    Default favorite kitchen tool/gadget?

    Not appliances, but gadgets or gizmos. Must be inexpensive (or well worth the investment) and save time or effort.

    I love, LOVE my food chopper. It is the kind that you place over a small amount of food and when you push the top down, the blades cut then rotate 90 degrees on the way back up. I can dice and mince in seconds!

    Love my large OXO good grips salad spinner. If you eat a lot of greens, washing them and taking them for a spin in this baby is the way to go. It costs about $25 and will last a lifetime. Can find them in Target etc. too.[ame="http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00004OCKR/103-5168582-4954228?SubscriptionId=19BAZMZQFZJ6G2QYGCG2"]Amazon.com: Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner: Kitchen & Dining[/ame]

    My electric griddle really gets a workout. Easy breakfasts, sandwiches and quesadillas plus I use it to brown meat before putting it in the crockpot. It was under 20$. Did I mention it is a cinch to clean?

    Also, my Rachel Ray knife. I think if you have a good, sharp knife it takes the place of lots of other gadgets.
