Show me your favourite kitchen tools/items/gadgets

I love spending time in the kitchen (despite being not great at it :laughing:) but I do enjoy cooking and love kitchen gadgets. Here is a place to show us your favourite kitchen items (whether knives, pots/pans, spatulas, appliances, gratersā€¦ you name it!!). Could be new, or all beat up and well used/well loved, passed down etc!

This is my go-to paring knife. I use it for almost everything; chopping fruit (little guy eats a ton), veggies, meat, and my favourite potato peeling or chopping knife

My favorite, works for everything except bread knife. My husband have a bunch of expensive brand knives he tries to make me use. But I like this green one. I bough it in Dollarstore a few years ago, and itā€™s just perfect, perfect sized, perfectly small, perfect weigh. And all that.

This breadpicker is also a favorite, heritage and Iā€™m honestly not sure about the age of that. I know my grandmotherā€™s Ma had it, it then belonged to my grandmother and finally it ended up in my kitchen. And I still use it everytime Iā€™m making ā€œGrandma breadā€ aka flatbread, or pie.
Iā€™m sure it would work to pick with a fork, or something more modern, but it doesnā€™t taste the same when I do.

Is it a wok? Is it a frying pan? I donā€™t know and I donā€™t care. Itā€™s my favourite pan for sure. And has been for a long time.

My three go-to knives used for everything.
The middle knife I like so much I bought a spare to use when this one finally wears out. The second picture shows the difference between used and new.
I hand-sharpen on an oil-stone first, then finish on a 1000 grit ceramic wet-stone. A honing steel is used before each use.

Cookin.
My favorite 2 spatulas. Must have a good high heat rubber spatula for eggs.
My grandmothers potatoe masher.
And my grandmothers bottle opener. What a treat it was when she would open a bottle of 7UP for me as a child to go with the Fritos.
And the long handled wooden soup spoon Iā€™ve had forever. You canā€™t tell itā€™s warped in the pic.

And a good pair of tongs not in pic.

You can cook for me anytime Salty :wink:

I seriously dream about getting one lf those. But we donā€™t have the space. Does it work as well as in the commercials?

I used to have the perfect one, in plastic. It eventually broke last year when I was making chilli. Yet I havenā€™t managed to find anyone that hold the standard.
