Favorite Kitchen Gadgets

On TV shows I see all kinds of neat gadgets sitting on peoples kitchen cabinets.  Problem is I don't know what they are.

My favorite kitchen gadget is a Super Fast Instant-Read Thermometer.

I measure the temperature with it of all my meats as I cook.

I measure the temperature of leftovers that I am heating in the air fryer.

What is your favorite kitchen gadget.

The older I get, the fewer gadgets I use.  So, to lead this off with a boring choice …a can opener.

I have to admit, I'm falling in love with my Instant Pot.

It does everything my beloved slow-cookers do plus so much more. And the pot is lighter and far less fragile, so hopefully it won't crack after a decade or two. Though I have a feeling the electronics won't last as long as the simple wiring on a slow-cooker.

Okay, I have many. And some even single-use. Mostly, no regrets.  
Things I have owned in the past an no longer do include a instantpot, microwave, electric kettle, rice cooker, garlic press... and many others.

Gadgets that get a lot of love:
-large mortar and pestle (technically a molcajete)
-Tatung steamer (my new absolutely favorite purchase); I use it to cook grains as well
-Food mill (few uses, but useful nonetheless)
-All the sourdough bread paraphernalia
-instant thermometer and kitchen scale
-tortilla press (not strictly necessary but we have tortillas so much more often now)
-small cabbage shredder (which essentially is my mandolin). Not strictly necessary, but when processing a lot of stuff (even a bunch of radishes which I like to quick pickle), it really helps
-cast iron spice grinder. No electricity needed. Actually use it more than I thought. I like to buy/grow whole spices.
-toaster oven (we do not have a microwave)
-wooden bean masher/pickle tamper - whatever you want to call it
-small battery operated frother/whisk for matcha, whipped cream, sauces
-vitamix
-microplane
-fermentation crocks
-slow cooker --- not as much use as I hoped for us, but still useful

I should expand a bit on the steamer... Steaming food is quick and healthy. I also use it to reheat foods without drying them out. I can cook a protein with veggies in a plate on top of a grain and call it weeknight dinner. I couldn't be happier. And yes, not strictly necessary as you can improvise to make a steamer. But I truly love it! The Tatung specifically only has one button to push, the amount of time things cook depends on how much water you add to outer pot.
