Wait, a contest about single-taskers, and yer giving away... a single-tasker?! Nah, I gave away my Sushi-making kit at the last garage sale I had, unopened!

If you have a specialized kitchen gadget made for only one purpose, use your imagination and re purpose it.

Example,
1- Your ____________ comes to visit, serve them soup using the egg separator spoon.

2. Use the small openings side of the cheese grater to pare off the corns on your feet.

3. A food processor can be used to make excellent chum.

These are only a few suggestions, I'll be back with more.

Sanjuancb, don't forget that wooden spoon can also be used to straighten out unruly kids, at least it could when I was unruly.

GARLIC PRESS.

My mandoline slicer. Honestly makes everything you can think of better/easier. Coleslaw sliced perfectly thin, homemade potato chips, cucumbers and onions to pickle, I even found another use as I had some severely over frozen bunker that I sliced super thin and tossed it in a bucket with bunker oil and made into a sweet no mess chum. Honestly thought it was a waste of money when I first bought it but now I use it at least a couple times a week. Slice lettuce for salads and sandwiches... I could go on forever.

i would have to say that my favorite kitchen tool would be my lemon zester/grater. Its stainless steel head remove the zest from the pith of lemons and other fruits. It comes in handy when im making my homemade limoncello :)

the worst gadget was a injector for chicken or poultry, i got a small one and it takes up more space that i care to admit. as far as a multi tasker, i never thought having a good wustof chef's knife would be such a good purchase. it's amazing how that knife has transformed my slicing and dicing to something to behold.

I bought a moo mixer, the only task is to mix my milk and chocolate. Let me tell you it mixes them perfectly.

I have this neat gadget that looks similar to a toilet bowl brush, although on a much smaller scale. However, instead of a brush, there is a round, horizontal, pinwheel design made of metal. Its sole purpose is to separate burger, be it beef or venison or whatever. It can turn a pound of burger into taco meat in seconds. Its the only way my mom will touch raw burger. Without it, no tacos!!

My favorite kitchen gadget is my 8" santoku made by global. I love it and can do anything with it!

Our cast iron skillet is probably the most used and favored gadget, never washed with soap and has been seasoned by cooking for an untold amount of years.

A salad shooter - nothing like combining guns and vegetables (I love my potato gun).

On a more serious note, I have a Kitchen Aid mixer with grater, slicer, and meat grinder attachments, and one of these days I'll get the sausage stuffer.

I'm not sure what you would cal it; I've always refered to it as an apple disasmbly device. There is a spike on the end of a threaded arm. You stick the apple on the spike and start cranking the arm. It moves the apple through a steal ring that cuts the core out, while also forcing it into contact with a blade that peels it and cuts it into a long spriralling ribbon. Dad always uses it when making apple pies.

Mine is my fly reel that I clean, and lube in the kitchen sink when my wife is not around.

My favorite kitchen gadget is my counter-top pizza maker. I can make all kinds of things besides pizza on it: nachos, pizza rolls, homemade pizza, heat up left-overs. It makes for a kind of open face toaster oven.

By far, the greatest thing in my kitchen is the Foodsaver Gamesaver Vacuum Sealer. The uses are endless, and it preserves my game meats better than any other process availible. What could possibly be better?

I love reading about other peoples' gadgets!

I personally bake a lot of cookies, and my least favorite thing is to open my brown sugar container and find a block of rock hard brown sugar.
I have a couple JBK Pottery terra cotta clay discs which I keep in the brown sugar to keep it soft, and then I only have to re-soak and dry them every couple of months. I don't like the bread idea, because it dries up too fast.

Now I'm going to go look up some of these other great suggestions!

My foodsaver is near the top of the list but it pales in comparison to the usefulness of my sharpened spatula. Its just a normal spatula that i grinded an edge on. making cheesesteaks or grilled cheese? do you stirring and flipping pull it off and slice the sandwich to manageable size. great for slicing pizza and even vegetables in a pinch. its also handy for scraping on stuck-on grime during clean-up.

I can't like without my Wusthof 2 stage knife sharpener. A chef's most important tools are his knives. A true outdoorman and chef both know the importance of a sharp knife. They far outweigh all of the silly gadgets mentioned above. (Some items listed are really "gadgets") Despite how much I try, I just can't get the hang of a diamond stone, so this gadget is a true time saver for me. :)

The best kitchen gadget would have to be the microwave, it is the greatest invention since the toaster.

Being politically correct I would have to say the turkey cannon I won from Draper last Thanksgiving. But honestly it would have to be my foodsaver vacuum sealer. It's the one kitchen gadget I use relgiously whether its for game meat, domestic meat, fish or veggies

ulu knife and a walnut board.

To easy Keurig single serve coffee brewer. Is their anything better than coffee pretty much on demand?!

I "acquired" a nice multi-use kitchen gadget from my mother. It was made in the late 70's/early 80's, and it has the Harvest Gold color to prove it! It has several interchangeable parts that allow it to be used as a blender (margaritas), a mixer (beer bread) and a meat grinder (wild game processing). I guess its more of a survival tool now that I think about it!

We love our Blendtec! Not only can it blend up rakes, iPads and shoes, but it also makes a mean smoothie. I actually saw the founder of Blendtec do a live blending demonstration and it was fascinating. He took everything the crowd gave him and crammed it down into this blender. And it made dust of everything. There was actually another company at the event, called OraBrush, and he grabbed a bunch of their products and pulverized them right in front of the other company's CEO. It was hilarious! Trust me, no kitchen is complete without one of these babies!

My dehydrator!
Of course I use it to make deer and beef jerky, but during the summer when I have a garden, I dehydrate various vegetables, especially tomatoes, to use year round which have their distinct flavor still intact.
I dehydrate flowers to make arrangements which is also a plus.
