“I love making stews and soups, but I don’t love chopping herbs,” sighs Melissa D’Agnese, FIRST senior editor. “So I flipped for this cactus-shaped herb infuser. Fill it with your favorite herbs and toss into the soup pot—tons of flavor sans the chopping!” (Cactus Herb Infuser, $14 for a set of 2, Walmart.com)
