We seem have more crap than we have cabinet space for, which is pretty amazing considering our kitchen is pretty much floor to ceiling with cabinets.

My general touchstones
Cutco - forever guaranteed knives, work like a charm but if I sense they are dulling, I just send them back and they send me new. Had them for almost 25 years and replaced them twice. Warning, pictured below is about $900 up front. Calphalon - duh, everyone knows Calphalon Stainless steel and silicone wherever possible in utensils [whisks, ladles, spatulas, etc. Even have a collapsible silicone colander as well as a silicone muffin tin and various silicone pads for baking sheets]. Flavorwave Turbo Oven - Halogen heating element with a fan, making a compact convection cooker Induction cooking hot plate - no heating element, cooks by inducing current in cookware itself, surface only gets hot by contact with pot or pan, like setting a pan on a potholder. Kenmore Elite Combo Microwave and Convection Oven My unit http://www.kenmore.com/kenmore-elite...p-02075153000P Good quality rice cooker - can do so much more My unit I have other stuff, but these are what I rely on daily or at least bi-weekly.

I would like to personally recommend you all look into bacon/meat presses.
Great thing to own. Mine is cast iron. Again; I'll get the name of it later on - they're on Ebay 'new' |

Henckel knives and Calpholon hard anodized cookware. I would like a nice kitchenAid mixer. Otherwise I'm good. I would actually like a nice mandoline as well.

Used a spatula, tongs, plastic cutting board, and two cast iron pans with lids tonight. Knife and fork to eat food which was put on a plate. Drank out of a cup. Cleaned pans with a brush and put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. (Not sure if it was cool to mention the fork, plates, and cup as they were not expressly deemed to be permitted in this thread in the OP, but I went for it anyways.)
Have two. Square one and a pig shaped one. |

Microwaves are actually very well suited for cooking bacon. Renders the fat due to the liquid content. Doesn't curl as the heat is applied uniformly at the molecular level. If you have a convection/microwave combi-oven that allows things like stainless steel racks to keep the bacon up out of it's grease, it's the perfect solution.

I also bought a t-fal skillet - I thought these were the best of the worst sort of ordeal. But really, they seem fairly cheap. At least mine does, uneven cooking etc... maybe I just bought a lemon.

Also, it's not so much a tool or utensil, but one of the most important parts of my kitchen [which is smallish] is over my sink. I bought a cheapo two tier towel rack, like this; without the center rack, and a bunch of chain S-links, link in the middle of this; picture. I can hang skillets, my collapsible colander, ladles, spatulas, pizza cutters, whisks, graters, etc. just about anything with a hole at the end of its handle. Up and out of the way, not getting beat up in cupboards or drawers, easy reach, compact footprint. Sink-wide mesh strainer sits up top.
