Super Bright Stick-On Light
This stick-on light is a simple yet effective As Seen on TV product. The light sticks right to walls and metal surfaces with no need for tools or wiring. The 200-lumen illumination is great for providing quick light where you need it, like inside a cabinet or closet, or even in the car or tent.
Amazon reviewers say this two-pack is the real deal.
“These are the brightest lights I’ve ever seen. They’re so bright, it’s almost blinding. It’s unbelievable. I definitely recommend getting these for whatever reason. I put one in my closet and it lights up my whole bedroom. They’re awesome!” Here’s what you need to know about smart light switches.
Slip Stone Cookware Nonstick Fry Pan
This As Seen on TV 10-inch fry pan promises to cook delicious food without the use of fat, oils or butter. The pan has a four-layer stone-like surface that ensures easy cleaning, so you can wipe the leftover food remnants away with ease instead of scrubbing.
“I bought a set of these pans for myself about a year and a half ago,” says an Amazon reviewer. “I love them for sauteing, cooking pancakes or eggs, reheating leftovers, you name it. I bought this pan for my daughter because her ‘non-stick’ pan was in terrible shape. (I don’t think any of the non-sticks last very long) but Slip Stone is going strong for me. Follow these rules and it will last a long time:
- Only use silicone or plastic utensils…never metal
- Use low to medium high heat…never highest heat
- You can use a little oil or butter…never, never, never non-stick spray (Pam).”
Potty Patch Turf
Whether you live in a high-rise building or your pup is prone to accidents, this Potty Patch turf makes life a little less messy. And, it’s odor resistant and easy to clean with just a rinse of soapy water.
“Our dog is now 5 and when we got her we tried everything to house train her! We were literally at our wits end! We got this and she immediately got on and pottied. They really last and I just wash it outside with dish soap and the water hose (a few of the little grass blades can come off so I don’t recommend in a sink or tub).” says a reviewer.

Big Top Cupcake Silicone Bakeware
This As Seen on TV product will make you a one-of-a-kind creation that’s 25 times bigger than your average cupcake. It consists of a two-piece mold that’s made of flexible, nonstick silicone. There’s also an easy-fill insert to make adding filling a breeze.

Flip Jack Pan
This nonstick pancake flipping pan uses ceramic nonstick coating to make perfectly sized pancakes for those Saturday morning brunches. You simply add the batter, close the lid and flip the pan. You can also use the pan to make perfect over-easy eggs and so much more.
Check out this Amazon reviewer’s tips for using the As Seen on TV product.
“I’ve used mine for a year…love it! Tips for perfect results every time:
- Spray cooking oil on both pans before use. This changed a marginal experience to a great one.
- When flipping it over, lift straight up, flip your wrist quickly in a 180 degree arc while still lifting (uses centrifugal force to keep the food on the lower pan until you have completed the flip), and lay the pan straight down on the burner. This method works EVERY time. No leakage, ever.
- When done, turn the pan back over and slide the food onto your plate with a quick sideways jerk. It just slides onto the plate so sweetly because of the cooking spray. Never sticks this way.
No need for a spatula. I’ve cooked eggs, french toast, toasted cheese sandwiches, and eggs Mcmuffin many times.”
