Americans spend more than $70 billion a year on housewares, but which new kitchen gadgets will make dinnertime simpler? Rachael sends a few products to busy moms to test in our latest "Human Lab"!

Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker "We cook pasta in this house six days a week," says mother-of two Vivian. Her young boys love macaroni and spaghetti, but not the time it takes to boil water and prep these dishes. "Cooking quickly and fast is very important when you've got a 2 1/2 year old screaming!" She tries the Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker, which claims to cook pasta to al dente perfection in half the usual cooking time.

Eggstractor Egg Peeler Hard boiled eggs are the favored dish in Jocelyn's house, but that means she must peel a lot of eggs! The shells don't always come off so easily, so we ask her to test the Eggstractor Egg Peeler, which claims to perfectly peel any egg. Jocelyn is excited to give it a try: "I would love to find a way to peel the egg easily each time without getting frustrated and most of all not losing the egg and wasting food!"

EZ Peel Gloves "I'm always peeling potatoes, yams, carrots, cucumbers, it would be great if I could find a peeler that was very user friendly!" says 36-year-old Tracy. She enjoys cooking for her family, but has not had the best experiences with her peelers. "By the time I'm done, my hands are all red!" We have her try Instant Peel Gloves from Handy Gourmet.
