    I ditto the immersion blender. I love mine.

    Not sure if this is a "gadget" but I also love my solid maple rolling pin. No handles or moving parts--just a 2 inch diameter rod of doom.

    I also love my box grater/shredder, my slow cooker, my rice cooker with a steamer basket, my cast iron skillet (which sadly I can't use right now because the new house's stove is glass top---grrr...), a potato/veggie peeler, a whistling teapot.

    I have a Stand mixer that gets a lot of use around the holidays. I need to get used to using it more for daily stuff though... and some cool attachments would be nice as well.

    My fridge is awesome too. Lots of space, freezer on the bottom, ice maker in the freezer, nothing on the exterior of the doors (no filtered water/crushed ice thing), no french doors, lots of adjustable shelves and drawers inside, and super high efficiency/energy saving.

    I also love my "french" whisks. They are harder to find in stores these days (at least good ones are hard to find... most in stores have handles that are too short), but my mom always had 2 or 3 and now I have 2 so far as well. They are springy and great for keeping things from sticking to the bottom of a pot (like gravy or a soup). They get right up next to the pot's edges and can be flush to the bottom of the pan as needed too. A college friend came to visit recently and she'd never seen a "french" whisk, but she fell in love too. Now she's on the hunt for one with a nice long handle---I suggest Amazon if you are interested.

    I want a dehydrator and a deep freezer. Hubby wants a food saver/vacuum thingy.

    Not exactly a gadget but I'm so glad I finally invested in a good cast iron skillet. I looove it and now I want one in every size. I've been a teflon queen until now but am surprised at how non sticky the cast iron is. Plus I can throw it in the oven.

    I've been looking for a good chopper/blender/whatever (bought an Oster food processor and the thing was terrible) so I'm glad for the suggestions in here.

    Agreed. Mine's a KitchenAid. Makes soups, sauces, smoothies sooooo much easier than using a blender.

    Yep, I really love my immersion blender (mine's a Braun) and use it at least twice daily. Easier to deal with than a regular jug-style blender, and so much easier to clean than my food processor.

    I love my Cuisinart food processor, too. Haha. Now I feel like I've been cheating on it with the hand blender!

    I also love my cast iron skillet! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I use it for everything and will never, ever go back to nonstick pans.

    I have a mandolin slicer, which is pretty cool...but very scary! Still, it's fun. Just gotta be paying very close attention so that you don't slice off a finger. :bigsmile:

    I bought a food scale at Walmart for 6 dollars. It has been very helpful in figuring out different serving sizes, etc

    I love my mini food processor/chopper. It makes a batch of hummus super quick. I use it to dice up onions when I'm feeling lazy. It chops hot peppers so i don't get the oil on my hands (because I get paranoid about rubbing eyes, or wiping for that matter). It makes pico de gallo super fast. And it makes celery so fine I can hide it in the chili without complaints from the picky eaters in my family.
