    My new favorite gadget.....
    OXO JULIENNE PEELER!!!

    I LOVE making "zucchini spaghetti" with this peeler!
    Peel the zucchini into a bowl and then either microwave it for 2-3 minutes or gently warm it in a non-stick fry pan.
    Top with your favorite spaghetti sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
    A whole zucchini is less than 40 calories.....much less than an equal portion of pasta!

    Nespresso machine
    Olive pitter
    Sharpening steel
    Potato ricer
    A little melamine cereal bowl that I microwave scrambled eggs in, it's the ONLY receptacle I can get them right in, when that eventually breaks I am doomed...:cry:

    Mine is a book, "I'm Just Here for the Food: Version 2" by Alton Brown (from Good Eats).

    Actual kitchen item would have to be a sharp sturdy chef's knife and cutting board. I can make quick work of veggies and meats with a nice sharp knife.

    The Ninja.

    My juicer! I recently have gotten into juicing and now I crave a green juice everyday!

    My Green Juice Recipe:
    Half a cucumber (or whole!)
    1 granny smith apple
    6 stalks of celery
    1 in ginger root
    a handful or 2 of spinach
    a handful or 3 of kale

    It's delicious!

    Another vote for the immersion blender. LOVE it. I have a similar one to the photo that was posted, with a mini food processor. It's a Cuisnart that I got at Costco for $30. One of the best kitchen gadget investments I've made.

    Wow! I left for my yoga class and came back to all of these great ideas! Thanks so much for sharing. I need to buy a new scale, so thanks for the suggestions.

    My garlic press! I buy the organic pre-peeled garlic cloves, smash em with the press, and put it in EVERYTHING I cook! My boyfriend and I easily eat a clove a day, but it's so time consuming to chop/dice that I wouldn't otherwise.

    Really no faves but I am getting one of those handheld blenders this weekend. I love smoothies but hate cleaning the blender.

    The Sous Vide I got for christmas! It makes even normally tough but really lean meat like eye of round roast REALLLY tender-like a good expensive steak without the fat. Chicken breasts come out great too-really moist and tender. If I wasn't trying to lose weight I would have this thing loaded and cooking all the time.....:happy:

    Aside from my Keurig coffee maker (which they will have to pry from my cold, dead hands...I love this nifty spiral slicer I bought. It turns veggies like zucchini into these long curly pasta-like strands. I toss them in a skillet with some olive oil cooking spray and seasoning, sautee it up and use it instead of pasta. Very cool!

    The can opener? :indifferent: I hardly ever use my kitchen, but when I do, that's normally what I need. I don't have any gadgets in my kitchen.
