For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.

Probably just my chef knife. But that's an obvious and boring answer.

My choice would be my hand blender. I use it for making any dips, many sauces (it is made out of metal) and it also got a blender attachment for shredding vegetables. One of the best investments I made for my kitchen.

Yeah, I love my chef's knife too. I recently received a hand blender secondhand but I am yet to use it!

I second the hand blender. It's just so versatile. I'll add soups and mayo to your list too.

Chef's knife is definitely not boring and may not be as obvious as you think. I come from a family that has only ever used cheap paring knives for everything that have never even been in the same room as a sharpener. Meanwhile, I haven't made a single dish without my Henckels since I bought it 5 years ago. My GIR silicone turner is a close second
