Favorite Kitchen Gadgets?

Ok, I don't cook, bake, etc. and I'm on the hunt for some cool kitchen gadgets to stick in the wishing well for my sister's up & coming Bridal Shower.

What do you guys use often and/or would you recommend?

Re: Favorite Kitchen Gadgets?

I can only tell you what DW uses a lot (I don't cook... I'm often not even allowed in the kitchen.... Chat Icon Chat Icon )

What sort of price range were you looking for? DW's favorite "gadget" is her KitchenAid.... Chat Icon Chat Icon


Egg timer
Measuring cups (you can never seem to have enough)
Can opener (It's amazing how many people don't really have a good one, or one at all...)
Spatulas are always handy
Cutting board. The plastic ones can go in the dishwasher

I'd put KitchenAid mixer under electrics, not gadgets. Chat Icon Plus it won't fit easily in the wishing well. Chat Icon

As for cost, preferably under $30 for each item.




People really use Egg Timers? What's the difference between that and a regular timer on an oven or microwave? Chat Icon

I'm not allowed in the kitchen, so everything in there is a "gadget"... Chat Icon

The one that DW has is something that is shaped like an egg that she puts in the pot of boiling water with the eggs that are hardboiling. I think it floats when the eggs are done. It's not really a "timer", as it doesn't tell time, but it tells you when the eggs have been in the water for enough time.

I agree. Also a good pizza cutter, ice cream scoop, hand can opener.
I have alot of silicone products but I'm getting away from using them after reading negative stuff about them.

May I ask what you guys eat if you never cook? I'm always running out of ideas for take out(not fast food), easy no cook dinners besides salads & places to eat out casually.

A dishwashing brush that holds the soap (I think OXO makes one)
A good set of kitchen spatulas

Re: Favorite Kitchen Gadgets?

"Gadgets" I use often are my good grips jar opener, my strawberry husker, and our pineapple corer. Of course wooden spoons, spatulas, and whisks are always good too but I don't really consider them gadgets.

Best thing ever =

Silpat baking mat.

No need to grease a cookie sheet ever again. Nothing ever sticks, everything cooks evenly.

Re: Favorite Kitchen Gadgets?

oh AND a stainless steel bar of soap.

It removes odors from your hands better than anything I've ever tried - especially onions and garlic.
