I think it is the cheese grater with the slicer on the side. I am quite fond of my potato masher as well

Chef's knife

Fancy new pressure cooker's getting a fair bit of use but really I just wouldn't be without a good sharp knife.

Oh yeah, and my eaziglide neverstick2 pan is astonishingly good.

I'm saving up for a Minosharp to go with my Global knife.

My cheese shaver thingy. It shaves off wafer thin slices, as opposed to door stopper ones i could only manage with a knife.

Given the number of posts on the Fray Bentos thread, surely there must be a lot highly cherished tin openers out there?

My garlic press.

I broke a succession of cheap ones so I finally splashed out about £20 on a quality one with a lifetime guarantee. (It has lasted over 10 years so far and is still good as new.)

Oh, they're hateful things. My wife uses one, it's such a pain to clean and makes everything in the diswasher smell of garlic. What's wrong with simply a board, a good sharp knife, and a pinch of salt?

I've got a lovely old Sabatier knife, pre-war I think and that has lovely balance and is kept sharp with a proper 'steel'. The only snag is it rusts if you don't wash and dry it immediately after use.

I brought myself a couple of Teflon frying pans after Xmas...after getting fed up of our former pans sticking all the time. Love using the new ones.

I love my large stoneware baking bowl. All sorts of yummy treats come out of that.

I've got two slow cookers that see a lot of use at this time of year. Also some silicone waffle moulds for making baked oat waffles.

I only have a small kitchen so I can't buy any more gadgets.

Apart from the obligatory sharp knife you can’t do without a fish slice.
