I have a garlic chopper, that I absolutely love. I am not sure who makes it, but I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond. You put the cloves in and close the lid and roll it on the counter and it chops it very fine. It makes chopping garlic a breeze.

I don't own any of these products, but I do love my pampered chef can opener. It's wonderful to use and so much easier and less messy than other can openers.

I have The Egg Perfect Egg Timer and I absolutely love it. I can now make perfect hard, medium or soft boiled eggs. The timer is an egg shaped color changing timer and all I have to do is put it at the bottom of my pot with the eggs. The timer changes color (from red to black) as the eggs cook. The graduated scale on the timer lets me know when the eggs are soft, medium or hard boiled by precisely sensing heat instead of going by time. This is what makes it different than any other egg timer. This was the best 5 bucks I've ever spent.

The best gift I have ever received was my Kitchenaid mixer! I got my first one for my 50th birthday from a few of my best girlfriends. It has turned baking into a hobby! The color is Iced Wasabi which is oh so cool :) The Vadalia Chop Wizard looks like something I could really use, as well! Have not seen that before but will investigate as onions absolutely tramatize my eyes.

I have to admit that my favorite kitchen gadget is the good old handy plate scraper (I have a plastic one, but also have found that for that really nasty stuck on food - an old credit card is really the easiest to use)!!! I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to saving time with those nasty dishes my kids cook with and leave in the sink!!! The little stinkers!

I love my Kuerig machine. There are so many varieties of coffee, teas, and hot chocolate to choose from. And now I never waste a pot of coffee. I would recommend this product to anyone that is a coffee drinker.

The best is the George Foreman 360 grill. It's versatile, the plates are interchangeable, I even have plates for waffles!!! It's a healthy way to cook any meat. The clean up is not bad (ensure you purchase the scrubber they sell for it). Basically, after cooking, place a wet paper towel in between the plates and unplug. While you're eating, the wet paper towel helps loosen the grime with the steam. After you've eaten, just open the grill and wipe clean (with a little soapy water towel that you've squeezed the access water out). For those stubborn stains, use the Foreman scrubber made for this grill. We NEVER put it up. It stays on the kitchen counter, we cook many items in there, from bacon to chicken, veggies,etc. It's faster than the conventional method and less mess to clean up.

Never would I have thought I would use my Kitchen Aid Professional 600 Mixer as much as I do. I can easily kneed enough dough for 3 loaves of good ol' white or wheat bread, and then turn around and whip up a light and fluffy meringue to top off a dessert. With a large family my first mixer bowl was way too small ! Thus I would have to make multiple batches of everything taking up most of the day! Now with the 6 quart mixing bowl on my Professional 600, everything can go in at once and it easily mixes because of a powerful motor. I just can't say enough about my KA Pro 600!

I have a Kitchen-Aid Mandolin that I absolutely hate. My teen age son cut off the tip of his finger with it and I hold it responsible (though my son didn't use the safety shield). I really won't use it because I'm scared of it. I put it on a high shelf in the bathroom when I baby proofed my kitchen when my grandson was born.
