Kitchen Gadgets!

There are some kitchen gadgets I love !

My #1: garlic press. Can't live without it, I use it so much it's hardly ever in the drawer where it lives.



But some are *useless*. Who needs a kiwi scoop?



Or pizza scissors/spatula?




What kitchen gadgets do you love?

Quite obviously, my blender. I makes me smoothies, both Irish smoothies like Margaritas and nonethanol ones.



Then steamer! Healthiest way to cook food for me. You can make just about anything in it

Math Is Hard

I have a rice spoon that I really like.



It's useful for scooping frozen yogurt, soups, all kinds of things.

Ah, I forgot about the mortar and pestle, I use mine frequently.

Oh and my mandolin. No not the musical instrument - more like a horizontal guillotine for veggies:



It's soooo scary, though...watch your fingers!

That might double as an avocado scoop.

Fresh guacamole is great!

I've got a really nice, thick, heavy blockboard chopping board too, would recommend one of those! Also the little hand whizzer, packed in today though.

I would love a Kiwi scoop, they are a pain the rear!

Proton Soup

Ulu. best souvenir type gift i ever received. great for chopping up rosemary and basil.

Astronuc

Oh - they're just mooshy.

The first time I ate a kiwi, I didn't know you aren't supposed to eat the skin. I figured well, you eat peach skin, it must be similar.

Kiwi skin is tough and sort of bitter, but apparently it's not very poisonous .

This thing....



Is it a spoon? A fork? A toothed spoon ? Whatever, it's perfect for cooking pasta.

And boiled egg retriever and back scratcher.

That pizza-scissor is pretty awesome. But I really like my hand blender...



...which doesn't really sound like such a good idea (if you think about it); but it is still really cool when you need to mix batter.

The egg slicer in my kitchen is actually a mushroom slicer



excellent tool for pizza cutting

Andre

Up until now my experience is that it is the best tool to tame spaghetti

The Y-peeler is used almost on a daily basis for apples and potatoes.

Andre

But the apple corer requires quite some skill aiming.
