Gravy Separator | Williams-Sonoma
First to recommend
Description
I love this! I've never been exactly crazy about gravies but I do believe in spending time to make my own stocks. This fabulous tool separates the juices and fat while sieving out the extras. The low spout at the bottom pours out the juices so there's no need to spend an hour attempting to spoon off the fat from the top.

Wide Ceramic Peeler | Williams-Sonoma
First to recommend
Description
When visiting my mom at Christmas and was trapped in her kitchen I realized that I needed to get a new peeler. My left-handed husband had many problems with the dull blade and design of her all-purpose peeler. When I saw this wide ceramic peeler I knew I had to buy it! The ultra-sharp and wide ceramic blade makes it easy to shave and peel just about everything! From vegetables to cheeses and chocolates this peeler can do it all and because it's ceramic it retains its sharp edge up to ten times longer than regular steel.

Silicone Spatulas, Lemongrass | Williams-Sonoma
First to recommend
Description
Yeah I'm recommending spatulas, but for a girl that is constantly updating her kitchen utensils and tools I have to rave about these. Forget those cheaply made spatulas that often cause more discomfort because these spatulas work like a dream. The soft and ultra-flexible heads get every last bit, never melt or crack, and I've yet to see a stain from any that I've owned. The handle is also made from soft maple and it's ROUND! I absolutely hate having to use flat-handled spatulas for long periods of time (some health issues) because I either lose my grip or it hurts. These lovely large rounded handles make it so easy and comfortable to use that I know if you get one, you'll probably toss those other spatulas you have.

Chef'n Stainless Steel Dual Salt and Pepper Mill
First to recommend
Description
I first saw this in my mother-in-law's kitchen and fell in love instantly! This duo salt and pepper mill has such an ingenious design! With one simple twist you can switch between salt and pepper, and the levers can easily adjust for different coarseness for your grinds.

John Boos & Co. Chinese Chopping Block
First to recommend
Description
A quality chopping block (cutting board) is essential for preparing food. The weight, the surface area, and the fact that this can tolerate just about anything makes it a must for my home kitchen!

Silicone Nonstick French Rolling Pins
First to recommend
Description
Investing in a quality rolling pin is essential for the serious baker. One must consider weight (for pressure), texture, and comfort. Anyone that has ever had trouble rolling a cool pastry dough will understand completely just what a difference it can make to have the right tool. This nonstick silicone French rolling pin has everything you need and its design is classic yet modern - a must for any kitchen!

Le Creuset Moroccan Tagine
3 people recommended this item
Description
We received this for our wedding and we love it!
Not only is it practical to use, it has that great exotic ethnic appeal for when you are cooking for guests. Easy, efficient to use and clean and it makes a beautiful decorative piece in the kitchen between dinners. (via Sur la Table)

List that features this:
Thermapen Super-Fast Instant Read Thermometer
First to recommend
Description
Owning a digital thermometer is a must if you're serious about the safety and flavour of your food. I know that before I actually went out and purchased one that it was a terrible guessing game when it came to my turkeys and other roasts. The thermapen is quick, accurate, and durable. My only complaint is that I always have to consider metric conversions since I use metric measurements over here and this pen is only designed with fahrenheit in mind.

OXO Salad Spinner
20 people recommended this item
Description
For anyone who doesn't have a Salad Spinner, you need to put it on your wish list. Honestly, it is amazing. It used to take me hours to dry lettuce and other leafy greens, with a Salad Spinner it literally takes minutes!

Adorable and functional - These are essential for family food preparation. Durable, lightweight, and easy-grip handles and a rubber base are kid-friendly and the sizes and colours are suitable for any age. The small spout is also a nice feature if you don't require exact amounts when pouring.
