I will admit I love kitchen gadgets.  Not useless ones that fill up the kitchen drawer, but useful ones that I use each and every day.  Some of my favorites are the Microplane zester, my Polder coach timer, the Zeroll ice cream scoop, my Salter Kitchen scale, my thermometers (candy and instant) and my Penguin drink maker (the photo at the top is my favorite seltzer water made with the Penguin). I don’t go a day without using these guys.  I consider my timer and scale absolutely necessary kitchen gadgets.  They make my life so much easier.  It’s amazing how often you need to weigh ingredients or put a timer on so you don’t forget something in the oven. My favorite of the fun gadgets is the Penguin.  It makes carbonizing water so much easier.  I love that I can do a ton of water on one canister and the company takes the empties back to refill.  Awesome!  How about you guys?  Any gadgets you can live without?
