"The one kitchen tool".....

[RebelSS]

...that you couldn't live without. (non-electric, or not corded)  Mine has to my instant read digi-temp gauge. Two in the kitchen, one with the grill....haveta check that meat temp!  Any other gadgets that really work well? One other for me...my meatloaf pan " as seen on TV" These really are heavy-duty, made well, and work GREAT. I love mine.

As gadgets go, not counting knives and pans and tongs and spatulas, the instant read themometer is right up there.  Oh, and my silpats.

frankly mine is my computer.  Even if I'm making a pretty normal item I will look it up and see how others make it and maybe tweak things or just because I enjoy reading cooking stuff.

second item is my wife who generally cleans up.  I clean as I go often but it's nice to buss my plate pat her on the rear, get scolded and walk away.

That's what I need is a spice rack, it's a pain to take half the stuff out of the cupboard above the stove just to find what I'm looking for.

I'd say that was one of the first things I was going to list, but then you'd try to tell me the "great minds think alike" thing....

Never saw a guy admitting to being a tool before.....

A Silpat is the brand name for a non stick silicone mat that goes in a half sheet pan.  Nothing sticks to it.  The knock offs seem to work just as well

Del- I think Reb is going to come over and stab you with an icicle pretty soon.  All they will find is you and a puddle of water next to your noggin by the time anyone finds you.

I use about three things in our spice cabinet.  Probaly $250 worth of stuff in there and it's in utter disarray.

What, no "Hello Kitty" pic on that Silpat???

I sure am, not too far away at all (30 miles). I think we'll be doing a smoked meat swap pretty soon ta boot (unless he already ate all of his jerky ).

If it works out that you don't need/want it, it'd have a happy home here.

Bottle opener  

Since my wedding ring is my bottle opener I'm not sure it counts as a kitchen tool but it is very important.

It drives the wife nuts when I open bottles with my ring, honestly that's part of why I do it but don't tell her that.

Ya the meat thermometer is right up there along with my hot mitts.  For those that don't live in Andover, those are those gloves you wear  so you dont fry your hands when dealing with hot grates or cooking pans.  good luck.

we called my mom "asbestos hands".  I swear she barely ever used mitts.  I'm sure it's more legend than truth but still run with it.
