The one who dies with the most kitchen gadgets WINS! I really used to think this way until I realized I had a ton of things I never used. You can multi purpose many of the tools you already have.
I have a few things that are a MUST...
Tongs
Wooden spoons
Rubber spatula (make sure it is heat resistant)
Kitchen Shears
Microplane
You can do so many things with these few things. You know those cute little lemon and lime squeezers..Use your tongs. Place lemon etc in between the long part of the tongs and squeeze. (I sure hope that made sense) Cooking with whole canned tomatoes and you need to chop them up...while they are cooking, use your kitchen shears to cut them into pieces.
Microplane- you can do anything from grate nutmeg, cheese or zesting citrus.
If you have a ton of things in a drawer in your kitchen, take them all out and place them in a box for 30 days. As you use an item place it in the drawer. if after 30 days you have a box full of stuff you haven't used...get rid of it! I always thought I NEEDED all of it. HA! I ended up with an almost empty drawer. lol
