That season is here again. The one where we slow down, look around, and remind ourselves to be grateful for the small wins and the big joys. Turkey or no turkey, fancy feast or something simple, the day has always been about taking a moment to appreciate what we have.
With that same spirit, it feels right to tip our hats to Shark Tank, too. The show has brought so many handy kitchen and food products into our lives that we now rely on them without even thinking.
Over the years, Shark Tank has introduced us to a wide range of smart food and cooking gadgets that can upgrade the way we prep, cook, and enjoy our meals. Some help with chopping and seasoning. Others make hosting less stressful or keep leftovers from turning into a disaster.
Shark Tank Products For Thanksgiving
If you’re hosting, cooking, or just hanging out in the kitchen, these Shark Tank finds can take some of the stress out of the day and make Thanksgiving feel more relaxed.
7. Perfect Parchment
Appeared on: Shark Tank Season 3 Episode 7.
Thanksgiving desserts are always a highlight, but the cleanup that follows rarely feels as sweet. Pans end up coated with baked-on bits, and using oil or trimming regular parchment often creates new headaches.
Perfect Parchment from The Smart Baker fixes that problem in the simplest way possible. Each sheet is already sized for your pan, so there’s no cutting, no folding, and no struggling with paper that won’t stay flat. Some styles even include little tabs that let you lift your treats out in one smooth pull.
The founders didn’t walk away with a deal on Shark Tank, but the product still stands on its own. If you love baking and want to skip the scrubbing afterward, these pre-cut sheets make the whole process easier and a lot less messy.
6. Anytongs
Appeared on: Shark Tank Season 14 Episode 13
Thanksgiving meals can feel like organized chaos, especially when the food is laid out buffet style. The dishes are ready, everyone’s hungry, and then it hits you. The serving tongs are nowhere to be found. And in a big family, the lone pair you own disappears fast.
Anytongs solves that problem in a clever way. They snap onto a fork or spoon and instantly turn it into a set of serving tongs. No digging through drawers and no shortage of tools. Just grab the silverware you already have and turn it into something useful on the spot.
Anytongs are just as great when you’re taking a dish to someone else’s house. Instead of packing extra utensils, just throw Anytongs into your bag. Fix them up with whatever fork or spoon is available, and you’ve got a ready-to-go serving tool in seconds.
5. Frywall
Appeared on: Shark Tank Season 9 Episode 15.
Fried food is always a crowd-pleaser, but the splatter that comes with it can ruin the fun. Frywall sits on the edges of your pan like a flexible guard, blocking hot oil from popping out and keeping your counters clean.
Its main objective is to help you avoid those painful little burns that come with frying from all the oil bursting out like a volcano.
When Yair Reiner introduced Frywall on Shark Tank in 2018, Lori Greiner saw how practical it was and jumped on board. Since then, the tool has landed in a lot of home kitchens and made frying much less stressful.
4. The Wine Balloon (Now Air Cork)
Appeared on: Shark Tank Season 3 Episode 4
A holiday spread often includes a mix of wines, and everyone seems to reach for something different. By the end of the night, you’re left with several open bottles that won’t stay fresh for long. The Air Cork helps keep that leftover wine tasting the way it should, instead of turning dull after a day or two.
Eric Corti walked into season 3 of Shark Tank with this idea. A small balloon that sits inside the bottle and protects the wine from excess air. The deal he got on TV didn’t stick, but he kept building the product on his own.
The tool works by lowering a soft balloon into the bottle and inflating it just enough to rest against the inside. This reduces how much air hits the wine and helps keep its flavor intact. It’s quick to use and adds a little charm with its grape-shaped pump.
This simple gadget can help you avoid waste and keep your bottles a bit more enjoyable longer.
3. Turbo Trusser
Appeared on: Shark Tank Season 14 Episode 2
Turkey tends to be the star of the table, but getting it to cook evenly can be a challenge, no matter how you prepare it. Some families roast, others fry or smoke. Bottom line is that each method has its own pros and cons. The biggest nuisance of all is to evenly cook the bird.
Turbo Trusser fills in to fix exactly this inconvenience. Instead of wrestling with a string or trying to tie everything together just right, this tool locks the legs and wings in place. This, in turn, helps the turkey hold its shape, which leads to better browning and a more tender finished result.
The handy part is that it works with almost any cooking setup (oven, smoker, fryer, and grill).
2. Boarderie
Appeared on: Shark Tank Season 14 Episode 7
The early part of Thanksgiving Day can feel a little empty without something to snack on. A few small bites can ease everyone into the day, spark conversation, and take some pressure off the host and their en route turkey. That’s where Boarderie fits in.
Boarderie delivers fully arranged cheese and charcuterie boards straight to your door. You can choose the exact day they arrive. You can pick the delivery date, choose from different themes and sizes, and even customize certain options.
If you’re heading to someone else’s home instead of hosting, bringing one of these boards makes things easier for everyone. When founders Aaron Menitoff and Rachel Solomon introduced the company on Shark Tank, it was a no-brainer deal for the Queen of QVC. Lori invested $300,000 for 9% equity.
1. Cup Board Pro
Appeared on: Shark Tank Season 10 Episode 22
A lot of Thanksgiving stress doesn’t come from the meal itself, but from everything that happens before it. The grocery runs, the nonstop chopping, the bowls piling up in the sink. By the time the big day arrives, the prep alone can feel like a full-time job.
The Cup Board Pro helps lighten that load. It was created by Keith Young, a firefighter who cared as much about cooking as he did about efficiency in the kitchen. After he passed away in 2018, his three kids brought his invention to Shark Tank to carry his idea forward. In a rare display of unity, the Sharks teamed up to support the product.
The cutting surface of the board has a groove that holds a removable tray. As you slice, you can push scraps straight into the tray instead of letting them scatter across the counter. It keeps the mess under control and makes prep work smoother.
Holiday prep can pile up fast, and anything that cuts the stress even a little is definitely worth having around.
