My first is this silicon spatula. It's construction isnt just a silicon tip with wooden handle. Its the red silicon for much more of the handle, which I've felt makes it easier to clean and last longer, since gunk isnt getting wedged between the handle and tip. I like it so much I have two.

The second is probably just a spray bottle with water and dish soap. I clean up messes and the stove and countertops with it, and it's incredibly convenient.

My toaster oven. It's got an air fryer function on it as well. I use mine several times a day for snacks, sides, and sometimes my main entree.

The runners up...

My silicone kitchen utensils are pretty high up there, though. Spoonula, spoon, straight spatula, and fish spatula all work hard in my kitchen. So easy to clean. New silicone tools keep coming out and improving too. Rated for higher temps. I don't like it when I need to replace something, but at least when I do, it's a welcome upgrade.

My enameled dutch oven does a lot for me. I have made so many soups and entrees. I deglaze it pretty much every meal so cleaning it isn't too much of a pain. I don't like taking care of raw cast iron, but something about the enamel doesn't register as much of a pain to me.

I like my measuring tools with no seams. I got the Sur La Table ones.

My silicone mats for my oven are great. Since getting them, my biscuits don't stick. They're perfect every time.

My Vitamix is another small appliance I use often. It's really good for when I am having texture issues and I need some fruits and veggies. (I love green smoothies!)

Ok I gotta stop, I just want to write about everything in my kitchen... Except for my knives. I need to get better ones but I keep getting decision fatigue so I keep using the ones I have. I want to learn how to sharpen them better too before I ruin a good one.

Lmao I have you tagged as "cream cheese slut" and I have no recollection why

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

A modern-day scarlet letter.

But also not wrong.

Basically I can put name tags on user's that stay with them. Mainly used for people I want to avoid. Some are weird like the one I mentioned

Man, you and I are kitchen twins. Love my toaster oven (roasting broccoli is probably my main use for it), silicon spoonulae & spatulae. I use the enamel dutch oven for stews (and winter is when I love making stews), soups, and no-knead bread. Use silicone mats for a lot of stuff (though increasingly using parchment paper) and have a heavy duty blender (not a Vitamix but a Cleanblend).

Roasted broccoli is the best!
