    Cuisinart Griddler. I've never actually used it, but my husband uses it several times a week to make us great sandwiches, seared tofu, pancakes, etc. We got it as a gift and didn't think we would use it.

    I just bought the waffle plates for mine. I use it with one plate or another 3-4 times a week. Will use it less as the weather warms up and I fire up the grill, but I'm pressed at how nicely it cooks a steak or burger.

    And the waffles on Easter were good.

    My rice maker. I traded my old roommate a coin purse for it.

    (It's a really basic one with literally one button and she had had it for a few years before giving it to me but I still definitely got the better end of the deal!)

    Oh yes! I'm so glad I bought a rice cooker! I'm getting more into donburies and similar dishes, and the prepping, even just for one person can be pretty wild. I'm so glad if I don't need to look after the rice.

    I convinced my wife to register for a Black & Decker toaster oven when we were getting married. My parents have always had a toaster oven where as she grew up with a slot toaster. The B&D my parents got for their wedding last like 25 years. Five years of daily or more use and still going strong. Since it's just the two of us we do our dinner protein in it more often than not. Quicker and more energy efficient than using the full-size oven for 3-4 chicken breast cutlets, pork chops, salmon, or tilapia. We also bought a Zwilling Henkels knife set with wedding gift cards and they are divine.

    Quality knives, quality pans, kitchen aid mixer, food processor, graters & zesters, ninja pulse. I'm sure there's more as my entire dining room is basically an extension of my kitchen. LOL

    My mandoline slicer! Makes nice even slices any size from thick to paper thin!

    I have an irrational fear of mandolin slicers (and deli slicers, too).

    Same. I bought a $40 one, used it once, gave it away.

    What is it that you slice with it? Vegetables? I've never seen one in action, much less owned one, but I do hate chopping vegetables.

    I forgot a few more of mine in addition to the spiralizer:

    stainless steel pots/pans
    stainless steel garlic press
    bread machine--we got it for our wedding 20 years ago this June, and we still use it weekly to make pizza dough
    little mini food processor--I mostly use it now for making pesto a 2-4 times per month, depending on the season
    slow cooker--mostly used now for cooking a whole chicken, but sometimes use for other meals as well
    wine bottle opener!!

    A dehydrator. I don't use it as often as I'd like to, but when I do..... Love it, love it, love it.

    Yep, lots of veggies! Mostly I use it for zucchini, beets and to make onion rings. I cook a lot and when veggies are cut the exact same size, everything cooks evenly. It's much faster than slicing by hand, too.

    yeah I would be lost without my cast iron pans..

    But I can't wait until I can say my barbecue in response to this thread. I Love cooking over wood and lump charcoal.

    Honestly tho as boring as it is my most useful tool is my 21 day fit containers, and other meal prep containers. Its really helped me make it convenient to get my diet to a sustainable plan.
