My favorite is an immersion blender. I have a cord free model. I like to use it making sauces and eggs.
Sauces to hide veggies from my toddler who doesn’t realize the veggies are there for fortification and health.
Eggs I like to blend/whip air into the scramble. Cheese is an easy add too. They are super fluffy and delicious.
As far as cleaning it, I wipe any missed chunks off, put warm water plus soap in a cup, and blend til stiff peaks, JK.
What is your favorite kitchen gadget?
@Heikki2 I had a thing for holding onions when slicing them. It was like a fork, but with 20 or so, really long tines, tight together with just enough spacing that the knife fit between them.
Now that I describe it ti sounds like one of those TV-shopper things that solve a non-problem, it made it so much easier, and I miss it.
