For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.

I’m embarrassed, but…my microwave gets a lot of use. I meal prep and reheat a lot, though sometimes I get fancy and finish in the toaster oven. I also bake all my bread, and the kitchenaid is invaluable for kneading all that dough.
The most esoteric tool I use on the reg is probably the whirley pop, it makes the best stovetop popcorn, which I snack on at least a couple times a week.
Nothing wrong with microwave cooking. You’d be surprised how many things you can cook with one. Old school microwave cookbooks from the 70s are awesome.
I love my microwave too. Had to get a new one recently as our old one bit the dust. It meant a whole week without microwave lentils or precooked meals that I’d frozen. I was so lost! I’m not a huge fan of cooking so the micro is my friend.
Oh same on the whirley pop. It took a lot of deliberation before I bought it, because it’s such a single use thing for my small kitchen. But it is so much better than microwave popcorn and so much easier than shaking a pot/bowl on the stove. Definitely worth it!
I concur!! I used to burn so much popcorn lol. The company is also amazing, the first one I got looked slightly wonky, but after a phone call and a few photos they were able to figure out it was damaged in transit and sent me a new lid within a week!
