Cooking gadgets

I like my flat tip spoon (roux spoon)
A good white whisk, not that plastic coated BS.
A nice big spatula for flipping fish and using on my blackstone
I like my Immersion Blender
A Sous Vide Machine is under $75 and you get nice results

I like my Immersion Blender

---

A solid second on the immersion blender. I use it a few times a month when making cream soups. Beats taking the soup out of the pot and putting it into a blender or food processor and dirtying another big appliance.

A good non-stick coated pan for eggs and omelets that you can flip without a spatula.

Sharpening stone with 2 sides, one finer than the other for keeping knives sharp.

Heat diffusers to go under your big pots when cooking things like beans, stews, gumbos. They sit atop the grate and spread out the heat across the bottom of the cooking vessel more evenly to not create concentrated hot spots and prevent scorching. Can be found at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

For meat I use my Thermapen a lot. I don't have to guess on internal temp anymore when grilling.

Thermopop is also a good little thermometer.
