I'm not a kitchen "gadget freak".  I shun gimmicky
single-purpose kitchen gadgets like
&lt;a href="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20100111/cupcake-maker-mini-cupcakes-fast/"&gt;cupcake irons&lt;/a&gt;, 
garlic presses, melon ballers, grapefruit knives, milk frothers, 
the much-pilloried
&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWRyj5cHIQA"&gt;Slap Chop™&lt;/a&gt;,
and anything that sits in a "junk" cupboard and only comes out once a year.
That being said, there are a number of genuinely useful, versatile tools 
that I get a lot of mileage out of but rarely see other people using.
These things are all inexpensive and most serve multiple purposes.  
Take a look and let me know what you think.
