Cinder Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 For the kitchen, silicone spatulas and a whisk. And a cookie scoop. I use these items a lot. For the garden/yard, I love the sprayer attachments that have the different types of flow and where you can shut the flow off. Great for watering the garden and washing the car. I also like small pruning shears--like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I love my M cups I got the white because I didn't realize that they had red. http://www.amazon.com/Fred-MCUPR-M-Cups-Measuring-Matryoshkas/dp/B005LGUWYW/ref=pd_sim_k_1 For the garden, I don't really have gadgets. I did take a length of chicken wire and have my dh screw it to the brick around the gutter. Then I grew a gorgeous clematis up the wire to hide the gutter.

KrissiK Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I really like my microplane zester. That's for my kitchen. I forgot to add that for my garden, I love my hula hoe. Edited May 3, 2012 by KrissiK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Action hoe. Picked one up at a flea market type event one summer and love it. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Kitchen: cast iron skillet. Hand's down my favorite cooking tool. I have a flat edge stirring spoon that I love. It's great for stirring puddings and such while cooking, but it was a gift and I can't find it for purchase anywhere. I've had mine 30 years or so. Heavy bottomed cookware, especially cookie sheets. I dislike flimsy cookie sheets. Stainless steel measuring cups and spoons. They make me happy. Restaurant quality mats for places where I stand to chop or clean. A good timer...I get distracted and would forget the cookies otherwise. :D For the garden: I second the action hoe, also called a scuffle hoe. I have two types, both are great at getting baby weeds outta there. Good clippers. Hand and larger for larger pruning. Battery powered weed whacker. I think mine is Black and Decker, costs less than $100, and came with two batteries. I LOVE this. It's balanced well so it doesn't kill my back like the gas powered whackers do. Love it. Wheelbarrow and a little red wagon for hauling whatever I need... Raised beds...my soil is black clay gumbo. Raised beds means I can actually grow food easily. Mulch. Many of the problems in my gardens could be solved by more mulch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I love my silicone spatulas, and spoon shaped spatulas. Mine are Pampered Chef, but if I ever have to replace them, I'll go with a different brand. There's nothing special about the PC ones. I also love my low tech egg slicer. I use it often to slice black olives, strawberries, and even avocado. Other kitchen gadgets I like have already been mentioned here. Although I love to garden, I don't think I really have any garden gadgets. I do have the type of sprayer that a PP mentioned, but mostly I use plain old fashioned garden tools.
