Go Go Gadget...

...make a meal!

While I always will invest in and appreciate a good cooking/baking/entertaining basic (butcher block cutting board, the perfect chef's knife, a passed-down cast iron pan), I'm a sucker for a kooky kitchen gadget. They are like toys that involve getting to eat and drink! Playtime! 

I was editing out a kitchen drawer and came across many finds, some of which took a while to recall a purpose. It was almost a game.

Let's call it Guess! That! Gadget!

Recognize any of them? Or do they just resemble medieval torture devices?

What is a kitchen tool that you can't live without? Or are you more of a hands-are-the-only-tool-you-need kind of cook?

Speaking of useless gadgets, HERE is one artist's attempt to create the most frustrating products imaginable. I laughed/cringed just seeing the pictures. It makes me very thankful for the fork.
