Cracked wooden spoons, dull vegetable peelers, and broken kitchen tongs can be frustrating to use—not to mention dangerous. With that in mind, we turned to Amazon to find some budget-conscious replacements from favorite brands like KitchenAid, OXO, and Cuisinart, starting at $5.

Kitchen shears come in handy for more than just removing packaging, and this KitchenAid model is one of the best we’ve tested. We’ve used it to cut through chicken carcasses, slice pizza, snip herbs, and cube beef. It’s also dishwasher-safe and includes a safety sheath for the sharp blades.

This clever gadget lets you spray the perfect amount of olive oil onto your salads or your skillet, but it also has a pouring feature for larger portions. The oil dispenser comes in several different colors to match your existing kitchen decor. Score it for under $10 at Amazon.

For just $9, you can add this 5-piece silicone spatula set to your kitchen. It includes different shapes and sizes for a wide range of kitchen tasks. Use the long scraper spatula to frost a cake, the spoon spatula to cook and serve, or the small spatula to get the last bit of peanut butter out of the jar.

Bamboo cutting boards are a less expensive alternative to regular wood that are also easy on your knife edge and can help reduce your exposure to microplastics. This Freshware set comes with three sizes ideal for prepping meals and serving cheese or charcuterie. 

When it comes to kitchen tools that should be replaced more often, vegetable peelers are easy to overlook. Most peelers have blades that are impossible to sharpen, so we suggest swapping your tool for a new one as soon as it gets dull or rusty. This OXO vegetable peeler is a shopper favorite with 8,400 five-star reviews at Amazon.

Earlywood’s handmade spatula is designed to replace multiple kitchen tools. It has a thin, flat edge that makes for simple stirring, flipping, and serving, while the durable wood construction is strong enough to break up ground beef in a cast iron skillet. Grab a pair of them to use as salad servers. 

Ditch your plastic cooking utensils or replace your old wooden set with these Zulay Kitchen spoons, now on sale for under $4 apiece. Each utensil is made from durable teak wood, and the set includes a salad spoon, salad fork, serving spoon, skimmer, spatula, and turner. 

This ultra-thin spatula has a flexible head that makes it easy to flip and serve burgers, pancakes, or fried eggs. It’s also heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and features a comfortable, padded grip. Plus, it’s made by OXO, so we know it will last a long time. 

If you prefer lightweight bamboo over nylon, plastic, or regular wood, try this $5 Cuisinart option. It’s safe to use on delicate surfaces like nonstick and ceramic cookware. With the complete set, you’ll also receive a slotted spoon for an extra $4.

Ina Garten says to replace your microplane zester every couple of years, and we found an Amazon favorite from her preferred brand for just $18. The small, sharp blades are great for zesting lemons or grating chocolate, and the handles are available in a range of attractive colors.  

Don’t wait until your kitchen tongs are in horrible condition to find a replacement. Certain tasks, like mixing salad and serving pasta, are much harder to do properly without them. This Gorilla Grip set is the best we’ve tested, thanks to its well-balanced, comfortable grip and scalloped tips that make it easy to pick up food. 

This Miu fish spatula is more versatile than it looks. It has a dishwasher-safe stainless steel construction and a non-slip silicone handle for easy flipping, whether it’s pancakes, burgers, or salmon fillets. The spatula is safe to use at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for searing ingredients in a hot pan.
