Kitchen Gadgets...Get them, Love them, Use them!

I have recently become a huge fan of kitchen gadgets!  They can make life in the kitchen so much easier, well, the right ones can...some are just silly. 

Here are some recent additions to my kitchen...

Epica Automatic Electric Milk Frother and Heater Carafe...MY FAV!  This product is AWESOME!  I use chocolate almond milk and it works great for that "Coffee Shop" experience!  Got on Amazon

Black & Decker Citrus Juicer - Works great!  Can be a little loud, but it does the job.  I buy a big bag of limes from Costco and juice them and put in a plastic squirt bottle...whenever I need a splash of lime juice...like cocktails or guacamole!  :)  Got on Amazon

OXO Steel Garlic Press - I've heard so many cooks/chefs say "get a good garlic press" and now I know why.  Easy, clean and annihilates the garlic!  Got on Amazon

YouCopia Chef's Edition Spice Stack 30-Bottle Spice Organizer - I could never find my bottles or it took forever to pick up each bottle from front to back of cabinet to find the right one, this has solved that!  Got on Amazon

Hand-held Mondoline Slicer -  I love making cucumber salad and with this gadget I can slice a large cucumber in seconds.  A big time saver!  :)   I got at Bed, Bath & Beyond

Microplane Premium Black Zester/Grater - like the garlic press..."just get a good one"  :)   Got at BB&B.

Hand-held Juice Press - get a good one!  for those times when you only need juice from one citrus! 

Waffle maker - don't use a lot, but nice to have when you get a hankering for some!

Rice cooker - I can say that this is one of my least favorite things...at least for what it's main purpose is.  I do like it as a steamer.  Every time I make rice in it, I just don't like the way it turns out.  I don't know, maybe I'm doing it wrong!?!  Got at Costco

Zucchini Spiral Slicer - meh...don't use much. 

Hand Blender - Love, love, love this!  Works great for pureeing!  For my homemade dog food!  :)

Ok, these may not be "Gadgets" but some of my other favorite kitchen items...

Cuisinart Griddler and Panini Maker - We use this all the time...for sandwiches, quesadillas, burgers..(veggie ones, even).  Awesome product - BB&B.

Convection Oven - since getting one of these (actually, this is my second one) I hardly ever turn on my oven.  Faster and without heating up the whole house.

Well, that my list for now.  I'll keep you updated on others as I get them.
