Here are some of my favorite "Kitchen" things:-
Vacuum sealed lid opener
This gadget is a heavy "beer bottle opener" look-alike, except that it comes in bright colored plastic. You use the gently powerful leverage ability under the edge of a vacuum sealed jar and the "pop" small indentation seal in the center of the lid. This makes the smallest drill tip action to open a jar that had previously only "openable" of strong hands (which is a very problematic action if you have "grip" or "twist" problems with hands-particularly in arthritic and/or legacy situations).
Miniature GRATER
This is the same rectangular "box" shape with the handle at the top, as his "big brother", regular cheese/carrot GRATER-but-this "mighty mini" River chocolate or small quantities of Peel ... or ginger ... or fresh coconut ... or perhaps a small amount of Parmesan cheese. It is a dynamo of a midget guise. So handy and tucks a corner of a box or in the smallest space, anywhere.
Just a warning-watch your fingers! This baby can be small ... but the bite!
Pizza Cutter & Server
Now I've had this great red and white plastic "job" in the year. Bought from a cheap shop for your basic "peanuts"-it has been fantastic. At one end is a roller cutter "blade"-in plastic? (Yes ... and it cuts through pizza bases and each filling operation, just like a dream).
At the other end is a Trowel-shaped plate server and a "pusher" as you move up with the thumbs while keeping the "gadget". Inserting the server portion of the pizza, lifting it onto a plate and then simply push the slider button ... and ...
Voila! ... the images of perfect every time!
Citrus Zester Skin
I know, I know ... we can grate the rind on our regular GRATER ...But ... sometimes, you need only a little, or if you are too lazy to go fossicking in the cupboard ... whatever. So this is hand-held-a nice chubby Rubberized handle makes it a cinch to grasp and scrape down the skin of an orange or lemon, in second place. It has these little cut-out-rings in the top end and the rind cuts in long thin strips. And it also has a small "gouger" cutting or digging out all stains. What the ripper!
Tea Bag Squeezer
Small stainless steel tongs with holes in the rectangular plate "seaweed"-so you can extract tea bag from the cup and squeeze out short enough so it doesn't drip everywhere. So simple ... so effectively. No more steamed or burned fingers ... yippee!
Spaghetti "Lifter"
Well-ll ll ...I do not know what to call it, in addition to an excellent invention. It is a stainless steel "soup low-quality look-alike"-except that it has a hole in the Bowl (to boil water flows) and approximately ten "fingers" or "claws" pointing up, so you can just dip in the large pan cooked spaghetti, and scoop out heaps, and do not run back into the water! You can actually "capture" all "thread". Magic!
Meatball "Mover and Maker"
I saved a Lastly-although it is the newest kid on the block. It has the same chunky Rubberized handle as the last ... again, very comfortable and non-slip of the hand. It looks like a small icecream scoop ...BUT ... it has an additional bit of metal that begins with a lever on the handle with one that applies to the opening page at the bottom of the scoop. Ease the pressure with your thumb on this lever makes the "sticky" Meatball simply plop "out" ...Each time, with no problems. I just love it.
I have a "negative" about these gadgets. Where were these inventions in the years when I "cooking up a storm" for her fiancé, and three children--all with ample farm appetite?
