Amazon is loaded with deals on top kitchen brands we love and trust, from Le Creuset Dutch ovens to all-clad stainless steel frying pans. There's a good reason why these tried-and-true brands are gaining traction, but Amazon is also full of small businesses with clever tools that help cooks save time and work smarter in the kitchen. In fact, Amazon has a dedicated storefront highlighting small businesses, filled with genius gadgets that shoppers will never get tired of, from razor-sharp citrus zesters to airtight glass containers. I'm happy to report that there is. Best of all, prices start at just $10.

Gerossi Stainless Steel Cheese Grater and Citrus Zester
A humble yet powerful citrus zester is a kitchen essential that will brighten up your weeknight dinners. The Gerossi zester is the perfect version of this tool, with a super-sharp stainless steel blade that allows you to grate a variety of things, not just citrus, such as parmesan cheese, spices, ginger, chocolate, nuts, and more.
