The Coolest Alexa Skills You Need to Try Out With Your Amazon Echo Device

Make food shopping and cooking a lot more seamless with the Echo Show 8 (1st Gen) ($70, originally $110). You can create shopping lists so you never forget to grab last-minute additions at the grocery store. In fact, you can ask Alexa to directly order whatever you need from Amazon and Whole Foods. If you need an ETA on your online orders, ask "Alexa, where's my stuff?"

Unleash your inner Food Network star and cook up a storm by simply saying "Alexa, show me cooking classes from Food Network Kitchen" or "Alexa, show my saved recipes from Food Network Kitchen."

Don't want to cook? Simply say "Alexa, what Chinese restaurants are nearby?," "Alexa, find restaurants that deliver," or "Alexa, open Domino's and place an order" for easy takeout.
