It's The I ♥ My Favorite Kitchen Gadget Party!

Thank you to everyone that entered or stopped by, the winner is Kaye Swain SandwichINK. I've e-mailed you for your address Kaye.

Hey everyone I'm so glad you're here! Happy Valentine's Day and WOO HOO it's time for the...
I My Favorite Kitchen Gadget Party!
As any guy will tell you, it's best to have the right tool for the job, 
and I say that goes for the kitchen too-I love them all:@)
I consider a gadget anything that we use to make kitchen life easier or food prettier.

I'm especially fond of cookie cutters, they can be used for so many things!
 
Homemade ravioli using my KA pasta roller, shaped with cookie cutters.
Is it just me or does it still feel like you need three hands to make pasta even with the roller?
Strawberry/Rhubarb pie for dessert today-
Cookie cutters make everything fun, there is no end to the possibilities!

It dawned on me as I was putting this post together that I don't really have any vintage gadgets.
The closest I could come is this Bakelite cake server that my lovely assistant Earl is modeling.
I think he was really just looking for the cake!

And remember these Tupperware goodies? Gold and brown, must be early 80's!

I have to laugh because I cooked for 20 years with the same set of stainless steel pots and pans and then I discovered... QVC. Oh boy, I never knew there were so many things you needed for the kitchen:@)
Like this 4 quart electronic pressure cooker, love it!
It has a browning function and works as a 180 degree slow cooker too.
...and it's true, the new ones do not blow up:@)

This was the first pig item I bought for my kitchen
It's a 3 quart ceramic casserole dish that can be used in the oven, on the stove or on the grill.
Looks mighty fine with watermelon wedges in it too!

Eugina says, 
I have a million dollars invested in kitchen toys, what I really need is to sign up for a cooking class!

Ok folks, picking an absolute favorite would be as hard as choosing between my kids, 
and truthfully, my favorite is the gadget I need at the moment!
