I prefer wine keys. Much easier imo.

I don't really have many gadgets I use though. I use the anova often.

Cheese slicer. Mine is similar to this one, but the "spatula" part of it is squared off and has little teeth on the end as well.



I had one of those big 4 sided graters, and one side had a slicer on it that I used to use all the time. But it was curved. I end up grabbing this little hand held slicer most of the time. Except for the largest blocks of cheese, it is wide enough to make quick consistent cuts. The best thing is I didn't buy it. It was in a box of kitchen stuff I brought home from my grandparents house after cleaning it out. So it is something they used for years and is pretty stout. I would have never bought one or even thought about it.

Not a gadget but a cast iron skillet. I didn't think I needed one until I got it. Now I probably use it more than anything else in the kitchen

I used to be a one trick pony in the kitchen. I only needed a Dutch oven.

Pizza stone. Never saw the need it but now use it all the time, and not just for pizza. It stays in the oven.

Chopped salads are just great.
