What is your Favorite Kitchen Gadget?

Yeah juicers are a lot of hassle

Vitamix is a pretty killer blender

I find I get a lot of use out of my microplane lately. More of a utensil than a gadget but whatever

Probably my electric can opener. At least its my most used gadget. Only problem is after a year or so of use they don't open as well as when new. I have sharpened blades and tried several things to inprove performance but I usually just have to buy a new one. Anyone know of the best can opener?

I love my rice cooker. Use it probably weekly.

I was thinking just this morning that the one thing I absolutely could not do without in my kitchen is the lowly paper towel.

and her Kitchen aid "Slap Chop" are probably my SO's favorites.

I prefer the grill more and more these days.

I had an electric can opener on the counter for years. Then I realized that I don't eat canned stuff enough to justify the space that it takes. So, I threw it out and bought hand operated opener that I can just throw in the drawer. I only use it once a week.

I've got a Chef'n Veggichop that I use all the time. It's better than an electric one because it doesn't puree whatever you're trying to chop.

i have the mini ninja chopper, works very good and only cost about $20

I use my instant-read meat thermometer a lot as well. I haven't overcooked a single piece of meat since I purchased it.
