What is the ONE kitchen gadget you could not live without ?

[The Hot Pepper]

Oh it may be a trick question indeed, because your friends can bring the gadgets.

mind blown

I could live without most except my 4 meat grinders....I could probably get by with 2.  That would be a major pain.   I would bring home a lot less fish if I had to get rid of my electric knife.

Starting to seem like a trick question. Life goes on without "gadgets" in the kitchen, just ask early pioneer women. I would say that there is not a gadget out there one could not live without, and that my friends is the correct answer.Boomshakalaka

I stand corrected. This guy would die of a broken heart without gadgets. Therefore I have to apologize for my gadget comment.

I had a titanium spork that I used for backpacking. Loved that thing - I gave it to Sity though, because she loved it more.

I lost 1 second liking your post, and skipping the video and SL's post.

I considered the Cuisinart but have to settle on the Bosch Universal.  We have had this thing for 25+ years.  Robert Bosch introduced his first kitchen machine in 1951.  The Universal has 700 watts of power and can grind wheat, mince meats, stuff sausage, mix pizza dough, cakes and cookies, extrude pasta, process veggies, blend shakes and juice citrus fruits.
 
The one thing it can't do is SPORK!!!

Another way to look at the question is what is what kitchen job sucks the most that can be automated. For me, kneading bread is a laborious chore; therefore, my KitchenAid Stand mixer is pretty high on the list. For someone who hates dicing veggies (I love my knife), they would like the food processor.

Every time I've moved the first thing I find to plug in the kitchen has been my coffee maker.

And I love kneading my sourdough bread into those artisan loaves  
 
That another thing I just can't get myself to do is use a gadget to chop veggies. I enjoy using a good quality Japanese knife to do the job.

If you guys who picked the knife (which I agree is crucial) could pick an electric powered appliance which one would you choose ?

 
An electric knife.They fillet fish really fast.
