-saving kitchen tools that let Mom sit back while the magic happens. No lifting a finger required.
The Only Thing Mom Should Lift This Month? A Mimosa.
Raise your hand if your mama, meemaw, or matriarch has ever said, “Don’t worry, I’ve got it.” And then whipped up a 3-course meal while simultaneously folding laundry, answering texts, and making sure everyone had a fork.
This May, we’re flipping the script.
Whether you’re planning a pampering brunch, a week of no-cook nights, or just want to show the kitchen queen in your life a little love, we’ve rounded up time-saving, stress-reducing, and finger-lifting-free tools that say: “Sit down, Mama. We got this.”
Why This Month’s Theme Is All About Mom
With Mother’s Day landing May 11th, and Tupperware’s new sales month launching May 1st, it’s the perfect storm of pampering and practicality.
This month’s spotlight is on:
- No-fuss tools that make prepping a breeze
- Time-saving tricks that reduce clean-up
- Gifts that keep on giving with every meal made
Let’s dive into the kitchen magic that makes doing less look like doing more.
1. SuperSonic Chopper: Brunch in a Blink
She shouldn’t have to cry over onions or wrestle with the food processor. The SuperSonic Chopper makes fresh salsa, omelet fillings, or berry compote happen with a few easy pulls ~ no plugs, no noise, no stress.
💡 Grub Scout Hack: Make a Mother’s Day brunch board with chopped fruit, mini pancakes, and yogurt parfaits ~ prep time: 10 minutes or less.
2. MicroPro® Grill: The Lazy Cook’s Dream
Mom deserves crispy, golden, oven-style meals ~ without preheating anything. The MicroPro Grill bakes, browns, and grills right in the microwave. Think grilled cheese, chicken breasts, and even cobbler ~ no flipping required.
🧡 Perfect Pairing: Serve it up with a FridgeSmart® side salad that stayed crisp all week long. Now that’s a low-lift meal.
3. Freeze It, Forget It, Flaunt It
Want to surprise her with a week of ready-to-go meals? Use the Freezer Mates or Vent N Serve® sets to portion out gumbo, chili, or even banana pudding. Stack ‘em up, label with a Sharpie, and tell her not to lift a spoon unless it’s to eat.
📦 Bonus Points: Sneak in sweet notes on the lids. “This meal brought to you by: Team Mom Appreciation.”
4. Eco+ Sip, Sip, Hooray
Even hydration can feel fancy when it’s in a sleek Eco+ Bottle. Made from circular recycled plastic and easy on the hands, it’s a thoughtful nod to her everyday health and the planet. Add a few lemon slices or strawberries and suddenly she’s drinking spa water in the living room.
🌍 Eco-Friendly Reminder: Every refill is one less plastic bottle in the landfill.
5. Let Tonie Handle It
When even deciding what’s for dinner is too much, that’s where Tonie the Kitchen Scout steps in. She’s your digital sous-chef inside the Chowline Recipe Club emails, delivering no-recipe-required meal ideas straight to your inbox.

Make May the Month of “Mom Off Duty”
Here’s your mission, should you choose to accept it:
- Don’t just hand Mom a gift ~ hand her time back.
- Use kitchen tools that serve with speed and style.
- Let her know her job is officially to sit back, relax, and maybe supervise with a mimosa in hand.
