Mine has gotta be my nice big shiny cook's knife... simply COULD NOT get by without it...
solid rimu chopping board from NZ - nice hard wood, and survives many batterings!
Essential kitchen item = Dishwasher.
Essential cooking item = Chinese vegetable cleaver or Rice Cooker.
The Man with the Silver Spot
essential kitchen item = dishwasher again
essential cooking item = memsaab spice pack from work (yummmmm)
Knife sharpener. I use a combination of a steel for a quick re-touch and I have a nice set of sharpening hones so I can recut a blade and sharpen to whatever angle I want. Also have a lite diamong stone for doing small knives. I hate blunt knives
Easy..... my corkscrew!!!![]()
If you're not living on the edge, you take up too much room
Talking of corscrews, anybody tried one of these lever action ones?
I have a cheap version, cost £20 and its great. There's warnings that they dont open synthetic corks, but its managed everything I've chucked at it. Especially good when your a bit sozzled![]()
nah mate - proper corkscrew:
best in the biz - double action means no more cracked corks!
My knife - Pampered Chef cooks knife IIRC![]()

My knife and almost as important my steel.

Mine is my "big scary knife"
It's not really big, not really scary... but it is a knife...
a nice serrated one... as long as a knife cuts tomatoes properly then I'll use it.

The two women in the household....
Or maybe my Samurai sword - there's nothing quite like halving large fruit and veg. to relieve stress and thereby make the household a safer place to live!
Seriously though - either this little super-sharp knife, or a potato peeler - I actually love peeling potatoes, don't ask me why!
