Other than your chef's knife what is the one tool you just can't live without in the kitchen?

Mine would be the radio and the robo-coupe.

No fair, Nicko. You excluded the one absolutely indispensible tool.

I'd have to agree with Chad, though. Tongs play an increasing role in my kitchen, and I'd be lost without them.

microwave.... im sorry to say, and thats only because of the kitchen i work in...

the chargrill is too hot so when i ask for a chicken breast its either burned or still raw in the middle so i nuke it...

of course if im doing the chicken for someone i like i use the frankie grill, now ive only been cooking for around 6 months proff but the old chef who has been cooking for 9 or more years proff, whos partner is the manager who has been cooking for 14 years proff... she likes my food better because she knows ill screw the company procedures and make nice food... (frankie grill is cheaper to run than a chargrill anyway)

it's those little things in life that leave you frustrated......lolol plastic wrap....hard to work without it.

Through the years I've demoed out on the street w/o water, electricity....you can make dishes without heat....cutting boards are pretty important....hmmmm bowls are pretty important if you're not using a skillet/pot.....fire extinguisher is not used often if ever but if you need it, you need it.

I swear to god this isn't a plug, but I'm gonna have to go w/ my kuhn rikon peeler, even if it is just a cheap piece of plastic, I've had mine for 5 years, the blade rusted due to someone else's misuse twice, and it is still hands down the sharpest peeler I've used and it won't break like a ceramic.
