What's your favorite kitchen gadget?

[Michelle1]

What's the kitchen gadget/device(s) that you couldn't do without or that you love most?

For me I think it's the rice cooker. Yes, I could make rice on the stove, but it's so much easier to do in the rice cooker!

 

[Pickle Juice]

My mandoline. I love making paper-thin slices of tomatoes and cucumbers especially, but it is great for all kinds of fruits and veggies.

Garlic press. Because slicing garlic into tiny pieces with a knife is a pain in the neck.

 

[Forster]

Do not make me pick a favorite, it's kinda like asking someone to pick which is their favorite child, lol.

Magic Bullet blender.

ETA: I have to add my microwave, electric tea kettle, and toaster oven since I use all of them every single day.

 

[Rosie1]

Right now, probably my blender. Gotta have the smoothies!

I don't have/use many kitchen gadgets, but I like a good sharp knife.

Can opener. Can't open cans without it.

My immersion blender.
I use it mostly for smoothies, but occasionally for things that use soft tofu that need to be very smoothly blended.

 

[Lord Snot]

I don't use anything fancy at all. A can opener is about as technical as I get

oh wait I forgot this one....my fave kitchen gadget is the person in the kitchen with me...the one doing the actual cooking...hehe...total hoot and a half!!

peace, love and laughter

I have to pick just one? Hmm. Lately I've been loving my food processor, because I've been making lots of pesto.

 

[AlmandineSky]

Definitely my vitamix!

Followed by a can opener and a hand held beater. I have an immersion blender but I rarely use it lately.

Love my immersion blender, couldn't make my split pea or black bean soup w/o it... well I suppose I could dump them in my regular blender, but not nearly so handy.

 

[Forster]

My best money/time saving kitchen gadget probably is my soyajoy soy/nut milk maker. I make a gallon-gallon and a half with it each week.

 

[IamJen]

Forster...is it very difficult/time consuming to use the Soyajoy?

 

[SuicideBlonde]

I am in love with using a gas stove. Sister's stove is awesome!

 

[RabbitLuvr]

I have so many gadgets, I can't pick one!
In the winter, my go-to-gadget is definitely my immersion blender. So great for soups!

My toaster oven gets a lot of use in the summer for baking small things. So great to not heat up the whole house with the regular oven.
