what's your favorite kitchen tool?

[Rois]

.....or the one you use the most? These are mine:

Swiss Kuhn Rikon utility knife (I have the red one). It's really sharp.

Pampered Chef baking stone

Pastry Blender

 

[NostalgicGranny]

Believe it or not it is a plain old fork. I use it as a whisk, blender, and pastry blender (when I am too lazy to take the few extra steps to get the proper tool).

our electric garter-chopper.
our handheld bamex? blender because i blend my smoothies daily.

The proper knife for the task and my sharpening steel, my pastry blender, and a cast iron skillet.

I hate to sound like a snob, but my favorite kitchen tool is a KitchenAid electric mixer. It is really well-designed, and sturdy like a rock. It makes whipping, say, cream, and making dough a snap.

I also enjoy my stainless steel pot/pan set. I do not believe using aluminum cookware coated with some chemical to be good form tsk tsk

Actually I love my KitchenAid Professional HD 475 watt mixer, too. (Now that's snobbery.) But I enjoy the feel of a well-balanced knife in my hand, and I use it and my pastry blender much more often than the mixer.

I like my stainless steel too.

I have a small serated knife - I don't know what its called - but its so multi functional - and its wonderful for peeling and slicing.

I would also say my pastry blender (lol, looks like alot of us like that). I just can't be bothered taking out the mixer to blend pastry, so this little handy device does the job.

I have a nice kitchen aid mixer, but it's too big for the counter. I rarely use it as a result! I like kneading by hand too much to use the dough hook.

Also, there is just that much more to clean up when you pull out a blender or food processor. All those nooks and crannies . . . .

I entirely forgot to mention my hand whisk. I use it to make sauces and gravies. I always had to bring it with me to Thanksgiving at my mother-in-law's house because she always made me make the gravy and she didn't have a whisk (tsk tsk).

 

[cheftom]

my knife!

But I really need a new one... and a Food processor!

 

[WhiteWillow]

tool? probably,our meat grinder

 

[ILuvBoxers]

My shredder. Electric

I usually use forks to cook with, but as for eating with, I like a spoon! Dig IN!

 

[Lizabth]

My big slab of marble. Excellent brioche, danish pastry and croissants depend upon it.

 

[healingrainbow]

the kitchen tool I use the most is that rubber thing that helps you open jars. (I have small hands which doesn't give me enough grip) and it's my fav too because they last a long time.

 

[arborvita]

Since I have moved houses and recently and am cooking with just a hot plate at the moment until the kitchen get finished. I miss the oven! I never realized how many thing I made with the oven.

If that doesnt counts a tool... I would have to go with the fork. I use it for so many things in the kitchen.

My Kitchen Aid Mixer. My husband just surprised me with one for our last anniversary! I don't know how i lived without it!
