Gadgets and Gizmos

I know we already have an item on bread machines [and I think I saw one
on food dehydrators]...  

But I'd like to start an item on other food gadgets/machines/things-to-help-
us-cook-and/or-eat item.

So what kind of gizmos or gadgets wouldn't you live without??

Back during Marriage #1, I had a pasta machine.  Used it about three times.
It was one of those hand cranked ones, and as I remember, the consistency
of the dough was absolutely critical to success (and it was very hard to
obtain a proper consistency).  Even so, the idea of making one's own
spaghetti and lasagna was awfully neat (and fun).
 
Two of my current favorite most-needed gadgets are a can opener and a
garlic press.
