What are your favorite "kitchen gadgets" that you can't live without?
I love shopping for such things and wondered what you all used to make food prep a little easier or more fun... 8)

A decent mandoline (slicer). Harder to get here than you'd imagine. They are either made of crappy plastic, or the heavy "professional" ones come with crappy blades. But when you get a good one, it's so helpful! And I'm the sort that has my favourite little knife that I use for everything. Not actually named, but it needs only that.

I consider my breadmaker a gadget. And I wouldn't call it a breadmaker in my house, I would call it a dough kneader. I never use it to bake bread, just to knead it because I am weak and lazy. But I love it, and use it all the time.
I have this pineapple cutting contraption. It's totally frivolous, but it's really cool. In about 5 seconds, you can have a pineapple peeled, cored, and cut into a spiral. And you are left with a hollow pinapple peel that you can use as a cup and pretend like you are Gilligan.
Oh, and my apple slicer/corer--the kind that you shove down on the apple and suddenly it's cored and cut into slices. Awesome...
Also, my wine corker with the needle and compressed air that makes the cork pop out. A very satisfying process.

Hi, I'm Dominique and I'm a Gadget-A-Holic.
:) You're my cosmic balance. I avoid gadgets. I'm very MacGyver about getting things done in the kitchen.
That being said, I really like those disposable cutting mats (they're like 2 for $3). They last forever (I don't dispose them), but they're great for chopping things and transfer. They're also easy to wash and if you have a slide out cutting board it will fit there for storage, so when you slide your board out it's already in place and ready to go.

Coffee grinder--for my flax seeds. Can't hand chop those. ::) My rice cooker has become a regularly-used kitchen gadget, too. Other than those, I frequently use my blender and food processor; and I have a "favorite" knife. Actually, I have had different "favorite" knives over the years depending on where I am "culinarily-speaking" at any given time. ;)
Bookpapa got me one of those hands-free battery-driven can openers which is pretty nifty and an electric jar opener which I haven't used yet. We have a tendency to be gadget people, as well, but don't require that they all be technological. Non-technological gadgets are fun, too--like an avocado scoop, zester, silicone spatula, etc. We love kitchen stores and kitchen departments in other stores. It's a sickness! :D

The two I use most is Mini-me (my knife .... yes I named it. I got its "Big-brother", too). I use it for EVERYTHING (excluding cutting meat with it). Great little knife. And the second is the blender. I make homemade dressings, and drinks in it. I do have a food processor, but it's so "lumpy" and hard to clean (I'm lazy LOL). My SO is a gadget freak! We've got everything invented for the kitchen. But I'm happy with my blender and "Mini-me."

VITAMIX!!! *******chorus of angels hum********** I know it's expensive but we use it everyday ...on a converter! which is a big pain!! so that shows how much i love it! I would never be able to make some of the yummy cheese sauces i've made without it... DH uses it for shakes and we make 1 minute hummus, soup, fake sour cream etc etc etc! I have actually filled out those goofy myspace surveys where one of the questions is: "What material possession would you save from your house in a fire?" I think people expect you to put "photo album" or "my mother's wedding dress".... i put: "Vitamix."
I also really love my J.A. Henckels 5 star knives, I don't know if they are "the best knives ever" I don't even know where they fall in the "is this a good knife scale" but they fit me well in the kitchen.

Cuisinart food processor. I gotta unplug it each time I open it up, 'cause I know if that blade twitches, I'm a goner. Bamboo mat, for all my sushi needs. Garlic press, 'cause that stuff is small, sticky, and smelly. Coffee grinder. The veggie peeler I only use for shaving chocolate ::)
I'm thinking of getting a dough hook, just because I'm terrible at kneading and refuse to get a bread machine.

I'll agree with Jennifer and say my Vitamix (even though the term "gadget" brings to mind something inexpensive to me), I use it every day, usually several times per day.
I also looove my pressure cooker/canner. I actually have 2--a small(er) and a bigger one. They are worth the money even if all you do is cook dry beans in them (which I totally recommend--saves money and cuts your salt intake down dramatically) You can cook a huge batch of dry beans in less than 30 minutes (provided you've soaked the beans--add another 15 minutes if you haven't). I usually get 15 cans worth per batch (in my large cooker) and freeze them in can sized amounts--I find they work just as well and are just as convenientt straight out of the freezer.
Besides the beans, I use them for lots of other things--vegetables (artichokes and beets come out wonderfully), soups and stews, chilis, rice and other grains (rice cooks faster and just as well in a pressure cooker compared to a rice cooker). If anybody has a pressure cooker I totally recommend the book Recipes from an Ecological Kitchen by Lorna Sass, completely vegan and almost every recipe has pressure cooker directions.

I'm happy with it for my purposes, though I've never used another brand so I'm not sure how it compares. The most time consuming part for such a large cooker is bringing it up to pressure (probably about 10 minutes if its 2/3 full), and another 10 minutes for letting the pressure come down naturally. If the beans are presoaked, you can fill the cooker up more than halfway because they've already expanded. If you have not presoaked them, you have to use more water (obviously) and you can only fill the cooker halfway.
I recommend checking out Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure by Lorna Sass for an excellent and fairly complete bean cooking time chart (the recipes aren't bad either, but I like Recipes from an Ecological Kitchen better). I made a photo copy of the chart and its hanging on my fridge. I add notes next to each bean regarding what works best in my particular cooker. The first month or so I had it, there was quite a bit of trial and error (overcooked or undercooked beans), but now I have a good grasp of how long things need to be under pressure on my stove. Undercooked is better than overcooked because the pressure can be brought back up to pressure very quickly for another couple of minutes. Gotta go--guests are arriving for movie night tonight!

I second (or is it third?) getting a pressure canner. The pressure cooker is good for cooking, but with the canner you can make soups, beans, etc. and store it on the shelf. They're a bit more expensive, but really functional. If you want to just pressure cook things, you can do that in a pressure canner, too.

:) You're my cosmic balance. I avoid gadgets. I'm very MacGyver about getting things done in the kitchen.
Haha, I'm pretty sure I am too, but mostly in spirit. I cannot say that I have gadgets that I cannot live without because I have to say that I can do almost anything without much of any gadget (except a knife maybe).
That said, I would like to have something to grind things with, like a food processor or good blender, just because blending/grinding/pureeing is one of those things that is incredibly hard to do without some kind of gadget. I also use a garlic press regularly, even though I don't own one myself currently. I have a rice cooker, and it's very convenient for any kind of grain cookery, but I could definitely do without. Can opener, but if I didn't have one, I would never buy canned goods, which would be a good thing... maybe I should get rid of it. Good knives, pots, and pans. I think that's all.

Kitchenaid stand mixer Kitchenaid food processor Kitchenaid blender Black & Decker handi blender Black & Decker hand mixer Immersion blender with a container attachment Hamilton Beach Change A Bowl TWO coffee grinders, one for coffee one for spices/seeds drip coffeemakers x2 electric percolator French press #10 spring ice cream scoop (new and I love it) Rice and veggie steamer toaster oven broiler regular oven and broiler too Fry Daddy Soymilk Machine "Hot Pot" electric thingy for boiling water 3 sets of knives and 2 pairs of kitchen scissors (but why?)
A new countertop dishwasher which is a bit of a gadget since it is not the usual dishwasher and I don't have room for one of any other kind. I have a lovely set of Revereware copper bottom pans I have had for 25 yrs and they are still in very good condition, though they are used daily. I added to the original set my mom in law gave me with finds from the thrift store sans lids, but when you have the basic set, you have all the lids anyway.
I broke my electric skillet a couple of years ago and I still miss it sorely. I can't have Teflon, so I have been a while replacing it.
My favorite thing is that in the last year I purchased 2 complete sets of old Pyrex refrigerator bowls and another partial set. I use this all the time, constantly in use. There are 3 sizes and perfect for about everything. I can bake, freeze, microwave, refrigerate and serve in pretty containers. I love them!
Now that I see it written out...I think I actually have an issue here...LOL My favorite place is always the spot where they have kitchen things and I am not even all that much of a cook.

"Hot Pot" electric thingy for boiling water
OH i didn't even think of this... in europe you are total weirdo if you don't have one of these... it so "normal" in the kitchen that I think of it as a kitchen sink... I love to use it for making "eggs" this way i can add hot, almost boiling water to flax or egg replacer at anytime and have an "egg" a minute or two later. This isn't the oly thing i use it for of course but one of the handier ones. I think they are more expensive in the states here you can get one anywhere for a few euro. In the US you have to look at a kitchen store and i don't think i've seen one for less than $25 and usually over $30 :P it's not like it's "different" just less of a demand for them i guess so the price is higher.

Did they lose two over the years?....but why would there be a need for THAT many tins? Also, I have a very strong affinity for bakeware with straight vertical sides. Most tart pans or what-have-you have SLOPING sides...and I just perfer the look of things with straight sides--they give more of that "oooooh--ahhhh" look. So if I ever find some, I get very excited
