countertop gadget
Small cooking tool
A countertop gadget is a small kitchen appliance or tool designed to sit on a counter rather than be stored away: The kitchen was cluttered with countertop gadgets—an air fryer, a blender, an Instant Pot.
The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting something that promises convenience but takes up valuable space.
