  • Your favorite kitchen/home gadget

    As I'm sitting here baking cookies, scooping them out with my cookie scoop, I'm thinking about how much I FLOVE my cookie scoop (and my KitchenAid mixer, but that's another level). I feel like it changed my life with respect to baking cookies. Maybe a little over the top, but seriously, I love this thing, and I use it for all kinds of baking (portioning out muffins, for example). What kitchen or home gadgets do you love?

    methinks I need a cookie scoop

    I love my immersion blender. After 4 years of marriage I never used the normal one I got for my wedding and gave it to my mom when hers broke!

          I also love my immersion blender and kitchen aid. I just bought cookie scoops a couple weeks ago to use for the exchange!

          I also love my veggie chopper and garlic press...best thing ever!!!

            Agreed scoops are great. Also love my silicone spatulas and flippers.

              My vitamix is my fav I think. I have so many small gadgets, and usually tend to get sick of them.

              I'm getting a sous vide for Christmas, hoping that becomes my new favorite - but it also isn't really a little gadget, I guess it's more of an appliance?

              I loved my chopper (http://www.williams-sonoma.com/m/pro...=PRODUCTSEARCH) but the blades are really hard for me to change for some reason. It was killing my thumbs, so I just sort of stopped using it.

              Ohhh I absolutely love my cherry pitter, although I only use it for olives (and usually only the trader joes olive medley - fantastic for Greek salads!).

                Anyone have one of these: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/m/pro...egetable-tools ?

                I've been considering one. Looks really fun... If it actually works as advertised... Which is always the issue!

                  Hmm, I should look into an immersion blender.

                    My Kitchenaid stand mixer was a game changer. So was the Keurig.

                      So what Vitamix do you have? I can't decide if it's worth it to get bottom of the line Vitamix or go with the Breville.. Breville's getting mixed reviews upon further inspection.

                        I have the vitamix 6300. I don't think it's the bottom of the line, but not sure how much of a difference there is. Mine has some presets, but I don't think you really need them. I got mine at Costco - they don't always have it, I think they usually have a less expensive version. This one is usually only there when they have the demonstrations in store.

                        I don't know anything about Breville blenders.

                          I'd go with the Vitamix, Mapplebum.

                          That's probably my husband's favorite. I'd say on a day in, day out basis that mine is the coffee maker. 😄

                            Give this a try...it's cheap but amazing! I had mine for 2.5 years but broke the top...bought a new one and it is great. I use it daily!

                              Oh! I've thought about that one. I'll put it on my list!
