Anyone else fall in love with a kitchen gadget?

Cheers!

Presto salad shooter. I've never used it for salads but I use it to grate
cheese. I have had it for years and have replaced the cheese grating cone
once.

My wand or stick blender and my V-slicer hold a piece of my heart. My
micro-planer used to... but I use it so rarely that we've drifted apart.

Wonder if it'd work for grating fresh ginger root?

Stick blender is a regular also in my kitchen...

I just love my garlic press. I can't dice garlic finely enough to
disperse it evenly throughout a dish, and I haven't mastered the smash
it with a knife trick. My garlic press does the job!

Haven't mastered that? I know it's kind of tough.
Sort of like boiling water. :-)

I use my salad shooter for salad. Find my cordless cheese grater better for
cheese. It's great cause I have little strength in my hands.

Not gadgets, but Ed bought me two Wusthof (sp?) knives some years back (a
bird's eye and a tomato slicer), and I don't go near a tomato without them.

I might just have to try another one. I never did like them...
I grate garlic cloves on a fine cheese grater.

What kind do you have?

I've never seen an electric cheese grater?

I use my rotary grater/slicer for cheese, and for shredding carrots and
stuff.

Serrated tomato slicers are nice and I used to use one...

until I bought my oriental knife. :-)
That think holds an edge like you would not believe!
Gods help me if I ever get my finger under it (so far that's not
happened!).

I can literally slice tomato paper thin with that thing.

I'll have to google for yours. I'm curious now!

Thing is, my knife drawer is pretty full. <lol>

A key lime juicer! :-)

I rarely buy them as they are such a PITA to juice!

They are fantastic for margaritas.....

Bread machine. I have more types and kinds of flours and inclusions
than I know what to do with, and merrily add them to each and every
loaf. Only one flop, and I tossed that book.

Just got a yogurt maker. If it works good, I'll be in love with that
too.

Ditto on the breadmaker. Fleishman's has a nice recipe book for
breadmaking. Now is the perfect time of the year to make apple bread.
It has chunks of apples in it with a nice mild spicy flavour. If you
want the recipe, I can post it for you. I make more tomato bread this
time of year too just by adding cherry tomatoes and fresh basil to a
basic white bread recipe. This is out of necessity since my plants are
overflowing in tomatoes!

I've had a Salton yogurt maker for years. It's the kind with the little
jars. I use it quite a bit.

My number one favourite small kitchen gadget is a small handheld rotary
cheese grater that I use mainly for grating parmesan cheese. My number
one favourite large kitchen gadget is my 22 L Mirro pressure canner.
The number one gadget I would never buy is an electric can opener. I
went through a couple of them before buying a good hand operated one.
