While I realize that most relationships with "new" kitchen gadgets are
at best fleeting affairs, I believe my Hamilton Grill and I are going to
end up having a long term, permanent relationship. ;-)

Anyone else fall in love with a kitchen gadget?

Presto salad shooter. I've never used it for salads but I use it to grate
cheese. I have had it for years and have replaced the cheese grating cone
once.

My wand or stick blender and my V-slicer hold a piece of my heart. My
micro-planer used to... but I use it so rarely that we've drifted apart.

I find a microplane zester work very well for grating ginger - it
grates into smaller bits than a normal grater, which is good for
something as fibrous as ginger. Of course, it is also fabulous for
grating nutmeg.

Sometimes I'll slice my ginger root and toss it into my small food
chopper with some of the liquid from the recipe. It gets it pretty fine
if I do it right. :-)

I use my salad shooter for salad. Find my cordless cheese grater better for
cheese. It's great cause I have little strength in my hands.

I've never seen an electric cheese grater?

I use my rotary grater/slicer for cheese, and for shredding carrots and
stuff.

Ohh...I love my cordless cheese grater also...it looks very much like

disperse it evenly throughout a dish, and I haven't mastered the smash
it with a knife trick. My garlic press does the job!

Haven't mastered that? I know it's kind of tough.
Sort of like boiling water. :-)

I might just have to try another one. I never did like them...
I grate garlic cloves on a fine cheese grater.

What kind do you have?

It's just some nothing brand from the grocery store. It's nice,
though -- rinses clean beautifully. I don't even peel the garlic,
just drop it in the press and give it a squeeze.

Not gadgets, but Ed bought me two Wusthof (sp?) knives some years back (a
bird's eye and a tomato slicer), and I don't go near a tomato without them.

Serrated tomato slicers are nice and I used to use one...

until I bought my oriental knife. :-)
That think holds an edge like you would not believe!
Gods help me if I ever get my finger under it (so far that's not
happened!).

I can literally slice tomato paper thin with that thing.

I'll have to google for yours. I'm curious now!

Thing is, my knife drawer is pretty full. <lol>

Bread machine. I have more types and kinds of flours and inclusions
than I know what to do with, and merrily add them to each and every
loaf. Only one flop, and I tossed that book.

Just got a yogurt maker. If it works good, I'll be in love with that
too.

Ditto on the breadmaker. Fleishman's has a nice recipe book for
breadmaking. Now is the perfect time of the year to make apple bread.
It has chunks of apples in it with a nice mild spicy flavour. If you
want the recipe, I can post it for you. I make more tomato bread this
time of year too just by adding cherry tomatoes and fresh basil to a
basic white bread recipe. This is out of necessity since my plants are
overflowing in tomatoes!

I've had a Salton yogurt maker for years. It's the kind with the little
jars. I use it quite a bit.

My number one favourite small kitchen gadget is a small handheld rotary
cheese grater that I use mainly for grating parmesan cheese. My number
one favourite large kitchen gadget is my 22 L Mirro pressure canner.
The number one gadget I would never buy is an electric can opener. I
went through a couple of them before buying a good hand operated one.
