I’m not a big fan of kitchen gadgets, especially those that are good for only one thing – and I DO realize that I’m in the minority here, as most people I know really love their food chopper, apple corer, etc.
Having said that, I definitely have a few go-to utensils that I swear I can’t live without, like a good knife or tongs. But, day-to day? My most used accoutrement is:
Wooden Spatula
I love my wooden spoons too, but there’s something about the flat edge of the spatula that makes it the ideal tool for a variety of cooking tasks, and it can effortlessly breeze between non-stick, cast iron, or stainless steel pans without worry of messing anything up.
What kitchen utensil or gadget can’t you live without?
I love my rubber spatula (I MUST get every last drop of peanut butter goodness out of that jar!)
You’re right. There IS no other tool better at getting the last scraping of peanut butter out of the jar! I love mine for making scrambled eggs. 🙂
