I'm shopping around for a food processor. Something that does it all.

What do you suggest and , while on the topic, what other kitchen tools are in your arsenal?

Never heard of it. Just looked it up. Looks like it does a fine job if all you need is a simple food processor for meals at home.

Mine is this stainless steel garlic press by Rosle:

At $31 it's pricey, sure, but it will last a lifetime.

It's so easy to clean, I don't mind using it for just 1 or 2 cloves.

31 bucks for that little thing? What exactly does it do that I can't do with a knife and a cutting board?

For me, it's quicker and gives a nice fine uniform mince.

This and a steel to keep a sharp edge. (I also have to keep my wife away from it to maintain the sharpness....those people don't know what a sharp knife is!)

I've got a wooden spoon that came with my wife's birthday gift of a cookie basket 15 years ago. That spoon has a flat edge on one side. I don't know why.

I use it for making rouxs because a metal spoon makes a scraping noise and my wife is a day sleeper. The wooden spoon is almost silent.

One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my immersion blender. I use it far more than I thought I would.

I also have a very smaller electric chopping device that I use a lot for herbs and garlic if I don't feel like chopping them or need them very fine. Works really well for mincing fresh rosemary which I don't like chopping when I want it chopped finely.

I used to have a set of olive wood spoons that were the tit for doing practically everything that did not involve a knife. The heat never seemed to effect them in any way.

I second BruslyTiger...

I get the most use out of my Stand Mixer. I use the Food Processor next.

My blender hasn't done anything but make Margaritas and a rotel/cream cheese dip in years.

I use a stick blender and a spice mill/coffee grinder some, but the big two are stand mixer and food processor if it uses electricity.

True. I leave the spoon in the hot roux while cutting veggies. When I get back to stir the handle is always cool.
