We have many great threads in this forum — some spanning years, others one-offs — but I'd wager (and lose?) that a lot of them wouldn't get "lift-off" if it weren't for kitchen appliances. Not the bigguns — fridge, freezer, stove, dishwasher, etc. — but the hand-held variety. (see title)

I've got three... use 'em every day, multiple times:

  • digital scale I keep a "food log" and can't track the macros w/o weighing the components.
  • immersion blender aka "stick blender" — I couldn't mix protein-powder shakes w/o it.
  • can-opener The hand-operated kind. I eat a lot of canned tuna, also add canned pumpkin puree to my shakes.

What're yours?
