When the summer heat hits, the last thing I want to do is spend hours prepping food, washing dishes, or standing over a hot stove. My top priorities are simple: little prep, fewer dishes, and (most importantly) delicious results. That’s why I was so excited to try out a handful of QVC products that promised to keep things cool, easy, and tasty—and they absolutely delivered.

Easy, No-Fuss Sides and Snacks


One of my favorite discoveries this season was the Kansas City Steak Co. (12) 5-oz Twice Baked Potatoes. These potatoes were the perfect side dish to an easy grilled steak night. I loved that they came individually packaged so I could heat up just a couple for dinner and save the rest for another day. They tasted rich and creamy, with zero effort on my part.

For snacking, I couldn’t get enough of the Lesser Evil (6) 4.6oz Bags Cheezy Crunchy Snack Assortment. Not only were they delicious and ready to share, but the clean ingredients made me feel good about serving them to friends and family. When I wanted something warm and comforting, I turned to The Pretzel Co. (10) 4.5oz Hand Twisted Soft Baked Pretzel Braids. These were so easy to heat and serve, perfect for entertaining or a quick midday snack.

Cool Kitchen Helpers


Staying out of the heat while still enjoying summer’s best foods was a breeze with these kitchen gadgets.


The Prepology Set of 2 Stainless Steel Watermelon Slicers honestly changed the way I cut watermelon forever. Instead of wrestling with a giant knife, this tool created perfect bite-sized cubes in half the time—and with half the mess. I especially loved that the set comes with two; I kept one for myself and already gifted the second to a friend.

And then there’s the Ninja CREAMi 7-in-1 Frozen Treat Maker w/ Extra Pints. Talk about endless possibilities! The included recipe book inspired me to turn leftover bananas into a one-ingredient sorbet that tasted like a treat from the ice cream shop. I also experimented with milkshakes, sorbets, and I even have frozen oranges waiting in the freezer for my next creation. It’s been the most fun way to cool off while indulging in something sweet.


Breakfast, Upgraded


The Dash Ultimate Express Egg Cooker w/ Egg Bite Tray makes breakfast quick and easy. Whether I want hard or soft-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, or even an omelet, it does it all with no guesswork. I just set my preferred doneness, and the automatic shut-off prevents overcooking. I’ve even started making my own Starbucks-style egg bites at home. Clean-up is easy since the trays are dishwasher-safe, and everything is compact enough to store without taking over my counter.

Final Thoughts


These QVC products turned my summer cooking into something I actually look forward to. From indulgent twice-baked potatoes to homemade frozen treats and easy egg breakfasts, I’ve been able to enjoy delicious results with minimal effort.


This summer, staying cool in the kitchen has never been easier—or tastier!
