I'm not talking about small appliances, pots, pans or stuff like that. I'm talking about a gadget you have that makes a job easier. Some examples I like are my cast iron lime juicer, a really good garlic press. I'm looking for more unusual gadgets that most common cooks may not know about. I'm looking for gift ideas. Thanks
They're wooden and shaped like giant fork ends. You can usually find them on eBay (maybe search wood salad tongs)... Pampered Chef also makes a good jar opener. I have a little wire whisk that I use all the time, with a deep small metal bowl, to make glazes for cakes & cookies ... Williams Sonoma makes good sets of silicone rubber scrapers (spatulas) including a "spoonula" (a rubber scraper with an impression like a spoon bowl in it) ... Parchment paper is the absolute BEST thing to use for cookies. You didn't want a pot, but I have a large saucepan that has a lid that snaps on it; with tiny holes around a spout on one side; so you can drain pasta right from the pan....
