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??

I saw an infomercial for a pasta machine. It's really neat! Just dump in
the ingredients, turn it on, and 2 minutes later, PASTA...
The only thing that really bugs me is that it was invented by Ron Popeil.

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.

I have a pasta machine. It's a set of attachments to my Cuisinart. I
make pasta in it about 6 or 8 times a year. It extrudes about 5 different
types of noodles.

The crockpot, unless we turn vegetarian -- about once a month it provides
the first cooking of pot roast, and about twice a year it makes carcass
soup.
