On the grounds that "favorite" implies most often utilized in a sense almost equal to most cherished, I'll stick with bamboo Tongs. Most convenient? Immersion Blender.

I love my clamp style lemon press and lime press. I have both and they are great for juicing without getting acidic juice all over my sensitive skin.
Also love my Good Grips zester and Kyocera ceramic peeler that each do their function so well.

I bought a small “takoyaki” pan in Japan back in April which has made it even easier to add variety to my family’s lunch boxes. I still use our rice cooker, hot water pot and “Air fryer” on a daily basis, but this tool takes care of anything else that’s needed.
It’s also a handy way to make portable and convenient low carb snacks for myself.

I’m more likely to make the furikake shrimp fritters (second recipe in this link https://justbento.com/handbook/recip...ikake-fritters ). But you can have some Vichy style carrot going at the same time.
A plus point for me is that I can mix up oils and cook things in olive oil, butter, coconut oil, mayonnaise, chicken fat - all at the same time. With all of them, each of the pan compartments only needs a tiny amount - it’s like bathing in a bucket.

i love the measuring cups and spoons, as I grind coffee beans daily and use the measuring spoons for my creamer.
I am baking and cooking much more so the measuring cups are very very useful.

In a strange sort of way, I love my pestle and mortar. The aroma of the spices is such a wonderful portent of what's to come, especially when I'm cooking Indian food - the cumin is just fantastic.

Use Barkeeper's Friend cleanser. It's an acidic cleanser (most others are alkaline) and removes anything and everything from the stainless steel with just the scrubby side of the sponge.

With a whole lot of down time I've been watching baking videos and see a couple of tools that get rave reviews that I am considering adding to my personal kitchen supply. Anyone here use a bench scraper? How about a Danish dough whisk? Would either of these tools be one your favourites?
