As the title says, what are the best kitchen equipment or tool accessories you have bought so far ? This doesn't include standard kitchen stuff like ovens (and probably microwaves and dishwashers too for a lot of people now days), but things like smoothie making machines, toastie makers, rice cookers, bread making machines, egg poachers and tools like garlic crushers etc etc.
For me i use my bread making machine the most, almost on a daily basis, so i would have to say that this is the most useful kitchen accessory that i have bought so far. I did buy a rice cooker and steamer recently (also does veg and meats like fish too), and while it cooks rice ok, its steaming abilities are pretty poor. My smoothie maker is second best, closely followed by my egg poacher thing. Did have a garlic crushing tool recently which was awesome (use garlic in so much of my cooking) but i accidentally broke it recently.
I really want a decent pepper grinder right now, the one i have produces a pitiful amount of ground pepper after much grinding, which is bad since i love to have loads of pepper in my food.
So how about you guys/girls ?
