The stack of to go menus! Lol. I still use a hand crank can opener. Tried others, hated them. Love my salad spinner.

Other than my knives, I would say the multitude of spatulas I have. Wide ones, narrow ones, ones that have a slight bowl shape to them. Also the julienne cutter to make carrot matchsticks for salads. I have this one, but others are less expensivehttps://www.amazon.com/Kuhn-Rikon-Julienne-Protector-Stainless/dp/B0000CEWJD.

Magnetic knife holder for the wall.

I think it was Justterrlyn who introduced these a couple months ago, I love the concept and will be using them as stocking stuffers.

Herb Scissors, I use mine all the time

Hands free baggy clip (on Amazon)

Oven Pull Monster (Container Store)

sink station (to catch peelings in the sink)

Thanks. I got invited to a gadget exchange party. You guys always have the best ideas.

My Ulu knife. (most cost more than $15 but not by much.)

Peppi, I have the same julienner. Use it for carrots and zucchini.

Love my OXO spinner, but it cost more than $15.

Not a gadget, but I love my stash of mise en place bowls.

I still use a hand crank can opener.

Me too!

Other than my knives

Nothing better than a good knife, but I'm not sure it's a gadget. I'd call it a basic.

What do you call this clip-on thing?

Have this -- love it:

Silicone lids:

The Slot Dog:

Shortbread pan:

Spice tins:

I have more!

Sure, you can bake tortilla bowls without these pans, but they are wonderful:

Best kitchen timer ever:

I always like a basic heat resistant spoon that I can stir with and use to scoop out a serving of food. I'm not a fan of wooden spoons.

I broke my miniature measuring cup for teaspoons and tablespoons. I liked it. https://www.mileskimball.com/buy-mini-measuring-cup-302760

I didn't realize until a couple of years ago that measuring cups come in two and four cup sizes also. I like that when I cook from scratch because I always get interrupted and forget how many cups of flour and sugar I already put in.

I love those OXO measuring cups for liquids in various sizes.

I have something similar to this...

It's such a help for lifting sheet pans out of the oven.

I've been using this in the microwave. It's awesome. No more burned fingers or boil overs on the MW tray.

If I cover the tray above with this, no spatters inside the microwave (and it's a colander if you turn it upside down).

Mrs. Pete, where did you get those sea serpent ladles? I think I'd like them!

NOW I WANT ALL OF THAT STUFF!!!!

How could you do this to me? And so soon after the last thread regarding gadgets? Sigh.........

Kathyg_in_mi, looks like the ladles are available at the usual places. Search on Nessie Ladles.

Look at this cute family:

An olive oil spritzer is a must have in my kitchen. And I ditto the hands free plastic bag holder lukki posted. So handy this summer when I was putting tomato sauce in the freezer.

Fun2, where did you find the blue microwave tray thingy? I need that!

Oven mitts w/ silicone print

Sorry, I should have posted the link, they’re cleverly called Dip clips and can be found on Amazon:

Ok, so I don’t know if these are gadgets per say, but I thought they were hilarious and they gave my sister a really good laugh too...They’re at Container store and I sent them as a match with the monster rack pull I posted above.

Watchers bag ties

Last year my DD got me one of these to clean our stainless steel appliances and it works!! Simplehuman Microfiber cleaning mit

OutsidePlaying, I bought mine at Amazon, but they may be cheaper elsewhere.

Cool Grip MW Holder

I reach for this several times a week. I like fresh grated cheese on lots of things. I can grate a half pound of cheddar faster using this than the time it would take hauling out a box grater. I no longer own a box grater after purchasing this.

1. My most used device is a long sharp knife. It's used for slicing and dicing.

2. Manual can opener: Couldn't live without it.

3. Lid grabber for opening lidded containers. As a last resort, I'll run out to the garage and grab a strap wrench for the very difficult lid. I have been known to use an oil filter wrench for this job - I have 3 sizes of filter wrenches. I have used a nut cracker to open small diameter lids, but one has to be careful with this one since there is a danger of crushing glass bottle necks.

Thanks for the link Fun2Bhere, I want to get one of those, it will come in really handy!

The best thing I found for opening jars like pickles, jams etc is the little pointy can puncture thing. The pointy end goes under the lid and you push it down just enough to break the seal.

I have a little glass with tsp and tbsp, oz, measurements on it. Handy.

I LOVE that bag holder thing.

I have a teeny-tiny little whisk that I use a lot for whisking a couple of eggs, etc.

I also use my silicone boil-over lid. I can't boil potatoes without having them boil over.

Plastic funnels for liquids and one with a wide mouth for dry goods. I buy a lot of dry goods from the Bulk Barn and they get put into jars when I get home.

Lemon zester

tiny, tiny whisk like Jadsip has

Cookie scoop (I got one two months ago and love it!)

I have a tiny whisk, too, that I use for so many things like eggs and salad dressings. I think mine was supposed to be a Christmas ornament, but it works great in my kitchen.

my funnel...i use it almost every meal i put leftovers in mason jars in the frig and freezer....even when i don't use the entire can of tomatoes or corn etc, i put the "other half" in the cup size jars in the freezer...

I love kitchen gadgets! I'd like all of the above!

One of my favorites is a tiny spatula - perfect for scooping out of a measuring spoon - something like pb or coconut oil - slides right out.
