Absolutely the QVC kitchen sheers. I use those things at least once a day. I cut up salad with them, I cut open packages with them, I cut paper with them. You name it.

I must own at least 12 probably more pairs of those puppies, all sizes all colors. They're all over my house!

Yep! That is my favorite kitchen gadget! I have arthritis so they make my life easier!

My hand-can opener. And my little rubber jar lid unscrewer. I don't grip well any more and can manuver that around.

Back to add, that little round thing that I pull the cord, and it chops up the things I need chopped up in 3 whirls of the blades. I love that gizmo.!!!

@QVCkitty1, I just love the fasta pasta thing too.

Surprisingly, it does a great job & I don't have to heat up the kitchen boiling water in the warm months......if they ever come....April & 5" of snow. Good grief.

Gosh, I am not even sure but the kitchen scissors from QVC rank right up there near the top and the Rangemate microwave grill thingie as well as the Kuhn-Rikon can opener and the Kuhn-Rikon 2-cup pull and chopper (how much more convenient), the scrub daddy, the Nicer Dicer.

I love the convenience of small items.

Another vote for the Fasta Pasta cooker and my pressure cooker.

the Stainless Steel Pineapple Slicer

Best thing invented...for fresh pineapple that is!!

Kuhn Rikon 2 cup Pull & Chop

I haven't used my food processor for chopping since I got this!

My Titan peeler. I love it so much, I own three of them. Mine gets used several times a day and makes my life really easy.

It peels even sweet potato skin as easy as a hot knife goes through butter.

Difficult to choose just one. The ones I use the most are the mandoline, microplane, and veggie spiralizer.

I love my CE turquoise electric pressure cooker which I can also use as a slow cooker. I'm also fond of those kitchen shears @Annabellethecat mentioned. I have several sets and have given them as gifts.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Ninja oven thing. People on Facebook talk like it's the greatest thing since flush toilets but I'm not very impressed with it.

Thank you for telling me about fasta pasta. Checked it out and ordered one. I never heard of it before but it looks amazing.

OXO tongs - I use these a lot and it is usually for cooking. I sautee food with the handy dandy all purpose gadget. Love love love.

OXO makes a LOT of great kitchen gadgets/tools. Probably a whole bunch of my favorite kitchen gadgets are OXO brand. Always great quality and each tool is made to be optimally useful.

Don't have a favorite, but I like the Kuhn Rikon can opener. Life's been a lot easier!

Like the LeCreuset basting brush, the sauce doesn't stick to the silicone bristles but to the food, the head comes off easily to clean quickly and it's in my favorite color.

And my old skinny Microplane, it's grates quicker than the wide ones they sell now.

@Berlybaby Hope you will enjoy it too. It's a really convenient gadget.

The one thing we found out the hard way is to remember to take the COVER OFF before putting it in the microwave or you'll have a big mess because it will overflow. 🙁

The latest Wolfgang Puck pepper grinders. I love them. They work great and are easy to refill. This is the best set of them I have ever bought.

I have a Ninja Mega Kitchen System but it is heavy (maybe not when I bought it, but life has changed). I liked it when I got it but only used it twice. Going to gift my #3 son with that and the Kitchen Aid mixer and the food processor. I can use the mini one for my needs and the hand mixer. As we age out, our appliances get heavier and I am so happy that I have these smaller gadget and you know I love the little vegetable peeler that slides on my finger. Such a neat thing. Wish I thought of that! I no longer use my pressure cooker. Used it twice and I have used my latest crock pot 3 times in as many years. I use it when we cook for the visiting missionaries at church. I take the thing full of chili, vegetable soup or a roast, whatever is needed.

Probably my kitchen scale. I weigh everything from the cats to food on it.
