For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.

My most used kitchen items are also my coffee setup. Gaggia classic and eureka mingon. Used at least once a day

My 10 inch cast iron pan

Recently made the leap to get a relatively expensive ($60NZD / $40USD) variable temperature kettle. Being able to keep the water warm while I take a shower or get coffee/green tea at the right temperature has been such a quality of life improvement!

Ceramic knives, fish spatula, and the immersion blender.

5 mini silicone spatulas. It was cheaper to buy 5 than 1 on Amazon and at first I was like I don't need this many mini spatulas, but they're super helpful and great at scraping and I don't have to worry about washing them between jobs since I have several I can swap between. I find them more versatile than having one big spatula.

We have two stoneware baking sheets that I use almost exclusively for putting things in the oven. They're great for reheating stuff in there and kind of like cast iron, they get more and more non stick as you use them.

I have a blue oven safe mixing bowl with a lid I use all the flipping time. I microwave it, use it for popcorn, mixing stuff, store leftovers and baked stuff in it...

Not the most exciting choice but its definitely my most used kitchen item.

All 3 of my cutting boards. They get so beat up and I hardly ever maintain them.

FYI, if they're wooden, you can make your own cutting board conditioner easily and inexpensively. Only needs two things; mineral oil and pure beeswax, 4 parts oil to 1 part beeswax. Heat up the oil, mix in the wax, decant into containers, and let it cool. Store-bought conditioner is almost always that same primary mix; maybe with a little something extra, maybe not.

Thanks! I’m mostly just lazy. I have conditioner I just don’t use it. Good idea though!

Cast iron skillet is favourite/most used kitchen item. In lieu of a toaster I use it to brown bread slices.

[-] marshadow@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

My favorite is the rice maker. I’ve had only perfect rice since I got it. But the most used are the gooseneck kettle and the hand grinder for coffee.

[-] StringTheory@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

What hand grinder do you have? I’m looking for a decent one, hopefully simple and sturdy like my grandma had and used for decades.

[-] marshadow@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

It's the Hario Skeleton Pro. Not exactly grandma-tier -- it's got plastic parts on it, including the little dial for setting how coarse/fine -- but gets the job done. Hario also makes some wood/ceramic/steel ones that would probably be more durable (and definitely have that grandma's kitchen look).
